Whitening skin for Men

By: Chris 18 August 2007 3,683 views 127 CommentsEmail This Post Email This Post

I want to quote the message which was sent to me by a PGG reader a few days ago asking what is the best way to whiten skin for men:

“Hi Chris. i just wanna know if you guys are also frustrated in getting white skin.are there advantages if you got fairer skin? Would you consider taking whitening pills like *********? Hope you can make an entry about this. Thanks.”

Well, first of all I would like to say thanks to the reader for sending me his question which I am very happy to answer.

The only advantage of having white skin which we are all aware of is that you have a tendency to become a “head-turner”. This is not necessarily because people find you attractive, but because you stand-out from the rest of the crowd where everyone else has this tan “kayumanggi” complexion.

Personally, I don’t think it makes a lot of difference whether you have dark skin or white skin especially if you are a guy. This is because according to surveys, some Filipino women are attracted to men with white skin tone while others are attracted to men with dark skin tone. But if you want some tips on how to improve your looks when it comes to skin here are some of my suggestions:

1. Wash your face
Your face is the first thing that other people notice. More than anything else, it’s very important to keep your face pimple-free and acne-free. Wash your face at least twice a day. Using Master DermaClear-C to remove pimples is effective for me. You could try that too.

2. You can try to use whitening soaps
If you want to whiten your skin, I suggest you try whitening soaps since these are safe and effective to use. Remember to choose one which is dermatologically-tested.
You could also check out Nivea for Men products. Though I haven’t tried it, I’ve received feedback that it’s good.

Nivea for Men advertisement saying football players
should use Nivea whitening if they have sensitive skin

3. Eat Fruits and Veggies
Aside from keeping you healthy, eating fruits and vegetables is known to make a person’s skin glow. So make sure to include them in your daily diet.

4. Pills for whitening - not recommended
I do not recommend taking pills for whitening. These could have side-effects which may or may not be known to date. These are expensive too.

If anyone else have tried ways on how to whiten skin you could share your thoughts by posting a comment. Hope this helps

    wow!! i’ve been wanting to ask you same thing chris. hehehe i definitely agree with you pareng chris. With regard to NIVEA for men, I would recommend their product too. I’ve been a nivea user since college.

  • Chris said:

    THANKS radz, yes i have heard it’s good but I haven’t tried it myself. maybe one of these days i will.

  • charleslemark said:

    My frien is drinking this product, called Snow, that does 2 things: whitens your skin, and burns fat..
    Its available in any SM Supermarket, and costs only Php 62.00. Although I haven’t tried it — yet– he says its effective.

  • Chris said:

    ^^^ really? does it have any side-effects?

  • blake said:

    hi chris. so what product of nivea would you recommend to whiten the skin?

  • Chris said:

    hi blake,

    i wonder if you were the guest who asked the question.

    anyway you could try Nivea for Men Whitening Moisturiser. It’s available in SM supermarkets around 150+ Pesos. based from it’s name it doesn’t only whiten, it moisturizes too.

    you could also try papaya soaps. as mentioned, choose one which is dermatologically-tested. remember to stop using any product if you feel that it doesn’t suit you.

    i know it sounds weird because i’m a guy recommending these products. but I believe we guys deserve to look good too… :D

  • Marky said:

    Haha Chris, great article. Kasi when you’re fairer, mas madali pumili ng color ng damit… mas clean looking pati… anyways about the pills, it’s glutathione and i believe that it has no bad side effects, actually it is an antioxidant much like vit. c, e, etc., and it is called the master antioxidant which fights free radicals. The side effect of this glutathione is skin whitening and no other negative things has been noted if taken on higher doses, pero syempre lahat naman ng sobra siguro masama..? according din sa research, ok sya sa liver kasi it detoxifies i… haha hindi ako endorser, na curious lang ako kaya nagbasa basa ako…google is my friend, search search lang, hahaha…

  • Chris said:

    ^^^ Hehe thanks marky, may kilala ka ba gumagamit nito? ano results?

    I have also made a research out of curiosity and found the same stuff as you did. But I am not really into whitening pills.

    Soap, Master and Nivea for Men is already enough for me. :D

  • blake said:

    hi chris,
    nah, this is my first time to post here. i mostly read your blogs since a friend of mine recommended this. I’ll try to find the nivea product you mentioned. thanks!

    Hi Guys,

    I’ve used Nivea for Men and it does clear up and whiten skin. Yung moisturizer meron din SPF something kaya nakaka protect din from UV rays. Try it.

    Jake

  • Chris said:

    hi blake - thanks for dropping by.

    Jake - Whitening Moisturizer ba yung sayo?

  • IceClimbingMonkey said:

    Yung Licorice daw nakakaputi. It’s one of the main components of Godiva products.

    Naglabas na rin ng products yung BELO. Sabi nila nakakaputi raw. Mura lang yung sabon nasa 50 to 60 pesos yung malaking bar.

  • Marky said:

    Hmmm yep yung isa ko friend gumagamit nun and maganda naman result sakanya pumuti sya and skin is really glowing… anyways pwede naman to itake kahit yaw mu magpaputi as a supplement lang once a day yun… hehe… ako naman regimen ko, wash, tone moisturize, hehe although focus ko sa face lang talaga kasi body ok naman maputi ayoko namang maging sobra, face lang expose kasi sa sun kaya mas darker ng mga 2 shades kesa sa body… hehehe… may moisturizer ba ang Nivea for men na may whitening effects? sa face? hehehe…

  • Chris said:

    ^^^yep pareng marky, meron.

    Nivea for Men Whitening Moisturiser. Ayos yun… :D

  • Marky said:

    Wow sige matry nga yun, kaso kasi I’m using sunblock na pag umaga, so pano lagay ko nun? after ng moisturizer sunblock naman? or is it the other way around? Haha gotta try that Nivea, how much naman does it cost? Dapat nga try ko yung Olay Total Effects as moisturizer kasi I heard it’s good, pero mejo pricey at around 800ph?! Woah! :0)

  • Chris said:

    ^^^Active ulit ako ngayon kasi konti trabaho tsaka holiday hehehe

    Anyway, Nivea for Men whitening moisturizer is less than 200 Pesos last time I saw it. :D

  • Marky said:

    Hmmm wala ko nakita sa watsons, huhuhu… Sige try ko pa hanap, hehehe.. Thanx! :0)

  • charleslemark said:

    @chris,
    sorry kung ngayon lang ako nakareply, anyway, wala daw side-effects ung Snow..

  • Oni said:

    Hi chris.I was the guest who asked this question. Thank you for making this entry. For sure, its gonna help me. Btw, i am aeta from the mountains of zambales. Is nivea for men available at watson’s? One more thing, do you think Gatsby hairwax gonna work with my kinky hair?

    You got great blog. Keep it up.

  • Chris said:

    ^^^
    hi Oni,

    No worries. I appreciate being asked questions especially if I think I would be able to help. =D Anyway, you’re from Zambales? wow that’s cool. I want to go there sometime.

    I think Nivea for Men is available in Watsons. If not, try in SM Department Stores. Anyway I’m just curious, how dark is your skin? Is it dark brown, or light brown? Well you could also try the other tips by those who commented here but it’s up to you to find out which method to whiten skin suits you best.

    As with Gatsby, you could try the Mat and Hard variant (It’s color black). It will probably work if your hair is quite long.

    See you around,
    Chris

    I use Nivea Men Whitening 5 in 1 facial wash. Effective nga po siya. My friends notice it.

  • Anonymous said:

    hey chris… are you using soap for your face???
    isn’t that bad cause it’s gonna dry up your skin… and a lot of soaps has a lot of ingredients which clogs your pores???
    just curious

  • Chris said:

    Yes, I do use soap on my face. It’s actually important to use one since soap is necessary for cleaning purposes. Just make sure to use a moisturizing soap. :)

  • louie said:

    hi chris, how about yun pampaputi ng armpit? haha!.. kumbaga yung front side lang niya (i’m not sure if that’s the right term, basta yun sa hindi loob talaga). nagka allergy kasi ako nun high school, di ko na matandaan kung ano yun cause nia. tska hindi pa naman ako masyado aware sa mga ganyan noon. hehe. ano bang mgandang gawin? hindi naman siya maitim na maitim, gusto ko lang malighten man lang sana. any products? btw, i’m from ilocos pa, kaya imposible ang belo, aside from malayo, siguradong mahal. hehe.

  • radz said:

    i noticed yong medyo mataba (not all) may maitim na kili2, singit, leeg (likod). Ciguro isa sa mga cause ay yong friction na dulot kaya in the long run, naiiritate sya kaya nangingitim.

    sa underarm, i use NIVEA that is for sensitive skin. ung hindi matapang.

    sa face, i use nivea facial cleanser or foam for sensitive skin kasi madali magreact ang skin ko pag medyo matapang. i don’t use astringent kasi may alcohol at nakakasunog yon sa balat lalo na pag lagi ka nasa labas. always check the content of the product kung may alcohol.

    skin lotion. bihira lang pero kailangan pag nasa malamig ka na environment (office) kasi nakaka dry ng skin. pag mahilig ka sa labas, i use yong may SPF 30 to 50.

    soap ko naman, dove or ivory.

    i take vit.c everyday. it helps whiten your skin and strengthen your defense against sickness.

    Hi Chris.

    I’ve just found this blog in the BlogFlux directory, it really works noh kasi I was able to find this blog of yours na I can say, is a really big help to me.

    Anyway, 17 years old pa lang po ako, and I’m glad na at last, open pala dito ang usapin about whitening tips for men. Kasi diba nga naman, sabi nila whitening is only for women. hmpf.

    I’ve took Metathione 500mg last January and mind you, I’ve spent my entire savings on my bank account just to buy one bottle of it. And I was really sad when I realized it didn’t work for me. Imagine, sariling pera ko ginamit ko. hmpf.

    I hope you’ll be able to recommend to US effective pills or facial wash. I’ve read some of the comments and I’ll give it a try tomorrow po siguro, bibili ako.

    Anyways, thank you for a very informative site.

  • patricio.el.suplado said:

    to charlesmark:

    curious lang po ako about that Snow na product.

    Ano po ba yang “ini.inom” na yan? pills or talagang liquid in a bottle?

    I wanted to give it a try kasi.

    Thank you.

  • Chris said:

    Welcome to PGG Patricio! Thanks for visiting the site. As I said before, Nivea for Men is good. You can try that and also the other tips mentioned here.

  • patricio.el.suplado said:

    oh okay..

    i’ll give it a try.. thanks!

  • patrick said:

  • patrick009 said:

    hi kuya chriz i’ll just w8 ur reply tommorow … hope you post your reply about mah question :-)

  • cataclysmic said:

    try mo celeteque as your regimen baka kasi inflammed and face mo try any cooling face cream that’s water-based… avoid touching your face! try sensa tea tea facial foam as it has tea tree for inflammation at olive oil for moisturization. use SPF 15 UV block

  • cataclysmic said:

    Hi mga dudes! guess what anong nangyari sakin kanina since la ako kasama for malling… I went shopping again for skin whiteners.
    Here’s what I have bought:
    1. Palmolive Nutri-Milk soap - I am a belo essentials fanatic, pero para kasing konti lng ang ipinuti ko since using the soap and lotion since november last year. Count that, mga 6 months na. So try muna ako nito. Minsan nga Johnson’s Baby milk soap gamit ko or milk bath eh. I know d ako puputi masyado sa mga milk soap and baths pro at least makinis tapos whitening lotions na lng baha dyan.

    2. Loofah - for good blood circulation and slough off dead skin cells and for soothenning as well and no soap residue sa skin.

    3. Kojie san Kojic acid soap - super effective gamitan mo lng ng whitening mosturizer at UV block.

    4. Extraderm Age Defy solution #2 - Anti-wrinkle sya at depigmenting agent. I know po, 23 pa lng ako, pero I am not after the anti-wrinkle effects kasi gusto ko lng ma lessen ang mga pimple scars ko at one time lng to tapos whitening soap at moisturizers na bahala.

    I was thinking of buying Watsons’ own brand of 1 liter Whitening Milk lotion + Green tea pero d ako sure if effective. Kahit na generic lotion sya ng Watsons’ mura lng kasi at P99, 1 liter na! good for just moisturizing after using a whitening soap. Anu sa tingin nyo? D ko pa kasi binili kasi I have Skin white Power whitening pa eh, plus, Nivea for Men Whitening Lotion, plus Hype Gluta-C Intensive Whitening at ang huling plus na swak-na-swak sa budget nyo: BIOLINK VCO SUN DEFENSE SPF 20!!! @ only P69 for 100mL! D ba sulit kasi the higher the SPF, usually higher din ang price pero ito mura na our very own VCO pa!

    Golden rule in whitening: Skin whitening is useless if with adequate UV protection.

  • cataclysmic said:

    Hi Kicker! Dude try mo mga exfoliating solutuons like makipeel, age-defy by extraderm, etc. that’s for the elbows and kness lng ha… NIVEA for Men whitening roll-on… super effective!Puti na UA ko medyo may konti lng tan sa skinfold sa part na yon pero nagwhiten na in about 4 weeks of continuous usage.

    -kicker: i’m a fan of nivea for men ever since and I love their products.

  • Jhunzkee said:

    hello guyz!!. I’m new here and i read ur comments and suggstions..YUP, whitening s n0t only 4 women but also for men like us…i suggest, USE exfoliants like maxipeel..xmpre, mamumula talaga skin nu 4 d frst 2 wks.. Use m0isturizer and sunblock cream spf 50 and above.. That would really whiten ur skin.. U can choose the strength ,3,2,1 dpendng on ur skin tone..i am using 3..hnd naman ako nhhya coz, i want to feel good everytime na makikiharap sa mga tao dba?..mas vain na nga ata mga men ngaun kesa girls.hehe..isa na ako don..and i recommend MENA cream(pink),aftr usng maxipeel at nyt, then MENA NATUral pearl cream(white) effective 2 guyz..ü..

  • Jhunzkee said:

    hello uli!.. Sya nga pala, drink plenty of H2O, take vit.c, vit.e, f my budget, glutathione, UNG MET or GLutawhite or snowcaps,kc un lng ang may mga tamang dosage as what t.v patrol world reported last may 23… Nagssi tlaga ak0 kc LUCIDA pa talaga ang bnili ko..nil0l0k0 nila consumers…hay..cge , keep n touch..

  • catclysmic said:

    Jhunzkee,

    I won’t recommend Mena kasi, kautong namin gamit nyan parang sunog balat nya hindi natural ang dating kasi hindi gradual. Tapos if you have notived xa jeep ha, mga ladies na gumagamit ng mena halata talaga kasi na mumula ng sobra ang parang pinagbalatan mga face nila. Tapos hindi pa trusted name ang mena baka hindi safe at sisirain nya ang kutis mo. so if i were you use trusted names lng… medyo mahal pero safe naman. Low-quality ang mena…

  • Cataclysmic said:

    Chris,

    Thanks dude napansin mo rin pala anyway pareho tayo na fan ng Nivea for men. Pareng Chris, may goodnews ako sa inyo may Nivea for Men Whitening Lotion na! i bought the 25oml at P190 sa watson’s. May Revitalizing Lotion din na for Men ang Nivea… Try nyo mga dudes…

    For Ponds Detox Cream users here like me, suggestion lng mga dudes. Buy na lng kayo ng ponds nyo sa sachet then tranfer nyo sa isang empty small container kasi mas makakamura kayo kasi mahal ang sa tube na 20ml lng naman ang laman ang sachet 10ml pero kahit 2x pa price mahal pa rin sa tube.

    3 Ponds Detox creams:

    Pinkish white - P16 (10ml sachet), P46 (20ml tube)
    Spotless white - P22 (10ml sachet), P56 (20ml tube)
    Age-defense Brilliance SPF15 PA++ - P29 (10ml sachet), LA PA TUBE NETO I’M STILL LOOKING PERO WALA PA. Bago kasi eh. This is the best UV block na sure effective at mura pa.

  • Jhunzkee said:

    Hello peepz…yupz, talagang mamumula ang face m0 with mena f sobrang kapal ang paglagay m0 ni2 sa mukha m0..dpat k0nti lng,ung enough lng na malagyan ng pantay ang mukha pati liig..

  • cataclysmic said:

    jhunzkee

    sobrang mahal ng nivea whitening SPF50 tapos malagkit kahit non-sticky ang nakalagay… notice ko lng ha the higher the SPF rating the more na malagkit sya. wag ka madaming tinitake, POLYPHARMACY ang tawag dyan, makaka-drug-to-drug interaction ka mamaya sa sobrang dami. Latest brand ko po, GARNIER by L`oreal. Super nice din ang water-based UV block ng NIVEA, ang REFRESH something nila na SPF 30… hindi malagkit tapos may glow ka na parang natural skin mo.. whitening din yan

  • Jhunzkee said:

    Cataclysmic, hehe..ganyan talaga ak0 daming tinitake.. I know naman f wat na nangyayari sa katawan k0.hehe..kung hnd ny0 po naittn0ng, nars na po ak0,.hehe..wala lng..kaya alam k0 f ever sira na liver k0 or any organs of my body..hehe.. Nagrresearch naman muna ak0 b4 tntake ung mga vitamins..anyway, tnx.. Mahal nga ung nivea sun, but i love nivea sun facial sun block,ung nasa tube..kc i feel very pr0tected,anytym i go out..Ü.. Tsaka, ung tinitake k0 glutathione, vit.c and gloww.gud 4 the liver un..kaya n0 pr0bz.Ü..cge cge, til nxt tym..i’ll be back pag may bago nanaman ak0ng ndsc0vr ab0ut skn whitening..Ü..

  • cataclysmic said:

    jhunzkee, nurse din po ako. Alam ko yan pero kahit supplements yan they are still categorized as drugs kahit nga vitamins eh, OO andun na ako sa antioxidant properties nyan (i know) pero i is still eliminated sa liver… even vitamins and supplements. May study na nyan about polypharmacy na may lead to certain liver copmplications.

    Higher SPF doesn’t mean adequate protection yan ang common misconception. Actually, the higher the SPF rating the more risk for allergic dermatitis and penetration of molecules sa upper layers ng skin is slowed.

    SPF 5 = 83% coverage
    SPF 10 = 90% coverage
    SPF 15 = 92% coverage
    SPF 20 = 94% coverage

    so you see hahit SPF 70 ka pa or VMV armada SPF 50-60-70 ka pa, will its not money well spent kasi hindi ganyan ka significant ang UV block coverage when it really gets higher… Minsan nga especially after SPF 30 and above na ratings, YOU CANNOT HARDLY APPRECIATE THE COVERAGE KASI NGA IT’S LESS THAN 1% AS YOU GO HIGHER. THE KEY IS REAPPLICATION AND SPECTRAL COVERAGE… THAT IS IF ALAM MO ANG SPECTRAL COVERAGE…

    AND FOR THE RECORD HINDI PO SUN BLOCK ANG CORRECT TERM NYAN, IT’S UV BLOCK KASI PO HINDI MO TALAGA MABLO-BLOCK ANG SUN’S RAYS, ONLY UV RAYS.

    ASK ANY DERMATOLOGIST… MISINFORMED KA KAYA KA NAGKAMALI KA SA LUCIDA AT MISINFORMED KA DIN SA UV PROTECTION. SPF 15 UP TO SPF 20 IS OK NA PO. UNLESS CAUCASIAN KA…

    THE BEST UV BLOCK LOTION NOW BELONGS TO NEUTROGENA… YONG MAY HELIOPEX NA INGREDIANT NILA…

    PANG KATULONG LNG ANG MENA…
    GLUTATHIONE CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH IS MAITIM KA NA TALAGA OR MINSAN WALA PA NGA EFFECTS EH (READ ONE COMMENTATOR’S EXPERIENCE)

  • cataclysmic said:

    jhunzkee, biro lng yan sa mena hehehe actually naka bili ako nyan before pero parang d hiyang sa akin kasi parang halata masyado eh… sa gabi lng cguro ilagay pwede pa? agree ka ba? kasi ang katulong namin yan ang gamit at effective ha kasi d lng siya gumagamit ng UV block kaya cguro d natural ang dating sa kanya at take note RDL #3 pa gamit nya, o d ba ang tapang… pinayuhan ko na nga eh. pro mena along i think is good it just that wag lng sabayan ng mga super tapang na exfoliants like mga #2 na strength. tapos if clear na skin nyo wag na mag exfoliant solution beyond 2 months kasi hindi advisable. at walang humpay na UV block SPF15-20. Kng mayaman kayo guys kagaya ni Jhunzhee, mag SPF 50 din kayo hehehe d loko lng… hehehe nag-iinvest ka lng naman sa skincare mo which is a good sign. I think maputi ka na kasi hiyang ka sa mena, ok hindi dark or super puti average lng na hindi mo matatawag na itim…

  • patricio.el.suplado said:

    hahaha.. la lng..

    natatawa po ako dito, hehe..

    ang sosoxal nmn ng mga katulong nio, nagpapa whitening din, haah..

    kudos to him/her..

  • catclysmic said:

    hay naku pare believe it… pagkakita cguro sa closet ko na 3 palapag ang skincare ko buli rin sya… heheh RDL #3 at mena cream gamit nya kasi hindi natural ang dating… d naman namin pinapakialaman… sa kanya cguro d bale pumuti kahit halata hehehe… satin kasi mga lalake dapat gradual lng kasi baka ma notice agad… mag DUDES, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND POND’S AGE DEFENSE SPF15 PA++ P29 lng sa watsons… galing at mura na UV block at hindi nakaka oily…

    radz,

    I have GARNIER and I am using it… medyo oily at 1st skin ko pero ok lng d naman masyado and besides when it is absorbed medyo ok na… it has SPF kasi eh pero sulit naman. GARNIER is the natural approach of L`oreal skin care. kaya sulit yan tol i tell you.

  • radz said:

    @cataclysmic

    Yah,it’s true about GARNIER. Habang tumatagal nag aadjust nga ang skin pero after nito,balik uli ako sa dating brand ko which is NIVEA.Nasanay na rin ako sa NIVEA back in college pa.

    To those who wanted a fast whitening effect here’s a recipe

    1 box Etta’s skin whitening powder
    1 small can alpine milk
    1 bottle of Etta’s liquid mixing solution

    Put powder into a basin then gradually mix it with the etta’s liquid mixing solution while then pour-in the alpine milk until u get a melted ice cream consistency.. get naked and spread the whole mixture in your entire body and let it dry for an hour.. u would look like a mummy for awhile but trust me its very very effective.i would suggest you do this in the bathroom and make sure the temperature is a bit cool so that you wont perspire while the mixture is drying up in your body..ul see the difference right after rinsing your skin.. do it for twice a week and in just 2 weeks or four sessions you’ll really see the big difference..btw, some parts of your body will feel itchy while the mixture is drying up. its normal kc component ng liquid mixture is hydrogen peroxide but its safe. try using the Likas papaya soap for daily use so that you;ll maintain your white skin.. sobrang effective talaga! Etta’s whitening powder would cost only 200pesos i think plus the liquid mixture which is only around 20 pesos..u can buy them in mercury drug and other leading stores nationwide. am not paid by etta for this. just sharing it to you all!

    hey.. am back after a very hectic schedule from our class.

    anyways, tanong ko lng po kuya chris. since you and other people here recommended nivea for men i bought one for myself last saturday and it cost 109PHP.

    i was thinking on how long would it take for me to see changes or at least improvements? hehe.. curious lng nmn po eh.

    hoping for your answer. thanks!

  • radzdude said:

    @patricio.el.suplado

    Most likely after 2-3 weeks bro. Just avoid too much exposure from the sun starting 10am till 4pm. If unavoidable, don’t forget to wear sunblock with SPF15 or higher.

  • wesleychu said:

    to all guys out there being natural is the best. But xempre kailangan din natin ng mga products na makakatulong maipreserve yung itsura natin diba. lalo na sa panahon ngayon na puro pollution. Im wesley chu, bibigyan ko kayo ng tips on how to improve your skin para mas dagdag pogi points sa mga girls. ako kasi i used branded products takot kasi ako magtry sa mga local products i used shu uemura foaming cleansing water for my face & then nivea mild milk spf50 both in the face & body bago ako umalis ng bahay para hindi magdry tsaka malose yung moisture ng skin xempre para hindi na rin umitim. hindi ako gumagamit ng whitening products kasi maputi na talaga ako half chinese kasi, ayoko kasi ng sobrang puti. And i take 1 capsule of metathione once a day as antioxidant para maflushed lahat ng toxins sa loob ng katawan ko. Kung gusto niyo magpaputi i recommend taking 2 capsules of met along with vitamin c twice a day basta continuous then apply sunblock pag lumalabas sa mainit avoid din masyadong magbabad sa araw magiging useless lang kasi ang paggamit niyo ng met. hope nagustuhan niyo yung mga tips ko mga pre.

  • patricio.el.suplado said:

    hey radzdude!

    maraming slamat!

    i’ll followr your advice.

    another thing:

    it says in the box na it’s better to use it with the nivea for men whitening facial foam. is it a must? and..

    is it okay na mababad ako s aircon for approx. 5 hours aday? aircondxoned kasi room nmn eh, so i hope it won’t affect my usage of the product.. tnx anyways!

    TOP Skin BODY Nourishers:

    1) Skin White PowerWhitening SPF 20
    2) Belo Essentials BLUE (at night) & PINK (during the day)
    3) Nivea for Men Whitening Lotion
    4) Watson’s Milky Whitening Lotion Green Tea variant
    5) Lander Advance Skin Firming Lotion (the best lotion for gym goes like me, it firms ups skin for muscles)

  • radzdude said:

    @patricio
    It isn’t a must to use facial foam but there is an advantage if you use a facial foam.It doesn’t clog your pores and doesn’t cause dryness unlike soap.

    If you are in an airconditioned room,your skin has a tendency to be dry and lose elasticity.You might as well use lotion.

  • cataclysmic said:

    @patricio

    a whitening foam from the nivea for men range isn’t necessary unless you can affort both face wash/foam and face cream. if u must choose, go for the face cream as it will be on your skin longer than the face wash.

    ______________________________

    a lot of girls and women are now noticing how my skin looks better than theirs… when they ask what am I using I just say, “I exercise and sun screen…” Hehehe I am shy to say that my cabinet if full of facial care products hehehe but exercise did really improve my overall blood circulation and my entire skin now glows! no pimples pa! so hit the gym also guys! i work out 4x a week. so it pays off… i have less blemishes now and super clear na skin ko! little dis they know na grabe ang ceremony ko before matulog… skinwhite powerwhitening solution + 5-7 layers of different face creams every night… so tell me papanu hindi gaganda skin ko… jahe lng i have to say a “white lie” about it kasi nga naman halos lahat na lng nga babae nananotice na: close frnd ko, officemates ng nanay ko, tita ko, relative ko, ex classmate ko, hay naku the price i have to pay for superbskin… ok lng ba mag “white lie” hehehe kasi naman my nextdoor neighbor na amiga ng nanay ko also noticed and she tried to raid my closet! scarry noh? anu mga guys? any reactions? am I going overboard na?

  • cataclysmic said:

    for gym goers like me pala… try nyo lander before at after workout and see the reults! P99 lng for the big bottle… mura na effective pa… use on clean skin lng ha… no sweats at nasty stuffs on it unless you want microbes on you skin

  • cataclysmic said:

    @wesleychu

    Met to flush out toxin? you are mis informed. It is an anti-oxidant which prevents oxidation of certain vitamins prior to being metabolized by the body, pag na oxidize na kasi walang kwenta na yan at hindi na magagamit ng body tas they are converted to free radicals which eat up the oxygen in your system na dapat ay sa cells mo napupunta. Met/glutathione does not in any way flush out toxin! take note of that. They just optimize body functioning.

  • Patricio said:

    ei!

    napansin ko lng po.

    i’ve been using nivea for men 5 in 1 whitening moisturizer as recommended by some here for 5 weeks now.

    bakit po wala p rin atang changes?

    and minsan nga feeling ko mas umiitim po ang mukha ko, hmpf.

    anyways, any1 do have an explanaxon?

  • Patricio said:

    and hey chris!

    i have an impt thing to tell you.

    can i feature this blog into my blog?

    im planning to upgrade me blog kasi and i was thinking to have a feature blog page, and you’ll be the first one.

    sira kasi ata contact page ng blog nto so dito ko nalang nilagay.. tnx!

  • cataclysmic said:

    @ Patricio:

    Skin darkening really happens when you are particularly non-compatible with the product. Though it may be dermatologically tested safe and effective, it doesn’t mean that it is for everybody. That claim is true but remember each person’s skin may react uniquely to certain substances differently, that’s when there concept of allergy comes in.

    If you feel that your skin is irritated, this might be allergic dermatitis and you should stop using the product and consult a derma. Bring the tube of the moisturizer with you and have your derma check on it.

    If you think that you skin is getting darker (please be very objective about this), perhaps you have experience allergic dermatitis before and, depending on the serverity, you might have recovered from it unknwoning ly. but the sad news is that and harsh irritation to the skin especially if repeated over and over again can cause skin darkening as a response of the body to that substance. Add to that the damaging effects of UV, even though you have UV protection in that moisturizer, it was not effective because of skin breakage and allergenicity. Any scar/abrasion whether big or small can be darkened easily by UV, especially UVB which is the common cause of sun burns. But this explanation is just to give you an overview. Still nothing is better than seeing a certified dermatologist.

    Disclaimer: I, myself, have been using Nivea For Men Whitening moisturizer and I had good results with it. This is not to discourage PPG readers not to buy the product but just be alert when your skin says that it is not suited to the product. This aside, NIVEA For Men Whitening MOisturizer is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Please take not of that. This is the ONLY whitening moisturizer available in the Philippine market that’s specifically for MEN.

  • Patricio said:

    :::cataclysmic

    First, I want to say thanks for spending time writing a quite lengthy yet informative answer to my query.

    As for your response, I dont REALLY say na I’m getting darker, even people around me doesn’t say anything like that.

    Siguro lang until now, my skin isn’t improving in terms of its skin color, pero one thing or change in my skin na most probably the reason I should thank Nivea for is that: Many people noticed the better texture and aura of my face. It seems very smooth daw tingnan from far, and even better when they get closer.

    As for my comment naman, pansin ko rin my skin on the face is actually better than before. That, perhaps is the effect of Nivea to me? Well, I’m not really sure.

    Pero, I’m still using Nivea up to now kasi hindi pa naman ubos ang bottle ko, and I’ve been using it for about 5 weeks na ata, I’m still hoping na I could see improvements as to my skin color, hehe.

    Anyways, thanks ha! I am now planning to pay a visit to the derma my mother recommended me to go to, pero she was quite hesitant to send me there regularly since hirap ng panahon eh, hehe. And ang mahal pa ng tuition fee sa school namin.

    Again, thanks!

  • cataclysmic said:

    Heads up guys!

    Here’s a run down of the best soaps.

    1) Hype Duo soap (be it the original small soap, or the newer whitening plus anti-aging or the high end HYPE Gluta- C)

    REASONS: The soap is effective due to its FRENCH technology called Glyscosphere technology or GlycosTech for short. It delivers papain and vitamin C at molecular level for better penetration and that also equates to better whitening and efficacy because the active ingredients with no be rinsed along with the soap after if has been delivered at molecular level.

    Bonus: Ther’es also 2 kinds of lotions that goes with these soap for better whitening.

    2) Green Cross PINK soap (the one with almond milk and microbeads)

    REASONS: At P10, do I need to emphasize? Germ Protection + smoothening + moisturizing. It has a nice scent pa. Feel your skin after using it so that you’ll prove it to yourself.

    3) SkinWhite Powerwhitening soap

    REASONS: This soap works wonders, especially if used with the lotion. It whitens your skin in 7 days, REALLY! Visible lightening at 2 weeks and superbly whiter skin at 4 weeks! I even took it to Bora to prevent too much darkening whitle enjoying the beach.

    Bonus: It comes with SPF 20! It’s none greasy! And it has the Vita nourish formula SkinWhite is known for.

  • cataclysmic said:

    Heads up guys!

    PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE: http://www.skinwhiteningstudy.com/

    THAT’S THE SCIENCE BEHIND HYPE DUO… for better skin whitening, dapat we know kng what skin do we have and what type of products we should look for and use. Very informative yan, especially if your investing in your skin like me.

  • Pao said:

    Totoo nga po ung mga reviews sa skinwhite power whitening line… Sinubukan ko lang ung maliit na bottle nun, mahal, 71.25php.. Pero nung naubos ko na, aba.. Na.notice ko na naglighten talaga ung skin ko… I’m planning on buying the bigger bottle.. Kasama na rin ung face solution at face cream, pati na rin ung soap.. Skintel Whitening Soap kasi gamit ko ngaun. Mahal din, 75php.. SkinWhite nlang ako.. Makakamura pa ako tsaka effective rin naman…

    Nga pala.. Pag maxipeel user ka, ito ang pinakamaganda na regimen.. Pag naliligo GENTLY rub ur face with your fingertips… DAhan2x lang.. AFter bathing, apply pond’s spotless white detox lotion, followed by the cream.. The lotion hydrates the skin so no flaking will be visible.. Lalo na pag nalagyan mo na ng cream.. Ang linis the after-effects.. Tsaka may sunscreen na ung pond’s kaya safe ka na against UV rays. Hehe.. Been doing this regimen for months now.. Lapit na ako mag.stop ng maxipeel kasi masama pag sumobra…

    thanks…

  • Pao said:

    Hey jaganium2008, ang masasabi ko lang sa Nivea is ok cya, mild sa skin PERO matagal ung effect niya. I dunno bout the other guys pero un talaga ung na.observe ko. May facial scrub ang block&white noon and it really made me look white, parang the grudge.. Nasobrahan.. Na.shock nga ung mga tao at bigla akong pumuti. Kaya lang wala na sa mga supermarkets un ngaun.. Ewan ko ba, di cguro alam ng mga tao na super effective un kaya wala maxado bumibili, kaya tinanggal na ng b&w sa whitening line nila.

    Ang tip ko lang is gumamit ka ng soap na may glycolic acid/AHA… A very good example is skintel whitening soap. It costs 75php. Effective xa sakin at sa kaklase kong lalaki noon.. Pwd rin skinwhite powerwhitening soap, eto mas mura 58.25php.. Regular lang dapat ang paggamit ha.. Na.obserbahan ko lang, mas madali at mas grabe ung intensity ng lightening effect ng skintel whitening soap kesa sa skinwhite powerwhitening soap. Pero kung nagtitipid ka, better stick to skinwhite.

    To top it al off, everytime naghihilamos ako, final touch ko ung Gatsby Whitening Wash Foam.. Ginagamit ko rin xa sa arms ko para pantay.. ANd yup, effective rin xa.. Especially sa gabi, paggising mo kinabukasan di maxado oily ung mukha mo, malamig pa sa face pag ung product..

    Tsaka ung skinwhite powerwhitening face solution nga pala ung toner ko.. Ok xa, pangalawang bottle ko na..

    Ey guys…
    yes effective talaga ang skinwhite power whitening toner… this is my third bottle… parang local version sya ng obagi… power whitening user ako from soap to toner to lotion. sa face, nagdarken skin ko kasi naman hardinero din ako dito sa amin hehehe ao ayon naarawan ako ng masyado, i use garnier light face scrub at foam then last belo patterned din ang belo after the obagi skin line. they key is letting the lather stay sa face mo for at least 2 mins for the wash and 5-10 mins for the scrub… then follow it up with skin white toner then garnier light face lotion + myra e + ponds = skin is reborn the next day… BEST if with at least 8 hours rest.

    Hey!

    I’ve been using the Nivea for Men 5-in-1 Whitening Moisturizer.

    Um, nakaka 2 months na po ako and yet no improvements.

    I actually used it since it is recommended by you guys.

    Though I understand that the effectiveness varies from person to person, but do you have any suggestions for alternative ways?

    Hmp.

    Stupid question pero curious lang po:

    Does the effectivity being affected by diabetes? haha. la lang po. from my wild imagination. am diabetic ata eh, though di p nmn confirmed tlga.

    Going back, any recommendations?

    Thanks!

  • cataclysmic said:

    @ bea:

    Believe it bea. Kasi naman kayong mga girls gusto nyo ganito gusto nyo ganyan parate samin mga lalake so here we are nagpapagwapo.

    @ patricio:
    Try the garnier light range.
    UV block lotion like myra-e with SPF 15 or Nivea whitening with SPF 30

  • Patricio said:

    Hey.

    The Garnier’s too expensive.

    I can only *sigh*

    Anyways, here’s going back to my old NFM.

    Pag tiya-tiyagaan ko na lang muna to.

    Hmpf.

    Any recommendations na affordable?

  • catalysmic said:

    @ patricio:

    dude, sulit naman eh…
    effective sakin…
    i bought the ff garnier light range:
    1. face scrub
    2. facial foam
    3. moisturizing lotion with SPF 15

    please please use UV block lotion ha…

  • cataclysmic said:

    @ patriocio:

    just continue using the whitening foam by nivea for men, it will give you the prep that you need for optimal whitening.
    Try skin white’s power whitening toner costs around 40 pesos. follow it up with the face cream. i suggest you use this tandem in the evening though it says it can be used day and night but don’t be harsh on your skin during the day time instead opt for a good UV block lotion line nivea sun whitening milk SPF 30 costs aroung 199 pesos. I usually follow it up with pond’s pinkish white cream to do away with the sticky feeling and to give the illusion of a moisturized skin with out the geasy feeling. Gusto ko bumili ng neutrogene ultra sheer sun screen with heliopex (patented UV blocking agent developed by neutrogen) pro it costs a whopping 500 bucks so I will just stay with nivea for now.

  • Pao said:

    =>cataclysmic,

    thanx for sharing ur nightly routine..
    how about sharing ur morning rituals, like, the preparations that you do and the products you use to gussy up before you leave home?

  • cataclysmic said:

    morning routine:

    1) garnier light face foam then belo essentials to further enhance whitening kasi mas concentrated sya among all facial wash at it closes my pores.

    2) belo essentials toner + fasting absorbing powerful moisturizer like myra with SPF15.

    3) garnier light face lotion with SPF 15. If i think I’m going to be under the sun frequently most of the day like jumping from one building to another or walking from point A to B, especially at noon til 3, I use nivea sun whitening milk with SPF 30.

    4) To conceal everything I top it of with ponds pinkish white cream and a few johnson’s cooling powder to smoothen things up at para d halata. You’ll look like bagong ligo for a least 2-3 hours. Tapos the best part hindi pa halata basta USE in MODERATION.

    NIGHT regimen:

    same pa rin. pro i just use the garnier light face scrub from time to time every 2-3 days ata.

    skin white power whitening toner

    myra moisturizer

    garnier light

    ponds

    try nyo mga dude. I had a lot of compliments na pro nahihiya ako pag na notice nila na ang ganda ng skin ko… hehehe sencia mahiyain talaga

  • Janus said:

    di ba nauubos oras mo jan sa routines mo?? :)

  • cataclysmic said:

    hahah good question minsan nauubusan ako ng oras. I have my emrgency kit sa gym bag ko hehehe… just face wash plus dove SPF 15 yon lng… no fuzz ang emergency kit ko since i can’t carry whitening products noh so I just opt for sun protection. medyo addict ako sa sunscreem and UV block lotions.

  • Pao said:

    how to avoid pimples? tips anyone?

    noon kasi kahit gano pa ako ka.late matulog cos of skulwork and thesis 1 di aq tinutubuan ng more than 2 pimples… pero ngaun bigla akong tinubuan ng 4-5 spots.. di kaya sa products na gninamit ko? tinapalan ko kasi ng ponds detox na gold ung skinwhite powerwhitening face cream eh.. Baka nagka.allergic reaction… huhuhu…

  • Ritz said:

    The best pa rin kung sa derma ka pupunta…try it once tapos pag nalaman mo na ang regimen mo, dun ka na maghanap ng alternative. For example ang facial sa derma ay 600 pero sa mga spa 250 lang. Very effective ang chemical peel kasi magiging clean and clear ang mukha. Then ang regimen ko (sa pimples kasi malamang na prob din yan) is erythromycin solution 2% and benzoyl peroxide (every night lang and alternate yung paggamit nung dalawa erythro ngayon bukas benzoyl naman). Important ang sun block SPF30 maraming products na ang mura. Yung nivea whitening moisturizer eh hindi dapat sa mga oily skin kasi maglalangis lalo face nyo. Pero it’s a good product dun sa mga pinalad na hindi oily ang face. Also sa derma, meron silang cream na prescribed…siguro medyo mahal pero one time big time naman ang effects. Hindi yung naghuhulaan. Yung Olay total effects maganda din ang feedback. Ayun…if you really like a good skin, medyo gagastos ka talaga (Clarinse for men is an example). Worth it naman kasi maayos ka naman tignan…lalo na yung mga mahilig mambabae dyan.

  • cataclysmic said:

    After the treatment may specified routine ka na and ingredients to avoid ask your derma. Good for pimples ang master na papaya at ponds anti-bacterial scrub.

  • Pao said:

    May nakatry na ba sa inyo ng Gatsby Whitening Wash Foam? Effective talaga xa.. Ginagamit ko rin xa sa arms ko para pantay ung kulay…

    Matagal ko nang hinahanap ung skin whitener facial scrub ng block and white… Nakikita pa ba ninyo to sa shelves sa market ngaun? Kasi sobrang effective nun.. Talagang nashock ung mga kaklase ko pagbalik ko sa skul noon.. Para ngang the grudge ung kulay ko, nasobrahan.. Haha.. Melawhite ung whitening ingredient nun.. Ewan ko kung may facial wash and scrub pa ba ung Block and White ngaun.. Pag may nakita kau let me know please.. Miss na miss ko na kac ung “the grudge” ko na kulay.. Ang hirap ibalik nun. Hahayz…

    Tsaka, paalala lng.. Wag ipagsabay ang skinwhite powerwhitening face cream at ponds detox creams, kac unstable ung chemical reaction nito, at magkakapimples kau.. Buti nlang nakarecover na ung mukha ko.. Japanese mode na ulit ako.. Pero kulang pa para maging the grudge ulit. Hahaha.. INgats kau lagi

  • catac;ysmic said:

    @ Pao:

    Hindi po totoo yan, stable ang chemicals for both ponds pinkish whitening cream at skinwhite powerwhitening cream. Otherwise, wala sya sa market.What you mean is when you combine it. Who are you to say na dahil nagkapimples ka e hindi na compatible yon. May be you didn’t observe proper hygiene when you use the products kasi may germs fingers mo tapos blame it on the products. O d kaya ineefective ang cleansing mo kaya there was germs and dirt na na trap sa llob ng pores mo. I tried it for 2 months, ok naman mas super effective pa sya. Synergistic ang effect nya. I am not saying na you won’t have a reaction pro its less likely lng kasi dermatologically tested ang mga yan kahit e combine mo pa yan hindi naman muriatic acid yan mo and once the skin is properly preped, mas deep ang penetration ng active ingredients.

    Please prep your skin properly. mild daily scrub plus powerwhitening solution plus powerwhitenning cream + wait for at least 15 mins then follow it up with bonds or any other whitening “leave-on” product like garnier or better yet opt for a light-weight UV block SPF 15-30.

    Kahapon to nangyari..

    Bumisita ako sa tito at tita ko para kausapin sila about my grades’ status.. Then, nung nakita ako ng cousin ko na sabi niya sakin “oh, kuminis ung mukha mo ha”.. That statement of hers really made my day… Tsaka napansin ko rin na gumanda ang texture ng mukha ko, the look and the touch.. Ang sarap hawakan ng face ko dahil sa texture.. Thanx to skinwhite…

    Try nyo gamitin ung toner ng skinwhite.. Makaubos lng kayo ng 1 bottle eh makikita nyo na ang difference.. :D

  • cataclysmic said:

    @ Pao.

    Sure Pao. Glad to be of help. ako din bumili ako ulit ng toner and cream. tandem na para bilis at maximum benefits. just post your e-mail and I’ll be more than happy to drop you a message.

    Sabi sayo eh. effective. and the best part? wala pa sya peeling at nourished ang skin mo. Glad to here the goodnews pao. Ako din I had the same reaction. Kala nila nagpapaderma ako kasi makinis daw. Just use any UV block cream or lotion sa face that you like of at least SPF 15 and you’re good to go.

    tips no.2 kojic soap (kojie san)

    super effective sobra! sa face at body ko toh gamit. ok to
    pag di sensitive ang face nyo. napantay tlga ang kulay ng
    tuhod ku at siko ku. eto lng ang side effect medyo nakakadry
    nid mo tlga moisturizer at lotion sa body pero linis kinis
    tlga ang dating mu. ang gamit ku ngaun:
    (kojic soap + nivea 5 in 1 whitening moisturizer )
    so far effective cya.

    sinubukan ko gumamit ng Etta’s whitening powder, ung nilalagyan ng hydrogen peroxide(agua oxeginada)… Pinanipis nung ung buhok ko sa forearms, mejo nag.lighten nga eh, tsaka sa tingin ko namatay ung buhok o sa forearms.. haha.. Ilang years na pero ganun pa rin ung itsura…

    Subukan mo tong isa.. Pwd rin milk powder haluan mo ng agua oxeginada.. Ung consistency dapat parang ice cream ha.. Then apply mo dun sa hairy part. Pag makapal ung strands ilang applications pa cguro before mo manotice ung effect ng agua sa hairstrands.. Tsaka ung purpose mo sa paggamit nun eh para sa hair thinning, bonus nlang ung slight lightening effect sa skin..

    Nga pala, instead of taking gluta orally, ok na kung magvitamin E ka daily, 400IU/400mg. Vitamin E is said to inhibit melanin formation, and it protects u from the harmful rays of the sun inside-out. :D

    OH.. Another tip..

    I use skinwhite powerwhitening soap.. Pero pag tight ako sa budget ang binibili ko eh ung bioderm whitening germicidal soap.. “melfade” ung main ingredient for lightening. ung maliit costs almost 20php.. ung malaki almost 30php lng.. Ok ung effect nya.. At isa lng ang naririnig ko sa mga nirekomendahan ko with the soap noon hanggan ngayon.. Di daw sila mabilis umitim, and witness ako jan.. Naglakad ako under the sun noon without applying any lotion with UVA/UVB filters.. So sabi ko sa self ko, “hay iitim na naman ako nito”. To my surprise paguwi ko, parang wala namang nagbago.. hehe..

    Napancn din ng mom ko pati na ng 2 close friends ko na di cla madaling umitim dahil sa soap na un.. Wala pa akong allowance kaya im’ma use this brand muna.. ok rin naman eh, trusted brand rin naman ang bioderm when it comes to family soaps..

    Pero mga guys, hinay2x lng sa mga ka.ekekan sa balat ha, kawawa ang liver natin.. Watever we apply sa skin ang liver ang nagfifilter sa mga chemicals from the products that we use.. Whoah, ang haba na ng post na to ah.. hahaha.. cge hanggang dito nlang..
