"Lemon juice + baking soda, make it a paste. Apply on your underarms for 15 to 30 minutes, then wash. I do that every night. Pag calamansi kasi minsan parang nagkakasugat underarms ko, hehe. Tas SBO every night, massage for 5 to 10 minutes."
"Tawas + calamansi naman pang wash ko ng whole body. Yung tawas na buo ha, habang nag-sho-shower ka babad mo na silang dalawa, then 'yun ang final rinse ko sa gabi. Just pat dry using a towel, sabay lotion para sabay sila ma absorb. Nakaka smoothen and whiten ng skin."
"Mga sis, you might wanna try IPL (intense pulsed light) with your underarms. Hair removal treatment siya. It's not limited to underarms alone. Pwede rin sa other parts like legs, etc. It also lightens the treated area. I've tried this one and you'll see its effect in about a week or two, super bagal na tumubo ng hair then nagla-lighten up rin plus it also helps with your chicken skin dilemmas."
"Here's my cheap regimen.
Every day:
a paste of baking soda (calamansi/lemon/water +baking soda) - lagay sa underarms, hintayin mag-dry bago banlawan> about 15 to 20mins
Snoe Beauty Calamansi Bar/Teranex soap - lagay sa underarms pag naliligo huwag agad banlawan
HHN SBO - every night lagay, about 2 pumps
Once a week:
Snoe vitamin C-rich calamansi whitening detoc clay mask (though pang face lang siya, pero nakita ko nag help talaga siya sa pag lilighten ng underarms.
Bago matulog:
Linisin ng mabuti ang underaarms, alisin ang mga natirang deo then pahid na the SBO
I used deonat deo/tawas pag lumalabas pero pag sa bahay calamansi or wala
Hindi na din ako nagshashave ng underarms, ang ginamit ko 'yung strip it na pang wax
If continuous ang regimen nito about a month you'll see the difference though mabagal at least may progress. Hope this helps sa mga walang budget na katulad ko."

"I'm going natural din for months na... Kojie-san kojic soap kapag naliligo, then kalamansi after maligo then sbo at night pero nagpabili din ako ng tawas na buo sa palengke, alternate ako sa kalamansi, minsan kasi parang may konting smell pa rin probably sa mixture ng sweat at ng soap."
"I've long been suffering from dark, smelly, and sweaty underarms. Naku, na-try ko na lahat, from calamansi to tawas to different creams and antiperspirants. After wasting too much money on self-medications, I finally decided to go to a derma about it. She recommended tea tree soap, a lightening antipersirant spray in the morning and alcohol solution at night. Plus I underwent nano peel. After just my 1st nanopeel and during the 1st week, nakita ko na ang results. Sabi nga ng mother ko, significant improvement na especially sa sweating and amoy ng underarms ko. My underarms are also starting to lighten. Just last week, nagpa-2nd session na ako ng nano peel and right now pag tinitingnan ko ang underarms ko, umaayos na talaga ang itsura."
