    Beta carotene
    Hi guyz,

    Is it true that also beta carotene help to stop the production of melatonin.
    I always thought the opposite. :confused:
    Did anyone have experience or more knowledge?

    Spyder "kuzami" told us a few reasons when l-glutathione didn`t work for some people to lighten up skin.
    I didn`t have any of this problems at all!

    I` m using now l-glutathione in the right way since the 12th of April and we will see.

    Maybe it takes more time to see a better/stronger lightening effect.
    But I think/hope/believe that l-glutathione will work!!

    Ciao

    Don't waste your time on these pills. You'll spend so much money and spend a year waiting for 1 shade of difference. Then you'll go out one day and tan and all your results will be gone. I don't think its worth it! Creams will work, they are faster and will give better results.

    more details, information
    Hi hindude,

    Well which pills did you use?
    Did you also used l-glutathione in the "right" way?
    (20-40mg x body weight together with Vit C.)

    If you used l-glutathione correct, then I want to know how long did you used this pills and what is your complexion/skin typ//which country, race are you??

    Please tell us more!

    Which cream would you recommend us?
    Did you have experience with soaps on your own?

    Well I used several creams over the last 10 years without any long-term success. After some time the whitening-power was always over!

    I`m using now l-glutathione since the 12th of April 2005. 1 to 1.5 shades lightner, NOT enough and I avoid the sun as much as possible.
    I just will take the pills still on, because I have ordered enough and want my own experience with them.

    However inform us!

    Kuzami well I think you still watch this side.
    Can you put a photo on this forum "before and after"?
    I coul not find one that looks real!!

    ciao

    Yes I used l-glutathione 5000mg a day along with Vit C w/ rosehips for 8 months. My skin got maybe 1 shade lighter... but I don't even know if it was because of the pills or because I was paranoid about being in the sun. Then summer came along and I redarkened back to my old color in just one week. This was even after using SPF 50 sunblock every day. I was only outside a few times. It was such a waste. Since then I started using some body lotions and face creams and the results come much faster. WIth that, even if I get darker, I can quickly get my results back. Plus, my doctor said its very bad to be taking that much of any supplement for a long time. There are many risks you can read about on the internet including kindey stones.

    Hi hindude,

    Thanks for your quick answer. But a few question are still not answered.
    What is your complexion. For very dark persons it could even take 2 years.

    Also 5000mg l-glutathione is a lot. (20 to 40mg x body weight each day!)
    Well 5000/40=125, is your body weight 125kg?
    Which pills did you used? Where did you order your pills.

    Also a sunblocker with 50 SPF is too much.
    I also used earlier 60 SPF and my skin become darker.
    Now I use "only" +20 SPF and it is much better!

    A bleaching cream/lotion will also make your skin darker in the summer and after some time (my experience) the whitening power is still over!

    However I will continue using l-glutathione to make my experience on myself.

    It would be nice if you also answer my other questions.

    There are a lot of different opinons about l-glutathione and I cannot believe/hope that this companies (sellers) fake us.

    Maybe you used not real l-glutathione, maybe the dosis was too much or the time of using still not long enough for your complexion. I don`t know!

    I am not very dark. My complexion is medium brown - prety typical of a indian. The glutathione I purchased was real. It was bought from a local health store, so I know that's not the problem. My main issue is that, if it takes this long for results, is it really worth it? A cream can get me the same results in a couple of weeks. When I redarken from the sun, I don't mind using a cream again for a couple of weeks to lighten up again. But I think pills are a waste of money and time just because they take so long and don't provide any substantial results.

    So far I believe that Godiva has the one that has the highest concentration of Licorice... because it is really concentrated. If you are from the US you may check on where Dr. Vicky Belo, she is the top dermatologist here in the philippines, will be having her one day consultation... and she does formulate too a high concentration of licorice with AHA and grapeseed extract as a bleaching agent and does work well to me...

    *Cher*

    I still got the box...
    Recommended schedule of application for best results are:
    1. once daily for 7 consecutive days
    2. twice for 1 week
    3. once for 1 week

    I bleached myself using this and cost me 1 box for 3 application... that is for the whole body... if I mix it more thicker it makes it 2 application per box. Thicker is better... so maybe you will be needing 10boxes for the complete process... ethas got the mixing solution... if you going to order the powder online... I think it is better that you get the mixing solution in your place so that it would not cost you that much... since the mixing solution is just AGUA OXIGENADA in 10 volume... you can buy it in pharmacy anyway...

    When I wanted to be whiter... I actually used it for one month continuously... hehe...

    $5!
    No way! I have to pay $10.00 plus shipping & handling ($15.00) because I'm ordering off the internet so I'd have to spend over $100! :mad: well, I've spent a fortune on skin whitening pills, creams, etc.. I hope this will work. What state/ country are you in?

    Which pills to buy?
    Hey there people :)

    About 4 months ago I bought whitening pills from Kazumi, and I saw pics of Kazumi as well on the site with proper white skin and it appears the pills really worked well for him/her.

    But I used them for around 4 months and haven't seen any results.. Should I keep buying & trying?

    Also, which do u think is more likely to work: United shelter pills or pills from Kazumi?

    Thank you very much :o

    Hello Princess,

    I think I may have your answer. There is a new website that has whole body whitening products. It is a relatively new site that is run by a Vietnamese woman who has developed her own line of products. She is a PHD and seems to know what she is talking about. I have been using her product for about two weeks and am beginning to notice subtle changes in my tone. I know of the "placebo effect" and how it can influence one's thinking when a change is urgently desired, however, I have noticed a change. I have read every post regarding lightening of the skin and was surprised that no one knows of this website. I am curious as to whether anyone else has heard of her. Go to searchthingy and type in "skin whitening" and you will find the site. I will not post her web address here as I think that good research requires focused effort. I am a person like many of you that desired a change in my appearance. I have used the creams, lotions, soaps and was left wanting. I have done my homework on how the body manufactures black, yellow, and red pigments in the skin. I found that in all of my attempts to change my appearance, I failed in that I did not know the mechanism of change. I was young and impatient. I honestly think that you will find what you seek when you find the website I am referring to. Good Luck.

    Brand
    I have used loreal whitening products for more than 1 year but it didn't lighten my skin abit . There are some brightening products in CLINIQUE .I ve been using it for the last 1 month.. these products are really great. Even though still it didn't lighten my skin but I know it will after 2 month because the company says I will see results after 2 months.but what it did is it made my skin more smother and glowing.. I just love these products. I am using the brightening soap ,refreshing brightening lotion,intensive essence serum, and then the active white moisture cream.I have used many more brand products before but never got such effect thus I'm getting now!!
