Glycolic acid for underarms: benefits and how to use it
Share
Glycolic acid has become a popular underarm product because it gently removes dead skin, which helps dark underarms look lighter, smooths rough texture and helps prevent ingrown hairs. Many people also find their underarms feel fresher when skin is exfoliated regularly.
Benefits
- Helps dark underarms look lighter and more even
- Smooths rough, bumpy skin
- Helps prevent ingrown hairs after shaving
- Leaves the skin feeling fresh and clean
How to use it
- At night, wash and fully dry your underarms.
- Spray the 5% Glycolic Acid Toner directly onto the skin.
- Let it dry; no need to rinse.
- Start 2 to 3 nights a week; increase to nightly if comfortable.
- Apply deodorant in the morning.
Why 5%?
Underarm skin is thin and sensitive. 5% is a gentle strength for regular use. Stronger isn't better here; it is more likely to sting.
Safety tips
- Wait 24 to 48 hours after shaving or waxing.
- Don't use on cuts, rashes or broken skin.
- Don't layer with other strong acids on the same night.
- Stop if it burns or turns red.
What to expect
Smoother skin in 2 to 3 weeks; a lighter look in 4 to 8 weeks. Keep going 2 to 3 nights a week to maintain results.
Roman Urdu
