I've been exfoliating using a loofah, changed my full of chemical roll on deodorants to chemical-free ones, I'm using natural papaya soap and I've been epilating for the past 2 years instead of shaving. Defiantly lighter underarms that are in better condition overall but they're still really dark. Please recommend any products that can help asap.

Ok, I am very light with freckles on my face. In the summer, my freckles get dark so I use a cream called Esotérica fade cream. I also tried it on my underarms and it did work. I would put it on every night when I would get out of the shower and rinse it off in the morning. My skin is ultra sensitive too and it did not affect my skin at all. It is about $10.00

@Andrea G, so you found it helped with the underarm darkness? Mine constantly look like I have hair there, even when I've just shaved. I'm half Egyptian so that's where all my dark hair is coming from. I epilated for a while and did at-home laser, but neither made a difference. Been using Dove anti persperant and my underarms are definitely more moisturized, but still shadowy. I'm so self conscious about it! I'm in Canada, so hopefully I can find that cream. I like that it's cheap too, because as desperate as I am, all these methods are costing me a fortune I don't have!

Oh yeah, also exfoliating and avoiding using AP/deo when I can as well.

Try changing your deodorant. I used to use dove and had the same issue. I changed brands and scrubbed everyday and it went away.

I tried waxing for a while too. no difference except I had to wait longer in between and couldn't wear sleeveless! I havr even tried plucking every hair. SO time consuming but at least it didn't cost any more money!

Is that baking soda with water into a paste! Or just putting the powder on dry overnight or something! That's one thing I haven't tried.
Thank you!
