Product Description
In 2004 the makers of Ivory Caps® had embarked on a business plan to develop the company's most powerful skin lightening product. Not only was this formula meant to be effective, but also safe for normal use. Though the idea was simple enough, the research and development to create such a product was surprisingly extensive. Every possible factor was considered in creating this revolutionary proprietary formula called "Skin Essentials." What ingredients should be used? How should they be applied? Even minute factors like, what kind of container will keep the ingredients fresh and active. Upon completion, the product was officially named Ivory Caps® and this new formula incorporated the industry's latest research and most cutting edge technologies. And after two years of tests and trials, it was finally available for the public in the fall of 2006. Since then, the R&D Team has been continuously improving the formula and product line with new innovations making Ivory Caps® the most advanced formula on the market today. www.ivorycaps.com

Ivory Caps Glutathione
By Matt
I'm of Filipino descent with light brown skin. I've been taking 4 capsules a day with vitamin c & alpha lipoic acid. I first bought my first set of four bottles back in March. It's been about a month and a half since I started taking them and I've noticed a slight difference. My skintone has lightened atleast 1 shade. I'm definitely lighter than I used to be. My friends have even noticed. Also I have a darkspot on my hip area due to my wallet putting pressure on that area and since I started taking this glutathione it has basically disappeared. Other dark spots on my body have either lightened, or disappeared as well.Studies have shown that taking oral glutathione is not an effective way to lighten skin. I used to believe this until I started taking this brand and since then it changed my mind completely. This product really does work as long as you maintain a daily intake of this glutathione. Taking it with vitamin c and alpha lipoic acid or NAC will make it more effective.So far it's working. I just received another order of 4 bottles today. So I will continue using this glutathione because I am satisfied. I've used other brands before in hopes of lightening my skin, but this is the most effective of all the brands I've used. It does it's job. However, let me just let all of you know, 1 capsule DOES NOT contain 1,500 mg of glutathione. Two capsules contain a total of 1,500 mg of glutathione. On the bottle there is a daily dosage note and if you take two capsules it will total to 1,500 mg of glutathione. It is a little misleading, but believe me it does its job of lightening skin & making it more youthful looking.Don't expect immediate results though. Results vary from person to person and your initial skin tone. It could take months before you see an effect. Luckily, it works for me and I'm happy.

By DeCordova Palmer
This product works great, but it should be noted that for maximum efficiency there a few things you should do.1) Calculate your dose.To achieve the skin lightening effects of glutathione you must calculate the dose necessary for therapeutic levels. Resources online say you should take 20-40mg per kg (~2.2 lbs) of body weight, per day in 2-3 divided doses. So if you weigh 130 lbs you should take between ~1200mg and 2400mg a day. That's 2-3 capsules. I recommend taking them after a meal. Remember to spread the doses out. When you have reached your desired complexion you can cut back to a "maintenance dose" of half your regular dose. If you keep taking the product you WILL keep getting light (more on that in section 6).2) Increase your Vitamin C intake.Without going into lengthy scientific explanation, vitamin C helps L-Glut absorb easier. Resources online say you should match or double your vitamin C intake for each mg of L-glut. However I recommend not to exceed 2000mg of vitamin C. I was taking 3000mg (double my dose of 1500mg L-Glut) and started getting stomach cramps. I looked it up and found that to be a symptom of vitamin C overdose, so please pay attention not to start popping vitamin C pills. Administer your serving of vitamin C at the same time you take the L-glut. By the way, Vitamin C itself is a skin lighener in high (1000mg+) doses, over time. This is important and I will bring it up later.3) Consider a topical cream.L-glut works, but from the lower skin layers up. So a lot of people get discouraged at the rate of the lightening. I recommend adding a skin cream to the regimen for faster, longer lasting results. Personally I used Palmer's Skin Success for the first two months, applying in the morning before heading out and in the evening before bed. This is not a recommendation-- I am just telling you what I used. Palmer's SS has hydroquinone and I encourage you to do your own research. Other creams that use licorice extract and papaya may be more your thing. Aside from the additional lightening, many topical creams also include sunblock (more on that below) and alpha hydroxy among the ingredients. Alpha hydroxy accelerates the cycle at which your skin is shed and fresh cells are generated ("skin renewal"). That means faster results.4) Do not leave home without sunblock.This should be a no brainer, but I am sure many of the people who complain this product doesn't work aren't taking the best measures to protect themselves from UV rays that trigger your body to produce more melanin. So I am telling you now, don't think you are just going to stay out the sun. If you are serious about results get a decent (SPF 50+) sun block or you might as well burn your money.5) Consider Soap.Whether you choose a lightening soap or just an exfoliating one, you can't go wrong. It is simply an additional avenue for your melanin concentration to get knocked down, or your skin regeneration to be sped up.6) Keep realistic expectations.Your skin renews in about 14-30 days. Therefore, don't expect to see results for at least a month. You don't want to rush it anyway. Depending on how many shades you are going for, you may not want to use my additional suggestions such as soap and skin cream that hasten the lightening process. If you go from from Kelly Rowland to Beyonce in three months you will have family and friends asking what the heck is happening to you, and it will be more embarrassing than a compliment. When I saw that I was lightening faster than I felt comfortable I cut back on the soap and cream for a month. I got two shades later in my desired span of 3 months. I received many compliments that I have a warm glow, nice skin etc which is what I was looking for. I didn't want anyone calling me out on skin bleaching. Light skin isn't for everyone and when you take it too far (Micheal Jackson, Vybz Cartel) its far from attractive.. I'm mixed 25% white 75% black and already had mocha skin tone. I got to a caramel tone and felt that was far enough.Conclusion:You can't go wrong with a solid regimen like this. It works almost too good and I encourage you to be not to rush it for a natural transition to a lighter complexion. However you should take vitamin C and use sunblock if you plan to commit to this product if you want to get the most bang for you buck. Thanks for reading!

(dec 02) I have searched online about glutathione pills and have read that it is not effective. But I want to believe of the good results I can get from it because I have friends who take glutathione (not with the same brand) and they became fairer. Actually, I'd just started taking it yesterday, and hopefully will see positive results. will let you know.(dec 08) After one week of taking it? I can only see minimal result. The only change I have noticed so far is that my skin became a little smoother than before (I am naturally fair). Or maybe it's because I am not taking vitamin c along with it (which is recommended as what I've read online). Anyways, they say you will start seeing obvious changes on the first three months... I hope someone will also try this item to help me figure out its effectiveness. ;-P(dec 16) - My lips don't dry anymore - no longer constipated (I don't know if this is also a result of taking glutathione) - dark spots on my face have started to lighten.I used to rate it only 3 stars, but now it's 4.
