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 dipalmitate 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.

Can also be used on dark spot pigmentation on:

underarms
elbows and knees
inner thighs and buttocks

Do not use in the vaginal region or to shave underarms. Do not use after shaving. Always shave in the evening and allow your skin to calm before using this product.

Note: 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.

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

Kojic acid is a a naturally occuring chemical produced from different types of fungi and is a byproduct of fermented foods such as Japanese sake (rice wine).

What it does:

Prevents dark spot formation and brightens skin that has been affected by post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
Anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties may help prevent certain skin conditions
Antioxidant protection from free radicals caused by UV damage and pollution
Has anti-inflammatory properties

Our kojic acid brightening bar uses kojic acid dipalmitate.

Kojic dipalmitate is a derivative of kojic acid. It is considered to be the more superior form of kojic acid as it is more stable and is recommended by dermatologists for sensitive and skin of color.

Kojic acid is a tyrosine inhibitor. It blocks tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for developing melanin, thus preventing the overproduction of melanin, giving the skin a brightening effect.

Our kojic acid brightening bar works to prevent the overproduction of melanin and gradually minimizes dark spot pigmentation.

Studies have found kojic acid to be both safe and effective at formulations less than 1%. Both the FDA and Health Canada regulate kojic acid within this limit.

It is considered much safer and a better option for treating dark spots compared to aggressive and toxic ingredients such as hydroquinone

The kojic acid brightening bar is formulated within this limit and is dermatologist tested and non-irritating.

The kojic acid brightening bar can be safely used on dark spot pigmentation found on the:

Underarms*
Dark elbows & Knees
Dark Inner Thighs
Buttocks
Hands (to address age/liver spots)

It can also be used on dark spots and blemish marks left behind from:

Ingrown Hairs
Bacne (Back Acne) Scars
Chest Acne Scars
Buttocks Blemishes (buttne)
Insect Bites
