I used to get glutathione injections from a Korean medispa in Los Angeles. I bought a package of 20. It also included vitamin C although I don't know the dose of either ingredient. I noticed visible difference after 8 IVs. The aftercare instructions were to wear copious amounts of sunscreen and to avoid alcohol - something about the oxidative stress of drinking negates the effect of glutathione. My skin was noticeably brighter - not lighter. People who hadn't seen me in awhile even mentioned how nice my skin looked, and not just in my face - the effect was all over my body, especially the neck area. The brighter luminosity made my skin appear more poreless and even-toned depending on ambient lighting conditions. It looked the same after 20 treatments at which point I stopped because the frequency required to maintain it gets expensive. Also, driving in once a week in LA traffic to get an IV gets old fast. My skin returned back to "normal" about a month later.
Not just in south korea but also in the Philippines, and might also be to the rest of east and south east Asia. At least in the Philippines, a lot of people take glutathione drips to get fairer skin.
Yup. I’ve been taking NAC capsules for a few years for fibromyalgia and depression. I’ve used several higher end serums containing glutathione, and I don’t think there was an improvement in hyperpigmentation.
I added Numbuzin 5+ and COSRX Galactomyces to my routine and I am telling you as a 51 year old woman, my skin tone within days became lighter, brighter and even. I’m not sure which one is doing more or if synergistically it is doing it together but wow. I’m hooked! Please do a vid on Galactomyces (and if combined with Glutathione if possible). I have stopped using tretinoin because my skin is looking so even and radiant now.
Hmm, interesting. I am 55. I also have been using Numbuzin No.5, and Secret Key Starting Essence that is 95% Galactomyces for approx. 1mo. No change so far. 🤷♀️
I suffer from long covid, glutathione has been one of the supplements that has helped improve my adrenal fatigue. Thank you so much for posting this video It has helped me a great deal to understand more.
It is VERY popular and common in Korea. People, mostly women, are getting weekly IV drips to maintain their “white” skin. It is also CHEAP. You can get 4 IVs to less than $40 in an average clinic and much cheaper in some others. So many many Koreans buy it in packages of a month or longer which is even cheaper and have it regularly.
Congrats on the new home, Dr Dray! The move sounded like hell, but hopefully was worth it. Thank you for the high quality of your videos. I always come to you for the facts!
Oh boy, i know glutathione is a big deal in the Philippines to get that fair skin but i was still surprised when Dr. Dray mentioned the 30 Filipina women who were tested for the study. A lot of women are getting that gluta IV drip, i for one is also thinking of gettng some coz my skin got a bit darker now. 😅
I took 250mg glutathione in the morning and 250mg at night for 2 weeks. I took it for health purposes, not skin lightening as I have very fair skin to start with. I felt great for the first week and one of the side effect was that I turned even whiter. However, after two weeks I started feeling overall muscle weakness. I felt out of breath just going one flight of stairs. I also experienced heart palps. It was very scary so I stopped it right away. I liked how my skin looked, white and glowing but not sure why the other side effects. Long term use, it is unclear if it downregulates your body’s own production of glutathione.
Having regular circadian rhythms and sleep for at least 6 hours+ and maybe taking NAD+ , could help with natural glutathione level. Since regular secretions of melatonin will help stimulate antioxidant enzymes, and NAD+ which help with proper energy production in cells, and cofactor for Sirtuins which could activate gene for antioxidant productions.
I ended up in the ER because of trombosis in one arm and shoulder as well as generalized inflammation of my veins due to IV with gluthatione and vitamine CV, six weeks later I´m still on anticoagulants (apixaban), and I also got scary liver values that were treated in just a week but all of this was expensive and time consuming and causing me a lot of pain and discomfort. I had these IV (3 in total) not because I needed it for my skin but because I happened to mention to my dermatologist, one I use to see for PRP when I´m in India, that I was continuously fatigued so she convinced me that vitamines "from the inside" would be more efficiant than the healthy food and supplements I was already having. First IV was painful, and my arm remained painful for over a week but the doctor convinced me it was all normal. After that she was away from the clinic so when the installation of the IV got more and more difficult as my veins became more and more inflamed, I worried and asked the staff if it was normal, sadly they did not understand anything (English or complicated medical issues) and told me it was all normal and we should continue. After the third time my arm almost doubled in size, was bright red and hurt a lot, in the hospital they found several places with trombosis. I was also told, what I should have understood by myself, that having an IV unless necessary is a true "no, no" because trombosis can happen even after medication with IV however in those cases IV is necessary. Also vitamines such as vitamine C are irritating (to the skin) to the veins.....
I got this in an IV from a naturopath who improperly administered the IV with no cannula and scraped my veins up moving the needle around a lot. I ended up losing my best vein. It permanently collapsed. I hope you recover fully soon.
I bought three of the cosex bottles when they were half off! I really see a difference in my skin, I’ve used one and a half bottles so far every day. My skin is so much more clear and youthful looking.
Large community support is worth many clinical studies. The thing is we never have crazy stories about using pre-clinical drugs anymore. If anything there are approved drugs that are truly messing people up.
Happy Wednesday! so funny, we always want what we don't have, I am pale white and always trying to use products to give me a healthy glo with some color. Envy others who have that naturally.
Have you tried astaxanthin, yet? I am taking it for other reasons, anyway, but I have heard that higher doses can have an effect similar to the infamous carrotene "orange" effect.
Where I come from, any girl with the slightest of tan is considered not attractive. I am tan all year long bc its my natural skin color but in my culture Im considered “black”. Unfortunately, thats just the way things are in much of Asia.
Basic simple no nonsense hydration is simply the best so I'm in for that basic boring yet effective way 😊❤🎉. Thanks for telling us your pov about glutathione Doctor Andrea.
Ah interesting video- I’ve heard of using it for many other purposes other than skin whitening though; such as anti/preventative cancer, insulin resistance, etc. Specifically liposomal glutathione in liquid form to be absorbed under the tongue.
Why did I use glutathione when I used to get NAD treatment but didn’t use it long enough to see these results… I switched to Meyers cocktails but it was all the craze with Asian Beauty Markets ❤❤❤ I love this upload I took it via the IV
When my husband was younger he worked at The Vitamin shoppe and he said so many women specifically Asian will buy this supplement so often and they told him it was for cleansing detox to help whitening their skin. Other people will buy NAC.
Thank you so much for talking 🦜 about this. Injection IV drip is growing crazily in Bangladesh, India ,Pakistan in hopes of lightening skin tone especially in Bollywood
Glutathione is very popular amongst Korean celebrities as a antioxidant and whitening agent and protective element against liver damage because of excessive drinking .
Naturally made or not, I'd be too wary to try something by intravenous route that hadn't been substantially studied or deemed safe by the FDA. Not to mention, needing to do it indefinitely.
Just this week I bought an eye cream from the Kbeauty brand Mary and May, which contains Tranexamic Acid, Vitamin C and Glutathione, and I had no idea what it was. You read my mind!!
I have used several skincare products with glutathione, but I can't say that I noticed any major difference compared with products without it. I mostly use Kbeauty and they love to put it in almost every brightening product, but I still think that active ingredients are doing more work
I had done one of the IV's and what they told me skin whitening is just the side effect and what it does it boosts your immune system, that's what they told me to do but I do notice significant improvement on my health.
Hi Dr. Yes, I've been using Mary & May's Eye Cream for 9 weeks every night. It contains Glutathione, Tranexamic Acid, Niacinamide, & Vitamin C. It claims it is clinically proven to improve visible dark circles, fine lines, & skin texture in just 2 weeks. Sounds great right? Sadly no results so far. I have taken many pictures in various lighting to no avail. Skin texture is also the same, but that is alittle harder to prove since my undereye is well hydrated. I should mention my darkness is not hereditary. One eye is significantly darker than the other. (On my primary sleeping side) I swim daily, and have hyperpigmentation (freckles/sun spots) in this area. I will update if I see any improvement as I have a lot of this product to use up. 🌞
I use an inexpensive glutathione/ niacinimide serum by APLB. I get it on Yesstyle. I really notice the hydration aspect and some lightening. I just started my second bottle. I use it once a day, but may try using it in the evenings, too. It just feels nice. I also use the snail mucin with it..
Don't forget to be more effective on your SPF application throughout the day because anything that is changing your skin tone may produce more sensitivity to sun light burning
As a man. My skin looked like trash after working night shifts, and after 2 moths of using Mizon snail ampule serum. My skin looked smoother, tighter, and the fine lines went away. The snail ampule also contains Copper Peptides, and for skin whitening I used the Kojic Acid soap. The original, the one with the geisha as a logo. And it works. I have vitiligo, and I used the kojic acid to lighten my skin after my nornal tone darkened after going to Florida, and I used the soap to have the tone match my vitiligo spots. And it works. You just have to use protective clothing, and sunblock.
It’s so ironic to only have a handful of study about this product in comparison to the hype. Atleast in my country Philippines, it safe to say, 5 of 10 people uses any form of glutathione
I pretty pale already and Gluthathione IV lightened my skin tone but it it didn’t budge my stubborn melasma. It made my melasma look darker in comparison. As a dark spots remedy, it didn’t work for me.
I've tried Hikari Drip, which is getting popular here in the Philippines. However, I noticed some side effects on my skin-it turned yellow, similar to jaundice. I suspected it affected my liver. Fortunately, my annual general check-up results came back normal after I stopped having the treatments (I had done four sessions). So, make sure to do some research before trying any IV glutathiones.
@@DrDrayzday you're welcome and yes I've gotten a lot of rest today so far because the storm is expected to Circle back and hit Myrtle Beach and that is probably when we're going to get a lot of rain which causes me a bit of flooding so I may be up much of the night. I know you're glad you guys have gotten past your little weather system for now
This was interesting, Dr Dray. I've never heard of this treatment. Thanks, as always, for all you do. Your broad range of topics is impressive! Happy Wednesday!! I hope you have a relaxing evening. 💜
I use the Glutathione Niacinamide Line frome the K-Beauty Brand APLB. They also have a Bodylotion in this Line. So fare I like it and would recommend it.
I take it orally as a supplement, 1,000 mg (3 capsules per day/serving size) . I don’t notice anything as I am fairly skinned already, I take for prevention. but heard it’s a strong antioxidant. 🤷🏻♀️ I do not have melasma on r dark spots or spotting in general as I am consistent with skincare and sunscreen. Now at 47 I carry a foldable brim hat too.
I took the brand Oxithion which provides Gluthathion 100mg, by placing it under the tongue, the effect was so obvious, my skin has never been so fair, the result is obvious just in 1 week! I am so shocked, thank god I did not take the IV drip which I almost did.
Andrea, I take NAC, which is deemed a precursor to Glutathione..I'm your skin tone and use sunscreen, mostly Cera Ve 50. I live in Newport Beach and spend a great deal of time in the sun. No notable age spots or melasma.
I was diagnosed with chemical toxicity (SEVERE MIGRAINES caused by Bromopropane and perchlorate found in my lab tests) and my Dr put me on 2,000 mg glutathione IVs once a week and once a month for maintenance. They have been a Godsend for me. Unfortunately they have made me slightly paler than I already was but I could care less as long as I’m migraine free. It never helped my sun damage, beauty marks or spots.
thank you so much for this. ive seen the journals, it is said you have to keep consuming it for the rest of your life unless the effect will be gone. it also wont work if you drink any kind of caffeine and milk. ive taken some collagen contains glutathione, and yes, it worked and gone once you drink latte/stop taking it even for a week 🤣 could you do white tomato also? thank you in advance. love your contents and your pronunciations! (my first language isnt english, but you speak so clearly, i can understand every word without subtitle 🥰)
Hi Jackie! Happy Wednesday!! I hope you had a beautiful day and that you are doing well. This was one of the worst days for humidity we've had. As soon as I went outside, my skin was sticky. Yuck! We had a couple of rain showers which only made it even more steamy. I had a busy surgery/ dental day. To name a few.....an adorable 6 mo old tabby kitty named Gizmo who was neutered, a terrier mix named Angel, a lab mix named Rizzie who both got their teeth cleaned and a golden retriever named Abby who had eye surgery. All were super sweet! I sure am ready to get off my feet and relax with you and Miss Fancy Pants. How about some tea, my dear, sweet friend? And my kitties would love for Miss Fancy Pants to join them for cuddles. Please, give her one from me. I hope you have a lovely evening and enjoy sweet dreams. Peace, joy and many blessings to you always. 💚🙏💚🕊💚☕☕🐈🐈💚☔💐💚🐾🐾💚
Hi doctor,you are very knowledgeable and I follow you for your deep and well researched videos. May I please ask if I can use snail mucin immediately before and after doing chemical peel? Thank you
Greetings Dr Dray hope u r well n 🖐Hello Every1 n Happy Wednesday😀n what a Wonderful Vid…. thanks n This is Gonna b so Helpful🔥👍n Continued Blessings to All💜….
I’m taking gultothoine capsules for hyper pigmentation. Just been teen days haven’t noticed a difference yet. I just want to get rid of pigmentation and I already have a beautiful golden complexion I hope it doesn’t ruin it
OMG i tried the IV Gluta for like more than 3 months. I had an IV gluta twice a week as they don't advice it daily to keep liver or kidney at safe condition. I would say it was effective - lightened my skin and I received compliments that my skin looked younger from people i haven't seen for a year. But if you stop it and go to previous routine like going to beach without sunblock etc. Things will go back to its previous state lol from my own experience. Now, I'm looking into using gluta capsules.
@@xoseanaxo5538 I really don't know. I have been reckless in terms of skin care. I go out under the sun a lot without sunscreen 😭. So I don't have the best skin now compared to the time I was taking the gluta drip. Also I won't go back to that regimine anymore I just feel that something isn't right. Id better use capsules.
I take b well network brand topical glutathione to help my liver. My friend works there and i wanted to try it. I started smearing it on my face. If you can get past the sulfur smell, it does work to "brighten" my skin but it's temporary! As soon as i get exposed to a mast cell trigger, my face turns red again. I hate the smell so i forget to do it but i like rubbing it on my stomach before bed. I have a very slow liver and it can't hurt!
I take now foods glutathione. It works quite well on uneven skin tone, pigmentation and dark spots, dark undereye cirles. and an overall healthy glow. I would never get an IV or any other form of mega doses because I don’t want to whiten my skin (I’m South Asian)
I know everyone is looking for a magic solution especially for hyperpigmentation. I’ve tried so much out there but the only thing that works for me is the doctor stander hydroquinone 😮 I wish there was something else but I get great results. Love your videos
Thank you so much for the video, dr Dray. Tere are only a few Glutathione product that are worth it out there, but it does not do skin whitening but does moisturise really well and is slightly brightening. Can you do the same for Galactomyces- another over hyped ingredient with bit unclear benefits.
Hi dr. Dray. I went to the derma to ask abt my hairfall and the doctor said I have telogen effluveum. My doctor prescribed me glutathione supplements to help with the hair loss 😅 will have some benefits for hair loss. Also gave me vit C and biotin.
Been taking glutathione oral capsules for about 4 months now, hoping to help lighten my hyperpigmentation, i noticed some improvement but I also started Senté and topical vitamin c. My skin doesn’t look lighter.
I have a question if things like glutathione or vit c or pantothenic acid r in cleansers they r not good enough bcoz how long can u be cleansing like 20-30sec 🤔... More beneficial in moisturizer and serums...... So the main question is why cerave use ceramides in cleansers i know they dont cause harm but cleanser dont remain on skin for long enough...... Just curious if dr dray u can remove confusion my confusion?????
I used to get glutathione injections from a Korean medispa in Los Angeles. I bought a package of 20. It also included vitamin C although I don't know the dose of either ingredient. I noticed visible difference after 8 IVs. The aftercare instructions were to wear copious amounts of sunscreen and to avoid alcohol - something about the oxidative stress of drinking negates the effect of glutathione. My skin was noticeably brighter - not lighter. People who hadn't seen me in awhile even mentioned how nice my skin looked, and not just in my face - the effect was all over my body, especially the neck area. The brighter luminosity made my skin appear more poreless and even-toned depending on ambient lighting conditions. It looked the same after 20 treatments at which point I stopped because the frequency required to maintain it gets expensive. Also, driving in once a week in LA traffic to get an IV gets old fast. My skin returned back to "normal" about a month later.
I had the same effect after the second dose. The blow and luminosity lasted for 2 months for me and I had 3 doses for me.
Sounds like my natural skin colour problem 😂😂😂

Not just in south korea but also in the Philippines, and might also be to the rest of east and south east Asia. At least in the Philippines, a lot of people take glutathione drips to get fairer skin.

Taking glutathione precursors glycine and n- acetylcysteine raises glutathione levels much higher than taking actual glutathione.
Are these available over the counter?
Yup. I’ve been taking NAC capsules for a few years for fibromyalgia and depression.

I've tried Hikari Drip, which is getting popular here in the Philippines. However, I noticed some side effects on my skin-it turned yellow, similar to jaundice. I suspected it affected my liver. Fortunately, my annual general check-up results came back normal after I stopped having the treatments (I had done four sessions). So, make sure to do some research before trying any IV glutathiones.
Glutathione is very popular in Korea and Asia in general
Another FANTASTIC vid! ❤
I would love more information on this also. In Korea this is very popular for skin lightening.
The lighting is so beautiful!
Oh, your hairdo is cute today! I've been blinded by lack of sleep😂😂 took me a moment!
Oh thank you! Hope you are able to get some rest
@@DrDrayzday you're welcome and yes I've gotten a lot of rest today so far because the storm is expected to Circle back and hit Myrtle Beach and that is probably when we're going to get a lot of rain which causes me a bit of flooding so I may be up much of the night. I know you're glad you guys have gotten past your little weather system for now
This was interesting, Dr Dray. I've never heard of this treatment. Thanks, as always, for all you do. Your broad range of topics is impressive! Happy Wednesday!! I hope you have a relaxing evening. 💜
I use the Glutathione Niacinamide Line frome the K-Beauty Brand APLB. They also have a Bodylotion in this Line. So fare I like it and would recommend it.
I take it orally as a supplement, 1,000 mg (3 capsules per day/serving size) . I don’t notice anything as I am fairly skinned already, I take for prevention. but heard it’s a strong antioxidant. 🤷🏻♀️ I do not have melasma on r dark spots or spotting in general as I am consistent with skincare and sunscreen. Now at 47 I carry a foldable brim hat too.
Any results for skin brightening?
I took the brand Oxithion which provides Gluthathion 100mg, by placing it under the tongue, the effect was so obvious, my skin has never been so fair, the result is obvious just in 1 week! I am so shocked, thank god I did not take the IV drip which I almost did.
What are the side effects of IV drip? And did you take any precautions w glutathione like avoiding sun altogether?
For a higher oral bioavailability you could try nac. Intake of nac can increase the production of glutathione in the body.
@ Dr Dray: how about taking N-acetylcystein instead of Glutathione?
Yes, I would love to know the answer to this.
Andrea, I take NAC, which is deemed a precursor to Glutathione..I'm your skin tone and use sunscreen, mostly Cera Ve 50. I live in Newport Beach and spend a great deal of time in the sun. No notable age spots or melasma.
trust your judgement in this matter, thank you for the video post. very helpful indeed
Thank you for this video - I had so many questions on this for hyperpigmentation.
Happy Wednesday, Dr. Dray❤
Happy Wednesday!
curtain bangs with face framing layers would suit you so much! give it a go!
I was diagnosed with chemical toxicity (SEVERE MIGRAINES caused by Bromopropane and perchlorate found in my lab tests) and my Dr put me on 2,000 mg glutathione IVs once a week and once a month for maintenance. They have been a Godsend for me. Unfortunately they have made me slightly paler than I already was but I could care less as long as I’m migraine free. It never helped my sun damage, beauty marks or spots.
Can you do a review of these turmeric and kojic acid pads that are all the rage for hyperpigmentation and African Black soap?
have an awesome Wednesday guys :)
thank you so much for this. ive seen the journals, it is said you have to keep consuming it for the rest of your life unless the effect will be gone. it also wont work if you drink any kind of caffeine and milk. ive taken some collagen contains glutathione, and yes, it worked and gone once you drink latte/stop taking it even for a week 🤣 could you do white tomato also? thank you in advance. love your contents and your pronunciations! (my first language isnt english, but you speak so clearly, i can understand every word without subtitle 🥰)
I’m from Ph. And these Filipino women are funny they made it there to you.
Do more on glutathione please
I’m just going to try & grow old gracefully but I’m already old so there ya go!😁

@whitneybrown4067 Happy Wednesday my Friend!! Hope Your Day is Going Well!! Many Blessings Always!!🙏💜💜💜💜🙏
Hi Jackie! Happy Wednesday!! I hope you had a beautiful day and that you are doing well. This was one of the worst days for humidity we've had. As soon as I went outside, my skin was sticky. Yuck! We had a couple of rain showers which only made it even more steamy. I had a busy surgery/ dental day. To name a few.....an adorable 6 mo old tabby kitty named Gizmo who was neutered, a terrier mix named Angel, a lab mix named Rizzie who both got their teeth cleaned and a golden retriever named Abby who had eye surgery. All were super sweet! I sure am ready to get off my feet and relax with you and Miss Fancy Pants. How about some tea, my dear, sweet friend? And my kitties would love for Miss Fancy Pants to join them for cuddles. Please, give her one from me. I hope you have a lovely evening and enjoy sweet dreams. Peace, joy and many blessings to you always. 💚🙏💚🕊💚☕☕🐈🐈💚☔💐💚🐾🐾💚
Hi doctor,you are very knowledgeable and I follow you for your deep and well researched videos. May I please ask if I can use snail mucin immediately before and after doing chemical peel? Thank you

Wouldn’t it also cause pigment to go from your hair causing grey hair?
Good morning Dr Dray ❤
I’m taking gultothoine capsules for hyper pigmentation. Just been teen days haven’t noticed a difference yet. I just want to get rid of pigmentation and I already have a beautiful golden complexion I hope it doesn’t ruin it
OMG i tried the IV Gluta for like more than 3 months. I had an IV gluta twice a week as they don't advice it daily to keep liver or kidney at safe condition. I would say it was effective - lightened my skin and I received compliments that my skin looked younger from people i haven't seen for a year.
But if you stop it and go to previous routine like going to beach without sunblock etc. Things will go back to its previous state lol from my own experience.
Now, I'm looking into using gluta capsules.
How’s the side effects besides going back to your complexion when stop taking it?
liposomal or suppository is prob best
@@xoseanaxo5538 I really don't know. I have been reckless in terms of skin care. I go out under the sun a lot without sunscreen 😭. So I don't have the best skin now compared to the time I was taking the gluta drip.
Also I won't go back to that regimine anymore I just feel that something isn't right. Id better use capsules.
I take b well network brand topical glutathione to help my liver. My friend works there and i wanted to try it. I started smearing it on my face. If you can get past the sulfur smell, it does work to "brighten" my skin but it's temporary! As soon as i get exposed to a mast cell trigger, my face turns red again. I hate the smell so i forget to do it but i like rubbing it on my stomach before bed. I have a very slow liver and it can't hurt!
I use glutathione soap. It was from a small maker in San Diego and it’s in bar form. I take off my makeup with it.
What a great video as always ❤
I inject my self and yes my skin got two shade lighter . But it don't remove malesma they just get lighter but they still there
There is studies that glutathione might disrupt melanocytes function and cause melanoma what is your opinion about this?
I take now foods glutathione. It works quite well on uneven skin tone, pigmentation and dark spots, dark undereye cirles. and an overall healthy glow. I would never get an IV or any other form of mega doses because I don’t want to whiten my skin (I’m South Asian)
I know everyone is looking for a magic solution especially for hyperpigmentation. I’ve tried so much out there but the only thing that works for me is the doctor stander hydroquinone 😮 I wish there was something else but I get great results. Love your videos
Thank you so much for the video, dr Dray.
Tere are only a few Glutathione product that are worth it out there, but it does not do skin whitening but does moisturise really well and is slightly brightening.
Can you do the same for Galactomyces- another over hyped ingredient with bit unclear benefits.
I use glutathione soap for my hyperpigmentation, its so strange but its helped my acne too
Which one do you use?
@@igneousfury7864 relumins 5 dual soap on Amazon
As a gluthatione injection business owner this was interesting, I do see change but mostly it is glowing and less on whiting
I ❤ COSRX snail mucin! I use it with retinol!
Thank you doc from india❤🇮🇳 😘
this is informative. thank you!❤
I take a glutathione supplement every day with my other supplements.
How many mgs of glutathione do you take? Do you also take a Vitamin C supplement?
so what's the result?
Glutathione is very popular here in The Philippines...Filipinos loves to have a fair skin
Can glutathione get rid of dark patches on skin or is it a preventative measure?
Also, is S - aceyl glutathione the safest option for long term?
Thanks for helping me save money
Hi dr. Dray. I went to the derma to ask abt my hairfall and the doctor said I have telogen effluveum. My doctor prescribed me glutathione supplements to help with the hair loss 😅 will have some benefits for hair loss. Also gave me vit C and biotin.
Will surely buy this
I developed skin hyperpigmentation with the very 1st IV glutathione! It’s been 10 years and it’s still all over my neck!
Been taking glutathione oral capsules for about 4 months now, hoping to help lighten my hyperpigmentation, i noticed some improvement but I also started Senté and topical vitamin c. My skin doesn’t look lighter.
How many MGs of glutathione? Do you also take oral Vitamin C?
@@noneofbusiness7739 1000mg and yes I do take vitamin c orally.
@@noneofbusiness7739 1000mg and yes i take vitamin c orally
Hello Dr Dray,
Could you please suggest newborn skincare brand which is good
Yayy doctor ❤❤
Happy Wednesday!
I have a question if things like glutathione or vit c or pantothenic acid r in cleansers they r not good enough bcoz how long can u be cleansing like 20-30sec 🤔... More beneficial in moisturizer and serums...... So the main question is why cerave use ceramides in cleansers i know they dont cause harm but cleanser dont remain on skin for long enough...... Just curious if dr dray u can remove confusion my confusion?????
I used 1000 mg capsules, and it helped fade my acanthosis nigricans, which I got after my last pregnancy
1000 mg daily???
To my understanding oral Glutathione isn’t absorbable?
