Does Vitamin C lighten skin?

[crimclown63]

Also what should the dosing be to see changes in skin undertone with vit C?

I was talking about megadosing oral vit C, forgot to specifically write it. Does this apply for that too?

Start at 5g a day. Go up if necessary

I think mega dosing oral vit c is cope

 

[bigjuicy]

no if you want to lighten skin (to birth color) you need to use glycolic acid or AHA
vit C is good for fading sunspots/scars but not at lightening skin color

Gotta megadose and then maintain those results if you get any. Thinking of doing this for anti aging benefits as well

NAC will do more to lighten the skin than using vitamin C. From what I remember, prolonged NAC consumption increases the pheomelanin/eumelanin ratio. Not ideal either for skin lightening because NAC does a tonne of other stuff.

Nac has to be continued forever ? And what daily dose ? And less sides right than vit c? I megadose msm already

Idk about the dose I just know it lightens the skin with chronic use but I wouldn't recommend it because it might affect your motivation and sex drive and possibly cause some type of anhedonia. If I was OP I'd just focus on skin quality rather than MichaelJacksonmaxxing with the skin whitening stuff.

It needs to be understood that skin colour is integral to phenotype and lightening skin usually leads to negative prediction error. As in, it just looks off.

Hydroquinone and Monobenzone are the real skin whitening creams but they're not gonna help anyone looksmax imo

NAC is precursor to glutathion and is recommended because it’s much cheaper than bioavailabile glutathione like SALG and Lipo. Ideally for actually results you’d want multiple oral supplements, vit C is usually paired with oral glutathione for increasing phenomelanin.

It likely won’t look unnatural because even with many different supplements you won’t lighten your skin tone past 2-3 shade, only melanin killers like menobenzone will look unnatural imo. Oral seems like a much better option than topical personnally because more even application (it should in theory lighten nipples and privates without irritation) and less sides (most self induced vitiligo cases seem to be from topical use)

And yeah unless your body somehow ends up producing more of the suppplement naturally in its own, you will have to keep dosing those supplements to keep the lighter skin tone. That plus avoiding the sun like a vampire; skin lightening is a lifestyle.

About any skin lightening really. Most won’t give you past 1-3 shades. Honestly if I were you I would focus on just not being tan and eye color

Eye color i wear contacts and cope with msm - a bit lighter but not enough.
Not a fan of eye lightening surgery, requires 0 inhibition ngl

I was trying to get at the point that you can't change your phenotype, and altering one phenotypical feature will just throw off harmony.

As I'm a brown skinned South asian, I think removing the undertone would be much better than skin lightening? As It's seems like attractive south Asians don't have an undertone. What are your thoughts?

Yes

You can try to do so, some succeed, some don't. It all depends on your base and how far out you're reaching.

do you know the nac dosage? @Seth Walsh

 

[Seth Walsh]

do you know the nac dosage? @Seth Walsh

Tbh no. I don't know if it lightens the skin personally. I'd need other people's anecdotes. I don't need to lighten my skin so I never noticed anything. I just take 1000-3000mg NAC whenever I need it. But I use it for it's glutathione increasing and glutamate clearing effects.

so do you think its cope around 1g-3g? i probably need more?

Prolly cope imo. You'd need to find someone who actually claims to have lightened his skin with chronic NAC use. I really don't know personally.
