    Hiya!

    I am also looking for pills (internal whitening) because I am sceptical about using other products... Anyone here tried thienna's products?

    Hey Princess love.
    Have you got expirience with pills or creams for whitening? Im not sure to order from asianwhiteskin because its so damn expensive. What is thienna?

    Hi there Xenophon...

    Well I brought a 3 months supply of speedwhite & rosehips from asianwhiteskin - yet got no results. I also took 5 months supply of speedwhite from a seller called Kazumi - also no results. So I was verrrry disappointed. Someone here mentioned trying thienna's products/pills which I hadn't heard of before.

    If you don't mind me asking - what skin colour are you and what would you like to achieve?

    Best wishes :)

    I don't know whut's its going to take for people to realize pills do not work!! Only people that say it works are the ones selling them. Save your money! If u're still set on it buy antioxidants and take them. It will make you skin glow and smooth, but not whiten.

    I think that whitening pills do work, seriously, you just have to take the right amount of mg to see whitening results... some don't see results because they are taking it in low dosage.

    You need to take 20-40mg/kg of body weight or 20-40mg/2.2lbs of body weight taken 3 times a day. Vitamin C is taken along with it in double the dose of the whitening pills.

    i.e.

    50kg (110lbs) x 20-40mg = 1000mg-2000mg of Glutathione

    2000mg-4000mg Vitamin C

    That's just a way to sell more pills by increasing the dose. Your body is going to excrete excess out anyway or like someone said would even turn into sugar. Too much of any good thing can cause bad side effects to your body.

    Ok my weight is about 70 kg. This would be very expensive to buy so much glutathione and vitamine C if I wanted to take 2100mg of it and 4200 mg of the other stuff. That's unpayable to me. Ok well I could buy it but is it worth it?

    IS THERE NOTHING ELSE WHICH COULD HELP??
    For the very very white people or those who don't like their white skin there are a loooooott of things for example cream or sun studios or at leas the sun itself :-) but for us: NOTHING??

    Yeah that would cost you like 97 dollars a month for pills
    Maybe the least you can do is try the whitening creams, lotions, soaps and be patient enough to wait for results you wanted.
  • Sep 15, 2005, 10:40 AM
    Xenophon
    Yeah but WHICH creams and soaps? I did buy *Satin Skin Fade Cream* from the US shop. But I didn't notice any results. No the people around me even asked: "You got very brown, what did you do??" So I got even more dark from it. Hmm Bull.
  • Sep 15, 2005, 03:38 PM

    I think it really do takes effort and time to see which cream or lotion or soap to discover which soap will really be best for you. Those who got it in one shot really is lucky, like even with my dermatologist, that's why like when they prescribe a cream they have to ask you to spot test it or observe your skin for couple of days and stop if there are irritations simply because our skin has the final words on the products that we will be using, that even dermatologist isn't sure if a product to what extent or how our skin will react to the product even if they are knowledgeable enough.

    Well it will be just like this, I guess, when you get a cream or soap, you use it initially if you don't get irritations continue using it, then if a week or so and you don't get any darker then good but if so, give up on that product and try a new one, you should have at least notice a difference in 3 to 4 weeks. Because its like those when our skin complete it cycle thing... but if you continue using the product and see no results then give up on the product again and try a new one.

    Hello... hello
    Hi everyone. I just finished 1 month of my 3000mg glutathione marathon just today. The 2 shades that I have lightened still remains. That's about it, I guess. My sister says I have lightened. So has the rest of my family. I have reduced my Vitamin C to 1000mg/day(the big tablets make me choke!) & I noticed there isn't any significant difference to the 4000mg Vitamin C I used to take. Do check who you buy your glutathione from. A lot of them overcharge. My glutathione cost me but 70-80 US dollars/month & that's not so bad. :)

    Hey Jonanny. Can you please tell me the HP of "Kazumi"? Which natinality have you if you diont mind me asking and what did you pay for that 6 month supply?

    Thanks

    Kasumi
    I wanted to try kazumi's whitening pills before but when I did not saw any lightening effects on my cousins, I refrain from buying some, they have used it for more than 6 months, following as what kazumi ronquillo has directed them but they did not had any skin lightening.

    I just looked for a glutathione pills that contain higher contents of glutathione, 1000mg and take it 3x a day to cover for the 40mg per kg of my body weight. It cost less than those 500mg capsules, and I have seen lightening effects on my skin, 2 shades in just 1 month.

    anyway, glutathione is glutathione, and whatever brand you take it is always glutathione, they just differ from the other vitamins and anti-oxidants or glutathione boosters that comes with glutathione in the tablet.

    I suggest you just look for a capsule or tablet that contain 1000mg of glutathione and that cost not much.

    For 6 months supply, I paid $245 excluding shipping. I think he is having a sale now and shipping is included not sure how much though. His URL is http://www.superwhiteningpills.8k.com/. I am a Filipina, I consider myself as "dark", however, my friends who are mostly white americans envy my skin and think I have a perfect tan complexion. I guess we just like what we don't have. :)

    It would seem then that this skin lightening business is all about Glutathione and as long as the pills contain 1000mg of it then it should work.

    Are we saying this is correct?

    Also that Dimples suggestion of getting the pills from magic-potions would be the best bet right?
  • Sep 28, 2005, 08:10 AM
    Sexy_Rhia
    Glutathione will work on lightening the skin when you use the right dosage, if you just take it less than what it required, you are more of just improving your skin but not getting the whitening effects of the product.

    I got my glutathione from a different seller and I think I got better deals with the other brand that I am using. Though my seller also have other brands. (even if the question is addressed to dimples :D)

    Hey Rhia

    So which pills are you using? The instructions come with the bottle don't they?

    I really want to get into this but I really need to make the right decision Xenophon knows what I'm talking about.

    I wolud suggest you scout around for the best price of glutathione. I would suggest those that already had a following since new ones tend to have problems about authenticity. I used to buy my glutathione from Kazumi but then his price was still high even when I ordered in bulk. About US$30/bottle but Magic-potions was able to lower it to US$25/bottle when you buy 10 bottles so it is still good savings. I suggest you have relatives or friends bring it to you as not to have added freight costs.

    Well it looks like magic-potions is looking good so far. Hey Dimples do they give you the instructions on doseage etc.
  • Sep 30, 2005, 08:12 AM

    I used to take 2 Vitamins USA(with 500mg glutathione & 250mg Vitamin C) & 2 Dr James(1000mg glutathione each) with 5 1000mg Vitamin C. But then, I realized that it would save me a lot of money if I used all Dr James instead of adding Vitamins USA so have been doing that now. For about 3 weeks also, I have cut down my Vitamin C to 2 tablets of 1000mg Vitamin C so my regimen right now is 2 tablets 1000mg Vitamin C(I used Kirkland since it is cheap & other Vitamin Cs are only 500mg) with 3 capsules of Dr James glutathione. So far, the results are okay.

    l-gluta + vit c
    hi, have a question about the formulation of these skin lightening pills... m really confused, do we add the vit. c content of the pill to the dosage of the vit. c pill that we need to take in together w/ it? take ACTIVE WHITE for example. its formulation includes 250 mg Vit C and 250mg Grape seed Extract.
  • Oct 2, 2005, 09:32 AM

    YES, you should add the Vit. C in the dosage with the extra Vit. C that you take separately.

    My weight (now) is about 65 kg. So I should take 2600mg Glutathione per day right? How many Vitamin c should I take with that? And how many capsules of glut. Are 2600mg? That sounds if it is a lot isn't it? I probably would buy from UNIS. Does anyone have expieriences with her?

    You can't really. I guess it's a gamble. You just have to follow your instincts.
    At least some of them seem more genuine than others.

    I will still have a try and then post my results here. However it would be nice if we could see some more people breaking it down like the way Rhia has done.

    By the way Rhia I never said thanks. That was a really good job. But one thing once you start taking can you stop and you remain the same colour or do you start going back to the colour you were? Or are there any side effects if you stop?

    Also how much are KIRKLAND VITAMIN C with ROSEHIP 1000mg?
