So CrashProof which one of those hundreds of products do you mean you want to order?? Im not english speaking that's why I don't know really. And do they ship to europe too??
DKNY I didn't understand one thing really: WHY does one must take 2 sorts of vitamin C?? Is that true? I mean that "3. KIRKLAND VITAMIN C with ROSEHIP 1000mg" staff. Isn't that Acid in there harmful? Questions and questions I hope you can answer them. Thanks a lot
And from where do you finally going to order from? From UNIS?
CU
As what I know, you won't get back to what was once your color is by just stopping the pills. I think all you have to do to maintain the color is take care of it like don't go under the sun if you really don't need to, use sunblocks etc.
I don't think there is a side effect because as far as I know this is a anti-oxidant. But I can not really tell because I just start taking it this couple of months and I am not yet going to stop taking it, one of my cousin is still just to consume her last pieces of the pills and after that she will stop, maybe then I can tell you what's the score on her. But as what I have read and researched it won't give any side effect because its just like taking vitamins.
The KIRKLAND vitamin C has 1000tablets and is like US$60 to US$70 to my seller I don't know because I am buyingmy krkland here aside from it cost less by few bucks I also save from shipping cost that why I did not included the price there. I think you should get any generic vitamin c there so we won't end up spending too mcuh.
And rosehip is not vitamin C xenophone its just like an added thing with the vitamin c. its like whitening cream with sunblock, where the main focus is the whitening cream they just add the sunblock to help, just like in kirkland, the main thing there is the vitamin c just added the rosehip for added benefit. Hope I explained that well.
I willtry the glutathione soap and lotion too, when my cousin visit us here for christmas because soaps are heavy and will just make me pay a lot on shipping.
Hi , I'm a chinese living in australia. Since young ,I've always been discriminated in my family because I have dark skin . Then a product named tull-jye came along a few years ago and solved my problem. This product claimed to have been manufactured in taiwan and stuff. Indeed , my face turns fairer and fairer. Then last year , this product started being banned because it contains mercury! :eek: . I'm reli in a dilemma now. After I read this forum , I find out about the L-gluthationne. Is it true that it can lighten up the whole body? Wad is the dosage supposed to be used for me if I'm about 45-47 kg? And how much vitamin C should be taken along with it? Thanksss fer the help guys. :o :rolleyes:
Hey Butt-Stop
You should take 2760 mg of this stuff per day! And the double dosage of Vitamin C which is 5520 mg.
Yeah I try also to find out if this ing glutathione really works??
Its very expensive tats why I'm not sure to buy it. And in this forum you cannot trust EVERYONE because some people here are sellers and just want to sell that stuff but when you ask for a before-after picture they don't answer.
Yeah man the whole thing is weird. Pherhaps I order that thing just to try once. But since then I wait for some answers in this forum.
See You. Bye
(from the Sennine skin care site, judge for yourselves if pills can actually work or not.)
January 2004 (More Articles Below):
Why Skin Whitening Pills Cannot Work
Recent demand hikes for skin whitening have led to the development of so-called skin whitening pills as advertized by various companies. These companies make claims of achieving all-over whiter skin by taking internal medication.
The principle behind these claims is highly attractive. However, to accomplish a lighter skin tone, these pills must target melanin producing cells only and leave all other cells in the body untargeted. Such a task has been the goal of science for centuries. Indeed, if medical science could target only particular cell groups effectively, cancer would be completely treatable.
Targeting particular cells is very difficult and has not ever been possible. Some manufacturers of skin whitening pills, however, claim to provide high quantities of Vitamin C and other skin whitening ingredients to the entire body (including skin cells) and, as such, they can achieve skin whitening. Unfortunately, this approach is not feasible either, because to provide such a high strength of Vitamin C (or any other ingredient) to all melanin-producing cells based on internal medication, one would have to consume poisonous amounts of such ingredients.
We strongly urge the consumer to be aware of these basic principles and judge claims of skin whitening from suppliers of skin whitening pills accordingly.
:eek:
Ups..!
Which skin cream do you use?
And what do you think about that glutathione-creams? That sounds interesting doesn't it? :rolleyes:
I use Fair & Flawless Facial Whitener.Quote:

In theory is sounds good but forget the lotion if the glut pills don't work.
Lightening from the inside out does not sound interesting and the dosage one has to take everyday looks to be a bit much.
The body will only use a certain amount of vitamins and minerals before they rest exit down the toilet. :eek:
Hi, I have been reading your posts for a month now. I just got really discouraged after reading The one that Nikkicute posted. I have been taking
L-glutathione and vitamin C for a week now. I have not see any result yet. It's too early to see any but I am going to keep taking it. I took the celebrity whitening pills for a month before I started the glutathione, they did not work. I read all these posts about L-glutathione and I felt like this is the one. Now I'm not so sure about it nomore. I'm deseperate to find something that can give me even skin tone. My underarms and bikini area are a lot darker than the rest of my body. I tried bleaching creams but, They don't work because I can only use them at night and during the day I have to use deodorant and you can't put both on at the same time. I will keep you posted. :confused:
Godiva skincare does offer an underarm lightening deordorant you can try.Quote:

Since I already brought the pills and taking them I'm waiting to see the outcomes, then I'll try the underarm lighteners. Like my Mom said you're taking the pills and they're good for your health. If they lighten your skin that's great, if they don't that's good.
Sorry. Was out of the country for a while. Before when I was using Vitamins USA which contained 250mg Vitamin C per cap, I added 5 1000mg Kirkland Vitamin C(in my opinion, the cheapest brand) but it was way too much for my throat to handle. Right now, I am using Dr. James glutathione which does not contain any Vitamin C. I take with it 2 1000mg Kirkland Vitamin C.Quote:

So, before you do try anything, do some research but be cautious about people who are merely selling & have no experience with these products. There are an ample of them here so use your judgement well.As for underarms & bikini areas, these areas are usually more pigmented. The underarms due to use of deodorants & the bikini areas due to panties & friction. A lot of people have tried tretinoin astringents on these areas paired with whitening creams but do be careful about these too as tretinion can cause skin peeling & sometimes, irritation which can even make it darker. Anyway, if you are currently trying any product, do keep us posted on your progress. These are forums for users, not sellers.Quote:

If you are interested just order online. I will try to order too.
Just for now folks!
Hi there, Lotti! So, how long did you use glutathione? What brand? How many mg?Maybe I didn't lighten so much. Not as I expected & I am closing to 2 months but on a better thought, my skin has become much nicer. Smooth, more even toned & supple. Also, breakouts like pimples, blackheads & other forms of dermatitis have occurred less frequent especially on the elbows(It tends to look rough before due to constant friction with tabletops)& gluteal folds. But I use Whitening lotion, whitening soap, minimized sun exposure so I guess all those factors did contribute to the 2 shades I have whitened so far. :) And for the record, I do not sell anything.Nor will I endorse any product. Just a user hoping to get the best products in the market.
Hey dimples: where have you got that "whitening soap" from?
Which site? How much does it cost?
Sounds interesting
Hi,
Just curios, what nationality and skin complexion would you say you are lotti and dimples?
I have tried a lot of whitening soaps in the market. You name it, I have tried it. But right now, I am using the YSA whitening soap. I am already on my third bar. So far, I like it. It makes you whiter. That is my opinion & observation. The problem is it makes your skin dry so you would need a lot of lotion after. Their lotion is okay, too. I was previously using Nivea Whitening lotion but I feel that it makes my complexion look darker after I put some on so even if I still have 6 bottles here, I discontinued using them.Quote:

So dimples could you recommend me an internet site where I could buy that staff?
Isn't it harmfulkl to the skin? Does anybody know something about whitening soap except dimples??
L-glutathione I won't buy or trie. So many people do say that it does not work. So why waaste money. And the one who sell that seem to me a bit TOOO kind.
They can't give one pictures of before and after... hmm
The answer to your question above is Yes. Michael Jackson did many things to his skin - not just one thing. He used 4% HQ prescription called Eldopaque. Had laser treatments and probably chemical peels. I would hardly use him as an example though since he is sickly, his skin looks washed out white, who knows how many side effects he faced with all that.
You can have peeling or microdermabrasion done at dermatologists office or spas/salons. There are at home versions, but with peels you have to do light ones like glycolic or lactic at low percentages. Microdermabrasion you can find at home treatments with those machines or a simple cream like Epidermx.
Try one new thing at a time, otherwise your skin will go into overdrive and breakout.
Do not expect miracle from all this glutathione loca. I have been using it for 2 months & 2 days now & I have only lightened 2 shades so it is much less than expected. The perks are of course, smoother & softer skin with less blemishes & it is the primary reason I am still using it. I would say it is an excellent skin supplement, not that much of a whitener.Quote:

No I think the soaps COULD be perfect for me. They could make my skin red. That's what I want I think. Im not so dark so its OK. It's a you know
"greek skin color". Where do you live? I think in the US don't you? I live in germany. Don't know if here the asia shops have something like soaps.
Don't know asia shops at all :D
I will have a look.
How do the soaps work on your skin? Of which origin are you?
Thanks a lot dimples
What brand is the soap you are using dimples.
I need to get me some suntan lotion, and what is the deal with makari.
I herd milk and water mixed is good for your skin too, anyone hear of that. Ordered a book on glutathione at barnes and nobles so imma peep that in few days and come back if find anything else. I rely think for gluta to work you need to be like light brown or have at least been light brown/yellow/white as a kid. My face and forearms are mid brown but my body legs is like yellow and as a kid I had good pigmentation. I think some people are really dissapointed in gluta because they are naturally black and are trying to jump to white. Ain't going to happen. Dimples you being filipino is brown but chinese and spanish is white so you have a good shot. Xeno you being persian most likely also have a good shot. 2 shades in 2 months is not bad, keep it up for a year you might jump 4 shades hopfully permanent and you are seeing results as your skin is smooth now. Which gluta are you using and how much.
HI skin white
Can you tell me what is chemical peels and microdermabrasion? Does it lighten skin color?
I have contacted with so many plastic surgeon.. they all said there's no way to change color which is really disappointed me!!
I have used several skin whitening cream but nothing workd.. all gave me breakouts! So I'm looking for something permanent ! Is there anything that you know ?
Thankx

Then there are the stronger peels(higher percentage) that are done in your derms or surgeons office. Some are not recommended for dark skin because of risk of hyperpigmentation, so it's important to see someone professional.
Microdermabasion is like a "polisher" that a dr/tech uses with a cream with oxide crystals which stimulate new cell growth and collagen.
It's not a one time thing and needs a series of treatments. The surgeons are right, you're not going to change your color like Michael J. but with consistent treatments you will see lightening.
Hello Hello all! For months I've been an unregistered guest of this forum, reading repetitive messages... that really get us nowhere. I'm an african girl, currently living in Australia... or if I may 'WHITE' australia. I am proud of my skin colour and looks, HOWEVER... I also believe lighter brown is also attractive. I'm not too dark, just brown with yellow tones. But I want to lighten atleaset 2 shades, maybe a shade darker than beyonce? ANYWAY.. my point today is, I visited skinbleaching.net, after many other hopeless websites. I was almost about to purchase the swiss lightening pills, until someone here (can't remember who) mentioned they were bullsh*t. So I came across the PEARL WHITENER tablets, located under 'speacial products', on skinbleaching.net. I've been using them for just under a month now, and have noticed significant lightening in my skin. I am confused though, as I am using CLEAR ESSENCE body lotions which could be responsible for this lightening. Who knows? I will continue to use these pills for another month, & definitely keep all posted on my progress.
GOD BLESS :rolleyes:
Hey... Sorry to hear that Asian shops are hard to find in Germany. Anyway, if you do have Asian friends, have them buy for you. I have used YSA soap for a month now & its nice. Since I have lightened from glutathione, the freckles have become obvious but now, its become a tad lighter so I am not complaining. :D I have like 12 bars left & I intend to purchase more when I run out.Honestly, I am disappointed that people say glutathione did not work for them. Maybe the dosage is incorrect because it really did work for me & I have used it for 2 months & a week yet. The results are not overnight though. People I know have noticed the change & so did I so I am thinking of using it for maintenance. The price is reasonable with the benefits I have been getting. I used to not be able to see the bluish hints of veins on both hands but now that I am lighter, I am sure blood letting would not be a problem for me now! Lol. :pQuote:

The most it can do perhaps would be 4 shades as a friend of mine claims her best friend used it for nearly a year now & is already 4 shades lighter.I don't know for sure as I am still on the second month & no better gauge than yourself, right? I have been using Dr. James for 1 month & 3 weeks as It would come out cheaper when you are needing high doses. My sister tried Tathione which is from Japan & she got no result. Maybe the glutathione content is way too low so she started Dr James too like me 2 weeks ago & I noticed she has whitened a shade now. Both of us are using YSA soap for a month now. The cost would be much less if you have relatives in the Philippines who can buy it for you rather than buy online. Sellers online are nuts to charge so much as these are supermarket items not exclusively found in specialty shops.Quote:

Hi Guys
The search for the skin lightening Solution continues!!
Just when I thought glutathione would be the solution, guys prove me otherwise. I am now totally lost and I was just about to make an order, Sexy Rhia had convinced me but now……………….
O.k so we know Michael Jackson is totally to the extreme of skin lightening and probably spent millions getting it done.
But what about others. Example, look at Eddie Murphy the way he looked at the time of Beverly Hills Cop and look at him today - Totally different. What about Beyonce and a lot of these other artists and actors and actresses what did they use??
There must be an affordable solution??
I have seen a lot of black women using a chemical called diprosone which is quite costly and can be quite damaging to the skin. They don’t use it on their whole bodies and usually concentrate on face and arms leaving their legs remaining dark it looks horrible. But at least it makes the skin lighter fast. Isn’t there something safe and that works??
Maybe we need to contact a skin doctor and ask him to give his views on all this?
In fact that’s what I am going to do.
Someone come up with the goods here.
How Much would this cost? Sounds like it would cost a fortune!!Quote:

DKNY, which are you talking about on cost? Many vary from salons or doctor's office. If you're on a budget, you can always try the do it at home methods.
Dimples, so then what is your verdict? Is glutathione whitening your skin?
Yup. I can honestly say it did whiten me two shades. But that is it so far. If you are planning to go 5 shades or something like that, I think you would just be disappointed. But on a good note, it does make your skin very nice so I would recommend it.Quote:

Hi Buddies,
I've been rading through these forum since few days and finds many contradictive statements
Regarding the products.
Let me share my true personal experience.
I am of Indian Origin my skin color is dark Brown on my face(Due to years of Sun exposure) and 2 shades lighter body color.
In 1993 I had used a cream called Cleartone and my skin color
Became 4 shades lighter means effectively 2 more shades lighter than my
Original skin color.Was enjoying this new confidence for 2 years
But unfortunately this cream was banned all over the world from 1995 end.
My craving for white skin made me try a lot of products but the companies
Were cheating me like many of us on this net.Some products made me lighter
Just for a week then effect was reverse my skin texture was damaged
And I was disappointed and frustrated.
Finally I read about hydroquinone and tried a cream called
Eldopaque Forte 4 % for 2 months and I had noticeable difference in my skin tone.
People told me that I started looking handsome and fresh.
I would say that my face color were 2 shades lighter( means back to my body color) and
I was quite happy with this.But later I discontinued the use since I was afraid
To continue Hyrdoquinone for longtime.
Now I am using ZA True whitening essence with Vitamin C,it is effective in evening out skin tone and over all texture but no visible whitening effects as such the earlier
Products I were using.
I am now seriously investigating on Gluthathione Pills.But my worries are
1)There is no proper evidence of a successful whitening from anybody.
2)Most of the guys who claim to have an effect seem to be contradictive in
Statements and also looks like fake sellers who want to cheat the
White skin seekers to hell.
3)I have serious doubt in internal whitening in the uniformity of whitening we can achieve.
Even though Gluth Pills may help to whiten ,what is the guarantee that it would whiten
Evenly.. on our skin may be it whitens our skin like patches... and we end up in
God damn vitilgo..
Most of the time I have my skin shades switching from 1 shade light and 1 shade dark with
These bloody creams in the market someone just save me...
I am currently in Singapore and hunting for some products which would asctually whiten skin.
So please buddies let us make this a group effort and help ourselves to find a
True soloution to our problems.Please share your experiences with a true heart and not with a cunning business mind a group of souls are spending a lot of money and
Time just to get a little bit of white.
Best regards,
JetBlack.
