Product Review: Relumins Advance White Active Glutathione Complex

     Hello dearies! Did you miss my glutathione reviews? Anyhoo, here's another brand that is becoming popular nowadays because I've heard that it's being endorsed by a famous female dance group- EB BABES! Another fun fact: my cousin is one of the members of EB Babes from the first batch to be exact. She's EB Babe Angel :) By the time that she was still in the group, her group mate Hopia takes Relumins everyday.

     Does the word Relumins rings a bell? I'm sure that you've heard and see this brand of glutathione way way back but only a few have actually tried it. Some find it expensive because a bottle costs around 2,000 php. I will just make my introduction short because I'm excited to show my photo and share my thoughts on Relumins Advance White Active Glutathione Complex that was sent to me by cheskas store for a review. Full review details below :)

Product Review: Relumins Advance White Active Glutathione Complex

 
     I will not go into full details about glutathione as I believe that once the word glutathione comes to mind, it's a no brainer that the word is all about whitening. Again, I'm already fair to begin with and the thoughts that I will express here are my honest opinion about the product during the time I'm taking it. Sharing with you some benefits of Relumins as what is written on the bottle.

Product Review: Relumins Advance White Active Glutathione Complex

• Glutathione, especially cysteine, improves the body’s non-specific immune responses, producing more T4 white blood cells. They also help to protect the lungs.
• Can increase endurance & well being.

     At first, I was not convinced that this brand will pass my standards in glutathione review department because the brand became popular after being endorsed by an EB Babe member. I was like "yah, it will sell like hotcakes because it's being endorsed by EB Babes", well after taking this for a month, I was proven wrong! Reading the ingredients, I saw potent glutathione boosters included in every capsule like ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid, NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine), Vitamin E, and Selenomethonine.

What I like:

• The packaging- It is tightly sealed once you purchase a bottle so no need to worry about contamination. There's also a seal on top of the bottle opening.
• Stinky rotten egg odor is present once you open the bottle. 
• Relumins Advance White Active Glutathione Complex also contains ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid), NAC (N-Acetyl-Cysteine), Vitamin E, and Selenomethionine known as potent boosters to speed up the whitening process of the skin.
• No allergic reactions vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts, or whatsoever.
• It made my skin glowing the next day even if I only have 4 hours of sleep every night.
• I did not breakout before and after my menstrual period.
• The color of my freckles lightened a bit.
• After taking this religiously for a month, I can say that it lightened some of the insect bites in my legs. 
• It evened out my skin tone. 
• I'm already fair to begin with but Relumins gave a creamy and almost translucent white color to my pale and dull skin. 
• Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package. 

What I don't like:

• The price is a bit steep for budget-conscious individuals.
• This has issues before on FDA and I'm not sure if it's already FDA approved as of this writing.
• Not easily accessible, you have to purchase it online.
• There are individuals who are allergic to ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid).
• To be really honest, I have a hard time swallowing the capsule. It hurts my throat. For the first two weeks of taking Relumins, I feel like I have a sore throat after swallowing it.

Will I purchase? It's in the realm of possibility.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.25/5 rating. I like the effects of Relumins on my skin but I'm having a hard time swallowing it. Maybe it's just me that's why I always tell those who want to try this kind of whitening supplements to take at their own risk. The effects that I experienced will be different from what they'll experience because we have different body composition. 

     I'm satisfied with the results that I saw after taking Relumins Advance White Active Glutathione Complex after one month but hate the feeling while taking it. If you have the budget, you can try this.

Product Review: Tathion 307 Glutathione

     Hello, dearies! Here's another review of oral whitening supplement- Tathion 307. This brand of glutathione is famous in Japan but only sold with a prescription as this is already pure in form. From what I've read from different forums online, this is the exact supplement given to patients with liver disorders.  

     Anyhoo, I will not make the introduction long. After taking Tathion 307 for a month, I saw the results that I'm looking for. Even though it's one of the most expensive brands next to MET that I've tried to date, I will still highly recommend it. So if you have an extra budget to spend, try Tathion 307 :)

Before and after

Product Review: Tathion 307 Glutathione
The color of my arms is lighter in my observation. This photo was taken around 3 p. m. I'm using an ASUS phone, so the camera was set to beautification mode but the settings are in the lowest number. I can say that my skin has improved after 1 month of taking Tathion 307.

What I like:

• The packaging is travel-friendly and handy. 
• There's no funky or weird smell.
• The taste is sweet.
• It's easy to swallow. 
• It's Japan FDA approved. This country employs a strict standard in beauty supplements.
• No allergic reactions like breakouts and other adverser reaction especially upset tummy, vomiting, headache, nausea, or whatsoever.
• I did not see any cystic acne popping around my chin last menstrual period.
• It made me look less haggard even if I need to wake up early and have fewer hours of sleep the night before a special event.
• I saw a slight change in the color of my freckles but very minimal.
• After finishing 3 blister packs, I can say that there's a big difference on the color of my insect bites in my hand. 
• Tathion 307 glutathione made my skin luminous and glowing. I'm already fair, to begin with but it gave me a creamy and almost translucent white color. I can see one shade difference from my arms and my face when I look in my not so recent photos.
• I always have a good night sleep during the time I'm taking this supplement.
• My appetite did not change. 
• Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package. 
• It's Japan made. Never hear that there's a counterfeit of this brand in the market today.

What I don't like:

• It's expensive!
• Not easily accessible, you have to purchase it online.
• No ingredients in the packaging.

Will I purchase? It's in the realm of possibility.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 5/5 rating. Even though this is very expensive to maintain, you're assured of the results. If you're going to calculate, you're only taking 300 mg of pure glutathione every day but it will give you a radiant and bright skin. The results may vary from person to person and there are individuals who react faster to supplements and give them positive results. Again, if you have morena skin tone kindly expect three or more months before you see a drastic change in the color of your skin.

     Like what I always say in my previous reviews, there is also what they call a plateau where the effects of products that you will be not that effective as before. Glutathione supplement serves as an ant-oxidant in the liver. It cleanses the body from the toxins accumulated from pollution and chemicals so if you smoke, drink, and always stay late at night this supplement will first cleanse the toxins inside the body and have a tendency to slow down the whitening effect in your body. 

Have you tried Tathion 307 before? Hope you can share your experience :)

Product Review: NuWhite Glutathione

     So after taking Ishigaki Advanced Glutathione for a month, I decided to take another brand of glutathione for review- and err detoxification's sake. Whitening is an added bonus for me since I'm already fair, to begin with, but I always deal with uneven skin tone and I'm prone to insect bites, scratches, and paper cuts (because I have thin skin). These mild skin abrasions leave a mark on my skin and there are times that I based my glutathione experience if the wounds heal fast and lighten after a month.

     Another brand of glutathione was sent to me last February by Cheskas Store Online- Nu White Glutathione or Nu White Advanced Whitening L- Glutathione, Collagen, and Placenta. It's a kind of glutathione with added anti-aging ingredients. I started taking this second week of February and after a month, I can say I'm quite satisfied but I also have a sort of love-hate relationship with the results of this product. See my full review of Nu White Advanced Whitening L- Glutathione, Collagen, and Placenta below :)

Product Review: Nu White Glutathione

• A combination of the 6 powerful extracts will eliminate you from taking lots of beauty supplements. Nuwhite is the ALL-IN-ONE SUPPLEMENT you'll ever need. It provides skin whitening, anti-aging, skin renewal and moisturizing. It gives you beautiful skin in just one step.

 ingredients:  L- Glutathione, Collagen, Placenta Extract, Ascorbic Acid, CoQ10, Pomegranate Ellagic Acid

Product Review: Nu White Glutathione 

What I like:

• The packaging- it is color pink! It is tightly sealed and contains a leaflet that has information about the product.
• The scent- unscented.
• It's in a soft gel capsule that made it faster in absorption.
• NuWhite Glutathione contains L- Glutathione, Collagen, Placenta Extract, CoQ10, Pomegranate Ellagic Acid known as anti-aging supplements. So once you pop a pill, you're not only whitening your skin but also adding a boost in the anti-aging department. 
• No discomforts like vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts, or whatsoever while taking this supplement
• Made my skin glowing.
• This supplement gave me a good night's sleep. 
• I'm already fair, to begin with, but it made my skin pinkish/rosy white in tone.
• t lessened cystic pimples popping around my chin which I experience every month.
• It also maintained my skin color despite the hot humid weather. I'm always outside doing errands in the afternoon. 
• I also noticed that my wounds heal faster. I have thin skin and I easily get a scratch from sharp objects,
• Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package.

What I don't like:

• Because of the size of the soft gel, some may find it hard to swallow.
• The price can be steep for budget-conscious individuals.
• Not easily accessible, you have to purchase it online.
• No assurance if this product is BFAD approved.

Will I repurchase? It's in the realm of possibility.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.25/5 rating. This glutathione gave me a pinkish white effect which I'm not a fan because the pink tinge on my skin makes me think I got darker. Don't worry because you don't get dark or darker, okay? If you have a morena skin tone, it is best to use this brand for more than 3 months. The effectiveness of one product really varies from person to person. Since this supplement is a combination of different skin beautifying products, it will save you money and the effort of drinking different kinds of the supplement every day.

     But this pill contains only a few amounts of collagen, placenta, and ascorbic acid so don't expect drastic effects in the anti-aging department. It's good to know that it doesn't have ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid) because some are allergic to it. If you have money to spend, I recommend this brand to you because even if it does not contain the maximum dose of ingredients for the placenta, collagen, ascorbic acid, still there's an amount that will boost skin whitening and anti-aging.

Feature: Thiocell Premium Glutathione

     Glutathione is one famous whitening supplement that sells like hot cakes here in our country. Today, there are different preparations or type of glutathione- it can be topical, oral, intravenous, and the sublingual. If you're into skin whitening, I presume that you have tried the first three that I've mentioned above. These are all easily accessible in the market and in different dermatology clinics today. First time glutathione users always have a question in mind and it's all about the effectiveness of the brand they're taking.

     Well, if you're a a long time oral glutathione user and wants to try another form then it’s time to wake up to whiter, brighter and more radiant skin with Thiocell, the first and only glutathione supplement in lozenge form. Sharing with you a more information about the product that promises to help you achieve that radiant glow you’ve always wanted! More about Thiocell- the premium glutathione that truly delivers below :)

Feature: Thiocell Premium Glutathione 

Thiocell Glutathione

• Thiocell is the medical breakthrough patented by Dr. Theodore Hersh, a renowned professor of the Emory University School of Medicine, who has over 20 patents under his name in the development of glutathione and selenium products. 
• After years of research and clinical study, he discovered a newer, safer, and more effective way for the body to absorb and use glutathione.
• It is well known that glutathione offers countless benefits. Not only does it help in skin whitening, it also boosts your immune system,enabling the body to fight off free radicals and prevents further damage at the cellular level, which causes skin aging. 
• Proven to be the more superior product in the market, Thiocell is the first and only oral glutathione in lozenge form. 
• It is clinically proven to reduce pigmentation and achieve healthier, brighter and more beautiful skin in as early as 2 weeks. 
• The secret to Thiocell’s outstanding performance lies in three key fundamentals: the GCS synergy, Lozenge delivery, and the science of premium whitening.

Feature: Thiocell Premium Glutathione 
Php 2,600 30 Tabs per bottle good for 1 month use

GCS Synergy

• Thiocell is formulated using a safe but potent combination of L-Glutathione, Vitamin C and L-Selenomethionine. 
• This synergistic balance of key ingredients not only primes the body to absorb glutathione more effectively, but encourages the natural production of more glutathione in the body. 
• Enjoy double benefits of skin whitening, anti-aging, and an improved, healthy immune system. 
• Thiocell also contains Vitamin D and Grapeseed Extract, which boost the clinical benefits of glutathione. 

Lozenge Form for Optimal Absorption

     Other products may claim to be equal because they each contain 500mg of glutathione, but how much of it is really absorbed in the body? Thiocell differentiates itself in this aspect, promising optimal absorption, through its unique and more effective method of glutathione delivery– Lozenge form. 

     The grape-flavored lozenge is dissolved in the oral cavity and can be consumed safely. Since Thiocell is absorbed through the oral cavity, all the active ingredients enter the systemic circulation intact, and that ensures highest efficacy.

     “Unlike Thiocell, glutathione capsules lose much of its potency because when a capsule is ingested, it goes through several metabolic processes and passes through several organs like the stomach and intestines in the digestive tract. With Thiocell, the glutathione dissolves immediately in your mouth and is directly absorbed into the body through the oral cavity. This in effect reduces the damaging oxidative stress on organs,” adds Ramesh. Fast and effective, you are assured that nothing of the 500 mg of glutathione goes to waste.

Feature: Thiocell Premium Glutathione 
Director and COO of Brady Pharma Dr. Ramesh Krishnamurthy

What the experts have to say with Thiocell

• Thiocell is indeed an exceptional product, and has been clinically proven to be more effective. 
• No longer are you wasting essential nutrients that are lost in metabolism, and no longer will you need to suffer painful injections and bruising caused by IV glutathione injections. 
• You can achieve a healthier, more radiant glow safely and quickly. 

Feature: Thiocell Premium Glutathione 
Thank you to these dermatologists who enlightened us about Thiocell during the event.

   In the clinical study* conducted in the Philippines, which tested the efficacy of Thiocell in Filipino women, the results were far more convincing because patients experienced skin lightening in as early as two weeks. Thiocell undoubtedly delivers.  

     By end of 8th week, 100% of patients reported lighter and brighter skin. Even on the cellular level, the Mexameter readings (a tool used to measure the color of the skin) showed a significant reduction in melanin production and pigmentation. The studies also confirmed that Thiocell is safe for long-term use. 

     Supported by science, confirmed by doctors - Thiocell is, indeed, the more trusted product when it comes to achieving whiter, brighter and more beautiful skin. * CLINICAL STUDY: *International Journal of Dermatology 2016, 55, 153–157

     I've learned a lot during the event from the doctors and the makers behind Thiocell. They've answered some of the questions that I have in mind when it comes to taking oral glutathione supplements. I'm relieved to hear from the dermatologists that taking glutathione is not only for whitening purposes. It still depends on the lifestyle of an individual if the product will be effective or not. Take this simple example: You're taking oral glutathione but you are always under the sun and you don't wear sunblock, then it simply defeats the purpose. 

Thiocell is a product of Brady Pharma
Available in Watsons nationwide and can be purchased through www.lazada.com

Product Review: Ishigaki Advanced White Glutathione

     Hi dearies! Here's another review of whitening supplement that I will recommend if you have a tight budget and wants a creamy or almost a translucent complexion. Before I start, let me tell you that I'm already fair to begin with but my skin tone is uneven because I always fetch my son at school in the morning. I'm outside the house from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and during those times, the sun is really high. It's really hot as I can feel the humid air touching my skin.

     Anyhoo, I received a bottle of Ishigaki Advanced White Glutathione from Cheska's Online Store last December and I've decided to give it a shot. I'm already familiar with the brand even before I started blogging. I've visited different online forums and most of the members liked this variant of Ishigaki. They say that this one is really effective because it has ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid), known as a potent glutathione booster but some individuals have allergic reactions to it. Read full review of Ishigaki Advanced White Glutathione below :)

Product Review: Ishigaki Advanced White Glutathione
This photo was taken last February 6 around 12 noon inside the car at Mahogany market in Tagaytay. The weather was gloomy that day, there's a hint of sunlight but it's also raining. 

What I like:

• The price- the cheapest glutathione brand in the market today.
• The bottle is bigger than Ishigaki Premium Plus. It is tightly sealed once you purchase a bottle so no need to worry about contamination. There's a plastic seal outside the bottle cap and another seal inside on the top of the bottle
• Stinky rotten egg odor is present once you open the bottle. An indication that it is authentic and this is according to Ishigaki users who have purchased a fake one which I've read in an online forum.
• Ishigaki Advanced White Glutathione also contains ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid), L-cysteine, and N-Acetyl-Cysteine known as potent boosters to speed up the whitening process of the skin.
• No allergic reactions especially to ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid), vomiting, headache, nausea, breakouts, or whatsoever.
• It made my skin glowing the next day even if I only have 4 hours of sleep every night.
• No appearance of cystic acne last menstrual period.
• There's a slight change in the color of my freckles but not that drastic.
• After finishing 1 bottle, I can attest that marks from unwanted scratch have lightened a bit.
• It made my skin tone even. I took this last January 9 until February 9 and I noticed that my feet retain the color even if I wear flip flops while walking under the sun. 
• I'm already fair, to begin with but it gives a creamy and almost translucent white color of my skin. I can't say that I'm a shade lighter now because I still use the same shade of foundation. 
• Batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the package. There's also the TDC initials embossed at the bottom of the bottle packaging and this is one proof that the product is authentic.

What I don't like:

• Not easily accessible, you have to purchase it online.
• No assurance if this product is BFAD approved.
• There are individuals who are allergic to ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid).

Will I purchase? It's in the realm of possibility.

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.75/5 rating as of the moment as there is no assurance that it is BFAD approved. I would give a 5/5 rating if not for that. My rating depends on the price and overall experience too. In my opinion, the brand Ishigaki is one of the cheapest brands of glutathione in the market today. As like what I've said in my previous review of Ishigaki Premium Glutathione, the results vary from person to person. There are individuals who react faster to supplements and give them positive results. Again, if you have morena skin tone kindly expect three or more months before you see a drastic result.

     There is also what they call a plateau like with topical products that your body becomes immune to it and it's not as effective as before. Glutathione supplement serves as an antioxidant in the liver. It cleanses the body from the toxins accumulated from pollution and chemicals so if you smoke, drink, and always stay late at night this supplement will first cleanse the toxins inside the body that's why sometimes the whitening effect is slower than those who have low-stress levels and toxins in their body.

Have you tried taking Ishigaki glutathione as a daily supplement? Hope you can share your experience :)

Thiocell Glutathione #NewWayOfWhitening Launch

     Whitening products are selling like hotcakes here in our country. The pursuit of having paper white, flawless, and glowing skin is still in. It's a no brainer that if you're into whitening and wants faster results, then you prolly have step up the game into a higher notch. I know that some of you may resort to oral supplements other than topical skin care products for faster results. I presume that most of you have already seen or heard different brands of glutathione sold in the market today.

     The most common oral glutathione products are in capsule form. Some says that not all the contents of glutathione capsule will be absorbed by the body because of the metabolism process. I will not explain this further since I'm not an expert or a medical professional who have the knowledge to expound on that. What I'll share with you today is a new form of glutathione that promises to give you a 100% percent absorption rate because the moment a lozenge is being dissolved in the oral cavity, faster absorption will take place. Let me introduce to you, Thiocell Glutathione and discover a new way of whitening below!

Thiocell Glutathione #ANewWayOfWhitening Launch

What is Thiocell Glutathione?

• Thiocell is considered as the breakthrough premium Glutathione supplement in the Philippine market today that promises to be the most safe and effective whitening and anti-aging product.
• Thiocell is the brainchild of the immense medical studies of renowned American doctor, Dr. Theodore Hersh. Thiocell is one of Dr. Theodore’s 20 US Patented formulation to date. It is clinically proven and widely accepted as a master oxidant.
• Developed with American science and equipped with advanced technology, Thiocell is indeed the science of premium whitening. 
• It is the newest glutathione supplement that has clinical studies on its efficacy and safety published at the International Journal of Dermatology
• Thiocell is in lozenge form. It is like candy that dissolves in your mouth. The absorption starts the minute you take it, giving you the full dose of its power combination of Glutathione, Vitamin C and Selenium.

     If you're a long time glutathione user, I'm sure that you will be more interested to know the ingredients of each lozenge. Surprisingly, this glutathione has a unique combination because of L-Selenomethionine. It's the first combination that I've seen because common combinations are usually composed of L-glutathione, NAC, and ALA. See the ingredients below:

• L-glutathione (reduced) 500mg – an antioxidant that whitens your skin
• Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) 100mg – It aids in skin whitening and boosts our immune system
• Grape seed extract 25mg – has a collagen effect
• Vitamin D 200 IU -antiaging
• Vitamin E 10 IU -fat soluble antioxidant that is essential for maintenance of healthy skin.
• L-Selenomethionine 100 mcg -has anti melanoma activity, with protective effects against UV-induced DNA damage. It also reduces inflammation and pigmentation.
• Take one lozenge a day then let it dissolve slowly in the mouth. It is best taken at first thing in the morning.

     During the event, Dr. Kaycee Reyes of Luminisce Holistic Skin Innovations debunked the myths on skin whitening and glutathione. She shared some tips on how to take care of the skin from within. I've also learned that there are no studies claiming the effectiveness of oral glutathione in skin whitening should you wish to take it for a long span of time. You should take it for two-three months max then stop for a month or two then you may continue again. After her talk, we were introduced to Thiocell Glutathione and what are the benefits it can do to our body aside from whitening.
