A first aid kit helped a woman get rid of body odor after having an adverse reaction to deodorants.
She praised the fact that the affordable product has replaced her need for scented beauty products.
She took to Reddit’s Skincare Addiction forum to share her hack in response to another user’s post.
The author of the initial post said that they used 10% benzoyl peroxide twice a day and Dove sensitive deodorant at night to solve their “stinky” underarm problem.
FRESH FEELING
Posting under the handle Joyus65A beauty enthusiast has shared an alternative treatment to eliminate unpleasant smells.
“I also do something similar, but I use Hibicleanse instead of BP [benzoyl peroxide] wash it, that’s how severe my BO [body odor] was!” she said.
“I only need to wash with Hibicleanse 3x/week for it to be effective.”
Hibiclens Antiseptic Skin Cleanser is $11.99 at Amazon.com Target.
Customers have given it an impressive rating of 4.7 stars out of a possible 5.
The antiseptic skin cleanser contains 4% chlorhexidine gluconate, which according to Direct Science reduces bacteria on the skin and prevents infections.

The Redditor revealed that they alternate using a product from The Ordinary.
“When I don’t wash with Hibicleanse, I use regular soap and finish with my TO glycolic acid solution,” she said.
“I no longer struggle with BO and this has been a big change for me…
“I don’t use any deodorant, which is a blessing because I couldn’t find one that didn’t give me a rash or migraine (I’m sensitive to smells).”
The Ordinary’s 7% Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner is $13 on Amazon.com Sephora.

Tip for removing yellow sweat stains
Yellow spots underarms affect everyone, whether people admit it or not. But there is help available. To remove yellow stains from clothes, experts recommend the following methods:
- Baking soda paste: Professionals in The Laundry Café I recommend mixing a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide with a tablespoon of salt and ½ cup of baking soda. Apply directly to the stain with a toothbrush, scrub and let the mixture sit for at least an hour and then wash as normal.
- Oxygen Bleach: This method is equally useful for removing yellow stains. Mix one part oxygen bleach with one part ammonia in a non-metallic bowl. Wear gloves during this application. Rub it into the fabric with a toothbrush and let the solution sit for at least ten minutes before washing normally.
- Stain remover or detergent: Stains on collars can be difficult to remove, like underarm stains. Therefore, pre-treat the area using a stain remover or solvent-based detergent. Apply the product to the collar with a toothbrush and let it sit for at least ten minutes before washing.
SWEET SOLUTION
According to Medical News TodayBody odor is caused by bacteria that destroy protein molecules in sweat.
The unpleasant smell is more likely to linger on the feet, armpits, genitals, and behind the ears.
Experts recommend washing and drying well, shaving body hair, and using antiperspirants to control body odor.
It is recommended to speak to a doctor if sweating worsens, as it may be a sign of an underlying condition.
Aluminum chloride is among the treatments that can be prescribed to reduce the amount of sweating.
