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. 

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: 

  • Use in conjunction with the kojic acid brightening bar for faster underarm brightening results 
  • 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 and contains no irritating baking soda, made with very low levels of fragrance and contains nourishing 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.

Hi! Thank you for reaching out. I've been using the products for over a month now. The brightening deo worked fine for about 3-4 weeks and then it stopped working. Specifically, the deo seems to have 'melted' and is no longer able to stop/reduce perspiration like before and I start sweating within a couple hours after application. It also didn't help with the discoloration but I guess that takes time. Please let me know how we can address this problem.
