    I have been practising homeopathy for a number of years and there is only one product that will GUARANTEE you whiter skin - BEARBERRY TINCTURE.
    Bearberry leaf
    is a melanin blocker and is scientifically proven to be more effective than both kojic acid and hydroquinone.
    And the best thing of all It costs next to nothing!!! It's 100% pure plant!!
    I highly recommend the tincture as it is more potent than the pills and is easily absorbed. It can be applied externally aswell as being taken orally (3/4 drops in juice or water). Drink plenty of water too as this will cleanse your liver and make the bearberry tincture work better. Hope this is of help. Try it and see:D

    Hi.. I have some questions reagarding yr post.. if you say that we could take bearberry tincture (hydroquinone) orally it could lighten skin.. but hydroquinone is not even considered good (in creams) if we apply it topically.. then how come its not going to damage us internally?
    Plus our human body only produces hydroquinone with bearberry when our urine is alkaline then do we have to take baking soda with it to make it alkaline?. :D
    Another question is that they say not to take it for long.. like more than 14 days or something because its very damaging to the liver.. then how come your saying we can take it FOREVER.. cause basically that's how we're going to keep the melanin blocked... whats yr say on that?
    Since our body produces melanin in various forms such that in our hair+ eyes etc too other than the skin. Does that mean if we keep blocking the production of melanin any way (L-gluthione etc) our hair etc are going to turn white?? :eek: loool excuse me for so many questions...

    To tell you the truth I never used it myself and in various threads people have given sites like unitedsheltor etc (which is the cheapest) where you can buy it from.. I suggest you do some research before using any pills etc cause these going to rip you off but if you don't get any reselts,its all going to go to waste .so good luck

    Cookie20, I am a seller of whitening products too... you know, you don't have to tell everyone that all glutathione products here in the Philippines are BFAD aprroved because they are not :) glutathione is an anti-oxidant and a food supplement thus BFAD or FDA Approval isn't that necessary. Some brands get their product approved by BFAD for the sake of securing the buyers of its safety since all of us, except for some maybe, is more concern with our health than the color of our skin.

    One thing I can say is that if you going to buy Glutathione, just choose the brand that does NO contain the following ingredients:
    - Tyrostat ( L tyrosine)
    - Goat/Sheep Placenta Extract
    - Vitamin A and E (of high dosage)

    And the only brand with BFAD Approval that I know of is:
    MET-tathione
    ** BFAD APPROVED LTO No.-DRII-MM-F-3481
    ** BFAD APPROVED Registration Number - FR49758
    Category- Food Supplement

    I think fat doesn't have anything to do with the effectivity of the pills, why should it matter on your part on the first place? What brand of glutathione is this? I guess you should be more concern on the dosage of glutathione is in each capsules more than the fat contents.

    Sunaina,

    l-glutamine is essential for muscular energy during hard exercise. That after intensely working out, glutamine levels in the body are reduced by as much as 50%. When supplemented, it may help body reduce the amount of muscle deterioration that occurs after exercise, because with supplementation other tissues that need glutamine will not rob the glutamine stored in the muscle cells.

    Glutamine helps control the negative biochemical affects resulting from the build up of the waste by-products resulting from hard exercise

    While L-Glutathione is for other things like SKIN LIGHTENING :)

    Hope it helps...

    Hi there everyone, I was about to buy this "Glutathione thing", when I came across of this site, from then I've been having second thoughts right now. I am not really dark, as a Filipina I can be said to have fairer complexion, but the thing is I am not satisfied with having a fairer complexion alone, I am not flawless, I easily get pimples, my pores are dilated (so to speak) I thought that by using glutathione,I can achieve flawless skin and my pores will be minimized. However I want to share you what really made my skin fairer, it's a soap my dermatologist suggested I use, it's called Kojic soap, I think it helps for me to have lighter skin but not in minimizing my pores.

    I have ordered one bottle of this. My physician advised me not to take more than 1 capsule of this in a day because it has 400IU of Vitamin E. I had breakouts with this!! Because I have oily skin and Vitamin E made me breakout according to my dermatologist.

    You mean you had break outs using beauoxi white or vitamin e? Did it worked for the lightening or did your skin get worst

    Hello everyone. It's my 4th day of using powerpack megathione. I'm taking 1000mg a day and 2000 mg of vit C. But I observed, its like I'm having hyperacidity perhaps I will reduce my vit C to 1500 a day since every capsule of powerpack megathione contains 250mg of Vit. C. I'll start it tomorrow and see if I still have the hyperacidity feeling lolz. Together, I'm using the glutathione whitening soap and its my 5th day, and yep, my skin becomes lighter and smoother, although I use colagen elastin after using the soap for my face and a lot of smoothing lotion since it gives me a dry feeling after bath. But the effect is quite visible and I like it. My friends also notice it, and perhaps, its with the soap... I'll keep you updated with any results.

    Hi. I'm sera. I have always been dark. I used to be teased by my classmates way back HS. I tried a lot of things, and like you, I wasted a lot of money because the results where not really convincing :(

    I'm now having dr. james glutathione + metathione. It works good together.

    I had breakouts dues to the high vitamin E contents of Beauoxi.
    When I stop taking it, my flareups stops too.

    Hi,

    I saw your message.
    I used benoquin, about 3 years ago to take away the remaining vitiligo.
    Just now, some freckles are showing up, so I decided to start using benoquin again.

    It was a gift from up above (benoquin)

    Sencerely,

    Candice

    Listen every body I have spent years looking and trying to find a whitening pill and creams.I am a black female and have spent a lot of money and have been scamed. Well I have found the real thing which celebrities use. And why black stars skin get lighter and if you look at their child hood pictures they are really dark. I am so happy no more wastiong my money.

    I have found a place that does gluthathione skin whitening pill and injection. They also do body scrub with bleach,peels for acne scarring and other creams that are used for the body especial for the back,elbows and bottom area. They also do cosmetic surgery. They are a well known professional company. They do not do shipping online service you have to have a consultation with the doctor. The only big problem for me is that they are based in the philphines they have several clinics in the philphines. So I will have to make appointment because I live in england will need to arrange time of work. I will keep you posted. I could have kept this information to myself but that would be unfair. If you really intersted then send me private message. I will then give you the website the rest is up to you :)

    Do lightening pills lighten just the pigmented areas first? Or will they lighten the entire skin so making the dark spots still uneven with the normal skin?

    I Use Ambi Fade Cream. It Lightned My Face After 4 Weeks Use. I Used It In The Morning And At Night. I Use Idole Lightning Exfoliating Soap Before Using Ambi Fade Cream As My Face Wash, Instead Of Ambi Soaps. Together It Works Great!! Even Though It Is 2 Different Brands. My Skin Glows And Stays Moisturized And Feels Sooo Soft. Now I Am Trying It On My Body. It Worked Great For My Face But Its Taking A Little Longer On My Body ( Legs, Arms Etc,. ) I Guess Its Because The Skin Layer Is Thicker. Even Though I Love How It Lightned My Face And Fades My Blemishes ,I Feel 2 Toned Until The Rest Of My Body Lightens Up. Anyone Knows Of Anything Works Faster On The Body For Lightening?? Any Lotions Or Soaps??

    I live in australia, and there are available at the black salons here but you can order online at www.afritaste.com...I recommed the whole pact soap, oil, crème, facial cream and lotion if you wish.

    Thanks you for the link! so does this stuff really works? the price for the product is really cheap.. usually you have to pay a lot of money for product that suppose to work.

    do you have to mix the bio claire cream and oil together to get good result?

    Hi unpredictable,

    How are the Bio Claire products working for you lately? I'm curious about your lightening routine. Didn't you find it rather unusual that the products were so cheap? It seems as if that website has tons of different lightening products from different companies. Have you used any of the other products from that website?Why did you avoid the lotion? Do you know of the ingredients or if they results are permanent? Thanks so much! Sorry for asking so many questions. I'm just really excited about this.
  • Nov 11, 2006, 07:54 PM

    Well the products are not actually cheap... because I'm ordering from africa so the money was transferred into america dollar so it seems cheap but people who live in that particular country find a little expensive... I avioded the lotion because at first it made me darker... then I got lighter... so that's my personal reason why I avoided it... I used a lot of other products ( only on my face thou) before bio claire but they were dangeorous because of side affects... but I chose bio claire because its 100% safe... u can find the products else where as but not for the same price as ordering it from africa... they don't use dollars in africa so you change your countries money into dollars... for example when I went over seas it cost me 25 dinar (sudanese money) when I transfer that into dollars it would make $4.05... hope you got what I mean.

    unpredictable I'm going to order this product I just have some question.


    1. so does this stuff really works?

    2. do you have to mix the bio claire cream and oil together to get good result
    ?


    The body is harder to lighten cause the skin is thicker I use hydroquinone cause I don't know what else to use that works... I put hydroquinone cream on my face and it does lightens your skin but it doesn't really work on my body at all. If this bio claire is guarantee to work I will start using this product and not use hydroquinone again specially when I can get bio claire so cheap and it works..

    If this product work I will definitely post my result on here if it doesn't work I will let everyone know this product is crap...
  • Nov 11, 2006, 09:56 PM
    unpredictable
    Because apparently the oil is too strong so that's why you mix it with the crème... thats how I used... you should lighten within 2 weeks but allow at least one month... use it 3 times a day the first week... then twice a day continuesly then after 1 month exactly if you don't see any results then stop! But it should really work because I doubted the person who suggested I use it... and now I'm so much light... if it was possible I would post photos of me before and after using bio claire alone... I was as dark like really dark.. darker then chris rock now I have toni braxton and halle berry complexion! Good luck!
