The product works really well. I am a woman of colour who has tried A LOT of products to try lighten my armpits. I am light skinned with dark armpits, I haven't been able to lift my arms up in the summer for over a decade now. My skin started peeling after about a week and a half of using the product, going on three weeks now and I'm starting to see improvement in my armpits. It stinged my skin for a few seconds on application for the first few days but now it doesn't anymore. My armpits are smoother and have started looking lighter. This product is doing things for me that no other product has been able to do over the last ten years. A bit pricey but definitely worth the price. Would definitely recommend.
