I’ve been avoiding it long enough, but here it is: Gluta-C
Underarm and Bikini Skin Whitening Gel. Why have I been avoiding it? Because,
honestly, I’m not a very consistent user and it isn’t fair of me to talk about
it without giving it a fair shake, metaphorically speaking.
However, since it’s been with me for a while now, I think
that this is already about the most compliant I can be with this product, and
this is what I’ve found compared to its claims:

1.
Whitening – no, but it has been preventing further
darkening. Some would say that I should be using it everyday twice a day for a
long period of time to see the whitening effect, but I believe that part of
what makes a product effective is how well people can stick to it. And try as I
have, I can’t really stick to it.
2.
Delays hair growth – no, but my hair doesn’t
grow quickly. More hirsute users might see a difference.
3.
Softens and smoothens skin – yes, it helps
prevent unsightly bumps.
4.
Antibacterial – not sure. You can use it without
an anti-perspirant and it will keep you fresh for a few hours, but not as well
as one.
5.
Fragrance-free – yes. You’re actually supposed
to use this product under a deodorant.
By the way, I’ve just been using it on my underarms, so it
might be a different case for different areas.

Now, this product is a water based gel, so it sinks faster
than a cream, but not as quickly as I would like. I end up wasting time in the
morning just waiting for it to dry so most days, I end up using this only at
night. It doesn't seem to stain clothes, but I wait until it's completely dry before wearing anything with sleeves.
I haven’t seen the whitening and hair growth delay on once a day
application. Since I can't get to perfect-use, I can just say that at my usual-use, it has no whitening and hair growth retarding effect. However, since it does reduce friction between skin, it might prevent further skin darkening and have a "lightening" effect on some people.
What I do like about this product is that I can use it the next
day post wax as it’s perfectly sting-free and soothes the redness that remains.
I end up using this as a deodorant for a few days, so I do see value in it: but
not as a skin whitener. It also comes in a tube, which makes it very hygienic.

Will I repurchase this? Maybe, At P200, it works quite well as a post-wax product without the heavy price tag, but I don't see myself finishing this tube anytime soon.
