DOES THIS STUFF ACTUALLY WORK ?!! Skin Lightening with Glutathione and Vitamin C IV
Hey guys , in April I started my skin lightening journey with glutathione and vitamin c IV . I started with twice a week 500mg of glutathione and 5k mg of vitamin c. My nurse increased my dosage with every treatment . Its now in June and I've had 19 treatments . And I'm at 2k mg of gluthione and 12kmg of vitamin c . I plan on doing it for 6 months ..so till October . Honestly I'm getting impatient , but I'm not at my desire complexion yet and I haven't seen significant results besides a bit of skin clearing . I understand it takes time but yea lol . I will be updating my progress from here on out . If you've done this , how long did it take you to see results ? And what was your dosage of vitamin c and glutathione ? ;

1st of all, no clinical evidence that glutathione lighten skin but people have reported their skin lightening which is the side effects of glutathione. Try 600mg alphalipoic acid, 3gm glutathione and 3gm Vit C weekly. Also if you drink alcohol stop and also avoid shell fish. Then don't forget to use UV protection with spectrum UVA & UVB.

It lightens the skin—there are tons of studies about glutathione and vitamin C—skin lightening is big business.
Your above recommendation is not enough vitamin c or gluta to see results (you said per week)

Hi guys, great read and information above. I've just started using organic skin lightening pills from a company called organic skin lightening. I was a bit worried about the dossage they recommended. A total of 3000mg of gluta and 2000mg of vitamin c. I hope it's not a scam since the vitamin c should be more than the gluta.

Hi, that’s interesting that a company is advising that you take more gluta than vit c. Did you question them about that? All the companies and doctors I’ve spoken to say the opposite. More vitamin C—the thing is...our bodies will naturally get rid of an excess of vit c, so there’s no worry about ingesting too much. You’ll pee it out. But Liposomal vit c you will retain more. Just be careful who you order from. Some trusted places I like are Santeva and some of the pharmaceutical companies through Amazon. Gluta should be taken according to your weight (ask them about that)

June 19, 2018
Yes your right . Vitamin c need to be more than gluta. I've seen it around but I haven't heard anything about it . Since you are going the pill route , you should take this 3 tims a day at least . I recommend you open both capsule and put in water and drink it .

Hi I bought osl pills in April this year and I have the bottles I can upload for proof I didn’t see a significant change at all they say take 3 pills of each bottle day & night which I did up until last week. I did the glutathione test on the pills with iodine and it failed when I messaged osl on instagram and provided them with proof of video with the iodine test. Their reply was ridiculous they then deleted & blocked me. If anyone wants to see the test I might upload on YouTube or reply with your email.

Another thing which is strange there is no FDA approval but yet a celebrity dermatologist created the pills which is unknown who they are, Black Chyna is basically the face of the brand. Any customer that has spoken up about not seeing results after months they quickly delete comments & block. If a company has nothing to hide they would not do that. Most of all there pills fails the iodine test, open the pills it smells like fish & the representative said it’s because the collagen is fish, but it’s a well known fact your not really supposed to have fish whilst taking glutathione

June 21, 2018
That company seems very sketchy! I'm pretty sure black chyna never even used it . It just for promotion . None of the glutha supplements have taken smell like that . Maybe try flawless icon ,beshiny L and , santeva

Yeah @lady_monroe I found that I was in the car driving to work an hour each way, and no matter how much sun block you on you will still tan, it doesn’t block the tanning aspect, so it was counter productive doing everything and then having that amount of sun hitting me from the side, it’s helped so much.
My gluta iv wasn’t cold, now I wonder the legitimacy of it. Is the Santeva brand of gluta pills legitimate? I was looking into the core science also @dbbb2018 I will definitely double on the vit c from today :-)
Yes girls I read a few places that nac is great for gluta absorption, I will look into it this evening to get more info and see which brands are good

@shazza , make sure that your glutathione is cold !! It must be kept cold otherwise is toxic ! @dbb2018 and @shazza what's your goal shade? I'm about to upload a picture of mines :)
June 19, 2018
I stopped with the gluta @lady_monroe it was too expensive for me and I didn’t trust that the quality was good as there was no change, and if it was supposed to be cold it definitely wasn’t, if I noticed a tiny amount of change I would have kept on. My game plan now is to be consistent with the gluta pills and vit c. I am an Oprah shade currently but want to be more of a Beyoncé shade, Oprah looks great, just this shade doesn’t look great on me! I will upload pictures also. I hope we all get to the goal shade we want! You all seem like a great bunch of girls, would be nice for this to be successful :-)

Hey you guys—sorry I’ve been MIA but I’ve been on my researching stint again!!
Ok—so I went out and purchased some 600 mg NAC in addition to what I’m already doing: high doses of vitamin C, Liposomal glutathione, Santeva, Kojic acid soap, exfoliating, using an iron oxide sunblock, covering up, and so forth.
I did some pretty heavy research on NAC and it seems to be KEY in raising glutathione levels in the blood.
The more and more research I do, I am now even more convinced that unless you’re taking Liposomal gluta, or IV gluta and high doses of vitamin c, you’re results will be very slow.
Liposomal gluta is about the same absorbency as IV gluta. Get this!! Vitamin C must be double what you’re taking in mg of gluta—so if you’re taking 1500 mg of gluta 3 times a day which is badicallly the dose or higher that you need to try and achieve therapeutic results based on skin lightening—it means that you should take upwards from 3000 or more vitamin c 3 times a day as well.
So for instance, I’m taking about 1500 mg of gluta morning, noon, and night, sometimes a little more, so on average I’m taking about 6000 mg per day. This means I’m also taking about 9,000- 12,000 mg of vitamin C total per day.
Now—here’s the thing. If my body cannot take that much vitamin c, I’ll simoly pee it out. Now that it’s been 2 days on the NAC, and I’ve been doing only 2 pills per day....it causes some nausea and today upon taking it on an empty stomach with my vitamin C and the Liposomal gluta, I had horrible stomach pain and the runs. I’m not sure if it was the NAC alone, because I’m also on my menstrual cycle, but in reading about NAC, it does cause these sysnotoms. I may only take one dose per day. It’s very well absorbed based on the research I did. Taking more than needed can cause serious side effects.
The rub is, NAC, is the precursor to creating more gluta in the body. So I will continue to take it.
If you’re just popping gluta pills it’s going to quickly deteriorate in your stomach giving about a 10% absorbency Rate. Try Liposomal products, or put the gluta powder under your tongue, or try using gluta powder in a enema. The under the tongue, and the rectal area absorb the most when it comes to nutrients because of the abundance of blood vessels.
Just so you know, I thought it was very interesting that there were two days that I went without my Liposomal gluta and within that time I noticed my skin kind of lost the luster (yellow tone) I had while on it. As soon as I started it back Thursday—today (Saturday) that glow is back. Maybe I’m imagining things, but I don’t think so.
One of the biggest things that you can do to make sure you’re getting authentic results is stay your ass out of the sun!!! Seriously, slather an iron oxide sunblock on your skin that is close to your complexion. I’ll show you mine, and cover up your body on top of that—seriously. Wear a sun hat to keep rays from reaching your face and neck. Especially if you’re using Kojic acid soap—your skin will quickly get red and irritated and burn with even minutes of sun exposure.
You have to have thick skin meaning do not care what people say!! I live in extreme heat, I am covered from head to toe because I’m not about to be taking all of these supplements and exfoliating just to have a few minutes of sun exposure ruin my results. If you do this you’ll know your results are coming from what you’re doing, if you keep exposing your skin to the sun, alll the things you’re doing are pointless.
I’m looking to see where to attach pics so I can show you the products I use, but I don’t see it.

You should've continued for a year before giving up. Were you using a reputable clinic with genuine glutathione? How dark are you? Probably that dose was too small for you. What was your diet like? I hope you were not eating any sea food such as fish , drinking alcohol or smoking, staying in the sun even for 5 mins can be a great hinderance to achieving the best results - these are some of the issues that will inhibit the progress of glutathione results. I had glutathione for 5 months without any changes & this was because I was doing the wrong things such drinking alcohol, eating fish, walking in the sun without the sun protection. And now, I have only used it for just 3 months and I am 3 shades lighter.
If you really want to have some drastic results with even skin, try the laser skin lightening - Very pricey but soooòo worthy it. You can achieve 5 shades lighter within 3 months. And also, laser skin lightening is more permanent than glutathione.
Hope that helps.
Good luck.

What else are you doing for lightening? Are you on the real self app? I’m not but let me try that and see if more of your message comes up
