Wday Tests: Choosing the Best Deodorant

– I always take a responsible attitude to the choice of deodorant. Due to the high activity during the day, I need a quality product to help me cope with unpleasant odors. And since most of my wardrobe is black, it is also important for me that the product does not leave marks. I’ve tried other Dove deodorants before, but this is the first time I’ve gotten to Invisible dry.

Expectations: an effect that will last all day, as well as an absence of marks on clothes and softer skin.

Reality: Dove has definitely done the job. The product is applied evenly, leaving a pleasant sensation on the skin. Checking if the deodorant protects against perspiration for 48 hours is difficult because I shower more often. However, I did not notice any traces of sweat or an unpleasant odor throughout the day. Moreover, the product does not stain clothes and does not take time to dry. I can’t help but note the fact that the deodorant does not have a pungent odor that could block the scent of my perfume.

Evaluation: 10 of 10. Dove Invisible dry is a great option for every day. Definitely one of my favorites now!

Antiperspirant aerosol “Fresh and invisible”, Rexona, 143 rubles

– I must admit, I wanted to test the new product from Rexona because of the cute packaging. And the promise that the smell of freshness will remain even after exercising strengthened my intentions.

Expectations: protection from sweat and odor for 48 hours, care for the skin of the armpits thanks to vitamin E in the composition and the absence of marks on clothes.

Reality: the first thing I would like to note is the fresh, pleasant smell of the product, which remained with me all day! And even after an hour of cardio, I could clearly feel his train. As for the main tasks, the deodorant coped with the protection from sweat and odor with a bang. The same applies to the marks on the clothes: they were not left, as promised.

Evaluation: 10 of 10. I can safely advise the remedy to everyone who does not sit still and systematically goes to the gym!

Men’s deodorant 24 hours Roll-On Weleda, 648 rubles

– Finding a good deodorant is how to go through a difficult quest: they promise one thing, but in fact you get something completely different. Although, it would seem, the requirements are not so many: to prevent the appearance of an unpleasant odor, not to clog the pores, to have an unobtrusive scent that will not compete with the base perfume. And yes, one of the main things: do not leave marks on clothes, which, unfortunately, cannot be removed by anything.

Expectations: All-day odor protection with no sticky effect or marks on clothes.

Reality: honestly, at first I was dubious about the new product. But I decided to give it a try – and it was right. An unobtrusive smell with a predominance of woody notes of sage, vetiver and rosemary is felt only at the moment of application and disappears after drying. The natural composition of the product without aluminum salts and parabens does not irritate delicate skin. True, protection for 24 hours is clearly not enough, however, if you are looking for a tool for a working day, you can be sure that it will cope with the functions declared by manufacturers.

Evaluation: 8 of 10. An excellent product that is suitable for everyday use. True, the price could still be lower.

Antiperspirant Dry Dry, 890 rubles

– Have you ever dreamed that unwanted hair would not grow, nails retained perfect coverage for months, and indeed there were fewer women’s worries? It turns out that there is one way to alleviate our lot – Dry Dry antiperspirant. The product promises not to give an unpleasant odor to appear for a whole week! Check it out?

Expectations: Dry Dry is a well-known remedy that rescues in situations in which other deodorants will not cope. The product can be used not only in the armpits, but also on the palms of the hands and feet. Also, the distinctive characteristics of Dry Dry: the product should be used no more than twice a week. One tube, according to the manufacturers, is enough for 3-5 months.

Reality: the composition of the product is unusual. No claims that it is completely natural and smells like alpine meadows: denatured alcohol (butyl alcohol, denatonium) and aluminum chloride hydrate – 30,5%. Is it scary? The product looks like ordinary water without a pungent odor, and you need to apply it in the evening, after a bath. And be sure to read the instructions: Dry Dry cannot be used after depilation, otherwise you can get not only a burning sensation, but also very painful irritation on the skin.

Experts have argued many times that the mechanism of the product can disrupt the functions of the sweat glands, but they came to the conclusion that the remedy is absolutely safe. The first sensations are strange: you put on deodorant – and you forget about the unpleasant smell altogether. You don’t need to use it the next morning or even the next evening and every other day! You get used to it quickly. Unfortunately, after depilation, you have to return to the usual deodorant for at least a day. I’ve never had a problem with sweating, but it’s definitely a great product!

Rating: 10 of 10 points. After a survey among friends who use Dry Dry, we came to the general opinion that this is one of the most comfortable deodorants.

– For one of the most important days in my life, I chose deodorant with extreme caution: my wedding dress was with open arms, so I could not tolerate any irritations and stains.

Expectations: Unfortunately, most deodorants contain alcohol, so immediately after epilation and depilation, the risk of irritation is very high.

Reality: Clarins Universal Deodorant is alcohol-free and formulated with extracts of buchu leaves, witch hazel and rosemary. Thanks to its natural composition, the product is truly non-irritating and keeps you feeling dry and fresh throughout the day.

The only negative: Roll-on deodorant does not dry instantly, and if you are going to wear something tight, give the product a few minutes to dry.

Rating: 9 out of 10. I take off the point only for a long drying time.

Deodorant stick L’Occitane en Provence Cedrat, 1950 rubles

– I know and love the L’Occitane brand for a long time. Among the brand’s products, I already have my favorites, like shea butter hand cream and scented shower gels. True, cosmetics for facial skin care are absolutely not suitable for me. I used the brand’s deodorant for the first time and was very pleased.

Expectations: men’s deodorant stick contains citron extract, which is designed to stimulate cell renewal and restore the skin. In addition, the product should moisturize the skin and energize it. There are no aluminum salts in the composition, so the stick does not block perspiration, but only neutralizes the unpleasant odor.

Reality: I can’t say for sure about moisturizing and energizing. But the deodorant masks the smell perfectly. I haven’t met such a good and 100% suitable product for a long time. When applied, the deodorant seems to melt on the skin, does not leave a wax film, like many of its counterparts, and is very refreshing. In addition, it does not leave marks on dresses and tops, you can dress immediately after application. Separately, I would like to say about the aroma. He’s just amazing and doesn’t smell like “man” at all. Therefore, it is suitable for both sexes. As for the sweat smell, this stick managed to last all day. Even after a ride in a stuffy subway. Unfortunately, by the end of the day, the scent of lemon is not as strong as it was at the beginning.

I was also able to test the stick under training conditions. Here he showed himself no worse. Applied deodorant before going to fitness. Despite the fact that I was sweating a lot and was thoroughly wet, my armpits exuded a fresh lemon scent. In general, I am very happy and ready to abandon my beloved men’s Vichy forever in favor of L’Occitane. By the way, my husband really liked Cedrat, but for him it turned out to be a little weak.

Evaluation: 10 of 10. The aroma and protection are beyond praise.

Antiperspirant deodorant roll-on against white and yellow spots 48h, Vichy, 895 rubles

– I used to always use solid deodorants, it seemed to me that they are more effective in their task. I was pretty skeptical about ball-type ones, I don’t like the feeling of moisture in my armpits. And in my experience, solid deodorants are much better at dealing with sweat odors. However, after trying the ball version from Vichy, I changed my mind. All day the armpits were dry and pleasantly fragrant.

Expectations: The manufacturer says that the mild deodorant formula is specially adapted for use on sensitive skin or after hair removal. The antiperspirant active ingredients, combined with the soothing white lily extract, provide the skin with effective protection for 48 hours. All this was for me to check.

Reality: very delicate smell, practically not felt after application, 5+ protection, dries relatively quickly. It takes good care of the skin, it is soft and looks healthy.

Evaluation: I give a rating of 10 out of 10 for the reliable protection and soft skin of the armpits. I will continue to use this tool in the future.

Deodorant T’eo, Lush, 650 rubles

– With the Lush brand, which, by the way, does not test its products on animals, I was familiar only in absentia, and I only learned about the fact that there are solid deodorants in the form of soap not so long ago. To be honest, my choice of a tool for our permanent column was driven precisely by curiosity.

Expectations: the manufacturers promised that this product is perfect for both men and women, has a neutral scent and protects the skin for a long time.

Reality: Before using, I read the reviews about this type of deodorant and found both fans and opponents of this product. Many have argued that solid deodorant, for example, scratches the skin very hard. For example, it didn’t seem to me that way, the product, which contains only natural ingredients, is quite easy to apply. The only thing that did not inspire me was that the product covers the skin with a white dense film and crumbles after a while.

By the strength of the impact, I put a solid five, because the tool coped with its task just fine. Yes, this is not the same effect as that of antiperspirants, but after all, their composition and properties are completely different. Also, many noted that, for example, during sports, there is absolutely no benefit from such a deodorant, but the product suited me perfectly. The main thing is to follow the instructions and apply the product to the skin correctly.

Rating: 9 out of 10. In my opinion, the price is a little overpriced.
