    Where can I purchase some metathione whitening pills or are you selling any? Do you know of any local drug stores that might sell these pills over the counter?

    The glutathione pills that hbc is selling comes in a 30 caps package so overall cost is still higher than the Dr James I am taking since the bottle contains 60 caps. Something to update you guys. I have experimented on withdrawing glutathione for a month. Although I have not darkened to my previous state, you do slowly go back to your color once it is not taken for long periods. This is quite high maintenance for the average worker. But, nevertheless, it is worth every penny. The sun exposure, the humidity... your body just couldn't fight it alone. So, it might be wise to taper it off to low dose once you have lightened to minimize the costs.

    What's the difference between whitening/lightening soaps and bleaching soaps? Also, what are the best brands of bleaching soaps out there?

    Guys.. Give it a BREAK!
    Whitening pills don't work, or at least this is what I think based on my own experience. I've given up!

    Hi Dimples!
    You are absolutely right! Im actually just taking 1 cap of Lucida and 1000mg of vit. C now, but not religiously I'm afraid. LOL! I tend to forget, I sometimes would skip 2 days.. damn, but my skin is getting so clear DImps. I guess, just 1 cap is enough... for me of course. And it's very expensive, I sold a couple to a friend, after seeing me in a party and notice the glow on my skin. And this is the first winter EVER that I didn't get sick AT ALL!! I would usually get sick like 3-4 times the whole winter season would you believe that.. that's the Vit. C baby!!
    Hope all is well with you and your Gluta. Are you still taking them?:)

    My current complexion is caramel.. I do not want to get any lighter than that. Some days when I get up in the morning I look in the mirror and say I better slow down on using this stuff it's making me look too white looking. Right now I'm just trying to lighten the rest of my body to match my face.. I'm going to try the hypercreme which someone here recommend me to try to lighten the body. I'm still taking my glutathione it seem to make the skin creams work better I plan to take the glutathinone until June

    Good day! Zagadai!

    I read your sentiments about skin whitening... Have you tried consulting a dermatologist before using those pills and medications? Sometimes it may have side and bad effects unto the skin which causes your skin to be more darker or happens not to cause any changes. We have different skin types and as far as I know you might probably haven't bumped into the medication that is compatible for your skin. I personally use soap and lotion just for maintenance. They say that if you really have a fair complexion it's much easier to bring out the "whiteness" in you. By the way, from what is your age range? It also depends on that if the effect would still be visible or not. But I believe through enough patience and research you would achieve the results you wanted. Nothing is impossible now adays with the technology we have and so far I have friends who used to be dark but their skin lightened a bit. I'am just so lucky because I have a chinese blood so I can say I have white skin. By the way, try also to drink lotsa tea. It cleanses too!

    My experience with glutathione is very good. I used to have very uneven skin especially on the elbows, knees, nape, etc. It sucks! Since I have been using glutathione, my skin has become very glowing & even. Especially the elbows. No more rough spots there! It may not be the best whitening product in the market but I think it does work well with whitening soaps & lotions. Bottom line, I think it is a good additional to your beauty regimen especially those with skin problems.

    Thanks for the valuable information Dimples. This will encourage more to make use of Glutathione. Can I include your comment in my upcoming website? Please give me your real name and location and if possible e-mail for those who may ask further inquiries from you.

    As for me, I do really recommend Glutathione not only for skin conditioning but more for health and total well being improvement and body maintenance. Because this substance is anti-oxidant. Most diseases are borne out of accumulated toxins in our body.

    While we are young we produce natural glutathione in our bodies to fight toxins, but as we grow old, this ability to reproduce diminish and that's when the aging process sets in... Our skin grows darker, wrinkled, various ailments starts to bother us.

    But thanks to Glutathione, derived from Asparagus, Brocolli, etc.. we can now have it in capsule form. It cleanses our liver, gets rid of the toxins, prevents ailments related to aging such as arthritis, parkinsons, alzheimer. It also fights cancer and prevents it in general.
