'I'm a dermatologist – one unexpected skincare product can banish armpit smells'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

It turns out your facial skincare favourites might just be the secret weapon against armpit odour. Battling smelly armpits is a daily challenge for many, with showers providing only temporary relief before sweat brings back the unwelcome scent, leaving us feeling like we're in an endless struggle with body odour.

However, one dermatologist has a surprisingly simple solution. A staple product in your facial skincare routine could also double up as an effective combatant against both underarm odour and unsightly dark patches.

Dermatologist Dr Neera shared a video on TikTok in which she revealed that lactic acid, commonly found in serums for eliminating dead skin cells from the face, is also a marvel for "stinky pits or dark underarms".

Not only does lactic acid encourage the removal of dead skin for smoother, softer skin, but it's also a potent adversary for odour-inducing bacteria and pigmentation issues.
