New Moon Soft Glow+ glutathione and collagen review

At around ₱1,900 as of August 24, 2026 for 60 capsules of 500mg. Nothing else in this category costs close to that, and the listing is at least clear about where the money goes.

The one number it gives you

200mg of S-acetyl glutathione per capsule, out of a 500mg capsule containing seven ingredients.

That is the ingredient the product is priced on, and quantifying it is the right choice. The remaining ingredients, tripeptide collagen, white tomato powder, sodium ascorbate, sakura extract, zinc glycinate and black pepper extract, share the other 300mg and none is stated.

So the collagen in a collagen-and-glutathione product is a small share of 300mg, against the 3.5g to 4g a day the collagen trials used. If collagen is what you want, this is not the product to buy for it.

Why S-acetyl rather than plain glutathione

Glutathione is a small peptide, and swallowed peptides get broken down in the gut, which is the central problem with oral glutathione and the reason its effectiveness is argued about.

The S-acetyl form has an acetyl group attached, intended to protect the molecule through digestion so more reaches the bloodstream intact. That is a real chemical rationale and the human evidence is still limited rather than settled.

Paying a premium for it is paying for a plausible mechanism rather than a proven outcome. Worth knowing what kind of bet that is.

The warning that matters most in this category

Whatever you decide about oral glutathione, the important public-health point sits next door.

The Philippine FDA has repeatedly warned against injectable glutathione for skin lightening. It is not an approved use, the products are frequently unregistered, and reported harms include serious kidney, liver and skin reactions as well as the infection risk of unsterile injection.

Oral glutathione, whatever its limits, is the safe format. If a clinic or a seller offers you the injectable version, that is the moment to walk away.

Black pepper extract is doing something specific

Easy to skim past. Piperine, the active compound in black pepper, slows the metabolism of several substances in the gut and liver, which can increase how much of them reaches the blood.

That is why it appears in supplements. It is also why it can affect how your body handles medicines, so if you take prescription medication it is worth mentioning to a pharmacist.

Who should buy Soft Glow+

Buy this if oral glutathione is specifically what you want, you accept that the evidence is unsettled, and the price is comfortable.

Skip it if you are buying collagen, which is not what this product delivers, and skip anything injectable regardless.

Cheaper and more specific alternatives

For a product built around collagen with a published dose, see the Goodies Glow collagen gummies 60-count. For the brand’s cheaper hair, skin and nails capsule, the New Moon Bouncy Boost is under a quarter of the price.
