With the arrival of hot days, perspiration can increase and bad odors become a major annoyance. For those days when deodorant does its job as it should, doctor Sina Ghadiri recommends that the best ally is glycolic acid.
In a video shared on the social network TikTok, Ghadiri suggested The Ordinary's Acide Glycolique 7%. However, this acid does not replace the use of deodorant, as it does not prevent the production of sweat.

Dermatologist Marisa K. Garshick told Today: "Glycolic acid is thought to help reduce body odor by lowering the pH of the skin and making it more difficult for odor-causing bacteria to survive."
There are some risks associated with using glycolic acid. Sina Ghadiri says that "the maximum concentration of glycolic acid that can be used in this area is eight to 10%, but even that can be irritating, so the lower the concentration, the better".

If you are not familiar with this acid, be aware that it is a natural alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) with therapeutic properties. In addition to promoting a light exfoliation on the skin, glycolic acid stimulates collagen, reduces wrinkles and fine lines, controls skin oiliness, reduces blemishes and hyperpigmentation, and prevents signs of aging.
