What should we do if the skin in the underarm area is darker?

The dark color of the armpit can develop due to the pigments in the skin, as well as external factors, and additionally due to shaving or other hair removal procedures.

This issue is generally more characteristic of people with darker skin and deeper skin tones. 
How can all of this be improved?

1. Pay attention to what cosmetics, shower gels, and deodorants you use. It's important to choose conscious products not only for your face but also for your body.

2. Always depilate in a hygienic environment! Do not store your razor in a damp place; keep it dry, disinfected, and change it frequently!


3. If dark areas bother you, one of the most effective procedures will be exfoliation. Among these, AHA acids will be effective for you.
You can choose from 2 very great and effective AHA tonics from the Maruderm product line, which are as follows:
- If you are looking for a gentler AHA acid tonic, we recommend the Maruderm AHA Radiant Skin Tonic, which, thanks to its special composition, significantly improves the appearance of skin texture with regular use. While the allantoin component helps the skin heal and renew, it hydrates the skin by increasing its water content, promotes cell regeneration, alleviates skin dryness, and helps reduce the activity of free radicals in the skin. Thanks to panthenol (vitamin B5) and glycerin, it helps maintain the skin's natural moisture balance.

- The other option is the Maruderm 7% Glycolic Acid Uniform Skin Tone Tonic, which contains  glycolic acid, one of the most well-known AHA  acids, accelerates natural skin renewal, and helps to make skin texture and tone more even (especially recommended for pigmentation spots and wrinkles). 

4. In addition to acids, we can use other whitening and lightening active ingredients. Such as:


- Arbutin: Which can be found in the Maruderm Glutathione Spot Lightening Cream. The word "cream" in its name is used because of its structure and color resembling that of milk. Our glutathione serum enriched with alpha-arbutin and licorice extract helps to brighten, hydrate the skin, and eliminate spots.


- Vitamin C: Which can be found in the Maruderm Vitamin C Face Serum.This serum hydrates the skin, smooths it, and makes it radiant, fighting free radicals that damage cells. It protects against external factors and signs of aging. The skin appears soft, radiant, and rejuvenated. Under sunscreen, it enhances the effectiveness of the sunscreen. - Licorice extract: Which can be found in our Maruderm Pigment Spot Treatment Moisturizer. Our skincare cream containing 5% niacinamide, 2% alpha-arbutin, and 2% licorice extract helps to even out skin tone and reduce skin spots related to hyperpigmentation. Alpha-arbutin reduces the appearance of spots by inhibiting melanin production, while niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier and balances oil production, resulting in a more radiant and even appearance. Licorice extract helps reduce skin redness and irritation with its anti-inflammatory properties.This combination is particularly a good choice for those who struggle with pigmentation issues and want to improve their skin tone.
However, it is important to note that if you want to use exfoliants in the summer, you should do so with great caution, as they can increase sensitivity to light, and if you do not use sunscreen alongside, the area can darken even more! However, the cooler season is perfect for this purpose.
