    Hi Liyah, hydroquionone is niet voor niets verboden in Nederland, is immers levens gevaarlijk spul... niet doen dus. Hetzelfde ( of zelfs veel beter ) effect krijg je van b.v van kojic acid ( papayazeep ) of Bioclaire. En trouwens zelf in de VS wordt aangeraden maar 2% HQ te gebruiken en zeker geen 10, check de Diana Stalder producten deze zijn veel veiliger en beter, HQ werkt na een poos met terug-werkende-kracht en een veel voorkomend na-effect is that je huid en teveel aan pigment gaat aanmaken... dus that je veel donkerder kan worden... mazzel.

    Hello,
    All you out there with evidently extreme poor self esteem should know that these chemicals you pile on your bodies in the name of bleaching creams may send you to the grave sooner. Please consult a dermatologist before you kill yourself slowly. Most of these chemicals are metabolised in the liver and kidney, and in the long run could affect DNA synthesis, alter your cellular structure and ultimately lead to cancerous growths. Be warned! Love the skin you are in. Your colour is genetically programed and no matter what you use, as soon as you stop it, you will become worse off than when you started. These creams, pills, treatments do no work! This is a form of slow suicide, you are not helping yourself. Be a proud dark-skinned woman. How many white women want to take pills and creams to become dark? Michael Jackson will have a reason to laugh at you and he is richer.

    I use melanex 3% hydroquinione (prescribed) on my face for over 12 years. However I do not over do it. If anything I use it 4-5 times a month and leave it at that. My skin lightened about 2 shades. Its about 1 shad lighter than under my arm pit. Unfortunately I can't get it in Mexico or Canada as they only have 4% and I don't like it because it will make me break out.

    Now as for the over the counter 2% I imagine their safe, just not as strong so the level of effect is lesser. Kojic Acid & Licorice acids are other substitutes used for brigtening skin. Im sure a lot of those unique lables have these 2 products.

    Last weekend I was at the LA Convention Center for the Bridal expo Next to it was the Phillipino expo, I heard about enlighten skin ligtening pills. I was amazed to ever hear about it. I am impressed to go to Google and find a lot of web sites and YouTube to find tons of videos.

    However Im concerned:
    1) Why isn't it FDA Approved in America?
    2) Wny is it that the doctor that prescribed this melanex to me never told me about it?
    3) Why is it that a dermatologist never told me about it?
    4) Why is it that its based from the Philipeans?
    5) Why can't one mail order ?

    I found the enlighten website and the person I was going to buy from was unique character. For starters he would not give me a street address to his office/store to purchase the Enlighten the Glutathione pills.

    Now here's the real kicker: I got to a good source for presciptioins: CANADA pharmacy online and it shows glutathione is a dog medication! Yes - WOOF WOOF WOOF! Canada Pharmacy: Denosyl SD4 product information and side effects

    I have visited Tijuna BC Mexico serveral times and have asked many times what they have to lighten skin. NO one ever said to me that pills exist. And trust me, TJ is a pharmacy community as many americans cross the border to save money. In fact many pharmacys are 24/7. I just wonder why they never said anything about Glutathione?

    So now my question is this stuff legit? Why is it so covert? I went to some website from the philipeeans and notice that their salons offer "skin whitening services." for all purposes they could be using kojic acid along with licorice. I wonder how tyra and all these models lighten up from head to toe. Sure stay out of the sun, make up and ligthting will do the trick. But I do believe there's more to it.

    As for Michael Jackson, I think he may have done a fenal peel which is now illegal to do. That was a peel that was used to remove the fine lines that a face lift couldn't remove. However, mostly old ladies would get it done and that's why they all looked like ghosts - ala Michael.

    Im just wondering if these pills really work and if they do why is it the medical commjnity hasn't gotten on top of it?

    Hello. I thought the highest was 4% unless it's a special compound made at the doctors office? Was that something you bought at the pharmacy? If so - what brand and what pharmacy? I use by prescription melanex 3% LIQUID (NOT CREME) by prescription made my Neutrogina and it comes in generic brand as well.

    Hey, I'm a person like you guys all trying to make my skin better.
    I've noticed you guys using a lot of pills and what not in an attempt to make your skin lighter perhaps back to the colour it originally was at.

    I'm not a doctor but from many reviews and comments I have found this product to be the best.

    Skin peel 4000

    Skin peel 4000 is a chemical peel used to send your face back to the colour it was originally at.

    For more information on this product visite Skin Peels and Peeling Treatments for Wrinkles, Acne Scarring & Blemishes

    Hi Samala, you are right , I think people should stop waisting money on creams and pills and go for laser or chemical treatments and peels, I have decided to go that route as well, and it is permanent.

    Hello Zagadai, Lotti & yellowgal85. Do you already have answers to your questions on skin lightening? I'm using Shiseido Pure White Glutathione pills from Japan. They're effective but expensive. My friend ordered it from Japan and I got most of the bulk of her orders since she is leaving for the U.S. next month and will be there for 6 months.

    Hello BlackLace,
    Could tell me how can I order Shiseido Pure White Glutathione pills? For how long have you been on those pills? And did you get any results?

    Thanks in advance.

    Im all for peels. Ive had 2 TCA peels and love the results. It clears your skin and above all evens the tone. It won't lighten, but it will brighten and give you a flawless complexion.

    The only downside is the downtime - for a whole week you'll look like Freddy Crugar in Nightmare on Elm Street as your face will look like it was in fire.

    Other peels are a little superficial. But they are all right. Im OK with buying a product called a peel, but a true peel should be given by a doctor (such as a TCA.) A strong peel should have 2 people present especially when applying around the eye as that can burn you or blind you if your not careful.

    Do not waste your money on the Obaggi Blue Peel. It was the biggest rip offthat I wasted my money.

    Now there is a peel that was banned about 10 years ago that was called the Fenal peel. I heard that the peel stripped color. This is the peel a lot of older ladies got after a facelift to remove crows feet and all those lines. But they were pale as ghosts. I tink this is the peel Michael Jackson.

    Laser: be super careful and make sure you know and rsearch the make/model / type used. There are too many people out there that will sell you anything to make money.

    I do recommend Laser Genesis for resurfacing the skin, Cuter Cool Glide for hair removal and Cutera Titan. I have been very active with laser hair removal and am pleased. However it didn't start that way. I have been victimized with IPL used for laser hair removal. Though it will work - the results take forever. But its very good for tightening the poors.

    Finally, I received a great answer regarding the pills. I was told that though it can work, there are many frauds on the market. My gripe about these pills is that no doctor will back his name onto it. After all, medicine is a business and Im sure there would be a doctor out there that would love to capitolize on it. I do have challenges with these pills available outside North America as well as sold only online or through hair salons. Why aren't doctors in the USA and Canada recommending these pills to patients? Why isn't a doctor one make the money from it? There is a strong market for it. Im a bit suspicious.

    Hi Anisa,

    I've been on these pills for about 2 weeks now but my friends have been using them for quite some time. These pills come from Japan with their original packaging in Japanese but I'm told that you have to take at least 3-4 tablets a day.

    I got my friend"s stock of PureWhite pills since she's leaving for the US next month and won't be able to sell them in a short span of time. They cost P5,500/bot. for 270 pills. At the rate of 3 pills a day that's already a supply for 3 months or individually about P20.00/pill.

    I heard that this is what some of the actresses in the Philippines use. But I cannot vouch for that one except that I rely on what I've seen from my friends. I haven't lightened yet but my skintone has started to even out.

    Sincerely BlackLace

    Where do you order your super-skin-whitening-pills, and the other products that you use to lighten your skin. I ordered the pills one from Kuzami from superwhiteningpills.net, but I been reading this forum and other forum, and so far I found out that it is a fake or no good. I just noticed that the site is not secure, and the only way you can contact the person is through e-mail or instant messages. Kuzami just wants to make quick money that's all. I threw it since I'm afraid to take it. It is too bad that it is too late and I can't return this. I wasted my money, and it is my biggest mistake. I could have used that money to buy me a pair of nice shoes. Anyway, does anyone else you know use the product that you use to lighten skin? Do you have before and after picture? If it is effective to a lot of people beside yourself, please send me more info.

    Salaam Eoo7, I'm sorry to hear about your results, the thing about Kazumi is that funny enough the pills did work for me... but I've found something out. The high dossage off viamine C one has to take with these pills are in fact enough to lighten ones skin. Specially vitamine C with rosehip, this is a mayor melanin reducer... so? I don't know for a fact if Kazumi is a faker or not but these days you can buy L-Glutathione in any good Healt or fitness shop. If you combine that with vitamine C (Rosehip included) you'll get the same result.

    Do not forget the importance of external care for better result one should use a good cream ( Lancaster Infinte white) I've got good results using them. BUT I now found something witch I think is the best product for skin lighting.It's a great product and secret used in the Asian and Arab world for a long time.Been using it for a month and I have to say it's amazing. I've stopped with every thing else... yes even my precious pills... If you would like to know send a message to my profile and I'll give you the link.The reason is that I'm not promoting anyone or any product so...

    About placing my picture... don't think so sorry I'm a very private person.I'm happy to share my results on this forum but I'll not give away pics to anyone.Hope that you can understand that.
    Goodluck...

    halflatin,
    Why ask canadian pharmacy? You should ask American pharmacy. Anyhow, L-Glutathione is not a dog medication: you are misinformed. Please provide more information and sources to back up your claim. Canadian pharmacy isn't enough to say that it is a dog medication. For your information, medication coming from Mexico isn't safe since it is coming from a third world country. It is cheap because it isn't regulated. Would you trust to get a face lift or breast implant from a third world country? Back to the subject: L Glutathione is POTENT DETOXIFIER, ANTIOXIDANT, & IMMUNE BOOSTER. Believe me, I been doing my research on this, and I don't think it is a dog medication. Why does a dog need this for anyway? Anyhow, if dogs do take it, remember most medication are tested on animals first anyway. If it is good for them, then it must be good for us as well.

    Hi everybody... I'm using gluta5oomg for 3 months now. It works for me swear.. I love d result it makes my skin more clear, fine and whiter than before. Even my friends notice it. I want to share my experience and ideas to u, hope it will help you guys... as what I know gluthathion is not harmful to the body, it is an antioxidant involved in many cellular function such as detoxication. Here's some explanation fr a very reliable source(Dermatologist) sorry I can't mention her name. "although glutathion has quickly gained a reputation as a skin whitener, it is also a powerful antioxidant found in almost all living cells in tha body. The intake of this free radical scavenger allegedly has numerous benefits as an immune booster, to treat nerve and liver disease, and to fight cancer as well. It has also been recommended as a health and anti aging supplement. And yes, she adds Glutathion can also lighten the skin by inhibiting the function and activity of tyrosinase, which plays an important role in melanin production. Melanin the dark pigment responsible for the tanning or darkening of the skin when exposed to sunlight. The skin lightening effect in glutathion comes about when the skin produces the yellowish pheomelanin instead of the browning eumelanin, Patient notice skin lightening anywhere from the fourth month with oral supplement. like other medication glutathion is contraindicated for those who are hypersensitivity or allergic to any component of the product and should be avoided by those who are pregnant or lactating and those who have undergone organ transplant. Glutathion is relatively safe and there have been no reports of adverse reaction even with long term use, nor have there been reports of overdose.... Those who nurture hopes of turning Caucasian white or Who desire faster result may opt for intravenous administration of glutathion, but, she cautions not all doctors are convinced of the safety profile of this particular route of administration, she adds" hope you learn something from this. Its up for you to decide. Bye...

    Don't fall for skinbleaching.net. I placed an order for their pills. They never sent me the goods. They kept on lying to me saying that they are just about to dispatch my order. They promised a refund if they can't deliver on time. At the end, when I finally asked for a refund, they stopped replying to my mails. They are the most unprofessional business I have ever come across. They stole money from me. Don't waste your money ordering any of their products.

I wondered why and did a search and found out L-Glutathione is also used by bodybuilders and tanning babes that want to darken their skin tone. So glutathione feeds the phaeomelanin process, but does not interfere with melanin. That means if you are white or japanese asian type of fair skin, glutathione helps you look brighter color. But if you are naturally dark skin, glutathione is just doing adding some light color onto the palette, not reducing the dark pigment.

    The only pills that I have heard that truly works to bleach your skin is the antibiotic Fowl Pill from Jamaica, and the huge steroid pill from Africa. People from all over the world go to Africa just to buy that pill. They work but shutting down the bodies production of melanin.

    I have been considering ingesting small amount of pure benzyl-arbutin to see if it has a lightening effect on the skin, hair, and eyes. I always wanted lighter eyes too, and contact lenses look fake!


    I would take caution in ingesting anything with anytype of arbutin as arbutin has shown in studies to convert into hydroquinone in the liver... in fact be careful ingesting ANY chemical compound... many steroids have been linked to thinning of the skin and scarring, darkening (Blackening) of the skin... food for thought... if you can only get the substance in Africa or Jamaica/ any other country than Europe or America... it may be very dangerous and unregulated... and don't get me wrong... I'm not trying to down other countries... I'm from the Caribbean... however being from the Caribbean, I also know many people with horror stories of mercury ladden and steroid creams, serums, concoctions, and powders... be very careful... consult a dermatologist maybe... and research thouroughly on your own... some of these things can kill, disfigure, or make you very ill...

    Hi sweet carioline sorry if I have spelt your name wrong

    I thought the fowl pill was used for gaining weight rapidly that's why the jamacian government banned it due to its bad side effects. I wanted to use it but they are now banned in jamacia.

    I didn't know that the fowl could lighten your skin. What is this pill in afrcia called and how can I get? Are these there only pills that can lighten my skin . I'm black female like yourself and understand. If you can help me let me know

    Might I add also... I have yet to really hear of anyone with actual dramatic results using pills... I have seen people with fairer coplexions such as asians with a kind of sallow or olive complexion lighten... or better said... brighten... but not too much as far as darer complexions... and strangely enough they only seem to work on that type of complexion... even evry light people I know had very little effect in changing skin tone... but I'm no expert... I don't know every type of pill out there... I can just basically tell you that most pills are just a load of junk that someone os trying to scam you with... beware of sites and companies trying to sell you miracles or dreams... usually it is just tjat... someone selling you something... Are most of you aware of the old image of the travelling salesman selling miracle potions and concoctions on the side of the road from yester year?. well the new band wagon rebirth of this is now found in the tons of skin lightening products... most are made by people exploiting insecurities in people of color... very few work... most are dangerous... and all are expensive... don't let your desire for a miracle sell you short...

    I have heard positives and negatives about skin whitening pills and I'm still not sure whether they are worth the buy with everyone saying bio-claire is the way to go... We all have seen oprah winfrey lighten up over the years so there must be something out there. Are there any other people of darker complexion who have tried skin lightening pills and had any significant results? Also gold, I would love to hear how your progress is coming along with bio-claire... its been exciting hearing about your improvements from month to month.

    Thank you... Glad you took notice of my progress.. I been using bio claire for almost a year now... December will make a year... My result has been good.. but as you know when I first started using bio claire I saw no result at all it took a long time to work on me.. someone told me to be patience a little longer and it will work... glad I listen cause I started seeing result... my skin became light brown skin.. I been having problem lightening my feets and hands evenly but every where else lighten evenly my body lighten very well and legs butt and knee caps lighten really good when I didn't think my knee caps will lighten up that much. My legs has gotten a shade darker for some strange reason cause I have not stop using bio claire so I am mixing the oil and cream together again.. my legs are starting to lighten back up again... I see it works differently than hydroquinone cause hydropquinone will keep your skin light with continues use. Bio claire is a good product but takes longer to work on some people...

    I am thinking of trying other products in the near future but bio claire is a definite keeper...

    I'm new here and found this site in my search for skin lighting products. I have Gabrielle Union skin color and would like to whiten around 2 to 3 shades. I'm happy that Bio claire seems to work. I now want to order the oil, cream and lotion. A previous poster said she mixed them together and got faster results so I will try that too. From previous posts, it seems I should wait till my body lightens before applying to my face.

    I still though have some questions about Bio claire. Is there any side effects (besides the peeling, itching and dryness) like making my skin (mainly face) break out, weight gain, or making my face more oily (I already have very oily skin)? Will it also make my scars less noticeable? Will there be a time when I will have noticebly splotched and uneven skin from diff parts not lighting together? I really don't want splotched skin. Also, will it actually go as far as to lighten my skin 2 to 3 shades? Will it succed in making my skin even toned all over after the lighting process has started?

Ok listen to this I´m am of mixed raced ( arab / hindi ) my complexion is light to normal brown. However I was kinda darker in my face, so a friend of mine adviced me to used Glutathione 1000 mg mixed with Vitamine C with Rosehip. Been taking the pills and not missing one, first my hands started lighting up and than my feet and finnaly my body and face. I´ve gone from a brown tan to an nice glowing , rosie whiter complexion. And yes my dark spots are gone...but be carefull is you are a smoker the vitamine C will not be obsorbe by your systeem. When going out in the sun use an good sun block ( mine is from Biotherme ) Also its smart to use a external creme, use an offical blend. The best one on the market right now is from Lancaster from the Infinite white line ( this includes a cleanser, day and night creme and is the the best xsp for Asian skin. I´m sorry to say that not every one is a canidate for these pills is you are to dark and have thick skin it will not work for you. And PS don´t listen to every one on this board there some very backward people wrighting lots of stupid stuff...anyway good luck and yes a fairer skin tone is very important these days. I should know this working in the fashion branche..so go a head an update yourself if you can but do it save, damaged to your skin is useally permanent all the reason for you to be very selective with this biggest organ of yours....NT my pills came from Kazumi ( superwhiteningpills.net)...God bless.

    Where can I buy the "Lancaster from the Infinite white line"? I am in the US, and could not find it on the internet.

    In conjunction with applying those lightening cremes on the face to curb breakouts, I recommend face basics such as

    1) WAsh your face before going to bed and the moment you wake up.
    2) When washing use good mild cleanser (not soap.)
    3) Use white wash cloths as you can't put clorox on color towels. To kill bacteria its to have sanitary cloths.
    4) Use witch hazel after washing (prior to applying lightening products.) This close pores up and prevent bacteria.
    5) Careful with Sunblock on face. I recommend a sunblock that is for BABIES - Sensitive skin. Do note, there is a differnece between sunscreen and sunblock. Sunscreen won't prvent you from darkening. There are some sunblocks that too won't prevent you from tanning. I personally love Palmers Anti Darkening Sun block. Another sunblock that is excellent is a liquid sunblock called SHADE. Its alcohol base without the greese.


    I recommend a gel by Peter Thomas Roth - Potent Skin Lightening Gel. Its avaialbe at Sephora. It has 2% hydroquinione, kojic acid, bearberry, mulberry, vitamin C, Saliciylic Acid. I personally like this product because of the Saliciylic Acid (acne fighter.) So I think using a product in the morning and then rotate to this product before bed is excellent to lighten up as any bacteria will be curbed with the Saliciylic Acid.

    Hi Saijaz,

    The product is called Lancaster and the new line is called Infinte white,I do believe their known is the US. But you can also try to look for the new L'Oreal line also for skin whitening.Lancaster is a product from Monacco witch is very effective but also very exspensive... but they do what they promise.

    Salam Muna,

    The vitamine C I use contains Rosehips 1000 mg. I started with L-Glutathione 2000 mg combined with Vit C 4000 mg ( dailly dossage) and saw very good result. Your skin start glowing and getting clearer from the inside out.After about three mounths got 4 to 5 shades lighter. But I also must honesly confest something... a while ago I've ran out of pills and ordered them a bit late so I had to wait. However I continuted taking my Vitamine C with Rosehip to my surprise it seems that vitamine C (with the rosehip) by it self is all ready a mayor skin whitener.

    I also use Kojic and Licorice soaps once every week for exfloting (very important in skin whitening ) and am also a member off a skinwhitening forum of the lady who ownes this site. See is a pro with lots off knowledge concerning skin whitening. As is it seems Vitamine C is a very strong Melanin inhabetor, thus a mayor lightner of the skin... So I'm not so sure about L-Glutathione anymore. But still it does the job and is also very good for ones health.

    The Lancaster products are well known and made in Monnaco main ingr. Are Kojic and licorice.Any good beauty center is selling these products for men there is also the new l'Oreal line. These are all exspensive but safe products and the do deliver what they promise.( Lancaster Group
