2023: influencers acting like dermatologists
For the "thumbs up", I guess.
Its just an over the counter product …so literally anyone can use without a doctors advice fyi
True😳
thats actually an amazing tip. plus its an over the counter produtc. will you comment that also on every food video saying they are not nutritionists????? 😂😂😂
I mean it is aha bha over the counter product i don't see what's wrong here
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
Isn’t your face just as sensitive? I’ve never had a problem with it and I have sensitive skin. Just don’t leave it on for too long or do it after shaving because 😬 that would hurt
Yeah I wish I knew that when I started using tea tree oil 😂😂😂
@@melonmochiii no the skin on your armpits is more similar to the skin on your chest, breast, top of feet. It's thin like paper, our skin is thicker than you may think. Under the eyes are similar too actually! Sorry an after thought. But our face is like mango skin where as armpits and the other areas mentions are like... Lettuce. Oh and they constantly are running against each other.. like your inner thighs that can chafe on its own.
Exactly people complain that it’s too harsh on their face and proceed to use it on their armpits
Can we pls normalize dark armpits 😭 I get mine from running and swinging my arms lol
We can, but it doesn’t hurt to show safe ways to fade them. A gentle AHA toner would’ve been better than this though.
Can we normalize being adult women cuz at this point we're not allowed to have any featurws that show we're human or adult
@@gummy5862 I see u everywhere
No one cares about your armpits. No one in real life cares as much about this kind of stuff as people on the internet do.
we're not normalizing that shit! it's ugly
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).
Normal but I can be lightened and corrected. Except you suffer from PCOS or something medical
@@shachede6828 why "correct" when you can accept?? ( Except PCOS ofc)
@@Priyanka-qk9ur bcs ppl have preferences? They can choose to "correct" it or accept it, why are you even confused lol
@@Uynnie. sharing my thoughts, chill
@@shachede6828 do you know how to lighten? 😢
I'm done caring about discoloration. It's just not that big an issue. I'm healthy, I'm good
yes!! it’s natural & perfectly fine
Same haha. The darkness just wont go away. I'm done. I'm embracing it hahahaha
this!!! definitely 💯 in the philippines people care about getting whiter skin. i was too before.. but when i came here to Turkiye everyone is telling me how good my morena(brown skin is) especially because mine is glowing, soft and healthy.. they even asked if im doing something to make my skin look really good, which i dont really.. just taking a shower twice daily using pure olive soap and la roche posay lotion. the lotion is pricey but worth it in my opinion especially in the winter… anyway i am so done using whitening products 🤣 as long as i am healthy and not sick im good 👍
I have dark underarms due to PCOS. I also have a thyroid problem, fatty liver and tomorrow is another day of laboratory tests to know my other illness. So instead of being insecure having dark underarms just be thankful if you don't have other underlying illnesses. 😊
Please look up Dr Neal Barnard regarding hormore regulation. The guy saved my life. He sued the USDA twice and founded PCRM.
Yup that's the exact reason I have Dark armpits and genital areas
@@Itsunclegabby well… the PRCM has been accused of being “blatantly misleading” and this doc is mostly about diet etc. and depending on the problems op has that won’t cure it.
Eg thyroid problem (rather common hashimoto)… it’s autoimmune and thus the hormone producing cells have been destroyed. No factory means no hormones. Means take those hormones in a pill.
Food won’t do that.
And pcos as well as hypothyroidism can lead to cholesterol problems etc. so could be connected.
So generally… op will go to their doctors and get a plan fit for them. That’s what’s good.
And to OP: hope you can get all of these issues under control as well as possible and the lab tests will be fine! Good luck.
i had dark underarms, elbows, knees due to low vitamin b ! i’ve never really been a person to be prone to hyperpigmentation but i got it in a span of a couple months. def go see a dermatologist or doctor if it came out of no where for me it was also an underlying condition that led to the low vitamin b
This should be the pinned comment
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.
Also a disclaimer what might have worked for others might not always work for you
@@aparaghosh1302 tbh no one should do this at all
🎉🎉🎉
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
Note: darkening armpits can be* a sign of insulin resistance progressing toward diabetes. Our skin tells us a lot about our health, and focusing only on the aesthetic aspect can keep us from learning important (and potentially lifesaving) information.
*Edit: Holy smokes, folks, I said CAN BE. If dark pits are normal for you, ignore. If it’s a new or worsening thing, be aware that it COULD be clinically significant and ask your doctor if concerned.
Ok but at the same time for people with melanin it’s a common thing for most of us. So diabetes isn’t always the case.
She has dark hair. This smooths the textured skin and you can lighten by getting a closer shave. Blondes can't relate.
@@user-qz3kh4bq7y i know but they straight up said dark pits can be insulin resistance as if it’s thats always the case. So I was just Correcting a bit and notice how I never talked about her I said people with melanin I’m specifically referring to colored people not her.
@@estela_agbegninou8337 I said “darkening” meaning becoming darker than what has been normal for one’s skin. I also said “can be” not “is.” The condition affects all skin tones and types. POC are more at risk of missing it because it’s sometimes written off as normal melanin activity.
@@kale-bopp it’s not “written” off as normal activity it’s just common for most of us. Although it is harder for POC to be diagnosed. We also tend to have dark knees, dark elbows, and our necks and armpits deal with the same type of hyperpigmentation. I deal with that problem and lots of other colored people I know and we aren’t diabetic at all we’re in good shape and healthy but just have hyperpigmentation in those areas. It’s pretty normal for us. But thanks for clarifying the other parts I could’ve read more clearer but won’t agree with the last part.
I heard it’s not safe to use products other than intended especially with this chemical peel. Please be careful it can cause burns
Exactly and burns may lead to hyperpigmentation.
It's safe.
I use it.
Getting only good results.
Use gycolic acid instead
@@aadtie5633 &
@@aadtie5633 or you are lucky?
Some ppl smoke, get sunburns and do drugs and don’t get cancer. Most will though.
Your argument doesn’t work
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.
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 😂
milcu deo?
@@user-mn5ed9hq1s its a deodorant
Just put virgin coconut oil
@@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.
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!
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
Ok what is she using I'm so curious? If it says what it is in the video I'm clearly blind or deaf lol.
@@kristinb3093the ordinary bloody bottle acid
Never had a problem with my dark armpits… still don’t. It’s normal.
Don’t let social media give you new insecurities you‘ve never even thought about!
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 ❤
BRO YHANK UU I see everyone putting the thin part under their eye instead of the thick
That’s way too harsh for the armpits💀 very harmful misinformation if someone attempts this and get a bad reaction
Nowadays, everyone can give skin tips like a dermatologist 😅
Maybe they learned it from the dermatologist
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.
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.
Idk why but why in the world did I actually thought that, that was blood for a second 😅😅😅
Same here 😅😅
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
im sorry.. ur MOM made you shave EVERYDAY??
@@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
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
Why is no one talking about how PRETTY she is 🥰
Using chemical exfoliators also decreases bacteria growth so it prevents some body odor.
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.
You mean..you use glycolic toner for underarms😮🤔 does it work? Does it have any side effects?
@@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.
My face literally went from: 👀 to 😳🤯😳🤯
That is such a strong chemical peel! Be super careful y’all
Yes!! use your platform and half baked knowledge to drive more insecurities into women about every small part of their appearance!
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.
Don't need a doctor degree to see smth is wrong with this recommendation 😂
I use those also. So helpful
I believe a simple exfolant and some light brushing could really help. A simple AHA exfoliant would be more gentle. This seems a little to harsh
Dove's deodorant Even Tone works...and is safe. Huge game changer for me. Simple😊
that davis/jirard combo was 🔥
guys i also recommend glycolic acid it helped me soo muchhh
I’m on day 2 of using this too, hoping it works 🙏
Exactly
@@whatisilyionlyknowipurpleyou dnt use it evryday!
Yes just a much lower level for me
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.
What's the product name?
Product name ?
What product can you please tell me the name??!!
@@jesuspina8875 it looks like the ordinary’s aha bha peeling solution
What product is being used?
Is this Aha BHA from ordinary?
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.
Neat trick I learned was to take a large dose of vitamin c daily. Like 10k mg
my arm pits are not dark because I never shave them, only epilate. I also use a korean mitt to buff out deodorant residue in the shower
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.
What are u using?are that cotton pads?
yall can just use the ordinary glycolic acid for the armpits, much safer than this i think😃
I do the same thing and it actually works really well, but I wouldn’t recommend if you have super sensitive skin. But I don’t so I’m good
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 🤷♀️
What product is this??
Laser hair removal and dry and wet exfoliation was a game changer for my arm pits.
I tried deodrant roll on to prevent body odour but it helped me to brighten my armpits too.
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.
The Dr dray in me is like 👀 you not gonna warn people orrrr
Imma just let them turn dark atp
Personal experience: cut sugar and carb
👆
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
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
Is this the ordinary serum? I love this stuff!
I'm thinking of using this on my feet cos my dead skin accumulates fast on my legs/feet
I once put nair on my armpits for 5 minutes and they were raw for a weak. Any solution that isn’t irritating?
I’m not sure if this method works or is safe, but it’s always good to see a doctor before removing darkness
Wait this actually blow my mind lol, gotta try it
What product are you using?
I immediately looking for some cotton pads 😂😂😂
What is she putting on the cotton pad?
Everybody’s always obsessed with lightening everything
Why does she look like the gorgeous siren from LD+R
I was so scared though u were injured at first look
Please tell me what is the thg that is used!?
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
What gets me is she doesn't even have that issue
The key is to keep them dry as much as possible from sweat.
Just a reminder : It's not for everyone, People with sensitive skin can burn their skin.
Name of product
Thank you for sharing this nice tip. Everyone else can normalize dark armpits lol. We have different beauty standards.
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.
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
Show something for damage skin barrier
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.
Influencers in 2023 : casually burning armpits while thinking they are dermatologists
I just use scrub, the scrub i bought way too harsh for face, i used it for my body scrub lol
Good stuff
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
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
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.
Please be careful with AHA peels, and actives in general
Try sugar waxing or epilating the armpit hair rather than shaving. In my experience shaving can cause darker skin it could also be dry.
As a brown girl my skin is 50 shades of brown -
The fact that I can not anderstand this trend make me cry🙂💔
I can't as paranoid as to be bothered with the color of armpits what's next?
you can't stop unlocking new obsessions
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.
OOOOOOR we can all just accept that our bodies look this way and not create expectations for no reason
I use baby oil (Johnson's Aloe Vera) to lighten my UA and it works.
it also helps with underarm odor
I'm sorry but when she put it on the cotton pad I immediately thought of period blood 😭
hlw. How many hours do you spend a day for ur skin. Love u though❤❤.
Nah my armpits are enough stressed out from shaving
What are these things called and are they good? 😊
What even is that??
Yeah no way my armpits would burn off 😂
Whats the product?
Ooo that’s genius
Oh god I couldn’t do this. My armpits are so sensitive that I can’t even wear deodorant anymore. The skin was a little itchy months ago, I scratched it literally once and it is badly scarred now lol
In reality She’s a 6.The self obsession though😂
I switched to Lume cream deoderant and my armpits were lighter with in 2 months. I know some people of natural deeper pigmentation there, but if you think it's the aluminum in your deoderant causing it, Lume is worth a try.
