Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testThe APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Body Wash is a hypoallergenic, brightening body cleanser that deeply purifies while nourishing and soothing sensitive skin. Enriched with 1,000ppm of Glutathione and Niacinamide, it works to visibly improve skin’s radiance and elasticity. Hyaluronic Acid and Beta-Glucan lock in moisture, keeping skin hydrated and soft, while cica-based ingredients like Centella Asiatica calm irritation. Clinically tested for sensitive skin, this body wash is gentle enough for daily use, offering a refreshing cleanse that leaves skin looking brighter and feeling smooth.
Glutathione Niacinamide Body Wash is a lightweight cleanser from APLB. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 39 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Sodium Hyaluronate, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Hyaluronate and Beta-glucan.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Centella Asiatica Extract, Beta-glucan, Asiaticoside and Sodium Benzoate.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on oil control, brightening and tone, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free and microplastic-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes first step. Use on damp skin and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a toner or essence while skin is still slightly damp.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
