I was excited to receive this in my beauty box and was keen to try it out. I sweat probably a bit above average and so was interested to find out how well this product would cope.
Firstly I didn’t really like the packaging and definitely don’t like so much plastic on one product. I feel like the application is unnecessarily complicated, especially as the old school roll on works perfectly well and this is not an improvement. Admittedly the instructions were helpful and the product did glide on easily once it is forced to the top.
The scent is pretty and fresh and I liked it a lot.
The product is a white cream, and once applied does not feel sticky as some antiperspirant products can.
I found the product worked well and I didn’t have any break through sweating, even after walking/gardening/yoga.
Does it do what it said? It says clinical strength wetness protection, well I don’t know what 'clinical strength' actually means but I don’t end up with wet armpits so I guess that's a tick. 'Motion activated odour protection', well I’m not really sure what that means either, but when I was moving I didn’t notice any sudden odour or wetness so I guess that’s a tick, and 'heat resistant', well nothing major changes when my body temperature changes so I guess that's a tick as well. The instructions recommend using it at night for optimal performance, but I didn’t as I like my skin to breathe at night, and the product is chemically laden so I'm not keen to use it when I don’t have to.
All up, its quite a good product but I usually experience much the same standard from a much cheaper product so for me its a product I wouldn’t go out and buy, mainly because I can't see how I could justify paying $15 for a product that does the same as my usual $4.49 - $4.99 on-special roll ons. And I don’t like that it has more packaging and plastic than most anti-perspirants. I'm not sure I would recommend it to a friend, most likely I would mention I'd tried it and explain the positives and negatives rather than giving it as a recommendation.
I received this in the Summer strength in my BRBB and was quite excited to try it out. I don't normally have an issue with sweating, however I've been working some really long hours lately in a room full of people, and we're experiencing an indian summer so my usual deodorant wasn't really cutting it!
The product packaging is great, it reminds me of the old Dove cream deodorant. It has a dial at the base for dispensing the product - the application end is shaped perfectly to fit into the armpit and while it's bulkier than a standard deodorant, it's still small enough to sit in my bathroom cupboard.
The instructions are really clear and advises 2 clicks of the dial to get the right amount of product. I must have been having a bit of an off day because to begin with I was turning the dial the wrong way! Once I got that sorted, 2 clicks is the perfect amount. It pushes the cream up through the holes at the top, and while it doesn't look like it's enough, it really is all you need. The scent is really light and fresh, and because it's a cream it's really easy to apply.
Since using this I have not had any sweating at all - not even that slight dampness at the end of the day. There have been a couple of times I've noticed dried up product in my armpits, but that could have been me accidently applying too much.
Tips: Use on dry armpits for best/easiest application.
