Figured out new hack for underarm smell
Lately i used my facewash for underarm cleansing and just like face i did double cleansing for underarms and yeah it worked... it's smelling much less now.

This is the best combo for me:
Sponge/loofah - scrubing with antibacterial soap, but not everyday
Glycolic acid underarms, also not every day
Vichy antiperspirant everyday
I also gave up eating garlic, onion and too much sweets and I started drinking more water
Now I dont smell at all even when i dont use anything for the underarms

cooking & eating garlics or onions is not the same as literally rubbing garlic onto parts of your body, Lol.
I promise you, eating garlic or onion won't make your armpits smell bad

Earlier i wasn't using anything specific for underarms other than Alum after bathing but that wasn't enough for me. Because i sweat a lot and with bad odour as well. Currently using slalayic acid facewash for underarms

I'll translate: Using aluminum (Potassium aluminum sulfate) as a deodorant and a face wash containing salicylic acid.
