Brilio.net - Black armpits are a condition where the skin in the armpit area changes color to become darker than the surrounding skin area. This discoloration is often caused by various factors, including the buildup of dead skin cells, excessive friction, or the use of certain underarm care products.
Apart from that, improper shaving or waxing habits can also result in black underarms due to irritation or hair growth that gets trapped under the skin. Because it is quite disturbing to their appearance, many people are looking for ways to brighten their armpits by using various skincare products . One of them that has recently gone viral is glycore cream.
Glycore cream is a skin care product that contains glycolic, a type of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) known to have exfoliating benefits. Glycolic acid works by removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, helping to speed up the skin regeneration process.
Regular use of Glycore cream can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and fine lines, as well as improve overall skin texture. Apart from that, this cream can also help improve skin problems such as black underarms and other dark areas by stimulating cell renewal.
It is important to use Glycore cream according to the instructions, because AHA can irritate the skin if not used according to the instructions. So, so that you don't use it wrongly, recently a doctor with the TikTok account name @dr.ziee, shared the rules for using Glycore Cream to brighten underarms without causing irritation.

"Skincare tips are clear, aren't they? Please be careful. Those who want to use it in skin care, the risk will be up to the supporter, because usually the doctor will definitely give you additional cream because it's too risky," wrote Doctor Ziee in the description of the uploaded video, which is briliobeauty.net quote from the TikTok account @dr.ziee, Monday (5/8).
At the start of the video, Doctor Ziee checks the legality of the viral product. As a result, the product has been officially registered with BPOM. Glycore itself has several active glycolic acid contents, such as 8 percent and 10 percent.
"The maximum content of acid is 10 percent. According to the regulations, it is true that it can be purchased without a doctor's prescription. Just like our usual peels," said Doctor Zee.

Because of its high acid content, Doctor Zee does not agree with the use of Glycore Cream in the armpit and groin areas. Especially if you use it too often, every day for example. However, if used on the face, it is not dangerous as long as it is used according to the rules.
"Just never use it together with this ointment, Vitacid or Azelic Acid," continued Doctor Zee.

According to Doctor Zee, the correct rule is that Glycore Cream can only be used at night. Only use it 1-2 times a week, and avoid using it together with Vitacid, Retinol, or other AHAs and BHAs. Not only that, you should also choose one that contains 8 percent so that it doesn't irritate the skin, and must use moisturizer and sunscreen if the product is applied to the face.
