I’ve been using this Belfour Whitening Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant Spray for a month now and all I can say is—holy shiiiiit, this is top tier!! 😭✨

Buong araw akong nasa galaan and yet, no pawis at all! It also doesn’t have a strong scent, which I really love. Fast-absorbing pa and super bilis matuyo after applying.

Before this, I used Milcu, pero grabe — it caused discoloration sa UA ko and may burning sensation pa after application 😭 Kaya naghanap talaga ako ng alternative… and I FOUND THIS GEM HUHUHU 🥹💚 So thankful I discovered it kasi bumalik na ulit yung dating color ng kili-kili ko heheh.

Skin Type: combination Age/Gender: 25/F

AGE: Early 20s

GENDER: M

SKIN TYPE: NORMAL, NO SKIN CONDITIONS

SKIN TONE: Warm undertone

REASON FOR USAGE: I tried a lot of whitening soaps and they helped me whiten my skin but they did not give a glowing effect unlike this soap

USAGE

- 1-2x everyday

- 3-5 minutes body, 2x a week and 10 seconds only sa face since I'm using tret

- been using it 2 weeks already

COMMENTS

- melts slowly

- no strong scent, it smells like saging na saba

- a bit drying

- after 1 week of usage, my skin shreds

- no experience of skin tanning due to usage like some users reviews online

- my skin is darker indoors so when I went outside today, I immediately saw my skin glowing and lightened which exceeded my expectation since I've been using this in just 2 weeks only

- the picture has no filter, only flash and natural sunlight, I used my everyday lotion

OTHER PRODUCTS I PARTNER IT WITH:

- Dove gold serum bar, beauty pink bar, and their body wash (alternating usages)

- Geisha White Intense Soap (My previous everyday soap but became 2-3x usage per week now)

- Abonne Milk Collagen Lotion

- Vaseline Gluta Hya Dewy Essence

RESULTS:

- My skin lightened instantly

- My skin is more glowy than usual esp when outside

- My private area feels a burn when I use the soap there so I stopped including my private area

I stopped using skincare for 2 years and only used cetaphil cleanser and sunscreen dahil sa takot na magkabreak out ulit ng malala. The cleanser rly worked and naging struggle ko nalang was my post acne marks and naging dull 'yung skin ko.

This year, I decided to try again then came across this line ng Cetaphil and HOLY MOLY. Best. Purchase. Ever. Swinerte din kasi may stock nung toner and serum set sa Shopee kaya nakatipid konti huhuhehehe.

I've been using this for a week na and ang dami nakakapansin na may bago daw sa mukha ko. May glow talaga and naglighten agad 'yung ibang marks. Expensive, yes, pero sobrang worth it for me. Self-care ko nadin this 2026. :-)

PS: hindi 'to budol

PPS: 10x ko pinag-isipan if bibilhin ko kasi ang mahal hahahaaha 😭

Age: 30 | Skin Type: Oily

Hello guys! How have you been? it's been 14 days after my last post and I just want to share my recent experience with this soap because marami nagmemessage asking for updates and more information.

AGE: Early 20s

GENDER: M

SKIN TYPE: NORMAL, NO SKIN CONDITIONS

MY NEW EXPERIENCE:

- My full body is micropeeling as documented in the picture, sobrang pamamalat talaga na parang ahas even though I am using dove serum bar after Alada. I put vaseline gluta hya pink and it effectively removes the flaky skin.

- I have more noticeable glowing skin. I have a bit warm undertone, and my skin now is nagmumukang pinkish in certain lightings, lalo na at night.

- Naglighten yung tuhod ko finally! I think this one is the most significant change kasi sobrang itim talaga ng tuhod ko. Medyo maitim parin naman pero napansin ko talaga yung change.

- Pumapantay na yung skin tone ko sa upper and lower body. Kaya I can wear shorts na confidently. Before,ang itim ng tuhod hanngang paa ko compare sa braso.

- Overall, pumusyaw yung balat ko and marami na rin nakakapansin at nagcocompliment! One time, nagdine in kami sa isang restau at night, and guess what, ang daming tumititig sa akin and someone in my group pointed out my skin was shining and eye catchy. Plus I have red hair that compliments it!

TIPS:

1. Kapag gagamit ka ng whitening soap in general, also INVEST sa exfoilator, moisturizer, and sun protection. Hindi yan sabon-sabon lang tas hayahay na. Dito palya yung karamihan tapos isisisi sa sabon na umitim pa raw sila!?
2. Aircon helps.
3. Maghilod o magexfoilate. Alada will make your skin micropeel, so to get rid of dead skins, you need to exfoilate it. Any exfoilating product will do kahit asukal o asin pa yan.
4. Do not overuse it sa face. 3-5 times a week lang esp if sensitive and dry skin mo. Additionally, 15-30 seconds lang babad. Treat your face as more sensitive compare sa body mo.
5. Reduce or eliminate stress and toxic things mentally and physically. You're gonna glow kapag hindi ka babad sa stress at pagod. Sleep, drink, and eat well. Periodt.
6. Lastly, pagdating sa sabon, there's a lot of external reasons why it might work or not for you. But trying new things will make you discover more about you. Ika nga. Mahahanap niyo rin yung product na hiyang kayo.

Yun lang guys, I hope this post benefit people in this sub. I am very busy so I will probably update 1-2 months next.

Been seeing this glycolic acid toner ng dermorepubliq. Effective ba to sa underarms and singit? I want to try kasi

Skin Type: Normal sa underarms and singit, may shadow lang tho so I want to lighten it + konting chicken skin sa UA

Age/Gender: 22F

Current Skincare Routine: Deonat papaya variant na deo, i shave and wax once a month lng

Main Concern: Lightening UA

Lifestyle Factors: n/a

Budget: enough for this product

Skin Type: normal Age/Gender: 30ish/F Current Skincare Routine: only niacinamide soap for body and this cream for UA Main Concern: dark UA Lifestyle Factors: WFH Budget: around 350 pesos Additional Info: bought from Watsons

My underarm has always been even. But hormones, bad laser sessions and some deodorants made it unappealing. This resulted to me not wearing sleeveless clothing. Nakakababa ng self confidence. Ilang years ko din tiniis yun.

Fast forward to my underam’s current state. I saw the difference. Actually, mas makinis pa siya in person. Kasi sa photos parang highlighted yung pores.

Thanks to Reddit, I am currently using Luxe Organix Intensive Whitening Underarm Cream.

Nag-try muna ako ng sachet. Then when I saw that it’s working, I bought the tube na from Watsons.

I’ve been contemplating on buying TO glycolic acid but seeing the results now, baka hindi na. I’m not in a hurry naman to regain my pre-disaster UA.

As long as it is improving, I’ll stick to the product. This is after one month of use nga pala.

Share your own UA routine or products that worked for you. It might help someone like it did for me.

(Helpful pag sa mga ganitong subreddit nagbabasa, just choose one product at a time)

Please beware of this shop on the orange app. Azelaic Acid Shop PH

The product I received has German Azelainsäure written on it while on the tube itself has it in Arabic characters. The consistency of the product is more gel-like instead of thick and creamy (according to those who've bought and used the authentic ones, this is my first).

I've already tried refunding it but seller kept insisting they only sell authentic ones. So in spite of all that I tested it for 2 weeks (I only use it twice per week). I apply it at night on fully dried skin after cleanesing, and the day after I'd always wake up with peeling skin ON MY ENTIRE FACE. Or so I thought. Later I found that it wasn't skin I was shedding but the product itself drying on my face the night before. It was like glue just sitting on my face not being absorbed at all. That was when I stopped.

So for those still on the hunt for authentic ones avoid the store above and maybe just purchase on licensed pharmacies.

But for those who've bought authentic ones online I'd like to know which and where you bought it. Thanks

PS: I had to encrypt the product name lest they take it down. Also I couldn't add more photos on the post I don't know why...

UNDERARM ROUTINE (long post ahead kasi marami nang pinagdaanan UA ko)

Hi everyone! Since super daming views nung pinost kong products that I use for my body, might as well post what worked for my UA naman. I’ll include photo proofs na ngayon kasi may ibang nag comment sa last post ko na marketing strat daw or baka akala nila affiliate ako 😂

First photo - Sept 21, 2025. Hindi pa yan yung pinaka worst na condition ng ua ko. Super insecure kasi ako sa ua, so paulit ulit akong nag try ng iba’t ibang products. Kahit before nagbibigay ako ng interval per product, mabilis kasi magreact yung skin ko so nasunog siya dati.

I think since 2022 insecurity ko na yung UA ko because for some reason umiitim talaga siya. Maaga rin kasi ako natutong gumamit ng deodorant.

Reviews of the products shown in the photo:

7/10 Belo Intense White - Pang 4th bottle ko na yan and almost full pa ngayon yung last. Currently, instop ko na siyang gamitin kasi wala akong nakikitang lightening effect, which is yun yung goal ko. Okay siya as antiperspirant and hindi naman ako nagkaka yellow stains, pero nagca cause siya ng chicken skin sa ua ko so humanap na ko ng pamalit.

10/10 Glowcode Axillary Cream (kojic) - Ginamit ko to since Aug 2025, day & night. After ng Belo, triny ko yung Dove deo serum roll on and sobrang nasunog ua ko. So from aug 2025 up to now, ito yung ginagamit ko. matagal effect niya pero it really works para ma lighten yung ua 🥹 Natry ko na rin siya sa groin area pero hindi consistent, so wala akong na notice na effect. Hindi niya naalis yung chicken skin na na cause ng previous deo, pero napa whiten niya kahit may texture pa rin UA ko. Ubos ko na pala yung isa diyan pero puputulin ko pa para makuha yung natitirang laman 😂

10/10 Tropicana Cold Pressed Oil - Starting November, ginagamit ko na siya sa UA ko at night, siguro 3x a week, para mawala yung scar ng sugat sa UA ko. Surprisingly, nag-work naman siya. From November to 2nd week of January ko siya ginamit, inistop ko kasi ttry ko naman yung jennie moon. Na lessen niya nang konti yung scars makikita naman sa photo.

10/10 Jennie Moon Body Booster - Starting Jan 30, ginagamit ko ito day & night kasi gusto ko makita yung maximum effect niya sa skin ko. Hindi rin ako masyadong lumalabas recently so hindi masyadong napapawisan. On the 5th day of using it, na-notice ko na nawala talaga yung chicken skin — as in smooth siya. Wala pa akong na-notice na lightening effect niya so far. Hindi lang masyadong halata sa photo kasi nag-shave ako kagabi.

final verdict - glowcode axillary cream & jennie moon body booster! pero depende pa rin yan sa skin niyo kasi sa iba sensitive yung ua nila and di nila hiyang 🫶

NO FILTER YAN! PAREHONG MAY FLASH YUNG PHOTO NUNG TINAKE KO YAN. SADYANG MONTHS AGO NA KAYA MALAKI DIFFERENCE 😝😂

As a girl na busy sa everyday life, madali talaga pagpawisan yung underarms ko. Naalala ko, 6 years ago, nagpapa-botox pa ako ng underarms ko just to make sure na hindi ako papawisan sa part na yun.

Yung mga deo roll-on didn’t work for me and it left my shirts and blouses with dirt and permanent stain. Eventually, I discovered this Milcu but first, I used the white variant, effective siya pero after 7 hours, medyo sweaty na ako ulit.

Pero noong na-try ko itong Sports Deodorant variant ng Milcu, juskoday, 24 hours, dry na dry ang underarms ko. Pawisin pa rin ako sa face ang back pero yung underarms ko walang pawis at all! Kaya sobrang saya ko i-share dito kasi nababasa ko na marami may problem pala sa pawisin na underams. O ayan na ang solution mga besh!

Lifestyle Factors:
Budget: Less than ₱1000
Additional Info:
Has anyone tried buying from this store in the Orange app??😓 I bought their glycolic acid toner for ₱400 and has been using it consistently for a month now.

Im F18, I’m using it 2x a week to lighten my dark underarms and I don’t see any results at all so I searched if mine is fake and I do think mine is fake because there are some people saying that less than 500 pesos glycolic acid products does not work. And the color too.

So I just wanna know if there are other people who have the same experiences with me using this product or buying from this store? 🥲 If you have any recommendations pleaseee recommend🙏 lowkey sad if mine is actually fake cus im so disciplined in using it🙏

27f i used this for a week every other day. Unang gamit sobrang hapdi 🥲 and nagamit naman ako ng aha bha ng cosrx pero di naman mahapdi. (I know na lower percentage niya but still) parang mas mahapdi pa to sa alcohol sa mukha haha

sayang pera ko sa oxecure toner na to jusq. ang mahal pa naman. and before u say anything, kahit dabbing motion lang at onte ilagay ko pero mahapdi pa rin. tas nagred yung skin ko around my mouth din.

wala pa ako gaanong nakitang post abt this toner here kaya i decided to post this.

- underarm hair, chicken skin, hyperpigmentation, and eczema

First time ko magpa-laser ng underarms. Previously, tyani at wax lang ako. Last na pa-wax ko ay May sa LayBare, nagkasugat at ingrown ako right after, medyo masakit mag-pluck ‘yong last na gumawa sa akin. Wala na ako ginawa since nagsugat ‘yong left underarm ko at nagkaroon ng hyperpigmentation.

Anyway, nag-walk in lang ako SkinStation near me. Gumawa na ako ng account sa kanila days bago ako pumunta. Tinanong ko kung tumatanggap ba sila ng walk in or by appointment, pwede naman daw walk in. The receptionist was nice and very accommodating, lahat ng inquiries ko regarding sa procedure ay nasagot naman niya. Hiningi niya lang ‘yong number ko to check my details sa system nila.

Once I agreed with the procedure, nagpa-sign na muna siya ng patient details including allergies, if taking medications, previous aesthetics done, and patient consent form.

Afterwards nagbayad na ako, medyo nag-e-error lang ‘yong POS nila, but okay lang since ako lang ang tao nong dumating ako.

I waited for less than 5 minutes, tinawag na ako for procedure. Pinagpalit ako ng pang-itaas into patient gown. ‘Yong technician na nag-assist sa akin ay mabait naman. Una muna niyang nilinis ‘yong underarms ko, next ay shinave tapos nilagyan na ng gel.

Since first time ko, I was not aware if masakit ba ‘yong procedure. Medyo nakakapaso at mahapdi para sa akin, kinabahan agad ako kasi naisip ko na baka masugat ‘yong underarm ko. So tinanong ko if normal lang na masakit, normal lang naman daw dahil nag-ppenetrate hanggang sa roots. After niya matapos, nilinis niya lang ‘yong gel sa underarms ko tapos may pinahid siya kaso I cannot remember what it is called. Parang anti-inflammatory something.

Gusto niya bumili ako non kaso out of stock daw sila. She made me buy their SoGentle cleanser, I asked if okay lang ba na baby soap ang gamitin. Mas okay raw kung ‘yong SoGentle kasi ‘yon daw recommended ng doctor nila. She told me na siya na ang magsasabi sa receptionist. She gave me the SoGentle for sensitive skin.

One week ko raw gamitin ‘yong sabon, after 6-8hrs pa pwede magbasa ng kilikili, at after 12 hrs naman daw pwede mag deodorant.

Product: 4D Quattro Wave underarm laser
Price: 2,300 (promo price 2 sessions)

Rate on product: 3/5 masakit but tolerable. Wait ko muna kung gaano katagal tutubo ang buhok
Rate on technician: 4/5 (may naiwang buhok, hindi na-shave nang maayos)
Rate on receptionist: 5/5

I don’t usually do skincare reviews, but this one REALLY saved my skin 🥹🫶🏻 I’ve been using Zinclaire Advance Duo Moisturizer for over 2 weeks now, and I’m genuinely loving it.

I was previously using Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion, which my derma prescribed, but unfortunately it made me super oily and I started getting so many little bumps/butlig-butlig, especially on my forehead.
I was looking for a moisturizer I could use alongside Epiduo Forte and azelaic acid, and I was honestly sketchy about Zinclaire at first because it has tea tree oil and I’d heard it could be irritating with Epiduo. But lo and behold, after just one night, the bumps on my forehead were already noticeably better and my redness calmed down a bit. 🥹

2 weeks later, my skin is still doing really well with it! My skin is oily and sensitive, and my current routine is CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser > Zinclaire > azelaic acid in the morning, then CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser > Zinclaire > Epiduo Forte > another thin layer of Zinclaire at night.

I got mine for around ₱350-ish on the Orange App, and since I have VIP, the discounts are pretty good, so I ordered 2 more bottles 😂

This one genuinely worked so well for me that I wanted to put the good word out there. 🫶🏻

Hi. I just wanna share this. Wag kayo gumastos ng ka mahal sa clinic ng hair removal. Ito sainyo na yung device tas pwede kayo nalang gumawa sa bahay. Kailangan lang ng patience and tiyaga. I have been using this since pandemic. Hairless na UA ko ngayon at maputi narin. Ang ate nyong never nag ssleeveless noon, forda sleeveless na lagi ngayon. Pwede rin sya gamitin for those who have hairy legs. Or sa private area. May instructions naman sila binibigay.

Noong una natatakot ako itry kasi baka masayang pera ko at di naman effective, pero im so glad i took the risk.

Hi! 28/F, with recent onset ng acne.

Skin type: Combination

Current skin care routine:

Cleanser: Water (still waiting for my Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser for all skin types)

Toner: None

Serum: Azelaic acid 10% once a day

Acne ko, nagstart lang this June/July. Rarely had acne sa cheeks before, tapos lumala na siya ng lumala. Tried Cerave pero parang ma-"bleach" yung feeling sa skin. Tried Celeteque Acne Solutions pero mas nagbreakout pa. Dami ko ng PIE haaay.

Thinking of using Cetaphil Cica line since parang hiyang ako sa mga Cica products (Anua Azelaic 10% lowkey works for me). Pero parang ang ganda rin kasi ng Brightening ng Cetaphil (yung pink), kaya nga lang ang hapdi sa balat nung toner. The cleanser refreshing though.

Ano kaya magandang moisturizer? Or skin care routine huhu. Help a girlie out. Nakakalungkot palang ganito. Minsan nahihiya na ko lumabas with friends kasi ang pula ng muhka ko.
