Shorty00 maybe bio claire working for you but my result is not here yet..... im using the cream every single day 2 times a day...

Hi Gold3509,
This question is for you (and everyone else you can answer it ). Forgive me if it has been previously covered - as this thread is quite long. Have you used any of the pills from skinbleaching.net i.e, 'swiss turbo pills' (which apparently yeilds results in 10 days) or 'pearl whitening tablets'? And I've just seen that there is also a 'magical facial mask' that produces instant whitening in 30mins, hmmm??
They claim that all the ingredients are 100% natural and scientifically documented. Has anyone used their products and what were the results?
By the way I also went out and bought the Bio Claire products last month after reading Unpredictable's post and although I haven't followed the regime sttrictly, I do have some reservations about it too. Well I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks

Hello,

Last month I was thinking about ordering Dr James glutathione pills and godiva brightening set, which I did.

I thought I'd share my experience:

My orders came faster than expected (within 10 days), and I couldn't start using the pills yet until the beginning of this month as I haven't found a cheap brand of Vitamin C yet. At the moment I'm using Ultra-Hi Vit C 2000 mg Time release of Country life.

My weight is 50 kg, the first 10 days or so, I took 1000 mg of glutathione together with 2000 mg vit C (occasionally 1000 mg because I didn't have time to go to the drugstore for vit c). And today I'd increased my dose to 2000mg glutathione with 4000mg vit C.

I found that the Godiva product are too harsh for my face (it makes my skin extremely dry and painful) so I only use the soap for my body, and the lotion/cream only on my neck, back and underarms (which are the darkest areas I want to lighten or even out).

Unfortunately the godiva products I used (only on my body, not face) don't have any effect on my skin tone yet. My face however seem to be much more radiant and smoother, and since a couple of days I saw that my cheeks (and only my cheeks :p ) have become noticeable paler and rosier.
And because I haven't use any godiva products on my face, I can only think that it is the glutathione that has lighten my cheeks.
I hope to see the results soon on my whole body.

Greetings

Vigrig

Hi Vigrig,
I'm a new member here. This is my first post. I would like to ask you about Glutathione pills. I had ordered Dr. J. Mayer capsules and waiting for them. My weight is 52 kg and would like to be your penpal on trying this pills if you don't mind.

I'm from middle east ( from the Gulf ). I would like to know your color complexion before using the pills. I'm not dark but would like to be more fairer and rosier. I hope you get me. My English is not that good.

Waiting for your reply. Have a nice day.

Hello Anisa,

Thanks for your reply. I'd be great if we could share our experiences about these pills because at the moment I don't know anyone following this regime either.:) Maybe we can keep contact through this forum, or via pm?

I'm south-east asian, and I already have a light yellow skintone before using the pills, like this:
http://www.mobime.ru/var/news/2006/05/19/11.jpg
Only I'd like my skin to be a bit paler and rosier, and also, my skin is uneven (my back, armpit and neck is noticeably darker then my face and legs etc... )

Until now, not many changes happened except for the blush I have (but that also could be a result of the wind and cold weather :rolleyes: , because I think you must be taking them for at least 4 weeks to see results.

I don't mind about your english at all, as my english is not that good either hehe.

Have a nice day as well!

Greetings

Vigrig

Has anyone ever heard of anykind of skin whitening or litening even bleaching pills on market.
or any kind of pills that real work ,i mean REAL work an were made specifically for skin lightening ,bleaching watever not things like diet or crap like that.
i mean have done lots of researchs but they have been fruitless.
anyone ready to help me out .
thanks , :p

I heard Michael jackson fooled around with those things. He looked okay during the days when he sang that song... what was it called. From the album "bad" or something like that. Anyway, the way he looks now could have been the chemicals running wild. He says he has vitaligo. I wonder if that is just the catch all term for blotched skin. Apparently he wears more white makeup because it is easier to go with the majority of his new pigment.

Well, chemicals can run wild but you can also control them.
The fact is once you start bleaching it's to u're own discretion how far you want to go, and maintain the level you desire, but I guess Michael didn't see it coming and so didb't know when to stop bleaching and start maintaining.
I think Michael was great with the complexion that he had when he released the album, "THRILLER" but I guess no one told him... lol..

Hello Vigrig,

Ok it's a deal. But what is pm??

I've used those glutathione pills since a month ( it was called Silk & Dove ) but at when I was running out of them and my order didn't come I reduced my dosage to 500 mg. The last pill I will take it today and tomorrow is a holiday, so I've to wait till Sunday and see if my order will come or not. I already feel some changes in my skin but no obvious results.
I've the same problem areas as you. I also started using a cream since yesterday at night. It's called Sheep Placenta Cream, I got from a Philippine website.

My skintone is almost like the picture you've posted. I want to ask if you take the pills before meal or after? I take them before meal by 30 min.

I'll let you know when I get my order and start taking the pills again.

Have a nice day ahead.

Hi yeah I use the pills for 4 months with no result and I follow the regime faithfully 3,000 glu and 6,000 vitamins C a day No result waste of my money. I got my pills from here Prismmedical.com Glutathione Products

I can finally say I am noticing the color on my arms are starting to change a little using bio-claire but notice too obvious yet. There is a slight change I notice today on me. It taking longer than I expected I will continue using bio-claire for another month to give this bio- claire a chance.

Go "Gold3509" , I am so watching this site for u're result, U're the only true witness I got... lol... go girl.

Your welcome! I will keep everyone posted...

It's a nice coincidence that our skintone is alike, and that we both started to take the pills almost on the same period as well! Hopefully we may see result soon! But if it doesn't, then at least I made my liver healthier hehe.

I also take my pills 30 minutes before a meal. Placenta cream? I never heard of such cream yet, does is contain hydroquin? And does it work well? Neither way, I won't start buying any other creams until the godiva products is used.
When I ordered my Dr james pills, I also got freebies: 2 bar of kojic acid soap. I think I'll try these together with the Godiva lotion for a change.
I also wonder whether it is a good idea to increase my dose from 2000mg+4000 mg vit c, to 3000mg+6000 mg vit C. Which is 60mg/kg glutathione, instead of 20-40mg/kg.

Yes, do inquire me if you start using the pills again, if you like.:)

Greetings,

Vigrig

Hi 'Gold3509' thanks 4 yr answer (& u 2 'Vigrig'). I've also decided to give Bio Claire a proper go as I am very sceptical of all these pills (they seem to work better 4 people with fairer complextion - I am a black girl!). I now use the soap daily in the morning with the oil & cream (4 d entire body). After exfoliating & cleansing my face at night, I apply the oil & cream again so hopefully it will work, I'll also keep you posted.

Your welcome Susan1

Hi Vigrig,

I'm back on pills again :-) I got my order today. I'll let you informed with my latest news.

About increasing the dosage, I don't advice you to. Better stay on the limit so nothing wrong happen to you. I also heard that the excess glutathione will be taken out of the body through the urine, in which case you will be just wasting your pills.

About the Placenta cream I just started using it last Wed, so I don't see any result yet. It's a Chinese cream and I got it from a Philippine website. It's originally for removing scars. I'm using it for my whole body and my face but mixing it with baby oil. I feel my body softer, but is seems it didn't fit my face. I might stop using it since I felt that my face become oilier even when using the cream alone. I also knew lately that there are day & night creams. So I might order those in the future I this one works well on my body.

See you soon :-)

Here are the info I got from the seller about Placenta cream:

Sheep Placenta Cream is a product that is
Used throughout Asia to greatly accelerate the healing process and to reduce the process of scar formation.

Used for years by only by models and the rich it is now available to everyone that knows where to find this difficult to find product.

Sheep Placenta Cream contains
Pure natural living cell sheep placenta extremely rich in growth and healing nutrition.

Sheep placenta!! Please avoid that suff, yeah really do u're reserch... it is not worth it in the long run.

Is anybody experiencing what I am experiencing with BIO-CLAIRE? My skin has become very dry and icthy but it is starting to lighten up

Hey! I just wanted to let everyone know that Bio Claire does work! My friends that I haven't seen are noticing the change as well as I can see it too. Yah my skin got dry but I'm used to that lol. And make sure you wash your hands after you use it, it will irritate your palms in the long run. Yeah its good stuff I'm going to stop using it now because Im happy with my shade now. Does anyone know how to maintain the lightening other than wearing sun screen, because I don't want to do that for the rest of my life.

Ya! I experienced that too!

If it makes u're skin dry and itchy, then thatsa warning that it's getting deeper into u're epidermis and that alone is harmful enough, a godd skin whitening cream does not itch, but lightens u're skin smoothly, it might get dried up a little bit but u can add some babyoil or vaseline to it.

Shorty00 thanks for your respond to my question.. since you gotten good result. Are you saying people noticing your face or your body cause I got the bio- claire cream to use it on my body not my face cause I already achieve a complexion on my face that I am satisfy with I just had problem lighten my body.. so that's when I decided to gives this bio-claire a try...

Do you use bio-claire on your face and body? I also guess bio- claire work differently on different people cause bio- claire working very slow on me. But I am seeing some ligtening starting on me. I just don't like the dryness that accords..

I started a degree in Nutrtition last year, and discintly remember my lecturer telling me how taking vitamin tablets is NOT as affective as one might think when trying to get more vitamins into your body...

You may think you are taking these high doses of vitamin C (ei 500mg +) , but in reality very little of that is aborbed by the GI (gatro-intestine) tract, this is where all small 'food' molecules, vitamins, and water is aborbed by the lining of your guts.

Also I have reaseached about Glutathione (sorry if spelt wrong), if you look at what the experts say, they say that the body doesn't actually absorb much Glutathoine when taken in tablet/oral form...

Also when you are buying these tablets... you ARE being ripped off! Look for cost per 1mg when buying them... it seems like the places selling glutathione as 'whitening products' are selling them for extorsionant prices in comprasion to health food stores... RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH people!!

As a consumer you must be VERY warrey of people selling products to you!!

Do bio claire cream and oil cause acne? Or make the skin oily? Can it be use on the face? My face is oily and it has blackheads so I don't want to make it more worst!

Please let me know!
Thanks!

The usual complaints of users are they get pimples and they get fat, also tenderness and pains on the breast.

Ive never head that about bioclair, I was using it and it didn't do anything to me.. It worked just fine. I donno why you are giving negative misconceptions about it.

The reply was for the sheep placenta cream, and besides bioclare isn't that effective anyway, it lightens for a while and stops then you become dark again even with continue usage which then suggest you have to move on to something much stronger than bioclare,. yes it's the bleaching industry scam and unfortunatelly that's the way it is... Right now I am experimenting on something else and When I am done I will let people in this forum knows and I usually give between 4-6 months on any product to draw conclusion.

It's a good sign... cause my skin is smooth now and lighter... bio-claire may affect everybody differently... it just dry up the top layer of my skin smoother and lighter skin is underneath

Oh I stopped using it a week ago, because it made my skin darker and dryer, but I am using something else now, and I am giving it 2 weeks to see if it's real or not... but I'll keep you posted.

Hi gold3509 I have been wacthing your progress with the bi oil I am gald you have seen results. You said that the skin on your arm was very dry and when you took a shower it peeled of and reveled lighter skin.

Wow that's great now did the lightening just on your arm or is all over you body? Sorry for all the questions but I did the bi oil to but gave up because I didn't get much results but if you got the results in 4 weeks well I am willing to give it another try. Did use also use the bi oil soap? Thank you for your help:D :D :D

Even my hands were lighter thsn my arms and I nevr put it on my arms and now my arms are a shade lighter than my hands. You and I remembered starting using it when you did goold3509!

Yeah that's the same with me the back part of my arms always was lighter than the front side of my arms now they are becoming the same color all around... Shorty00 you mention using the bio-claire lotion on your body. If the lotion works better on the body I'm going to buy the lotion instead cause I been using the bio- claire cream in jar on my body maybe that's why it been taking longer to work on me.

HI
Has anyone heard of or used G&G skin lightening cream, its made by the same company that makes bio claire except this cream has sunscreen and kojic acid, I want to switch from bio claire to this cream, anyone know anything about it!?

I use both the oil and cream I mixed it together but shorty00 said she just used the lotion on her body without mixing it and got lighter. I just really notice my arms gotten lighter.. not my legs.. I want my legs and arms buttock lighter cause my face is lighter than my whole body right now... oh my chest is the same color as my face my chest is fine my stomach could use a lightening also... but since I'm seeing result on my arms I'm going to stick with bio- claire for a little while longer before I switch to something else... bio-claire working on me but very slow... this is the first time I got my arms to lighten up never could before. Cause I got my face to lighten up using hydroquinone I used it on my body it did nothing for my body hydroquinone refuse to lighten my body only worked on my face... I'm just glad bio-claire working on my arms...

Ya it works just fine but I need infoto maintain the colour. And you know what's ironicc when we went back to the store after alll the searching they not have the imfamous bioclaire oil lol.. anyway if you look @ the bioclaire website G & G is made by the same company as bio claire I wonder if it is better.. it has sun screan in it.

Hi gold3509 thanks for your answer. I am in two minds at the moment as I have already purchased alpha arbutin lightening cream which is suppose to be stronger than hydroquine. I am waiting delivery from eBay. I just want my face to macth my body. My skin on my fac is light but my rest of my body is so black. When I go out t a club I am so conscious as my face is light and then my back and arms is really black. I will keep you posted on progress if its s*** then I will bio claire oil again:) :)
