I heard that you can rub a lemon under your arms to make it lighter. I haven't tried it, but it might work. When I notice darkness under my arms, I use a new razor. Also, mka esure you use shaving cream, especially in that area. And try not to shave as much.

Thanks for your reply cw2004. I will try that lemon remedy.

I used to shave my armpits 3 years ago when I noticed my armpits getting darker. Now, I either wax them or pluck them because I hear that shaving them might be the cause of the dark armpits.

Have you gained any weight? I know underarm darkness is caused most of the time by skin friction. If it's not that, then maybe you should try to efoliate the skin there with a washcloth or loofah.

I also tried magic cream and it's really effective.I've already seen some results in a week.After 3 weeks i've seen that my underarms are not dark anymore.You can visit the site.They have photos of before and after the result. Edit I hope your problem is solved.

I accidently discovered godiva deodorant and ever since i've used it, my underarms have become lighter :d . Now I also use a combination of their whitening soap and cream and my underarms look better than ever. Im asian and one of our problems really is dark underarms. I think godiva is available online. Someone posted a link to their site, so I guess you can order thru that link. Beliv you me, it's the best product iv tried for my dark underarms.

Hello people,

i just want to share what I used to whiten my under arms, its called the derma peeling set, where the dark skin on the underarms is peeled... It really worked very good on me. I have had very very dark underarms and it did work for me very fast though! I have to repaeat the process twice since my first peeling did not make my u.A. As white as I wanted it. Bt on my second session of peeling onthe product it already very very nice! Peeling should be spaced in 3 months!

Also, make sure you use deodorant that does not contain fragrance and other ingredients that can irritate the underarms. This can help as well.

:oops: I have dark underarms too :oops:
i have given that product a try and I am so impressed! :wink:

U can try different underarm whitening creams. I had the same problem before but i'm stisfied with this product I am currently using. I stopped using roll-ons as well as they often leave sticky residue.

I agree with th waxing comments. My armpits where lighter after the first wax.
