Glycolic Acid on Underarms

I keep seeing this trend saying that it whitens the underarms. Is it true? I also see some experts saying it's not really recommended as it harms the sensitive skin in that area. I really want to whiten my underarms but I am unsure of which products are actually safe so please give tips also in the comments

I've seen many skinfluencers say this is good to reduce underarm odour too. It should be used once every 2-3 days. Just pat it on as you would on your face ☺️

Glycolic acid's penetration can easily restore balance to your armpits, dislodging the bacteria breaking down your sweat, to create a fresh and odorless environment. It has worked wonders for people with a variety of skin types and has quickly become one of the hottest products on the market.

I prefer to use mild mandelic acid for my underarms area. It is softer and doesn't harm the sensetive area.

It may work for some but it can darken your underarms more because the skin in our underarms are sensitive and too thin.
