For speed in brightning results, use the takesumi bright system.

The longer the pigmentation has been present, the longer it will take to see significant improvement. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a result of irritation. Brightening treatments will be unsuccessful until underlying cause of inflammation has been addressed.

Step 1: First, the kojic acid brightening bar minimizes the appearance of dark spot pigmentation with kojic acid and licorice root extract, while also eliminating odor-causing bacteria in the underarms.

Step 2: Next, the niacinamide brightening deodorant combines niacinamide and alpha arbutin to brighten underarms while a potent fermentation extract and activated charcoal helps control odor.

Step 3: Finally, the sweat powder absorbs excess moisture and creates a barrier on the skin to prevent chafing and friction that can contribute to hyperpigmentation and underarm rashes.

For faster brightening results use the takesumi bright system:

STEP 1: the kojic acid brightening bar Moisten the bar and apply the lather to affected areas with a soft and gentle cloth or silicone exfoliating brush (fingers can be used if exfoliating has occurred more than twice a week). Massage for 30 seconds to allow the actives to penetrate the area before rinsing off.

STEP 2: niacinamide deodorant Follow with a generous application of deodorant to clean, dry underarms daily.

STEP 3: the sweat powder For extra protection against excess perspiration, and to prevent chafing and irritation that can lead to hyperpigmentation, apply a generous layer of the sweat powder over top of your deodorant.

The niacinamide deodorant can also be used on the body following the kojic acid brightening bar on areas with dark spot pigmentation, areas that experience chafing and friction and to soothe and calm inflammation and irritation. Can be used on:

  • back and chest blemish marks
  • inner thighs and bikini line
  • elbows and knees
  • bug bites

Once dark spots are minimized, continue to use the deodorant on underarms for lasting results.

Do not use after shaving or waxing. Always shave at night and allow the skin to calm down before applying the deodorant.

Some may notice slight redness or discomfort after using the deodorant for the first time. In order to ensure you can use the formula, test the deodorant on your forearm for twenty-four hours before applying it on your underarms and body. Look out for any unusual reactions.

FAQ's

The longer the pigmentation has been present, the longer it will take to see significant improvement. Customers have reported seeing initial results within the first couple weeks, with more significant results within 4-6 weeks. 

Use both steps (the kojic acid brightening bar and niacinamide brightening deodorant) for faster underarm brightening results

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a result of irritation. Brightening treatments will be unsuccessful until underlying cause of inflammation has been addressed. 

We recommend implementing the following tips: 

  • Shaving is the #1 cause due to irritation. Use a shave oil, shave at night and don’t apply anything to the area for 12-24 hours following shaving. 
  • Avoid irritating underarm products that contain ingredients such as baking soda, aluminum or high levels of fragrance 
  • Reduce chafing and friction in affected area, including chafing from tight, non-breathable clothing materials 

This deodorant uses a combination of niacinamide and alpha arbutin to brighten underarm skin that has been darkened due to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The deodorant works to soothe inflammation, while gently brightening the skin to return it to its original color. It will not bleach skin.

Absolutely! It was formulated with sensitive skin in mind andcontainsno irritating baking soda,made withvery lowlevels offragranceandcontainsnourishing and soothing ingredients such as niacinamide and aloe vera.

If your main concern is to treat dark underarms, then you should use the 2-step takesumi bright system for dark underarms. It will manage odor and dark underarms at the same time. 

If you are not concerned about dark underarms, then use the 2-step takesumi detox system for excess odor. 

For faster brightening results use the takesumi bright system: 
 
STEP 1: the kojic acid brightening bar Moisten the bar and apply the lather to affected areas with a soft and gentle cloth or silicone exfoliating brush (fingers can be used if exfoliating has occurred more than twice a week).

STEP 3: the sweat powder For extra protection against excess perspiration, and to prevent chafing and irritation that can lead to hyperpigmentation, apply a generous layer of the sweat powder over top of your deodorant. 
 
The niacinamide deodorant can also be used following the kojic acid brightening bar on areas with dark spot pigmentation and experience chafing and friction such as the inner thighs.

Trusting the Process

I started using the kojic acid bar and niacinamide deodorant since June 21st I am optimistic and trusting the process.

This product works! I use it at night after I shower and yes I had to get used to the smell the first couple of weeks but it does get better. Sometimes Iƒ??ll put on my (bird brand) deodorant in the morning to give me that smell good feeling. But yes it does work to lighten and brighten your pits! I wish I took a before picture to compare. You will notice a very slight difference the first 2 weeks then more each week. Just be patient. I must say maybe perhaps it works great for me because I also use the Taketsumi koji soap in the shower. I didnƒ??t have any reaction to either product, and trust me when I say Iƒ??m allergic and sensitive to almost everything! Works great!

I've been using the product since December and it's truly an holy grail. I have been struggling with hyperpigmentation under my arms for 15 years. I saw immediate results by the end of Month one. My underar.s went from dark to brown,literally beautiful. I have some areas that are still slightly discolored, however that's due to me getting a really hot wax. That set me back a little on my journey. Ohhh, also the dark roots of my arm pit hair is gone as well. I used the underarm bar and the deodorant.

I am allergic to most of the deodorants including naturals. This one has been the best option for me, no irritation and it has been helpful with hyperpigmentation ???ú
