I have been taking glutathione for almost 6 years now. It was initially introduced to it by my mom, who was taking ph338 religiously for quite some time before (she stopped already) and since I really wanted to achieve a clearer complexion and rosy white glow I decided to start taking it during my college years.
I tried several brands, from PH338, Belo, Silk & Dove, Kyosoku Bihaku, Ishigaki, lluminax, Active White, Glutawhite, White Light, Cosmo-skin. So might as well share their individual effects on me, the good and the bad, and also their ranking.
Lowest-Highest

Updated Ranking: I owe it to my readers to keep this post as updated as possible. You can also post questions here on other brands I may forgot to mention
11. Active White - Did not work on me
10. Illuminax - Did not work on me
9. Kyosoku Bihaku (KB) - Very affordable, did not break me out, gave me a nice glow but no noticeable whitening.
8. White Light - My cousins took this and they looked whiter, it's misleading though because it has 2,000mg in the whole bottle, and not per spray. Grr. It tastes like melon.
7. Belo - Expensive but caused me cystic acne I am not hiyang with a component of theirs. Rediscovered this because I wanted faster results, higher glutathione content and more concentrated quality. Belo produces great quality products and you know that they have the users' interest in mind. I love their products too like their sunblock. Belo really delivers.
6. PH338 - Very effective in whitening, gave me cystic pimples though :( If only this did not break me out, it would be on number 1
5. Ishigaki - Cheap and effective, but it gave me the yellowy-white unattractive white. Made me look like I got hepa
4. Silk & Dove - This one I took for about 2 years, very effective, would continue taking it if it were available but sadly, only fakes are sold now.
3. Cosmo-skin - Took for around 1 year, it has vit. C and ALA already, whitening can be seen in as short as 2 weeks. Taking this hurts my throat and stomach
2. Glutawhite -My favorite, 15p per 100g cap with ALA, readily available in drugstores, and effective.
1. VITAPACK Beauty 3-in-1 - One of the few glutathione brands that did not break me out, or gave nasty side effects like weight gain, acne, falling hair. It has other purposes besides whitening to.. I feel like I have more energy when I take this and I get that "blooming" aura. See individual review here.
I'm currently taking PH338, and I used it because it really did whiten, BUT a big BUT, I found this to be the culprit of my cystic acne that Ive been trying hard to combat!!! Each day I take this, a new pimple pops out, I tried stop taking it for a week and the pimples have stopped popping out.
I highly recommend the top 3, Vitapack Beauty, Glutawhite, , and Cosmo Skin. I highly recommend vitapack beauty if you are unsure of the side effects of other brands

wow this is very comprehensive! If I have readers asking me about these, will refer them to this post :) thanks
ReplyDeleteNice compilation! =) I have only tried PH338, and it really is effective. Nakaka-glow talaga ng skin.
ReplyDeleteawww thanks nikki! :) haha it shows ivebeen taking way too much gluta in my bloodstream
ReplyDeletehi blackshirt13 ang galing buti sa iyo effective, sa akin nipimples ako eh:(
Wow! This is a great post about whitening. I have tried Cosmo for two months but It did not work on me. Belo will be next in line. =)
ReplyDeletesis, taga gtalk ako, san nakakabili silk and dove? kung wala dito sa pinas saang country meron. want ko try... thanks! :)
ReplyDeletebtw, product ba ng dove to? sakanila kaya ako mag ask? hmmmm tingin mo sis?
Hi sis! Ako naman sa gluta-white hiyang
ReplyDeleteyou can get silk & dove in the US, and Im afraid its not "dove" affiliated hehe.. diba dove is more on soaps and natural skin?
:)
I just bought metathione!!! :) Will update if this is better than the brands I listed above
ReplyDeletehow 'bout gluta essentials? it has 700mg gluta/cap. higher content than others. have u tried it too? :)
ReplyDeletehi it's scientifically impossible to fit in 500mg of glutathione even in the largest possible capsule size
ReplyDeletemost likely the 700mg is composed of other than glutathione.. since molecules of glutathione are big in size
maximuum it can fit is 500mg.. those saying they have 1000 per capsule are just lying and misleading consumers
tnx sis for the info.
ReplyDeletesis need ko p bng mag take ng vit. c sa gluta white? ilan mg? tnx.
ReplyDeletehey I just stumbled upon ur glutathione recommendations, may I ask where is the PH338 and the Gluta-White available? Where can I buy it/ ad would there be other supplements I need to take with it? ^_^ will be waiting for ur response! tnx! :)
ReplyDeleteHi there, you can find gluta-white at mercury drug outlets
ReplyDeleteand for PH338 it's available in Multiply :)
ok thnx! will definitely try it. :)
ReplyDeleteHi nakakapimples ba yung Gluta White?? Yun kasi mas abot ng budget ko. Yung Met Tathione naman nasubukan ko dati pero di ko kinaya kasi sobrang pinipimples ako tapos mahal at magastos pa kasi dapat more than 3 capsules a day ko iinumin(very tan skin ko) so wala pang 1 month ang itatagal ng 60capsules per bottle.
ReplyDeleteHi zel! Di naman ako napimples sa glutawhite nung tinake ko for a month.. pero ingat din baka sa ALA ka allergic parang ako di ako pwede sa gluta na may ALA
ReplyDeleteHi..ask ko lng po kung ilang beses mo iniinom ung glutawhite per day?kc 100mg lng ung gluta content nya dba..actually may kaputian n ako gusto ko lng mging pimple free ung face ko.thanks in advance.
ReplyDelete^ same question
ReplyDeletehi. i just want to know where can i buy genuine ishigaki? and how much is it? thanks :)
