Product Review: Ishigaki Amino Classic White Glutathione (New Packaging, Label and Barcode)

    And the consistent effective glutathione brand in the Philippine market award goes to... Ishigaki! Hooray! Yes, this brand that was first introduced 10 years ago is still one of the most affordable and effective brands to date. My first review of Ishigaki Glutathione Whitening Supplement was 2015 and for a span of five years, I have seen how the brand improved its packaging and formulation one after the other. This brand is also a favorite amongst beauty bloggers in the Philippines and Pinay Youtubers are well.

     Ishigaki Glutathione is has been FDA approved since 2017 that's why aside from the certification from FDA, the variants have been repackaged, reformulated, and received a GMP seal. I presume that with all these changes, Ishigaki fans have this burning question if it has the same whitening and glowing effect after finishing one bottle. Will the new variant give the same creamy or almost translucent complexion and faster results in as early as 2 weeks? Cheska's Online Store, the trusted online shop of all things beauty sent me a bottle to try and hopefully answer that question. So here are my thoughts after taking Ishigaki Amino Classic White religiously for a month.

Product Review: Cathy Doll Ready 2 White Lightening Foam Cleanser

     Hello dearies! Here's a quick review of my current fave facial wash- Cathy Doll Ready 2 White Lightening Foam Cleanser. It's one of the promising products in Cathy Doll's Ready 2 White line that was launched weeks ago together with their first Filipina brand ambassador Elisse Joson.

     A no-fuss and easy to use foam cleanser that's loaded with skin-beautifying ingredients. If you're into brightening skincare products, this is a must-have! I've been using this for more than a month now and I'm happy that it did not break me out or whatsoever. It's the kind of facial wash that's okay to incorporate if you are new in the whitening department.

Product Review: Nuwhite S-Acetyl Glutathione

     Ah, glutathione! The most sought-after whitening pill since time immemorial. If my memory serves me right, this skin beautifying supplement has been serving the Philippine market for more than a decade and until now. Filipinas who want to lighten their skin still choose glutathione because of its main function in the body- as a master anti-oxidant. The skin whitening/lightening part is just a bonus but a big factor in giving the user a flawless, smooth and radiant skin.

     I've reviewed a lot of glutathione in the past and over the years, brands are doing their best in reformulating or innovating their product. From the pure form of glutathione to reduced L-glutathione with alpha-lipoic acid, collagen, placenta, and alpha-arbutin combinations, now comes the newest form S-Acetyl Glutathione with the mission of addressing the lower absorption rates of reduced L-Glutathione. Presenting the new version of Nuwhite, the first one to introduce this to the Philippine market in the form of an all-in-one supplement- Nuwhite S-Acetyl Glutathione. More information about the brand and why I highly recommend this brand :)

Product Review: Mestiza The Healthy Skin Soap

     Here's a resounding YES for another soap review! If my memory serves me right, the last time I made a review was a year ago that's why I'm excited to share another brand that has been in the market for years now. I was intrigued because my Mama swears that it's effective on maintaining the tone and texture of her skin. She's 62 and doesn't look her age at all.

     Enter MESTIZA, a herbal soap that's been in the market for years now known to be more than just a whitening soap because it contains natural ingredients not only for whitening but for combating other skin concerns. MESTIZA is proudly Philippine made. Made from all-natural ingredients that promote healthy skin. The main ingredient is world-famous, and may probably even be considered 'superfood' - Virgin Coconut Oil and high-grade coconut oil. My thoughts after using Mestiza Prime Scarlet Rose variant below.

Product Review: Shiseido Benefique White Bloom

     I'm totally giving Japanese beauty supplements a thumbs up when it comes to whitening department even though it's not budget-friendly, it delivers. The results are visible that will make you consider it as one of your maintenance beauty supplement after achieving a lighter and glowing skin tone in just a month of taking it.

     One of the Japanese supplements that I will highly recommend is another baby from Shiseido. Shiseido Benefique White Bloom is one of their premium beauty supplements to date. According to them, it's the combination of their infamous Purewhite W (an anti-oxidant) plus Whisis LCEX (l-cysteine) known to be potent boosters of glutathione that targets mostly freckles and pigmentation caused by sun exposure. I took this supplement for a month and amazed with the results. More information about Shiseido Benefique White Bloom below.

Product Review: Gluta-White 500

     I've made a lot of whitening supplements here on my blog. The most famous whitening supplement is glutathione and I presume that you already know what it does to your body aside from whitening. Glutathione is the favorite whitening pill of many Filipinas. It comes in different forms now and if you read the ingredients, one or more boosters are combined with glutathione to make the effect faster.

     For today, I'll be sharing my thoughts on Gluta-White 500- the first brand of glutathione that's listed on MIMS and does not contain any boosters in the ingredient. This one is pure L-glutathione in every capsule. If you're a beginner in taking whitening supplements, I highly suggest this brand because if allergic reactions arise, there's only one culprit. No other ingredients to blame. Hahaha! But seriously, glutathione alone can be effective as long as you take it with Vitamin C. Full review of Gluta-White 500 below :)

Product Review: Vitapack Facial Mask (Collagen + Arbutin + Q10 Perfecting Peptide)

     There are so many facial masks available on the market today. It's easy to buy all the kinds and variants as most of the skin care brands (local and international) are offering facial masks that target different skin problems

     You can find whitening, anti-aging, anti-acne, hydrating, glowing, and the list goes on for facial masks. When looking for a mask, I make sure that it's affordable, multifunction, and easy to use. The facial masks that I've tried before range from cheap to expensive ones but only a few give great results. I think I found another mask that will always be on my essential list. Meet Vitapack Facial Mask (Collagen + Arbutin + Q10 Perfecting Peptide), the mask that I will never get tired of using and will highly recommend to whiten, moisturize, and give an instant glow on your skin.

Product Review: Vitapack 8-in-1 Whitening Lotion

     Hi dearies! It's been a year since the last time I reviewed a whitening lotion. I have this thing of using a brand religiously for months or years if I experienced positive results. If you'll look into my whitening lotion review archive, you'll only see a few brands because most of the brands that I've tried are cost-effective.

     If you're really serious in your whitening game, taking glutathione supplement is not enough especially if you want to see drastic results. In fact, a combination of different whitening products for the whole body is recommended for daily use to see faster and maximum results. Have you read my review of Vitapack Megawhite and Vitapack Beauty? These products from Vitapack are cost-effective and if taken religiously, you'll see promising results. To complement those supplements, the brand also has Vitapack 8-in-1 Whitening Lotion. See my full review below.

Product Review: Ishigaki Amino Classic White formerly Ishigaki Advanced Ultra White

    Hi dearies! I'm sure that you've heard the news that Ishigaki Glutathione is now FDA Approved. Aside from the certification from FDA, the variants have been repackaged, reformulated, and there's a seal that says "authentic".

     I received a lot of queries on my review of the previous Ishigaki Advanced Ultra White if the new Ishigaki Amino Classic White has the same whitening and glowing effect after finishing one bottle. Will the new variant give the same creamy or almost translucent complexion and faster results in as early as 2 weeks?
