How to use Tonifying Deodorant Spray
- Use 1–2 light mists per underarm and let it dry completely. More is not better! The underarm is already warm, moist, and prone to friction. Oversaturating the area can leave acids sitting wet against the skin longer than intended and increase the chance of irritation.
- Avoid applying immediately after shaving, waxing, or hair removal, or to irritated, freshly exfoliated, or broken skin. Give your skin some time to settle first.
- On hot, sweaty days, let it dry before getting dressed or heading outside. It only takes a few seconds and allows you to start the day with dry pits.
- Start slowly on new areas. Underarms that use this product every day may be accustomed to it, but your face, scalp, or other areas may not be. Patch test first and begin with occasional use.
- Don’t stack your acids. If you’re using this on your face or body, avoid applying it in the same area at the same time as other strong exfoliating acids, retinoids, scrubs, or potentially irritating actives.
- Be sun smart! AHAs can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun. When using on sun-exposed areas before going out, we recommend daytime sun protection. Best to not apply immediately before prolonged sun exposure.
More than a Deodorant
While we created this formula for underarms, AHA + BHA exfoliation can be useful from head to toe. Customers also love using it as a quick exfoliating treatment for:
Face
Helps gently exfoliate dead skin and keep pores clear. Start with 1–2 evenings per week rather than jumping into daily use. Avoid the eye area.
Scalp
Try it as an occasional pre-shampoo scalp treatment for buildup, excess oil, and flaky dead skin. Let it sit briefly before shampooing rather than leaving it on indefinitely until you know how your scalp responds.
Keratosis Pilaris + Rough Skin:
Mist over those stubborn little bumps on the backs of arms, thighs, or other rough areas to help loosen accumulated dead skin and smooth texture over time.
Can be used between hair-removal days to help keep dead skin from accumulating around follicles.Don’t use immediately after shaving or waxing.
A convenient way to exfoliate areas like the back, chest, or booty where clogged pores and bumps tend to appear.
Frequently Asked Questions about Our Tonifying Deodorant Spray
First, give your pits a 24–48 hour break, or until the skin feels completely normal again.
Our AHA/BHA deodorant works in part by creating a low-pH environment that odor-causing bacteria don't love. That acidity is part of what makes it so effective, but underarm skin can occasionally become irritated—especially when acids are combined with moisture, friction, shaving, heat, or overapplication.
Once your skin is happy again, ease back in: try one light mist per pit, allow it to dry completely, and see how you do. You may find you simply need less product or an occasional day off.
Nope! Our formula is not an antiperspirant, so it doesn't block sweat—and it doesn't contain anything intended to increase perspiration either.
If you're feeling unusually wet immediately after application, you may simply be using more product than necessary or getting dressed/moving around before it has dried. Try one light mist per pit and give it a few seconds to dry completely.
We don't recommend it. Shaving creates tiny disruptions in the skin barrier, and acids that normally feel perfectly comfortable can sting like crazy on freshly shaved skin. Give your skin some recovery time before applying.
This deodorant is formulated for daily use and many people happily use it daily on their underarms, but trust your skin and always do a test patch!
To our surprise, despite the base being acids, we get nonstop feedback from folks with underarm eczema and general sensitivities that it has cleared it up for them. We always recommend starting light just in case!
