Dark armpits can arise from reasons as small as friction on the skin as we move them! Its completely normal. It gets dark because of hyperkeratosis(reaction to friction).

in case anyone reads my comment, PLEASE DONT KEEP THE COTTON PAD FOR ANY LONGER THAN 5 MINS. I’m assuming the influencer used The Ordinary AHA BHA peeling solution. And even if you do apply the serum atleast dilute it and rinse it off! The skin under there is extremely sensitive and it might lead to even more darkness. Please consult a dermatologist rather than doing irreversible damage to your skin.
don’t dilute it, just do a patch test and use it for a few minutes max. it shouldn’t be combined with water or applied to wet or compromised skin (like post shaving!)
The Ordinary AHA BHA peeling solution isn’t even available in Australia where I live, because of how much Glycolic acid is in there. Peels that strong can only be used in professional skin clinics over here
Armpit are actually warm areas, which is why they are prone to inflammation especially around the lymph nodes, their so DO NOT TRY THIS because of the video it may have not gone wrong with her but it may go wrong with you. It is not recommended by the dermatologists infact it is a big no from them!
Use glycolic acid cream and don't use razors. Use chemist at play roll on. Be gentle and Use hands to wash your underarms. Don't Use harsh scrubs. You'll def notice the difference.
DO NOT do it straightly for ten minutes without a test. And better dont do it at all. Better get yourself a crem with parsley, it can lighten up dark spots after breakouts as well. Acids in the armpits, where we have lymph nodes and highly sensitive skin... not a safe idea
Just letting you know that your eye patch’s as on backwards the bigger part should be closer to your nose and the thin part should be closer to the end of you’re eyebrow ❤
I couldn't imagine dedicating time in my life to lightening my armpits. I spent 10 years spending far to much time on my physical appearance, removing hair, makeup, treatments ugh. Some people enjoy that, but I never did. I feel free now.
TO 7% Glycolic Acid is better as its wayyyyy more gentler than this. Still, id be very wary of putting exfoliating acids on the underarms. The skin there can be very sensitive
It is not gentil, 7% is actually very strong and should not be used in the armpits. And the Ordinary toner doesn't have soothing, calming and or anti-inflamatory ingredients like Krave beauty's or Beauty of Joseon's. Don't recommend it, specially for warm areas and non-white skin
@maca9066 100% agree. I just said that the 7% glycolic acid toner would be a better option for the underarms than this 30% AHA 2% BHA Peel cause it would be less irritating. I still wouldn't recommend putting acids there
My underarm got so dark during pregnancy I was so desperate for them to lighten so I resorted to stuff like this. It burned and got worse that it also irritated the skin around that area. Like I have a huge red patch in the beginning that turned brown on both upper right and left sides of my body near my boobs, and also on the skin on both arms (the skin that touches your sides). Took weeks for the irritation to completely go away. Took months for the discoloration to kinda lighten. So since then I just followed my mom',$ advise not to use anything like this and just stick to my holy grail Milcu Deo 😂
@@user-mn5ed9hq1s I'm not sure if it's available in other countries but in the Philippines it's a deo made of a more traditional body odor remedy which is potassium alum (tawas). Tawas used to be sold like tiny shards of glass (not sharp though) in small packets but Milcu got it to powdered form and they now have a roll on as well. It's claim to fame is that it's a natural deo for both feet and underarms.
I do this once a month and it's amazing! The first time I did it my underarms became instantly light.. imagine.. almost 2-3 shades lighter!!! My underarms were glowing!!! 😂 This is a fantastic product for dark underarms! Gives instant result.
I don't know if all of y'all have used The Ordinary's peeling solution, but I left it on my face for over 12 hours once, and my face didn't fall off! Nothing bad happened. My skin was more soft, red, and sensitive than usual, but other than that, I was fine. I don't use much of the product, or use it often, only once a week at most usually, but a lot y'all seem to think it'll cause horrible chemical burns for most people. I've heard of the stories, but I haven't experienced anything like that myself. Regardless, everyone should always learn what's best for the skin and be careful with acids and health in general. Always patch test and carefully introduce potent stuff in increments, especially when advised to. Read labels.
Warning: I tested an acid peel on my face, it was fine and I used it, very effective. However, I did not test it separately on my neck and used it there as well. Now I have pink welts all over the front of my neck. Lesson learned: face and neck skin is NOT the same.
I never tried this, but I use TO's Glycolic Acid after every shower. It helps with armpit color but also acts as an anti perspirant. I have rosacea-prone, sensitive skin so unless you're sensitive to it, using the toner will probably be fine. For this peel - I can't say.
@@priyaj3092 It works quite well for me! I sweat very easily/noticeably even when I wear deodorant, and using the toner helps me control that. I get less sweaty & less smelly, and it's a lifesaver on those days where I forget my deodorant altogether. And I haven't experienced any side effects! Just don't do it right after shaving as your skin will be very sensitive and it'll burn.
I used to have dark armpits when my mom forced me to shave everyday. But since I stopped shave since 6 years ago I noticed my skin got clear and lighter. So from now on I just shave for important days lol
@@yileaf yep, is just whenever i used a razor 🪒 at the next day the hair already be growing, and i live in a hot country so whenever I used sleeveless tops she started to say body shame comments but I didn't also wanted do this everyday. It literally was a torment for my armpits. I just decided stop doing that and never use again sleeveless tops, but i guess this is why they got brighter now. I just shave whenever I want use a cute top oftentimes :)
@@yileaf It is sad, I would never do that with my kid. One of the main reasons why armpits gets darker it's because of the razor, i know it's the more easy method. But I would invest in a laser treatment or just accept the fact armpit hair it's normal lol 😭
I invested in laser hair removal and it's one of the best investments I have ever made. I just go back like every 6 mos for maintenance. Super worth it.
@@Angelicpale im so glad youre better now, i cant even imagine the skin irritation and pain that comes with shaving everyday.. i will never understand mothers like this i just cant
People diss her for doing her own self care eventhough she didn't claim to be a derm, and you guys still advised her like a derm. I can't with internet culture. Everyone takes everything as an offense 🙄 Like I'm more annoyed with dermatologist influencers ended up selling their own brands 🤷♀️
Same, I stopped using antiperspirants with baking soda and aluminum, and it's helped me lighten my armpits. I also do not shave as much as other women. When I do, I just use Nair.
It’s normal to have dark armpit. But I think this works if you still want that glowy armpit and have the ability to maintain it. Cuz like every skincare routine, everything needs maintenance.
Just my thought : i think a toner/ essence with niacinamide and a mild aha would do, niacinamide brightens up the skin and the aha kill that odor bacteria and gently exfoliate the skin
I don’t shave either but still have dark armpits. I’ve always had it and was always envious of my sister’s light armpits and she shaves! I don’t even use deodorant, but if I do, I also buff it out like you 😭 I got the genes for it or something
Wow, I've never heard of epilating. I might need to try this because Nair never gets all of the hair off, and I don't like shaving because it darkens my pits.
Dont do this people, i used an acid cleanser once under my armpits and not only did it burn my under arms but it also gave me instense B.O for about 6 months despite me showering every day until my body healed 😂👍🏼no one gives a shit if you've got dark armpits, trust me.
If you do this, treat the area as a burn and don't do it to often. Acid pealing can help prevent ingrown hairs, but it's probably better to us a milder one; PHA is more suitable for sensitive skin. Light scrub could also work as an alternative if you dont want to buy anything.
When I stopped using deodorant and was careful with my diet, my underarms were no longer dark. It's always what you put inside your body that matters because what you put inside will appear outside.
To stop dark armpits is to wash them very well exfoliate. Washing them thoroughly and rubbing your deodorant in instead of slapping it on will prevent it
It's just a natural part of skin... I used to have a friend who would always comment on my underarms how nice and light they were. It's kind of crazy what some people stress over.
Nope this is soo not suitable for skin of color (including Asian) with time it can worsen your hyperpigmentstion (Alpha Arbutan, Kojic, Mandelic and Lactic acid 5% are safer)
I’ve looked at that before and somebody explained to me that it is a very powerful chemical and should only be used with very good aftercare. It would be horrible (at least for me) to put under the armpits as that is a very sensitive area, even more sensitive than the face
If your armpits are dark and it's not from some other underlying health condition (ie it's superficial) just scrubbing the armpits gently every day and applying a body cream/lotion can help a lot. Even using a sugar scrub gently in that area works. It doesnt take that long to see a change.
Can we collectively stop caring about people who want to make us feel bad about arbitrary crap like dark parts on our body? Not to hate on this creator specifically but I believe we as women have the power to just stop obsessing over these things and/or making other women and men make us feel bad about these things
It’s The Ordinary AHA 30% BHA 2% exfoliating peeling serum. It is a very very strong acid that I would strongly recommend against applying to underarms. I use L’Oréal 3.5% Glycolic acid cleansing gel on my underarms and I have no irritation at all.
I switched my deodorant to one with no aluminum in it and my dark armpits went away! I was also getting blocked pores that would turn into abscess from the deodorant clogging my pores. I use native but there’s way cheaper options for those of us ballin on a budget- or just embrace your dark pits because nobody is looking at them besides you lol! Don’t do what’s shown in this video, the skin under our armpits is different from our face and you could be doing more harm than good
DO NOT USE THIS FOR THE FULL 10 MINUTES IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME USING IT!!! The brand even WARNS you to build a tolerance to it and that can take months!
![COLOMBIA vs. CHILE [4-0] | RESUMEN | ELIMINATORIAS SUDAMERICANAS | FECHA 10](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TDjN4W3yy1k/mqdefault.jpg)
Please be careful with that! The skin under the armpits is very sensitive and the acid could even burn the skin
Absolutely right! My armpits skin ripped open bleeding and turn black! I was in pain and sensitive even with water! It took me over 2 months

I don’t shave either but still have dark armpits. I’ve always had it and was always envious of my sister’s light armpits and she shaves! I don’t even use deodorant, but if I do, I also buff it out like you 😭 I got the genes for it or something
Wow, I've never heard of epilating. I might need to try this because Nair never gets all of the hair off, and I don't like shaving because it darkens my pits.
Dont do this people, i used an acid cleanser once under my armpits and not only did it burn my under arms but it also gave me instense B.O for about 6 months despite me showering every day until my body healed 😂👍🏼no one gives a shit if you've got dark armpits, trust me.
Personal experience: cut sugar and carb
👆
My face literally went from: 👀 to 😳🤯😳🤯
That is such a strong chemical peel! Be super careful y’all
What is she putting on the cotton pad?
Is this the ordinary serum? I love this stuff!
What product are you using?
I’m not sure if this method works or is safe, but it’s always good to see a doctor before removing darkness
What product is this??
The Ordinary
AHA 30% + ВНА 2% Exfoliating Peeling Solution
If you do this, treat the area as a burn and don't do it to often. Acid pealing can help prevent ingrown hairs, but it's probably better to us a milder one; PHA is more suitable for sensitive skin. Light scrub could also work as an alternative if you dont want to buy anything.
What product is being used?
When I stopped using deodorant and was careful with my diet, my underarms were no longer dark. It's always what you put inside your body that matters because what you put inside will appear outside.
To stop dark armpits is to wash them very well exfoliate. Washing them thoroughly and rubbing your deodorant in instead of slapping it on will prevent it
Try sugar waxing or epilating the armpit hair rather than shaving. In my experience shaving can cause darker skin it could also be dry.
It's just a natural part of skin... I used to have a friend who would always comment on my underarms how nice and light they were. It's kind of crazy what some people stress over.
Nope this is soo not suitable for skin of color (including Asian) with time it can worsen your hyperpigmentstion (Alpha Arbutan, Kojic, Mandelic and Lactic acid 5% are safer)
Gylcolic acid 5% too
Azelaic acid as well :3
Wait but it worked for me 😭
Mandelic all the waaaaay
I’ve looked at that before and somebody explained to me that it is a very powerful chemical and should only be used with very good aftercare. It would be horrible (at least for me) to put under the armpits as that is a very sensitive area, even more sensitive than the face
Is that peeling solution?😮
Name of product
it also helps with underarm odor
My brown skin girlies please avoid any acid based products for hyperpigmentation especially under your arms cause it just gets darker
Thank you for sharing this nice tip. Everyone else can normalize dark armpits lol. We have different beauty standards.
Just use a gentle facial physical exfoliator for your underarms. Underarms have sensitive skins, please.
Just a reminder : It's not for everyone, People with sensitive skin can burn their skin.
If your armpits are dark and it's not from some other underlying health condition (ie it's superficial) just scrubbing the armpits gently every day and applying a body cream/lotion can help a lot. Even using a sugar scrub gently in that area works. It doesnt take that long to see a change.
Omgie what is she using ?
Why does she look like the gorgeous siren from LD+R
The obsession with perfect body is getting outta hands fr. 🙄😒
Can people do what they want?
@@jakeparelta1029 of course but without promoting.
We live in crazy times man. Crazy times, crazy people. Eventually they’ll forget how to breed.
@@amytrezy2307 how is that promoting? Is she telling you to do this?
@@jakeparelta1029She's literally showing you how to use them and suggesting us to use it for our armpits. Lol
Don't need a doctor degree to see smth is wrong with this recommendation 😂
Just use a lemon or a lime as deodrant in the morning after washing. Fades darks marks and you dont smell!
What is it? The name or brand?
What are these things called and are they good? 😊
Everybody’s always obsessed with lightening everything
Can we collectively stop caring about people who want to make us feel bad about arbitrary crap like dark parts on our body? Not to hate on this creator specifically but I believe we as women have the power to just stop obsessing over these things and/or making other women and men make us feel bad about these things
I immediately looking for some cotton pads 😂😂😂
What are you using?
What gets me is she doesn't even have that issue
Your armpits are supposed to be slightly darker yall, it’s how they function
Unfortunately alot of women of colour are made fun of for having it. Especially if you have dark skin.
No actually . Not for everyone
Righttt, groin area and underarms are in general a little bit pigmented than the other places in the body because of the everyday chafing
Girl but your armpits are perfectly light with no skin darkening
maybe because she did this bozo
@@FaithMichelle420 wdym bozo, her armpits are light on every vid you'll see so
Wait this actually blow my mind lol, gotta try it
What’s the product!???
It’s The Ordinary AHA 30% BHA 2% exfoliating peeling serum. It is a very very strong acid that I would strongly recommend against applying to underarms. I use L’Oréal 3.5% Glycolic acid cleansing gel on my underarms and I have no irritation at all.
Is it the ordinary serum????
Mhm
The fact that I can not anderstand this trend make me cry🙂💔
I heard from a dermatologist, people with dark underarms should not wax and not use loofah on the under arms the skin there is too sensitive.
Dermatologists exist for a reason guys.
I switched my deodorant to one with no aluminum in it and my dark armpits went away! I was also getting blocked pores that would turn into abscess from the deodorant clogging my pores. I use native but there’s way cheaper options for those of us ballin on a budget- or just embrace your dark pits because nobody is looking at them besides you lol! Don’t do what’s shown in this video, the skin under our armpits is different from our face and you could be doing more harm than good
What is that?
I'm thinking of using this on my feet cos my dead skin accumulates fast on my legs/feet
Yeah I followed one of the influencer on instagram.. and burned my armpits like horribly. NEVER follow that🙅🏻♀️❌
DO NOT USE THIS FOR THE FULL 10 MINUTES IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME USING IT!!!
The brand even WARNS you to build a tolerance to it and that can take months!
Please be careful with AHA peels, and actives in general
Be happy your don’t have dark armpits from having such dark thick armpit hair. I’m French y’all don’t know the struggle.
What is that stuff?
Also on the elbows, knuckles, hands, knees and behind 😊😂
