Q: Skin Whitening Pills ?
asked by: elitehak on July 30th, 2007

Hello,

I have vitiligo, and I woudl like to lighten my skin. I have been reading a lot on hydroquinone, l-glutathione, etc. But either I see a post that says it worked for the person, or another one that says these are total scams.

I have discussed with my dermatologist. He said there no real studies about this in North America.

Is'nt odd that the Philippines seems to have a vast array of all these miracle products? Why would they be the only country?

Can anyone point me to scientific studies, etc. that prove or not that these pills, l-glutathione with vitmain C for example work?

Other dermatologist I have spoken, do not take seriously all the claims and most of them do not agree with all the claims of whitening the skin, etc.

ANy feedback would be appreciated, not necessrtialy a personal experience but scientific evidence, reports, studies, etc.

Thanks

Eli
