FAQ
What causes underarm discoloration?
Underarm darkening can be caused by shaving, friction, buildup of dead skin cells, repeated irritation, and post-inflammatory discoloration. This formula is designed to help visibly improve uneven tone associated with these common concerns.
What is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation?
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a type of discoloration that can appear after the skin experiences irritation or injury. When skin becomes inflamed — from shaving, friction, ingrown hairs, breakouts, or other irritation — it can respond by producing excess pigment, leaving behind darker-looking areas once the irritation subsides.
PIH is not scarring, but rather a temporary change in skin tone that can fade over time. The depth of color and how long it lasts varies depending on skin tone, the level of irritation, and how the area is cared for.
In areas like the underarms, common triggers include shaving, tight clothing friction, and repeated irritation. Consistent use of gentle exfoliating and brightening ingredients can help improve the appearance of uneven tone over time.
Can I use any other skin brightening treatments with this?
Other than our Milk Brightening Bar, we do not recommend using additional brightening products on your underarms.
Will I experience any skin sensitivity after using this product?
Any new products that you introduce to your skin may cause some degree of sensitivity. First, be sure that the skin in your underarms isn't broken or irritated. Then, start by introducing this product 2-3 times a week, eventually increasing to nightly use.
Can I apply this under my deodorant?
For best results, we recommend applying this cream in the evenings onto clean, dry skin without any other creams or deodorants.
How long before I see results?
This formula is designed to deliver both an immediate surface-brightening effect and gradual improvements in tone and texture over time. Because the cause and level of discoloration vary from person to person, results and timing will differ. Consistent daily use is key to achieving optimal results. Most users begin to notice visible improvement within 2–4 weeks of regular application.
