Advantages: The fragrence settles and smells suprizingly fresh and clean, it also seems to stop some sweating.
Disadvantages: Ugly bottle, small nostle and tacky lid. It seems to work but I think it needs reapplying after 6hrs
I bought this as it said "active" on it, my main use for deodorants is for use within the gym, and this was for use for a very active aeorobics class.
I had sprayed it on in the morning, just for the daytime at first, it actually smelt stale, and I was starting to regret having bought it- and also haveing sprayed it insted of perfume. However, about 30 minutes later, haveing forgotten all about it, I caught a wiff of it and it smelt totally different! sort of like the scent you get when you have used a plain /white coloured fabric softener- I actually like this scent and was pleased with this.
I did feel I needed to reapply it before my gym class, it does state it gives 24 hours protection on my can, but I didnt feel safe, I sprayed again.
I did notice sweating less, -really only in places where I had sprayed it, this is suprizing as I sweat alot in my classes normally. It was a relief to not have my back sweat or underarms sweat, but as I had not sprayed it over my head, I did still have sweat pouring down my face (sorry for being overly descriptive if your eating!).
All in all, I think I would use this again, it seemed to have had an effect, I dont know if it would continue to last all day, to be honest, I have never given it the chance as before my class, I could no longer smell it on me anywhere near as strongly anymore, I didnt feel as safe.
Normally or in the past, I have tried sure active, nivea, mitchem and tridry with this not haveing as nice a scent as nivea but out doing it in dryness. It did a far far far greater job then mitchem and I think smells far better then sure active, in addition, it doesnt blow out the entire gym with fumes in the way that sure does! (and my gym changeing room is MASSIVE and with air con!)
One thing I would improve though, is the design of the can/bottle and lid- it looks tacky and dull! I know this is not the point of a depdorant to many people, but it is to me, I carry around my deodorant in a buisy gym, I dont want to feel embarrassed with something that looks cheap. You can see this product in many boots, superdrugs and supermarkets,judge for yourself. How it makes me feel does have an impact on useing it as frequently.
I recommend this for light excercise, and moderate excercise. I have not tried this in extreme conditions like a marathon.
Summary: buy this for light to moderate excercise, it will help you with sweating, but cant stop it 100%
