Here's a review on Gluta-C Underarm and Bikini Skin Whitening Gel
PRICE: P199.75
PLACE BOUGHT: Free
OTHER LOCATIONS: Available in all leading department stores and drugstores
THE VERDICT:
Alright, since I've already mused about my vajay in some of my Brazilian Waxing escapades, might as well talk about my underarms. Gosh! You guys already know about each and every single part of my body! LOL!
When I was a tween, I have used this particular deodorant and it left nasty dark brown streaks on my skin. Turned out I was sensitive to Alcohol, which was one of the ingredients of that deodorant. It wasn't that grave, but it still affected my overall confidence. I had to bear with those streaks for as long as I can remember.
Fast forward to 2012.
A couple of weeks ago, I received a loot of this product that was given out during its respective grand launch. One of the formulators of the product was present during the event, and she was kind enough to answer my queries. I asked her if it's really effective and without any hesitation, she replied YES. She said that prior to its market release, it was tested on a couple of women (forgot the exact number) from Luzon to Mindanao and the responses were pretty positive: A huge portion of the group have experienced complete whitening, the others have achieved a more even skin tone, while a few didn't experience any effect at all. But bottomline, a huge number of the group was satisfied with the product.
When I got home, I decided to use it even if I still had reservations about whitening products. I've tried a couple and guess what? They're not effective. But I've got nothing to lose so I gave it a go.
Let's look at the product in detail:
This product promises smoother and whiter underarms in as little as 3 weeks because it's a concentrated product: it wasn't diluted in any way and hence it whitens faster and more effectively.
Methinks it's probably the cheapest underarm whitening product in the market.
Main Ingredients are:
Glutathione
Vitamin C
Daisy Flower Extract
Green Tea- hydrates and softens skin; antibacterial
Protein- helps stunt hair growth
It's also nice to know that it is Fragrance- Free, Paraben- Free, and Alcohol- Free, making it safe even for sensitive skin.
Comes in a squeeze tube for hygienic and easier dispensing.
Here's the product: It's an odorless, colorless, milky gel. It gets absorbed by the skin easily, and leaves no trace of stain on your clothes. I also like how it yields a nice cooling effect to my skin. It doesn't make my underarms sweat a lot too. And since it dries up easily, I use it during daytime as well underneath my usual deodorant. During night time, I cleanse my underarms and apply this product on them before hitting the sack.
Here are my results after 1-week (and no- fail) of usage:
A.) Underarms have gotten smoother
B.) Speed of hair growth is still the same, but the strands felt softer and looked finer
C.) Dark Brown streaks have lightened up
So far, these are the changes I've noticed. My verdict for now is that it's a promising product. I didn't expect that the results would be THIS fast, although I have to admit that I am not yet satisfied with them.
I'm already halfway through my second week and I'll update everyone if it has finally put an end to my eternal problem.

LOL sa Verdict. haha natawa ako dun Ms.M promise! Would definitely try this if you already emptied 1 tube. That's one of my major problem. My dark underarm because of almost everyday plucking. Can't even wear sleeveless :( . Same kami ng problem ni mom, so after mo talaga maubos ang isang tube at okay sya, bibili talaga ko nito, promise! - Pretty Thrifty
ReplyDeleteThat's a cheap underarm whitening product. I never tried anything like that. I wanna buy and try it too!
ReplyDeletethere's also this product called Kate Jones Underarm package that really works. They have a regimen and some rules that's kinda hard to follow, though.
ReplyDeletethis one by Gluta-C is cheap. I might purchase one time :)
I've been waiting for this review. Got problems on my ua too because of using deodorants. And yeah, this is the cheapest ua & bikini area whitening I know. It's a plus factor that it's good for those who have sensitive skin. I'm really gonna try this! :D
ReplyDeleteHmm.. This is interesting.. :-)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to another update concerning this because I'd also love a product that could help whiten my underarms.
ReplyDeleteEver since I switched from shaving to waxing them, they've lightened a little bit, but still not enough for me to be confident with lifting my arms when wearing very short-sleeved tops :(
I want to give this a try since you already made a review. Thanks for the sharing Martha :D
ReplyDeleteJenny: I'm already on my second tube. :) Will let you know how it works. :)
ReplyDeleteKath: Welcome dear! Lemme know how it works for you. :)
Ari: Hi there! Like what I've said, it's very promising. Try one tube now to see for yourself. These effects are just based on my experience. Hey, who knows? Maybe it will work better on you. :)
Marjorie: VERY! :)
Harmony: Hi dear! Yes, I've heard of that, although I'm quite averse to the concept of applying peeling solutions. Afraid that I might apply more than what is recommended and burn my skin in the end!
Mrs. Kolca: Go ahead dear! Let me know how it works for you :)
Jenny: LOL! Yes dear, will update everyone. :)

ReplyDeleteI've been using this product for almost 3 weeks now and I can say that I am loving the result! Although I still don't have the result that I want, this is the only product that worked for me. My husband told me that my UAs are smoother and whiter.
