Here is the article I had mentioned about possible benefits with the addition of vitamin C added to your skin lightening regimen that I had read a couple of months back.
How taking extra Vitamin C lightens skinVitamin C and lighter skin (http://www.whiterskin.info/how-taking-extra-vitamin-c-lightens-skin/)

There are several forms of vitamin C, so some are more potent at helping to inhibit some of the tyrosine activity than other forms.

I think it's an Interesting site that has several articles, links, and documented clinical trials explaining topics of skin lightening along with historical and scientific information as well:

Thanks GG, that's a great article...
After reading this article, I'm convinced that the people who see results while taking glutathione whitening pills; are actually getting results from the Vit C, which are recommended to be taken with the glut pills...

Yeah. This article convinced me to take vitamin c in hopes it will give my lightening regimen a boost or at least add nice glow when the lightening results begin to show ;)

That's great Vicky. How many mg do you take?

Yeah, the form I have is ascorbic acid which is pretty good, but I read there are a couple of other forms that are more potent than ascorbic
