Some people can tan their skin if they prefer to be dark? But why some people who prefers to lighten their skin is criticized? What’s wrong with people lightening their skin?
@@Nekole1 same
@@Nekole1 nobody will understand what darkskin people go thru. How was the gluthathione iv tho?
@@Nekole1 can you recommend any brands?
@@Nekole1 wow. Thank you so muchhhh. I screenshotted the list. I’m gonna check on Amazon for it
Because nobody excluds you or demeans you or insults you because you have white skin that is tanned. People ask you where you've spent your holidays, or which tanning salon you go. That is not the case for non-white people who lighten their skin. The standards are set by a traumatic history that dictates white=beautiful/desirable/high in the social hierarchy. You set up a false equivalence that refuses to think the deleterious effects and aftereffects of imperialism and colonialism (on top of local oppressive structures).
Most people who use glutathione don’t even have hyperpigmentation, they have naturally darker skin tone and because of colorism in their countries they want to lighten their skin color.
I have a friend that's, I can't remember where she's from exactly but she's asain. She said that here in the US how a lot of people want a tan but in her country if you have a tan, that usually means your poor and your so tan bc you work outside in the sun a lot. Also that her and her family would carry umbrellas when they went outside. Idk anything about it that's just what she told me but I had never heard about anything like it before.
@@jennj2049while I encourage their sun protection habits it makes me sad that they feel to lighten the or natural skin tone.
It's true about Asian cultures carrying umbrellas and other forms of sun protection such as sun hats and visors. I not only have a Bachelors of International Relations but I've traveled around the world many many times and can confirm this with my own eyes. I've even been complimented on my super pale skin by Asian women (even State-side in nail salons) and at first I wasn't sure how to take the compliment but I've come to learn and realize it's really a cultural thing. The more you know! Reference, I'm a Mac N3/N4, Hourglass Cream foundation and SPF vampire lol
Why is it perfectly okay for White people to want darker skin because Western beauty standards dictate tan = pretty, healthy, beautiful; but colorism if Asian people want lighter skin because Eastern beauty standards dictate pale = pretty, healthy, beautiful?
@Ayu Yulianti I'm sorry. Don't let anyone define you. You are perfect. People that bully and make fun of others are insecure about themselves. Don't even worry about people like that. Hurt people hurt people. It may be ⚡ stormy🌩️ now but it never ☔ rains 💧 foreverr🌈 🌞 hope your having a great day 💕
When I saw glutathione in the title, I know my country (Philippines) is going to be in it. I've been waiting for this. I am sick and tired of ads and commercials promoting skin whitening using already fairer actresses/celebrities, there are tons of them, targeting the low self esteem of the younger generation of Filipinos, programming them to believe that to be fairer is to be beautiful. Whitening is big business here.. it has got to stop. Thanks for this evidence-based commentary on the subject.
Cyn Sdelr 💙
I agree.. not only that, having white skin in our country ( Philippines) became a status . If you have fair skin , people may think you belong to high status,got high pay jobs and etc. While having darker skin belongs to a poor status and low pay jobs..
Same here at India 😞
Same here at indonesia. 🥺
@mihn woo Did your skin texture improve by using glutathione? Are you using oral or topical solution? Please answer
I just want my arms, face and neck colour to match the rest of my body
:(
So use a freakin' sunscreen!

Just sounds like your body is a certain color. Your tummy and back will naturally be another color. Just remove hyperpigmentation in the most GENTLE way possible and don't overdo it
@@dodgedabullet670 nope sun screen is bad for your skin. Humans evolved to live out in the sun it's not going to kill you unless you over do it and happen to live in a place with high UV light.
same
I just want an even skin tone. I don’t care about being lighter. Just tired of my hyperpigmentation
Hey there! Glutathione can definitely help with hyperpigmentation, evening out your skin tone, and improving the overall quality of your skin. Glutathione is also known as the body's "master antioxidant". It fights off free radicals - the damaging molecules responsible for cell and tissue damage resulting in wrinkling, inflammation, melasma, and hyperpigmentation. Glutathione can also help to even out the skin tone by lightening dark spots and limiting the production of pigmentation. Hope this helps! :)
@@AmandeanNaturalProducts thanks. I started taking it about 6 wks ago and I can see a slight difference
@@cherrylynn7173 could you update us? How’s your skin, and do you feel any different?
@@cherrylynn7173 update?
@@cherrylynn7173 what kind did u use?
I dont want my skin to get lighter . i want my skin to be brighter if i make sense . more bright and more glow . i know so many darker skin people that have beautiful glowing color.
Take collagen powder
Glow is what I’m looking for
Lightening and brightening both functions through the inhibition of melanin production
Nice copey language
Anyway that glow is from
Collagen and Hyaluronic acid content.
And the fsct is,
Scientifically we know loght colours REFLECT more light while dark colours absorb more,
So you will alwyas look more glowy with a lighter skin colour
- hope that answers the question brother , Dr zakir Naik peace be upon Him
I'm from the Philippines where colorism, discrimination and colonial mentality is rampant. It's really toxic. Advertisements lighten the skin of celebrities who you know to have more tan skin naturally. Some celebrities are coming forward, being more vocal about liking their brown skintone, but most people are still in the fairer-is-better mentality. It's used to judge people, from their personality to their likelihood to be hired in certain industries. The scar left by colonialism is deep.
Same thing in India as well
@Kathe • I think we shud not generalize ...after all only the colonised know what they went thru...each to her own
@Kathe • I'm Filipino here in the Philippines with a dark skin tone. Spain, USA, and Japan colonized us, and most of our colonizers had white/light skin. It also stems from classicism since the thinking is pale = rich, does not need to work while if you have dark skin it means you are poor because you are working in the sun. It's really messed up but that's the general thinking. We want to lighten our skin because the beauty standard in SEA/East Asian countries is to lighten your skin as much as possible, even though we live in a tropical country.
A lot of people are also discriminated against here because of their skin color, and the trauma of that discrimination makes people seek whitening problems. Some employers are also biased towards employers with light skin because they are believed to be more capable and smarter (though that is not true at all since it depends on the person, not their skin color) so it also has to do with employment prospects
I'm from the Philippines and Im Half Spanish Chi-Fil. Im super pale. Guess what other people call me?
Filipinos call me "Zombie". "sadako". "Multo" means ghost in tagalog. They claim that i use glutathione and say Im lying when I say I don't. Filipinos laugh at me for being too white and look at my legs and say " You're so white you look like a ghost."
Kupal amp
Bc they say if ur not light skinned ur not asian 🤪😂😂
The Philippine people have such a lovely skin tone, it’s hard to imagine any would want to lighten it.
I guess it’s just cultural unflattering. My boss from Hong Kong went to USC. She told me in her freshman year she got tan because it’s popular in LA. Then she went back to Hong Kong for summer, and her family said she looked like a Philippine worker.
We have to go back to the 1500s’ when Spaniards ruled the Philippines for a long time, Filipinos have brown skin became slaves. Spanish with white skin are the masters. Then after the Spaniards sell the Philippines to the Americans, the white skin people, same story goes. After American the Japanese took over, again white skin, same story. Filipinos have been slave by white men for such a long time hence it was wired in their brains that white skin means wealth. Wealthy are beautiful. I don’t understand it as well but that’s where the obsession came from.
Asians like light skin color , which is mostly for East Asia area,China, Korea and Japan
sumgirl 1234 what?
The Truth get out of here and stop it.
"It’s partly to do with colonialism and in certain countries, people are seen as higher in social status if they have light skin. If you worked outdoors, you were more likely to be tanned and having fair skin was a sign of your wealth. It is also combined with how the common beauty ideals we see are often Western beauty ideals."
@Pedro Parica Since most far east people look similar in skin tone.The only difference is working outside..like in Europe.
But the stigma was enhanced into a phenotypical superiority under colonialism.
Look at India..most people there are medium to dark skinned..but since the British went there and promoted fair,ultra light skin even though maharajahs + wives were dark also.Their TV and culture promotes light skin and actively bully and treat people with brown skin differently..... medium/dark brown women...
Not that simple. Africans have always prized lighter skin too.
@@cretan982 no. We only started doing that post-colonization and even then it's not as extreme as the Asians
I am also a glutathione user before (may it be in capsule or through what they called IV push glutathione). To be honest, upon using the above-mentioned, my skin becomes lighter, but after I stopped, my skin gets back to its original tone. I am actually thinking just last week to try the IV therapy, hahaha but I took more research about it, and it's not yet proven that it's really for whitening skin (I saw on other doctors' videos that glutathione is taken by patients with cancer).
So now I realized, my skin is still beautiful without taking the risk, I am not against from those people who uses glutathione, because I, myself, became once a user too.
But I won't take any glutathione products anymore, It's even quite expensive to maintain though.
Gladly, I didn't take glutathione for more than a year.
Now, I am using collagen products, this is much safer :)
When you stopped gluthatione did you get darker than before or just return to your original colour?
@@johnfreeman3147 my skin didn’t get darker. When I stopped taking glutathione my skin backs to its original color.
@@jessaobiena3480 thanks
Was this with oral glutathione?
How much the time take to make your skin back to your original colour after you stop consumed it?
Yeah for chemo
Hi Dr. Dray! I’ve been waiting for you to talk about glutathione. Sadly people use glutathione in Asian countries for skin whitening but I noticed great results with overall health and clear skin with oral intake with vitamin c.
How do you take the vitamin c?
Julia Ayieta Hi there! I take both at night and I love the brand Ester-C 1000mg👍🏻
Mari Lamar Thank you so much and over the glutathione which brand are you taking? And do you use it all through or do you sometimes stop taking them? Sorry for all this questions.....am trying to uniform my whole skin a little bit brightening but not whitening. Thank you again in advance 😘
Julia Ayieta GNC brand 500mg is a good one and it’s made in Japan so you can trust the quality. No worries, there’s really not that much forums about this in the US so glad I could help❤️
Mari Lamar Thank you so much😘😘 will definitely try them
I was actually planning to get an appointment for IV glutathione tomorrow, Now I changed my mind, thanks for this Dr. dray, you are one of the people that I sincerely trust here in youtube ♥️
Im Haitian Dominican Armanien French....i love my thick, african ancestral, highly melenated skin that im in...no once could ever tell me my caramel sun kissed skin isnt beautiful...but i realize that revelation/ proclamation is a blessing...that many people do not feel the same about their richly pigmented skin...Frankly, its so sad and unfortunate that so many countries/ culture have been brainwashed to view themselves as inferior from their fairer skinned counterparts....it is just so sad!
People risking their health to be socially accepted...wow!
Dr, i absolutely love your channel and im so happy you are shedding light on glutathione, these issues surrounding its use for skin lightening, and the side effects of using some of these products.
Thank you for using your platform to educate the masses
Peace & Blessings

*i wrote a paper in college on self degredation among ethnic cultures..doing the research over that year was profound, heartbreaking, and quite alarming..it was difficult for me to remain non biased..and equally as difficult to conduct the interviewing some days and synthesizing the information from self reported questionairres...
wow, it was too deep and definitely something i wish more healthcare professionals and doctors (derm, pysch, fam medicine, etc) were speaking up and educating their patients about.
I have personally witnessed little children here in Miami FL who have started bleaching while in middle school right along with their parents..it is all just so disheartening.
Okay, jumping off my soapbox now lol. Have a good day🤗😍
I wonder what the mechanism is for glutathione to cause liver and kidney failure? It naturally occurs in the body and functions to rid the body of certain exogenous compounds protecting the body from potential toxicity. My guess is that these glutathione products are not pure and probably laced with other compounds which is not uncommon for unregulated products like this
Only get regulated glutathione from a REAL doctor! if you get the backdoor stuff you potentially can die you dont even know they are actually injecting you with glutathione.
Probably the dose is way too high or the product is bad with dangerous ingredients
our body naturally produces glutathione. Imagine you got too much of it. Like taking vit. C, could have bad effects on our body if we have too much of it. It's best to consult your doctor first before taking them to test what dosage should be taken
@@aprilalegre1686people can literally mehadose vitamin C at 2 grams a day and be find
I get a glutathione push after Myers Cocktail IVs. It helps clear the liver from the load of Lyme die-off. I've never noticed my skin lightening.
did it burn while going in? I just had my first dose today for detoxing my liver, I could not tolerate the IV push of glutathione.
@@rosemarierichardson9354 wym burn like your skin was burning ?
I take liposomal glutathione because I have Lyme as well but not iv
In my country ( italy ) glutathione is highly advertised as a powerful anti aging. No mention of skin whitening effect. I'm confused...
Because italians are already white you
Nincompoop
Dr Dray is the new Benjamin Button, with each passing year she gets younger.
And I'm pretty sure it's not botox or any procedure or surgery.. blown my mind
Mar Teumar its all the sunblock
Its so true...but don't forget...sunscreen...it works you can wack what you like on your skin but protecting it how she does with a ton of sunscreen a hat and even a shawl over your shoulders will keep you much younger than any potion you care to come up with..
I prooved it at age 33 I started with a full oxide sunscreen hat and shawl at that time I had brown marks all over my face and chest...after 3 years of looking like a white ghost...when sunscreen free at night my skin was brown spot free and clear...I kid you not...she is perfectly right...you HAVE!! to use a tone of mineral sunscreen
PS I live in Aussie...so I know!! iron oxide all the way
How old is she?
But maybe shes 28...lol she looks about that
Stacey Goodwin she looks 40 dont lie to yourself🤦🏽♀️
They do it because of a cultural colorism in Asia and the whole thing is something on the lines of: darker people being farmers or just working under the sun and pale people having a higher social status that usually could afford not to have to work under the sun for a living.
In western countries used to apply the same theory in times of colonialism but nowadays rich people usually look tanned because they can afford the leisure time to go on vacations and get darker meanwhile poor people cannot. So poor people in western countries now are the pale ones sitting in a cubicle working the entire day and getting no sun. (Obviously there are exceptions to everything, like western construction workers being poor and tanned).
So colorism changes depending on people’s jobs (sun exposure) related to status.
marythe00001 the irony can not be overstated smh
I don’t know about lightening but it’s the only oral antioxidant I’ve ever taken that helped with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, problem is because it prevents tyrosinase I feel like it may have slightly worsened my depression because of it being a precursor to dopamine; so it solved a problem and created another. Obviously I’m aware of microdermabrasion and micro needling for scars, but when you’re taking isotretinoin you’re options are limited.
How dopamine induce depression?
I have been on the fence about whether or not I'd sub to you, especially after hearing your take on this and on MicroRollers. I feel like this entire video is all about pushing a narrative about how we should all 'embrace our own skin color' with a little bit of fear mongering thrown in here and there just for good measure. Loving and accepting oneself wholly and completely is undoubtedly a noble thing in and of itself, but it just cannot be passed off as facts.
I have been taking Oral Glutathione supplements for years on end now, not for Skin Whitening Purposes, but to help make the symptoms of my Autoimmune Disorder a lot more tolerable and manageable. And it did. And if anything, it helped with me with my insomnia too. I wish you took a minute off your rant and actually talk about things on the other side of the spectrum, about how Glutathione is literally a wellspring of health benefits for us. I know there's not a "one size fits all" kind of answer to these kinds of questions, and a grey area definitely does exist, but it doesn't seem fair to scare people off from using the product, especially after Glutathione is medically proven to be a powerful Anti-Oxidant that is naturally created in our body.
Granted, there are definitely people out there who find ways to abuse these kinds kinds of products for superficial reasons, but it doesn't seem fair to single out Gluthatione specifically ang go on a rant about how damaging it can be to our system when basically, any mineral/supplement taken in excess grants the exact same adverse effects.
I feel it too , I feel she wanted to scare people. I think it will only be dangerous to do iv in illegal clinics. I tried iv once and it really makes me feel healty and my skin glows like crazy, I sleep so much better and lighter
I agree with this.
While I do like Dr. Dray, and am subscribed, I feel like she should've talked about glutathione in a more factual and informative manner, instead of trying to dissuade people from using it.
I wish you’d try to watch the video again. I feel like there’s a huge disconnect between what she said to how you understood it. This entire video tackles glutathione FOR SKIN WHITENING, as it says in the title. It doesn’t talk about glutathione in line with other matters like what you mentioned (being an antioxidant, “wellspring of health benefits”, etc). This only discusses glutathione as being used in skin whitening. Just that. This video doesn’t tell you to embrace your own skin color (which isn’t such a bad idea). It just tells you that there aren’t substantial studies backing up the use of glutathione for skin whitening. This isn’t fear-mongering either, because she combed through studies and gave us her interpretation as an established medical professional. Fear-mongering would be saying things that aren’t based on facts to push your own agenda. She didn’t do that. In fact her statements were based on what she learned from the topic, and not hearsay. Glad that oral gt has been working for your auto immune disorder and insomnia. Great. But that’s literally not the topic here. She’s talking about gt as a skin whitener, NOT as an OVERALL INGREDIENT/SUPPLEMENT. So no, she doesn’t have to take a minute off of her “rant” to “talk about the other side of the spectrum”, because that’s just not what the video is about. She never said that gt is not good for anything. She just said it’s not good for skin whitening. She’s not scaring people off of using gt entirely, she just doesn’t recommend gt for SKIN WHITENING because a, it’s not substantiated and b, it’s reported to have undesirable effects. She even gave an alternative method for people who still wish to lighten their skin! That goes to say that she’s not discouraging you from whitening your skin, she’s just telling you that glutathione is not the right product to do it with. I’m rambling here but I hope my point came across to you. I do believe you’re a little disappointed that this doesn’t agree with what you believe in, but I do hope you’d find the time to watch this again, and possibly find other pieces of information you can benefit from.
I'm from the Philippines. You can RARELY find any skin product here that isn't whitening. From soaps to lotions to sunscreen. It's crazy! I have friends who ask me to inject them with glutathione since I'm a doctor and I can establish an IV access. I swear it's exasperating!
teddy ted so does it lighten your skin?!
Why you so mad everyone wants to look a certain waay? I dont get this. Whatever makes them happy
@@Friedchicke Yeah I pretty much support that but what I don't support are people here that discriminate and degrade people that have tan or darker skin, I experienced it myself living in the Philippines for years and it is really rampant.
@@REINERX99 not only in The Philippines.. i was in korea for a month and half and i cannot find a single product not for whitening the skin ، also i cannot find a cushion foundation darker than me for tow shades or more. my color is nearly like dctor dray but i like having tan alot so i always bought a foundation that darker than my color.. One time i get a concealer and after the saler tryied to convince me to take lighter color and i refused she point on a korean girl that have little bit darker skin than me and say this girl got a lighter shade of same product .. and i hate how she pointed on her 💔💔
Having light skin and hot tropical climates just don't go well together. If the Philippines was a snowy mountainous or forestry place then it would make more sense, lol.
Finally someone talked the reality of Glutathione. In my county India, every single person is so obsessed about fairer skin. Everyone giving ads about Glutathione for skin whitening sicks me. What I find disturbing is that the darker skin tone people never consider themselves as beautiful, here makeup means getting fairer. Yeah! Even though different brands of makeup are avaible to suit everyone's skin type, still majority will use skin Whitening creams and products. They don't realize that Westerners use fake tans and here in India people are so lucky to have them naturally.
I would hate to be indian
Indians are the most beautiful people in my opinion. I’m from the US and am very very white. I love darker skin
@@mattc236 I would hate to be YOU.
Extremely informative. No IV glutathione. Sunscreen Mineral with iron oxide, sounds good.Thank you!
I live in Thailand,where people got iv injection in a mall weekly just to get whiter some are death because of it. The color of your skin still a big deal in our country and you get treated differently just because your skin tone. Lots of Asian countries are associated whiter skin with an upper class and you get treated better which is sad when you realize you living it in 2019 and the color of your skin still matter can we just focus on something that’s more important 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏾♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏽♀️
@steve plonka this is only true for young people. Old tan people usually have horrible skin
Hi Dr. Dray. Thank you for the clarification regarding oral and iv glutathione. As a Filipina I’ve tried a lot of them, meaning different brands but with rhe same 500mg content. I took one capsule with 500mg of vit C. I used them as an anti oxidant supplement. I’m naturally fair and I noticed my skin gets more fairer when taking them.
I stopped taking them yesrs ago.
Hello could you please share some of the glutathione brands that really worked for you?
Did you return to normal colour when you stopped or did you get darker than before?
Name of pills?
Hii I've been searching for glutathione capsules to lighten my skin can you please tell me which glutathione capsules have worked for you .. I've seen a lot of brands but it's hard to choose which one works
here for the comments
The best topics always! Go Dr Dray 😊
Happy Monday!
i've been bullied at school, my ex left me and cheat on me with lighter skin colour girl because in my country if your skin is pale, white, bright, and lighter, then you match the beauty standard if not you considered ugly, no matter how smart, kind and rich you're. and not to forget. you have to be skinny. girl with 68kg, height 153cm like me is considered fat, unattractive and unbeautiful.
sorry for my bad english
I've never heard of glutathione used for skin whitening! I've taken glutathione (oral and IV for 13 months) while taking antimalarial medications that were damaging my liver. My olive complexion didn't change at all.
Woah I've only known glutathione as a skin whitening product! I didn't know they had other benefits/uses 😳
We learn something new everyday 🙂
You will be lighter if you will overdose gluta. But no lightening effect if in regular doses
@@jameslastimoso5404 There is absolutely no science-backed benefit to overdosing glutathione and it is highly irresponsible to even suggest it. Shame on you.
@@elysafrancisco7240 sorry for my English but im not even suggesting it to you true there is no evidence found on the internet alone but for the people who undergone the procedure yes there is a dramatic change it works like magic u can even label yourself as white as snow white but of course there is no enough evidence for its side effect because the recorded side effect of gluta is the lightening of the skin its not actually a skin whitening the whitening people get from overdosing it is its side effect they even call it good side effect for those who want to have fair skin.
Please dont be harsh because im just telling you that gluta can whiten skin but by overdosing it.
You asked a question and he answered. He never suggested you overdose on it. Your response was rude and unnecessary.
Watching Dr. Dray saves me so much in cosmetics and skincare products! I was so confused, knowing the rule of less is more but did not even understand that sunscreen helps in whitening and decreasing hyperpigmentation. I always thought sunscreen is just to protect you from becoming darker and reduce the risk of skin cancer! I almost buy redundant brightening serum..
Does oral glutathione effect the thyroid negatively? Does it reduce thyroid hormones?
FYI- Pilipino (tan Asians overall) have the most beautiful tanned complexion… I hope that if you’re considering lighting your skin, you read my message and find that you are beautiful.

Never heard of this before, but this IV treatment seems way too scary... OMG, don't know how people can subject to that. This is the result of a lot of misinformation surrounding this industry. Thanks Dr. Dray, for enlighting us about this subject!
Happy Monday, everybody!
Thank You Sooo Much!! Happy Monday To You Too!! I Hope You're Having a Wonderful Day!!!!
Happy Monday!
While studies have shown oral and topical glutathione are safe for dietary supplementation and skin lightening, there have been no rigorous, large-scale studies on the use of an intravenous form for skin lightening or on its long-term side effects. Most of the evidence glutathione proponents point to comes from individual case reports or anecdotal experiences.
I am a Filipina.. But I'm not a fan of glutathione.. I love my natural skin color .. I love my morena skin.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Morena ls spanish word
Filipino people are by far the most naturally beautiful people I’ve seen- nothing fake and they usually have perfectly smooth skin that doesn’t age! My boss is 40 years old, heavy smoker and he looks 25 years old. It’s definitely a gift that people who have don’t see. Good for you!

Filipino women are whitening fanatics in general. Skin whitening products grow in leaps and bounds here. rampant use of IV glutathione is very alarming as it seems anybody can get it anytime and anywhere. Hope this video reach many Filipinos and Asians as well. Keep doing this Dr. Dray!
The Exuviance SPF 50 is working for me. Notice after washing my face in the evening, it has less redness and discolorations. But I may switch to less pricey SPF since I'm also using a PHA lotion in the evening. That was the main reason I bought it. Still learning here. Thank you Dr. Dray.
Melanin is also photoprotective, so is skin whitening really beneficial? I understand tanning with UV radiation is damaging to skin, but actively blocking melanin transfer or production only makes skin more sensitive to UV radiation, so ingredients that actually do the opposite, stimulate melanin production (without UV radiation), would I think be beneficial.
Peter Kloosterman exactly
Naw! You didn't talk about Liposmoal or suppository And the vitamin C needed to take with it. Or NAC . I know all this because I used to be on the Glutathione parade in quest for the most flawless skin but ultimately can't afford to keep it up.
P.S High amounts of Vitamin C is pretty much vital with this.

I grew up in a “white” family as far back as anyone could remember. I am extremely fair. I burn within minutes being in the sun. I had freckles as a child. As a child of the 70’s sunscreen was just not thought of, despite the fact that I grew up 2 blocks from the beach and being on swim teams until late high school. I was taught not to pay attention to the color of anyone. Decide on your friends based on the type of person and character they had and not based on where they were from, who their family was, or how much money they made. Fast forward 30 years and I meet my husband who is Mexican. He came to the US at 11. What I found with his culture is that they are constantly comparing skin tones. There is a long standing joke in his family that he’s really black because his complexion is “so dark”. So when I met his many siblings I was expecting to see very fair skinned Mexicans. Nope, they were all brown. I wS honestly shocked at how “people of color” think about, judge, and focus on skin color. And have since found out that this is pervasive in African American and Asian culture. I honestly can say that I don’t get it. I think my husband’s skin is beautiful. And, of course, he ages outwardly much more slowly than I do. It’s sad that people are willing to put their health in jeopardy to maybe perhaps be an almost indistinguishable shade lighter in their skin tone.
Most of it is due to colonisation so you can’t really blame any of us for feeling this way especially if we’re also being targeted for our skin colour to this day by white people and now some other POC who’ve suffered from years of colourism and racism.
I was just reading about this as part of my Lyme disease treatment (internal) and wondered how it also whitened skin. Thanks Dr. Dray!
Exactly! I read about how it aids in celiac disease effects. Found out its adverse effects (skin lightening) later on.
While I get glutathione isn't recommended and dangerous, why do the people in this comment section judge people who want whiter skin? People nowadays change their gender because that's "the real" them, that's their happiness, most of them did it because they feel discontent with their own gender, can't stand gender roles etc. Why can't we lighting our skin if I feel like it's the real me, and that's my happiness? If you call this colonialism, inferiority complex etc then I can call people who changed their gender have internalized misogyny and misandry 😶🤷
Agree
I live here in the Philippines. Like you've said, there's a lot of spa and medical center here has IV glutathione. It's been here for years and years. FDA recommend to get it from a registered medical center and licensed doctor and nurse that undergone IV (I forgot what it's called but it's something that a licensed nurse will take and get licensed for before it can administer any IV form of medication). The problems that arises here is that some people injecting IV Glutathione on their own, without any knowledge on how to properly inject IV, resulting to infection and such. IV Glutathione is available, everywhere. It is widely advertised here in every form, like soap, topical cream, oral supplement, IV, and any other way that it can make money. I'm not a fan of glutathione, and any skin whitening or bleaching products. I want healthy glowing skin. I love to tan in the summer but never tanning again because of Dr. Dray and Paula Begoun. 😅

I've tried so many other products, but *Whiteoncream* is the only one that's given me permanent white skin ❤🤩
Hello. Is it safe to use?
@@jaspreetkaur5547 GGL *whiteonskinwhitening* you can find more things

Me: oh glutathione that sounds fun!
Dr dray: it can make your skin fall off and kill you
:)
What a way to die😖😵
No glutathione doesn't...only unregulated iv injections
hahahah DEAD
any doctor telling you that should be struck off the first thing they teach at medical school is the danger of low levels of glut google glutathione and see what the top scientists of our time say about it its a miracle life saver you do know how to google?
thank u for this video, I know a girl that did it and she said it's great but I think kidney and liver failure is not worth it
Is the glow coming from a moisturizer? Looks lovely :))
This is a bit off topic, but because you use the mushroom powders I thought perhaps you could do a video on the claims of mushroom powders and their safety.
Wedmd freaked me out, when it suggested long term use of Reishi powder can harm the liver.
Hi Dr. Dray! Off topic, but just wanted to let you know I tried the Hada Labo Perfect Hyaluronic Gel in the gold tub and I LOVE it so much!!! Perfect to use with the moisturizer and tretinoin!!! Thanks so much for the suggestion. The Neutrogena one I didn't like too much, it slightly gave my skin a burning sensation. Love Hada Labo!!! Have an awesome day, dear Dr. Dray xo
glad to hear!
Hi, could you please tell me which video that she suggests the Hada Labo gel?
I'm starting on Tret and would like to find a good moisturiser gel. Thanks!
@@dodgeball28 that's a good question lol. I'm not sure, but if you look up Dr. Dray Hada Labo hyaluronic gel, you should be able to find it. Just be sure and use a moisturizer on top of it to seal in the hyaluronic acid!
So what should we do to lighten skin.. straight forward answer and the cost and the length of time, thanks
Happy Monday! Thank you for this video! So we have to be more diligent and rather take some risks, so let's use our Sunscreen every day. After several months, because you have to be persistent, I see a big difference on my skin. With Olay mineral sunscreen spf 30, Cerave cleanser and Cerave moisturising cream, my skin has brightened so much where I rubbed it. It is never too late to apply sunscreen!!
Danièle Gagnon Happy Monday
Can you talk about the importance of wearing sunscreen during fall and winter? My friend assume since the weather is cooler or there is no sun or summer heat, you don't need sunscreen. They will look at me like I'm crazy or weird while they ask me why am I still wearing sunscreen when there is no sun. I keep telling them because it is important to do it everyday and they laugh at me saying sunscreen will kill you. 😔
you need sunscreen even winter or raining
Never heard of this stuff before.
Wow! Crazy scary stuff!
When I was a teen I would just stay out of the sun because I didn't like how my hands and knees looked when I got tan. I also don't like how I feel if I get too hot. I was always the girl sitting under the tree with water and sunscreen.
Catrina Rich 💙
I'm a Fitzpatrick 2 and was always teased for being Casper and succumbed to the trend of tanning salon in the early 2000s bc I was a teenager. Crazy how virtually everyone wants to change their skin color one way or another. It wasn't til my 20s when I realized how bad it was in the black community. I heard someone say, "she's acting light skin" and it was a WTF moment. Crazy pants. We all just gotta embrace the literal skin we are in.
Why is it that different dermatologists say different things about the same skincare like some say to use vitamin C and toners and you say basically you don’t need it. I’m confused. I love your channel and love your words. Please don’t be offended by my comment 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Brittney Pearl Paracetamol causes liver failure but Drs will prescribe it for pain relief. It’s a mad mad world and we should all consume what feeds us the most especially information on the internet. “Just wear sunscreen alone” to treat hyperpigmentation?!!😳
@@MazvitaRaphael But some Dermatologists are saying that wearing Sunscreen too often causes Skin Cancer. I just don't know who or what to believe anymore.
Dr dray your skin looks so glowing what are you using in this video 😍
@oye , 🤭🤭🤭
Liver failure in 30% of people at one center! Not worth the risk!
DrGoldieMD 👍🏼
Damn doc I didn't know that
Is it when they consume glutathione supplement?
V Tae I believe it was an infusion. I would still be careful using anything that has caused liver failure in another form.
Liver failure can only happen if you take to many
It seems like there isn’t really any effective lightening products
sunscreen
😂😂
Dr Dray HAHAHAH XDDD
if you talk about suppressing melanin production, there are a lot of ingredients that are effective.

I had my first session of gluta drip .. its terrifying actually because i dont like needles.. but i had depression 3x and had signs of PCOS so mainly i want to be healthy.. Im cutting sugar already and soing exercises.. make sure that you go to licensed professionals so the advertisement they have is fpr health benefits.. side effevt is only skin whitening.. i do hope it can give me that side effect to treat hyperpigmentation
Hi, what is the glutathione lotion that was used in this study? I have hyperpigmentation. I would like to just get an even skintone.
Supplements and IVs do work. There is a lot of people on TH-cam that have lighten their skin with Glutathione supplements. There’s plenty of before and after pictures. But my question Is it true that vitamin C lower can your copper level? This might be the reason why people’s skin lighten. I just don’t think it safe as people think it is. A lot of people that I see on TH-cam are abusing it and they go from dark skin to white.
Yes iv do work
Slimkat 2018 uh oh 😧 I take large doses of vitamin C regularly this time of year... is that harmful? Or will it only have lightning affects when mixed with other things?
Nicole Smith
It will have lightning effects. If you look at other people on TH-cam you will see when they mix vitamin C and glutathione they become lighter. Especially people of darker colors.
But people can go from pale to brown. Ok?
Nothing wrong if you want to be lighter, i know people who take glutathione and vitamic c for a long time but are still healthy, and happy with the ligher skin they desire :-)
People are taking iv drips with glutathione cocktail. Kojic acid, tranexamic are the famous cocktail mix. The most expensive one is SLC24A5 which costs up to MYR12k per box. What are these ingredients? I need your comment on this doc. Thank you.
I trust the FDA of the Philippines. That is a no for IV glutathione for me. Thanks for making this Doctor Dray.
so what is an effective and safe way to whiten overall complexion? for dark armpits for example
Dark armpit is caused by build up of dead skin cells from friction and irritation by remnant of deodorants.
Try glycolic acid serum or lotion everyday at night before bedtime on a clean surface, wash and dry your armpit before applying it.
You should be able to see result in 4 to 6 weeks time.
There is a woman from Trinidad here on youtube who did a video about how it lightened her skin over the course of 5 years. She took it orally in order to combat her acne scars and hyper pigmentation. She went from being the same complexion as actress Gabrielle Union to being as light as singer Jordan Sparks. It was remarkable to see and a bit alarming! What's crazy is she didn't look sickly like people who use hydroquinone on their skin to lighten it
Same for me also. I was the same skintone as Lupita and im light brown now. I have been on glutathione for 9 months straight now and I also take other supplements. Its alot to this. Its not as easy as just putting on a lotion. Nope.
@@Nekole1 what brand glutathione u take
@@angelface4836 I have taken so many brands of Glutathione. But the one Im currently on now is Body Studio Costmeticals on Amazon. But I prefer Organic Skin Lightening Supplements better. Its too pricey for me. I also take additional skin brightening supplements Hush and Hush Brighten plus and Neo Cell Glow Supplements. I put on my lotion 3x a day. So I buy alot of lotion, gel and serum biweekly. I try not to put alot on to stretch it.
@@angelface4836 But its a way you have to do it tho. I get ny tips from my Jamaican friend who is a heavy bleacher. He has been bleaching for years.
@@Nekole1 can i get white skin without supplements just by gluta drip?
I don’t understand how anyone could want to be lighter ….. I feel like dark skin is way more flattering .
Can you explain why chemical sunscreen is not a better choice than minerals for hyperpigmentation?
I was really interested in this since I've seen some treatments like thsi at Korea for idols and vloggers doing it but thank Lord I watched this info before I even think invest on this
THANK S DR DRAY
Marian Alheli Gutierrez Reyes thanks for watching
besides skin lightening, is consuming Glutathione or its anti-aging properties a good idea? since its known as a master anti-oxidant?
I am filipino. Idk, it might just be me but the only reason I use skin lightening products is bc my skin isn't equally tan and I cannot find any other ways to make my skintone even 🤷🏻♀️
I did IV glutathione for skin lightening it works very well for me. Now I am 5 shade lighter than before. I have pictures before and after.
please which brand do you use ? and where are u bought it ?

AMAZING VIDEO! would love to see your updated skincare routine!!!!
Reuel Lara: This is still Dr Dray’s current skin care routine. Yesterday, she directed someone to this video when they asked the same question.

What about liposomal glutatgione
Great advice!!
When I was a teenager,l used to hear about people bleaching their skin, and thought why ?
We're all beautiful just the way we are, but use sunscreen 😊
Happy Monday 🙂🍁
@Ayu Yulianti l know, and it's a shame that people judge on the colour of skin.
They do it because of a cultural colorism in Asia is something on the lines of: darker people being farmers or just working under the sun and pale people having a higher social status that usually could afford not to have to work under the sun for a living.
In western countries used to apply the same theory in times of colonialism but nowadays rich people usually look tanned because they can afford the leisure time to go on vacations and get darker meanwhile poor people cannot. So poor people in western countries now are the pale ones sitting in a cubicle working the entire day and getting no sun. (Obviously there are exceptions to everything, like western construction workers being poor and tanned).
So colorism changes depending on people’s jobs (sun exposure) related to status.
I just want an even skin tone my face is darker than my neck and other part of my body so glutathione and sunscreen enough ?
Stop ✋ otherwise quick death 💀
Great information, as usual. Have a great day dr Dray! 🙇♀️
Great, informative, responsible video. BTW, it's nearly half a million! Amazing!

Hi dr Dray! Great topic. Just listened to the presentation of a Canadian doc Zoltan Rona. He was advocating glutathione for everybody as the best antioxidant ever. Himself he got intravenously. He also mentioned that it is used as a brightening product in Asia. Interesting to here that it is not very bioavailabe. Thank you!
:)
This scared the crap out of me....and I’ve never even heard of glutathione for skin whitening! The extremes people will go to.
Justme 💙
Just as extreme as tanning is, why is one worse and the other acceptable?
Arianna Hlavac they cant answer the question girl 😂 double standards indeed
What are your views on using lutemax for skin protection and lightening? Lutein and zeaxanthin apparently has uv and blue light protection for not just eyes but also skin.
Hi Dr Dray. Thanks for this. I am cancelling my appointment! What do you think of placenta or collagen ivs?
🌻🌼Happy Monday Everyone!🌼🌻
Thank You Soooo Much!! Happy Monday To You Too!! I Hope You Have A Completely Awesome Day!!!!
Happy Monday!
Thanks Latricia Have an amazing Monday !
I'm from the Philippines and I somehow agree. People believe that glutathione is only for skin whitening but it is mainly an antioxidant. (I take it to help my skin from my acne problems) ... I also bought a fake oral glutathione from a shopping app and I was alarmed. I always and catiously test it with a betadione test to check its authenticity.
... ps ... IV drips of gluthatione are far more risky than the oral and topical ones
Betadione test is not for glutathione..its for vitamin c..i f you mix only vit ca and betadine..it'll work like that..u have to try once. betadione colore fade away is becos of vitamin c only...
So is it safe to take in supplements. I saw an old video where dr dray took fountain glutathione supplement before
Yikes. As a Filipina-American, I'm not surprised. I remember when I use to live there, I'd be bombarded with ads for Eskinol astringent, papaya soap, lotions and other products all geared toward the whitening of the skin.
Happy Monday Dr. Dray!!!
Happy Monday!
Thank You Sooo Much!! I Hope You Have a Marvelous Day, and a Super Wonderful Week!! Always and Always!! xoxox!
I heard her say snake oil and immediately yelled out loud “sic ‘em Dray!” This is a interesting topic and makes me think people really need to abide to the care of their skin it’s the biggest organ on the body. It’s not to be confused with the big cinnamon rolls at Johnson’s Truck stop that is a whole other story! 👍🏻☕️⭐️🍁
Lol!!! throw back to vlogmas 😂😂

Did someone say cinnamon rolls!?! Dang! Now I want one!! 😂 Happy Monday, Uncle Charlie!
@@marylawman8603 lol Happy Monday!
This is more than a little beside the point; has nothing to do with the video. But, it might be an idea for a snippit or a video. Could you show us what you do with your longer hair, as you wear it up? How to do a perfect ballerina bun, for instance? I would be interested. I have wavy/curly over the bum length hair (classic length) and I wear a bun all the time, when I am up (it's down when I have down-time). I wear it in a Nautilus bun or LWB (lazy wrap bun) with a hair fork (contraption especially made for very long hair). But I would be interested in seeing other methods! Loved the video. Always interested in your content!
I like my medium color skin but I have ugly dark scars on legs. I need to try it. Creams don’t work, it will go away but one scratch takes 2 to 3 years
Hey how's it now?? What u used
Thanks for the great information. I always used sunscreen prior to discovering Dr. Dray's channel, but now I have more information regarding skin care so I re-apply sunscreens as often as possible. Thanks for always providing us with great information.
sherinie22 💙
I’m surprised that Dr dray thought that the glutathione is dangerous . Because it is used to treat other diseases like Lyme disease and malaria .
I’m really confused 🤷♀️ because I’m seriously thinking to go for the glutathione IV treatment
And very good for liver as well. I've been suffering of some liver discomfort. I started taking glutathione along milk thistle and I'm not longer feeling any discomfort.
She pointed out how it CAN be dangerous when unregulated and administered in clinics by poorly trained staff and such. She pointed out how it can be adulterated and again, UNREGULATED. That’s your key word here. If you have lyme disease or malaria and your doctor treats you with glutathione then it must be fine. But if you’re doing it for skin whitening, she’s saying there’s no substantial evidence behind it for you to do it and that it can be risky. This video is about glutathione for skin whitening, not glutathione’s effectivity against lyme or malaria.
Thank you so much for finally making this video!!
I'm an Asian with a genetically fair skin tone. Only taking Vitamin C, E and Glutathione orally for Antioxidants property and preventing the sun damage from inside and outside, alongside with other supplements. A year before Dr. Dray or other certified dermatologists talked about it, I already did a research by reading scientific journal, made my own thought and conclusions (just for myself) before using Glutathione because it's extremely trending in South East Asia.
I don't always take them, I do made my own regiment like taking them 5 times a month, rolling. Sometimes I don't always take Glutathione. And most importantly, wearing sunscreen everyday. Been wearing sunscreen since teenager before Glutathione were a thing.
And when Dr. Dray already talked about it, I am extremely glad with my own thought and conclusions are confirmed.

Youre so easy to judge us to want a whiter skin cause you already had a pale skin. If you were in our State I'm a hundred sure you also want to have a dream pale skin. So don't us! They know the limitations. Do not destroy the pharmaceutical companys that produce gluta products!
