Sweaty armpit solutions?✨ Glycolic/lactic Acid

Hey guys, have you ever tried using Glycolic Acid or Lactic Acid under your arm pitts? I read recently that by using GA or LA can it harder for odor-causing bacteria to survive. As those bacteria don’t trive well in a low PH enviroment. It doesn’t prevent you prom sweating and won’t stop the “wetness” but it can actually help with smell. I’ve recently started doing this every few days with my lactic acid. I have to say I feel like it works. Just trying to not do it too often cause I don’t want to over exfoliate my arm pits. Have you guys tried it? What are your thoughts on this topic? 😊

First time trying it I was amazed! I think after a while doing it you kinda missed that first time feeling cuz you grow to get use to it but it still works for me, I use it once a week, twice at most for armpit, elbow and my knee. I barely do my body scrub anymore😄

Very good. I normally don’t exfoliate my body much. But once I saw this hack I had to try it for the armpits. Not really for the exfoliation but the odor. Donyou feel like there is a difference in odor when you use it?
