Dr. Shereene Idriss explains how glycolic acid treats both underarm odor and dark spots on elbows, knees, and other body areas. Her Flash Mask uses 15% glycolic acid, much stronger than the 1-3% in most drugstore products. Apply overnight to darkened areas up to five times weekly, then rinse in the morning.

Ooh, glycolic acid is going to solve both odor and darkness, underarm body odor, as well as hyperpigmentation here, here, or even on your knees. There's also certain deodorants that has glycolic acid in it. But if you don't want to buy a specific deodorant with glycolic acid, you could try using this, putting it in your own rollerball, or even just putting it on a cotton pad and letting it sit on your underarms for a little while. This is my own, Dr. Idriss's Flash Mask at 15%. %. Usually you're going to find glycolic acid anywhere from 1%, 2%, 3%, which they probably will not market the percentage. So she's quite strong. It's going to help minimize the discoloration and help with the unevenness of your skin tone. But the body can handle it more than the face. So let's say you have dark elbows, you can apply it to your elbows every night, leave it on overnight, and wash it off in the morning. If you have sunspots on your body, and because it's your body and you can tolerate it more and your skin tends to be thicker, you can use it more than 2 times a week, up to 4 or 5 times a week, as long as you're not out in the sun going wild.
