Advantages: Cheap, readily available, nice smell, keeps me dry & smelling fresh

Disadvantages: Leaves you covered in white marks if you get dressed too quickly!

Before discovering my new favourite deoderant (Dove Cucumber)- i was a regular user of this very cheap deoderant from my local Asda.

What does it claim to do:
Apparantly it has odour neutalising technology which responds to your body to give longer lasting freshness.

How much is it?
You get a 50ml roll on deoderant for 76p from Asda. I buy the sensitive variety, but you can also get it it cotton, responsive, and reduces white marks. I have quite sensitive skin and so i chose the sensitive. I was surprised as sensitive usually means fragrance free. Not the case with this.

The packaging:
The packaging is simple, yet functional. The different varieties come with different coloured lids, so you can easily identify the one you want on the shelf. Asda have recently changed the packaging and it now comes with a green lid for the sensitive one.

What i think:
The first thing i noticed when unscrewing the cap was the smell. To me it smells of Johnsons Baby Powder. I like that as love the smell of all johnsons baby products. For sensitivity it is excellent. I had no reaction using it, even after shaving. No stinging or red marks. It does keep me protected, not quite sure i can comment on the 24 aspect but if i apply in the morning it does its job all day. The deoderant keeps me dry and odour free-yah! The deoderant is a white liquid, that is not overly runny but applies evenly and without any effort.

Only negative:
My only criticism is that if you don't let this dry fully before getting dressed you will be covered in white marks. Sometimes i just don't have the time to stand flapping my arms in the air!

For the price i think this deoderant ticked all the boxes. However, leaving white marks to the extent it does is unforgivable in my book, so i have now switched to another brand.

Summary: If you have time to let this dry its a winner, if not steer clear!
