  We, filipinos are looking forward to have a healthy white skin.Most specially women.Although we had have enough beauty care products that can eventually whiten our skin but their is always a single product that is well known to us and it is glutathione. Most of the women who happened to have dark complexion would always want to try the said medicine.Although glutathione is not a guaranteed skin whitener because as what i have known, glutathione is undoubtedly a potent antioxidant, indications for its use as a supplement are not yet well established. There is preliminary evidence that it might eventually prove to be useful in the management of some cancers, atherosclerosis, diabetes, lung disorders, noise-induced hearing loss, male infertility and to help prevent or ameliorate various toxicities. But being white or should i say someone who take the medicine and happened to have fairer skin is only the side effect of glutathione. This medicine said to reduce the melanin of the body. Although their are clinics who perform the glutathione injection for those people who happened to have darks spots and they want to eliminate it right away. But to those who aim to have whiter complexion, why dont you give it a try? Glutathione is safe and basically almost all of the person who tried it is proven to have whiter complexion than ever before.

Inside the pore are sebaceous glands which produce sticky sebum. When the outer layers of skin shed (as it does continuously), the dead skin cells left behind may become ‘glued’ together by the sticky sebum. This causes a blockage in the pore, especially when the skin becomes thicker at puberty ^[1]. The sebaceous glands produce more sebum which builds up behind the blockage, and this sebum harbours bacteria (P.Acnes bacteria). Since the body’s natural defence against bacteria is primarily phagocytes (white blood cells), these rush to the site behind the blockage (where the bacteria are). This is what gives some pimples the ‘whiteheads’ (unless the Phagocytes are deeper in the skin, which means you can’t see the ‘white’ caused by them). The white blood cells then destroy (by phagocytosis) the bacteria to prevent infection. 

Treatment:
Common over-the-counter medications for pimples are Benzoyl peroxide and/or salicylic acid. Both medications can be found in many creams and gels used to treat acne through topical application. Both medications help skin slough off easier, which helps to remove bacteria faster. A regimen of keeping the affected skin area clean plus the regular application of these topical medications is usually enough to keep acne under control, if not at bay altogether. 1-2% of the population is allergic to Benzoyl peroxide treatments.
