MediCard's My Pocket Doctor

     Hello, dearies! I guess some of my long-time readers knew that I have a dialysis patient father. Because of his condition, we are required to visit his doctor for monthly checkups. His doctor is, in my opinion, one of the best doctors in that hospital that we are frequent to. We always experience long queue in her clinic that's why there were times that we need to come back the next day after waiting for more than three hours. 

      If my father is not feeling well and needs only an immediate relief, going to the hospital can be a waste of time because of that scenario. Well, I think there's an answer to our dilemma with the launch of MediCard Philippines' My Pocket Doctor. More details about the latest kind of medical consultation below.

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 

What is Nu White Advanced Whitening L- Glutathione, Collagen, and Placenta Food Supplement?

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.

4D Non-Surgical Facelift by Luminisce

     No matter what age you are in, it is never too late or early to be the healthiest and best version of yourself. Visible signs of aging can start when we hit our mid 20’s to early 30's. This includes loss of skin elasticity and volume resulting in sagging skin especially on the cheeks and jaw, fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead, expression lines on the eyes and cheek, and more prominent nasolabial folds.
