It essentially causes vitiligo but that's what you want if you want to become white. It destroys your melanin producing cells forever

Hydroquinone with Tazarotene and corticosteroids can temporarily brighten the skin. But again won't be permanent

what do u think about liposomal glut vs IV?

Glutathione isn't going to work.

IV Glutathione at very high doses might work but it causes too many side effects. The point at which it causes systemic skin lightening it causes too many side effects.

Both are useless, IV is slightly less useless.

Also is temporary

Do you want on just your face?

Get a high dosage zinc oxide sunscreen to protect gains.

Those are the only type of sunscreen to prevent tanning.

Mainly, yes, but would not despise lightening the body as well

IV glutathione 5g/wk divided doses (can be skipped. Not necessarily if just face needed)

In morning:
Topically:
4-n-butylresorcinol 1%
Methmiazole 5%
Niacinamide 5%
Oral 500mg TXA (don't use if hx of blood clot)
Oral beta-carotene

Sunscreen mineral spf50+++

At night:
Topically:
0.1% tazarotene
Azelaic acid 20%
Flucinalone acetonide 0.01%


Importance of each:
1. 4-n-butylresorcinol
2. Tazarotene
3. Flucinalone acetonide
4. Methmiazole
5. Azelaic acid
6. TXA
7. Others


Flucinalone will prevent irritation from these harsh compounds but you can use hydrocortisone in the morning if you want.

Max run this stack for 3 months.
