    Hey lotti. I'm going to order off ganda. They're the only one's with "Active white" so I'm going to go with them. But I've got a question for you, when it comes to ordering the pills, and they send you to something called "Zoom", how do you order from there.. When they ask about the country, do you say the phillipiens.. or the country I'm from... I've never used "zoom" so I'm not sure if they're asking if I send to or from..? Please get back to me ASAP. Thanks.

    Skinwhite, they actually do look like dark pantyhose. At first I thought one was blk and the other white

    … geeez what some people would do for money!

    And yes, please do inform us about what your dermatologist says, if you get the thumbs-up I may try myself and also use creams just to speed up the process.

    Thanks!

    Uksearch. I've tried makari and they broke my face out!! My face just started to clear back up after I STOPPED using it. I think you can get acne from it. Some people have good results I guess, but they could just be people who work for them so... I don't trust them. A total waste of money. The pills are also dangerous! Someone in a previous entry explained how and found the ingrediant that's not edible... Your choice though. I nolonger trust any cream, etc. Makari I been hearing has steroids in it. But that don't let it be really known. If you DO decide to buy it, have it tested!! Only L-glutathione has the chance to really work long term-wise.

    Anyway, Spyyder. You're right about just getting L-glutathione from a place you know is legit. I'm thinking about that also, 'cause Ganda has failed to get back to my replies/emails. I've ordered a bottle of "twin lab" L-glutathione off the net. It's not sold as a whitening pill, but a vitamin of an online drug store. Until I find a pharmacy locally that sells it in large doses, I'll be taking these for now. I'm actually going to make the mixture myself.

    "active white ingredients: 500mg L - glutathione, 250mg Vit. C , 250mg Grapeseed Extract

    I've gotten 3 bottles of VC off the net (vitamin store) 1000 mg each cap (100 caps per bottle)

    I've gotten a bottle of 250 L-glutathione (but I'll take 2 caps @ a time which will make 500mg)

    I'm about to order Grapeseed extract when I can (searching right now).

    And I'll be starting in about three days when everything is delivered: I'll be taking from 1500mg-2000mg of L-glutathione daily (much more than my needed dosage, but I want to make the process go faster. This better work!! It's about the only safe alternative. Wish me luck.

    Yeah, Monica; you are probably right. I never looked at it that way. I will still try to give it a shot though :p

    UKsearch, you might want to search a lot of reviews on Makari before purchasing from them. Also, I know you are anxious, and so are all of us. Just try and take your time before making a decision so you won't regret anything~

    And Yellowgal, I guess it really doesn't matter WHO you get the pills from, as long as the same ingredients are still there. Congrats on the end of your search and good luck on your homemade cocktails!

    I am still real interested in those Averyskin (sp?) pills. I would like to find out how much l-glutathione they put in each pill...

    I doubt my search is over, but we'll see what happens with this concoction. It's safe, so whatever happens, no side effects! Let me know if any of you have found something new. :) Good luck everyone!

    pallit, the coorect use of l-glutathione!!
    Hi uksearch; :D

    For some guyz on this side, specially the "new one`s", it would be better and helpful to read all the replys before they ask the same questions again and again!! :eek:
    Well all this questions (particularly about the use) are still answered :p ; you can even find them on the homepage of unitedshelter! :rolleyes:

    However uksearch your body-weight is 55kg.

    55kg x 20mg to 40mg = between 1100mg to 2200mg l-glutathione
    together with 2200mg to 4400mg Vit C.
    in 3 divided dosis over one day 30min. For a meal!!

    All right? ;)

    ... and use a sunblocker (20 to 30) -not to strong-


    uksearch it`s up to you, which l-glutathione you will order/buy.
    If you order Lucida DS you will find out that their bottle doesn`t look like the one you see on their homepage!
    I have heard the japense l-glutathione (Ishigake / ultrawhite / the "blue one`s") are stronger.
    Well I am changing now every month ( one month Ishigaki the other Lucida DS) because I have read somewhere it`s good to change after a some time.


    Probably I will give up a statement about my results and experience together with l-glutathione/vit C. pills as a skinwhitener in August 2005!
    NOW it`s still to early for a evidence / judgement!!

    Ciao LOTTI!!


    ps.: forget "pallit" and all this stuff!!
    Neither you could find out much about the ingredients of their product
    nor how "it" should block the production of melatonin.
    You will not even find a person on this side which have used it on their
    own (it`s to new; 2005). If you want experience, try it on yourself,
    waste your money and inform us! THANXS!!

    Guyz there is no "wonder-medicine" outside and if someone/a company discover something news in this case of skin lightening the ingredients are not top secret because there is a patent!

    Hey I sent an email to Avre Skin Care the Pallid pills and creams this the reply:-


    If I order online how long will it take for the pills to arrive in the
    > uk?
    Based on feedback from clients in the United Kingdom, it takes between
    7 and 21 days for a parcel to be received.
    >

    I am due to get married in three months and want to lighten 2-3 shades
    > will this really work I have used the speed white and had no luck?

    Unfortunately, our tablets will not make you white. The lightest that they
    will make your skin is the color that appears under the arm, near the armpit
    .

    It is extremely important to make sunscreen a part of your daily beauty
    Routine (even when cloudy or overcast) as this not only prevents premature
    Aging of the skin but also prevents dark or blemished skin from becoming
    Any darker.

    Our products are natural and do NOT bleach the skin but, rather work to
    Reduce the reproduction of Melanin which is responsible for dark skin.

    IMPORTANT:
    Although you appear to be desperate to lighten your skin, we do NOT
    Recommend the use of any products that contain Hydroquinone.

    The short term benefits of Hydroquinone are that it bleaches the skin
    And therefore works very fast and can be noticeable in a short space
    Of time.

    One of the possible side effects of Hydroquinone is "Exogenous Ochronosis",
    Which can cause progressive darkening of the area to which it is applied.
    When this side effect occurs histologically, degeneration of collagen and
    Elastic fibers occurs.
    This degeneration is followed by the appearance of characteristic ochronotic
    Deposits consisting of crescent-shaped, ochre-colored fibers in the skin
    (dermis) scattered around in smaller clumps as darker pigmentation.
    This can be unsightly and permanent scarring can take place.

    We trust and hope that the above answers your questions.

    Kind Regards

    Hey Lotti. My I am glad that I was able to find some good support. I am sort of new to this. I have been using creams for years. Some work but its consists of a lot of time for a daily routine... You guys seem to know a lot about the pills. I was very disopointed to discover that the swiss whitening does not work. Or does it work not work for everyone. I am in the U.S. and I orderd the Swiss whitening last Month. I am down on the last 5 or 6 pills. And Just placed another last week. I an going to give it a try. So what are you using. My skin is naturally the color of the a brown paper dag. But all I want is to even out my over all skin color to a golden brown maybe two shades lighter. Do you think L-Gluthione is right for me? I have a class reunion in October. Do you think that that will be enough time. Look forward to your response.

    Has It Really Worked??
    Hi

    Im an indian in the uk I were born here in the uk and my skin is tanned I just want to lighten my skin slightly because all of my family is lighter then me.

    Im qurious on this site every 1 is chatting about l-gluthione and vit c I'm thinking of taking this but "NObody" on this site has actually said that it works id like just 1 person to say that yeah I've been taking this stuff and it really has made my skin lighter but I haven't read 1 post saying that maybe I missed quite a few,

    I don't trust the people that are selling the product because they will say anything to make you buy it.

    "SO PLEASE ANY 1 WHO HAS HAD SKIN LIGHTENING RESULTS USING L-GLUTHIONE + VIT C PLEASE POST NOW" :confused:

    And if no one has had skin lightening results then I don't see the point of carrying on this thread or talking about it because you might be all going on the wrong track and this thread is a mission to read.

    Also if any 1 has had results could they posibly post some pics!!
