TL;DR – Maxi-White at a Glance
Maxi-White is a doctor-formulated oral skincare supplement designed to support brighter, clearer, and more resilient skin. Taken once daily, it offers comprehensive benefits that include:
- Helps lighten pigmentation and even out skin tone
- Supports daily UV protection from within
- Reduces skin dullness and enhances radiance
- Fights oxidative stress and signs of premature aging
- Complements topical sunblock for full-body skin defence
Maxi-White is ideal for individuals concerned about pigmentation, sun exposure, and achieving long-term skin clarity.
Why Choose an Oral Sunblock and Skin Whitening Supplement?
UV damage and pigmentation are among the most common skin concerns in Singapore’s sun-rich climate. While topical sunscreens are essential, they come with limitations — frequent reapplication every 4 to 6 hours can be difficult to maintain, especially for busy individuals. Additionally, most people apply sunscreen only to the face, leaving large areas like the neck, arms, and back unprotected.
Oral sunblock supplements offer an inside-out approach to skin protection and brightening. By delivering potent antioxidants through the bloodstream, they help shield the skin from within — covering areas that are often missed with topical sunblock.
At our clinic, we developed Maxi-White as a comprehensive oral skincare supplement that provides both UV protection and pigmentation control in a convenient, once-daily dose.
This dual-action supplement:
- Enhances skin’s resilience to UV exposure
- Reduces pigmentation from within
- Supports antioxidant defence against free radical damage
- Promotes a brighter, more even skin tone over time
Note: Oral sunblock supplements are not a replacement for topical sunscreen. They are best used as part of a comprehensive sun protection strategy.
Key Benefits of Maxi-White Oral Supplement
✔️ UVA and UVB Protection
Helps reduce the effects of daily sun exposure by enhancing the skin’s natural defence against harmful ultraviolet rays.
✔️ Skin Brightening and Pigmentation Control
Supports the reduction of dark spots and uneven skin tone through melanin pathway modulation and antioxidant action.
✔️ Potent Antioxidant Support
Combats oxidative stress caused by free radicals, one of the primary drivers of skin ageing and inflammation.
✔️ Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Ingredients like Polypodium Leucotomos and Pine Bark Extract help calm skin inflammation and reduce UV-induced redness.
✔️ Anti-Ageing Benefits
Slows the signs of premature ageing by protecting collagen, supporting skin elasticity, and reducing photoaging damage.
How Maxi-White Supports Skin Whitening and UV Protection from Within
Maxi-White is formulated with a powerful blend of clinically studied antioxidants and botanical extracts that work synergistically to support skin brightening and protect against photoaging. Each ingredient is carefully selected to target different pathways involved in pigmentation, inflammation, and oxidative stress.
Colourless Carotenoids – Natural UV Absorbers and Skin Lighteners
Extracted from non-GMO white tomatoes, colourless carotenoids (phytoene and phytofluene) are potent antioxidants that absorb UVA and UVB rays. These compounds:
- Inhibit melanin synthesis at the cellular level
- Reduce pigmentation and promote skin lightening
- Neutralise free radicals caused by sun exposure
This helps to protect skin from photoaging and maintain a brighter, more even complexion.
Polypodium Leucotomos – Botanical-Based Sun Protection
Derived from a tropical fern, Polypodium Leucotomos has been widely researched for its oral photoprotective properties. Clinical studies show that it:
- Reduces UV-induced DNA damage in skin cells
- Prevents sunburn and pigmentation
- Exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity
This ingredient supports overall skin resilience to UV exposure, making it a key component of oral sunblock formulations.
Glutathione – Master Antioxidant for Skin Brightening
Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant naturally produced in the body. When taken orally, it:
- Suppresses the production of dark melanin (eumelanin)
- Promotes the formation of lighter melanin (phaeomelanin)
- Scavenges free radicals to slow signs of aging
Widely studied for its skin whitening effects, glutathione is a cornerstone of pigmentation control supplements.
L-Cystine – Glutathione Support and Pigment Inhibitor
L-cystine works synergistically with glutathione by:
- Supporting glutathione synthesis
- Suppressing tyrosinase activity, the enzyme responsible for melanin formation
- Stimulating skin renewal
This enhances the overall skin-lightening effect and helps maintain youthful, radiant skin.
Pine Bark Extract – Anti-Inflammatory and Brightening Booster
Rich in proanthocyanidins, pine bark extract is known for its ability to:
- Reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in skin cells
- Enhance skin luminosity and elasticity
- Support microcirculation and nutrient delivery to the skin
It acts as a potent anti-aging ingredient that further boosts skin clarity and tone.
Vitamin C – Antioxidant Shield and Collagen Support
Vitamin C plays a dual role by:
- Protecting the skin against UV-induced oxidative damage
- Enhancing collagen synthesis and skin healing
- Supporting the depigmentation effects of glutathione
Its inclusion ensures comprehensive antioxidant coverage and visible skin radiance.
What Is the Scientific Basis Behind Oral Sunblock and Skin Whitening Supplements?
The use of oral supplements for sun protection and pigmentation control is supported by growing scientific evidence. Clinical studies have shown that certain antioxidants — including Polypodium Leucotomos, Glutathione, and Colourless Carotenoids — can reduce UV-induced skin damage, inhibit melanin production, and improve overall skin clarity when taken orally.
These ingredients work by:
- Reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in skin cells
- Inhibiting tyrosinase activity, a key enzyme in melanin synthesis
- Enhancing the skin's natural resistance to UV damage
