Stop burning your underarms with Glycolic acid! Use this instead

[@Shrads]

I love glycolic acid for face but it's a pass for underarms ❌ The use of glycolic acid on underarms is generally not recommended for individuals with darker skin tones due to the potential risk of hyperpigmentation or darkening of the skin. Darker skin tones tend to be more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is the darkening of the skin that occurs after inflammation or irritation. Glycolic acid is an exfoliating agent that can help improve skin texture and tone, but it can also cause irritation and increased sensitivity, especially in sensitive areas like the underarms. When applied to darker skin tones, the risk of triggering hyperpigmentation is higher, as the melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) in darker skin are more reactive. It is important for individuals with darker skin tones to be cautious when using strong exfoliants like glycolic acid in sensitive areas such as the underarms. It’s advisable to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional who can provide personalized recommendations based on your specific skin type and concerns.

[@AYRIN513]

Hey can u share link of kojic acid

[@pratibhadevaraj723]

Yes, like you pointed it out, these parts are darker due to thicker skin meant to protect areas that are prone to friction. High time we accept our bodies wholly.

[@namratagupta10]

Finally someone told about this product in detail. People r generalizing this toner like anything

[@shree173]

And they are right about it,talking from personal experience

[@wheresthelambsauce8273]

Maybe its not for everyone, but its a lie that it doesn't work. I'm a black girl and it definitely worked for me. There are rules to using the glycolic acid. Use it 3 times a week AT MOST. Don't do it daily, space out the days you use it. Apply a few drops of the glycolic acid to a cotton pad or even just your fingers and apply it to the darkened area. A little goes a long way. Wait 5 minutes and moisturize the area (don't use Vaseline or aquaphor). And you NEED to do it at night, DO NOT apply it during daytime because the sun will burn your skin. Do it after sunset please. A little darkness in those areas is totally normal, but having those areas be 4x darker is usually caused by something and some people just want to fix it to feel more confident.

What moisturizer brand do you recommend?

I use glycolic acid and exfoliate before shower and wash it off. Then apply vitamin C oil to brighten and moisture. Been helpful to me

What about neck area? Which brand you are using?

This product did wonders to my tanned hands,elbows,knees and underarms.I just use it 3times per week.I’m a yellowish not much faired skinned indian. For skin and hair care please see what works for you as everyone’s body is different.

[@rashanavas9112]

which product?

[@GamingwithAsh221B]

If you have serious high pigmentation I would suggest y'all to get your sugar level checked since it's common in diabetics to have hyperpigmentation

[@surbhisingh5471]

I agree with you. I hate this existing beauty standards which one can never satisfy

[@ellipss1221]

[@seemonjena659]

Yeah so true! For most girls having a darker skin tone in their underarms is a matter of low self-esteem because of the sick beauty standards that are being promoted by our society.

[@aeshamehta2432]

Your knuckles: 🟤⚫ Her knuckles:🟠🟡⚪ Your elbows: 🟤🟤⚫ Her elbows: 🟡🟠🌸 ... Girl you normalizing it because you got that but the one who suffers from uneven skintone knows the pain! Fr the problem isn't dark the problem is why the skintone isn't even when many people do carry a smooth elbow and good knuckles, even when I was a child I agree that I didn't had the smooth underarms but atleast it wasn't looking gross for sure, the skin tone was even and now I don't know why? But My armpits now: 🌗🌓🌗🌓 fr I'm not even kidding at this point, my sister told me not to shave it leads darkness but nowadays I'm seeing people saying that don't use wax use laser treatment or shave 👽 wth!! Edit: a bit of darkness is normal which is a shade ahead to your skin though so don't take efforts to remove that it's normal and not even noticeable so chill But I don't have that I got 3x darker tone in few parts of underarms (compare to my actual tone)

[@akshatabadiger9205]

[@zarinkhan9595]

All you need is money....then you can go to dermatologists and get beauty treatments and also can buy expensive skin care products

[@user-hy8rg9ef2f]

If it's way too dark, you have some underlying health issue. Get it checked first. Also when our weight increases all of sudden, it is normal to get thicker darker skin at folds.

[@blurryblueee]

use kojic acid soap or serum at night only followed by moisturizer

[@shomshomni2314]

Shaving can cause dark underarms. The hairs grow back blunt which causes lots of irritation if you have thick hair. It's better to epilate and use an alcohol free antiperspirant. My underarms look so good since I switched.

[@reeffle]

i used this for 4 months with no issues almost DAILY once before sleeping, and it actually brightened my underarms i was so happy, then suddenly it caused me baddd itchiness for weeks on end and i assumed it was some food related but i decided to stop using it and around 2 weeks later my itchiness stopped, but i genuinely need another solution to dark underarms

[@wheresthelambsauce8273]

Moisturize the area you applied it to after using it. And please don't use it almost daily, especially if you have sensitive skin. Space out the days you use it, maybe 3x a week.

Darker skinned people can react negatively to kojic and positively to glycolic as well. You can inform the public without absolutes like “never use…” and still get the message across effectively.

What does you do with your old clothes?

[@alwaysglistening]

Yes, it’s obviously normal, but undesired. We don’t have to normalize things we find undesirable … also, it’s fine to use this toner. I am dark skinned and have been using it since October 2023 and it’s significantly helped with no burning. Just don’t use it everyday. Dark skin is a build up of dead skin cells so you’re just exfoliating/toning your armpits back to their normal color, that’s it.

[@shanzanox4466]

Umm I am just like you and I have used that exact glycolic acid, with a cotton pad while rubbing into the armpit till it foams up for a while. Then I use a light exfoliate toner like the skin1004 centella toner to exfoliate the area. Tried this every 2 days for a week and it went from dark brown+grey to near skin brown.

Just say most people should take caution, ⛔️ don’t just dismiss it 😅
