Tested by edition: deodorants

Vasilisa Naumenko, Beauty Editor:

Deodorant manufacturers guarantee protection against white spots on black, and indeed the words are justified. Many means that came across in my life, let down and spoil the outfit chosen for an important evening.

There are three fragrances in the line, of which I have tried all of them and use them according to my mood. The smells are pleasant, fruity. No smell and no wet spots throughout the working day.

Olga Turbina, editor of star news:

Garnier recently released a new Neo deodorant that promises 48-hour protection. The brand has been working on its creation for 10 years. “Neo” was released in five versions with a variety of flavors-fragrances. I chose the fragrance “Delicate Flower”. In texture, it is an invisible dry cream that is easily squeezed out, spreads in a thin layer over the surface and is instantly absorbed.

The tube itself is palm-sized and looks pretty cute. Applicator under a transparent lid. 80% in the composition of “Neo” – components for skin care, the product does not contain alcohol and does not irritate the skin. As for irritation, I have very sensitive skin, so Neo is a godsend for me. The protection keeps up with dignity, I use it once a day, and this is quite enough. So I recommend it with a clear conscience.

Nastya Obukhova, fashion editor:

Over the course of my 28-year life, I have tried many deodorants and have come up with a short list of the main characteristics that an ideal representative should have. First, it shouldn’t smell. That is, not to emit any aroma at all. Unfortunately, these types of deodorants are very rare.

Antiperspirant should not leave marks on clothes, or at least do it to a minimum. It should not cause flaky or dry skin. And the most important thing is that it is simply obliged to protect against odor throughout the whole day, even at + 35 ° C.

I was almost desperate to find such an ideal among women’s deodorants, but I found what I was looking for in a line for men. I can declare with complete confidence: it really works! But the product of a similar brand of the women’s line, oddly enough, did not suit me categorically. I have been using the men’s Vichy for a couple of years now and have not yet found a worthy replacement for it.

Alexandra Rudnykh, deputy editor-in-chief:

Although the deodorant came to me by accident – a gift from my acquaintances, I have been using it for several months now. And, despite the far from luxury status, he did not disappoint me.

The first thing to note is the economical consumption. A small bottle lasts more than a month (with daily use). Plus, it glides on gently and lasts well into the evening if applied in the morning. Among the advantages is also a pleasant aroma, which, which is especially pleasant, does not interrupt the notes of the used perfume. The deodorant absorbs quickly without leaving wet stains on clothes.

As for its direct purpose – to eliminate the smell of sweat, CamayMademoiselle confidently copes with this (it does not “kill hard”, but perfectly reduces and masks). The optimal ratio of price – quality without the habits of a super-product.

Olga Frolova, build editor:

Ideal for fans of everything organic and natural: it contains only aluminum-ammonium and potassium alum of natural origin. Does not contain alcohol, fragrances and synthetic additives. When applied to the skin, it coats it with a thin layer of mineral salts that eliminate odor-causing bacteria. However, you need to understand that this is still not an antiperspirant, so if you need additional protection from moisture, you should rather choose a different product.

The deodorant itself is odorless, dries quickly and leaves no residue on clothing. Extremely comfortable to use on irritated skin, no problems after depilation. The crystal is very economical. I have no idea how long it will take for it to end entirely.

The cost of a deodorant is about 500 rubles, but you can find more budgetary counterparts in other brands.

Yulia Gaponova, managing editor:

I will say right away that I used expensive roll-on deodorants for a long time and believed that cheap counterparts could not 100% guarantee a feeling of freshness and protection. So when I was asked to try Camay Dynamique roll-on deodorant, I took the offer without much enthusiasm.

However, after several days of using this deodorant, I began to change my opinion that quality does not always depend on price. Firstly, I was captivated by the subtle, unobtrusive, but very pronounced aroma of pink grapefruit.

Secondly, it is a really pleasant deodorant, it dries quickly, there is no sticky effect and, most importantly, it does not leave marks on clothes. The durability of the deodorant would be as high as four, so it is definitely not suitable for people who sweat heavily.

Natalya Zheldak, editor-in-chief:

For the summer it seemed like the perfect option: the manufacturers promised a long-lasting 48-hour effect and a light texture. The unique technology with which the antiperspirant was created, according to the official announcement, does not mask the smell of sweat, but completely absorbs it. As a result, instead of an unpleasant smell, a trail of pleasant floral scent, created especially for Camay by a certain Zerlina Dubois, will follow you.

Cons: Actually, the main disadvantage of the deodorant is in this trail. The aroma, though pleasant, is strong enough. If you do not use eau de toilette in your daily life, there will be no problems. Provided that you like the smell, of course.

In my case, the deodorant was clearly “arguing” with my favorite perfume.

Another thing that confused me personally is that deodorant takes time to dry on the skin. And this is not 30 seconds, which can be tolerated, but all 10 minutes. When you are in a hurry, this moment is annoying: it is unpleasant when deodorant stains your clothes.

Pros: The deodorant is pretty good, though. It is convenient to hold and apply, it copes with the task quite well – of course, I could not stand it for 48 hours without a shower, but during the working day it copes with the heat.
