Advantages: Keeps you fresh and dry
Disadvantages: can dry out
For some time now, my anti perspirant of choice has been anything which is a hydro solid, and one brand in particular, which has featured in a former review.
I like these hydro solids because one of my pet hates is getting up in the morning and either spraying cold spray onto myself and having the white bits fall to the floor, or rolling a cold liquid on. It's all to do with cold, especially in the winter.
These offer the perfect solution…effective and not cold!
THE PROMISE…
Whenever I buy a new product, I always like the promises they make. Usually they all promise more or less the same thing but give no real indication as to how they can deliver this promise.
This is a good one…it promises to be so effective that you can miss a day. I don't know about anyone else but I like my daily bath or shower, and unless under extreme circumstances, would not like to give my bath a miss just to prove the effectiveness of the product. It strikes me that were I in conditions where I couldn't find water, then the last thing on my mind would be how well my deodorant was coping!
The best bits are that it promises not to sting and goes on clear with no white residue.
THE PRODUCT
This comes in a normal tube with a twizzle mechanism at the bottom to wind the deodorant up and down. Take off the pull off cap and there is a little plastic protector- not to be confused with the deodorant which is underneath this!
The deodorant is a white solid block with no smell which I can distinguish, although I am using the unperfumed variety. The product is available in different perfumed varieties but I find I prefer the unperfumed, because sometimes the smell of the deodorant can clash with any perfume or other lotions and potions.
USING IT…
Simply wind the cap at the bottom a little way, apply and that's it. After use, wind down the deodorant stick and replace the cap to prevent the product from drying out.
It suggests that it shouldn't be applied to broken or irritated skin, but I don't think I'd want to as I know it would sting.
PRICE AND AVAILABILITY.
This is available in chemists and supermarkets and is priced around the £2.50 mark, although there are often offers on with £1 off, so keep eagle eyed!
Also available in roll on and the hydro stick (like mine) in fragrances such as unperfumed, powder fresh, and fresh wave.
MADE BY…
Revlon, London
Bizarre, I thought they made make up!
WHY I LIKE IT…
The product is easy to use and doesn't make me flinch with the cold or leave me scrabbling about bemoaning the fact that there are white bits all over the floor. No longer do I have to shake a can to guess how much is left, nor do I have to peer hopefully into a highly decorated opague bottle to try to see how much is left. The only problem I have encountered is that when it gets close to the bottom, the stick starts to fall off the base. This is an indication that it's time to get a new one. In fact, the indication comes slightly before this, as the product can dry out before I get to the end.
It goes on dry and keeps you dry, but I haven't tried out the clinically proven 48hour protection yet.
So, dries in an instant, no cold moments, very effective. Unlike some deodorants, it leaves no white marks which is a definite plus. It means I don't have to carefully manoeuvre clothes over my head and then try to sponge down dark clothes. Probably a must especially at this time of the year when the little black dresses are coming out in force.
The only down side is that it can dry out. I don't know why this happens because I do replace the top, but maybe it's just not completely air tight.
