Nivea have a whitening roll-on deodorant. I haven't tried it, so I'm not sure if it works. X

you can try using potato and cucumbers. The potatoes have to be in thin slices or can be grated and then applied to the area for 15 mins. Potato slices can be used under eyes as well for dark circles. Do this 3 times a week. hope this helps a little bit.

Also the best thing to do is use sugar wax instead of shaving that provides longer lasting results and less blackening. I remember I shaved and that made my underarms look black too. Since I started using sugar wax my underarms are not black or dark anymore and hair grows slower, plus it removes dead skin as well.

Some beauty supply stores carry lightening cream. Dove makes deodorant that lightens the skin.

what really helps is to wax or epilate because it takes the hair from the roots and eventually they get thinner, It's the hair root casting the dark shadow making your underarms appear dark. also ensure that you exposure about 3 times a week to prevent any imgrowing hairs.

Alisa,
For the sugar wax if you want to make it at home best way is to
1/ 2 cup water
sugar and lemon
Put the cup of water and lemon in a pan on about medium heat
then when that becomes hot add sugar slowly. Make sure it thickens little by little and leave it on medium. Dont use high heat.
If it comes out watery then add 1/4 cup of sugar slowly
brown or regular sugar both work
hope this will help
