SKIN LIGHTENING PILLS TO THE RESCUE

18 Apr 2019


Skin lightening pills became the rave of the moment when people discovered that it was one way to achieve a flawless skin. While there are different ways to achieving a flawless skin, the pills are  actually one way to supplement our body's dietary intake and help stay healthy from the inside. Most skin lightening pills are basically like your normal skin supplements such as Vitamin D, Niacin-amide, Hyaluronic supplements and others. The difference is more like, some certain skin lightening ingredients such as Gluthathione, Vitamin C, Bearberry and other lightening ingredients have been added to it.This is probably the reason why you see most skin lightening pills containing a host of other ingredients, in addition to the two most popular lightening ingredients.

The most popular skin lightening pills are those which contain L-Gluthathione, Vitamin C and Collagen. Usually, taking only one of the above seem not to be effective if not combined with another. For example, when taking skin lightening supplements containing just Gluthathione, it should be taken with either containing Vitamin C supplements. Some lightening pills contain as  as 15000mg of L- Gluthathione per capsule or tablet with the recommended dosage being 2 or 3 per day., depending on the brand. While some contain Gluthathione, Vitamin and Collagen in one capsule, other brands would advise you to take another dietary supplement along with it.

Taking of Vitamin C alone can also help lighten the skin gradually but it isn't as effective as combining it with L-Gluthathione and should be above 1000mg per day. to attain a fairer skin, the dosage of the Vitamin C that you have to take depends on your weight. 
How to determine the amount of Vitamin C that you need to take to make the skin fairer: Your weight in KG x 40mg of Vitamin C = Amount of Vitamin C needed to whiten skin tone. For example: 55 kg x 40mg of Vitamin C = 2200 mg per day
As an antioxidant and for skin brightening – take 1000mg-2000mg per day.

Getting original lightening pills is also an hurdle. While original Vitamin C pills can be obtained from a reputable pharmacy, the same cannot be said for Gluthathione. To get the original, it is advisable to buy from a verified stockist or directly from the manufacturer. A source said a genuine Gluthathione pill has a foul smell when opened if it is in a capsule form.
