UnderArm Roll-On with 5% Lactic Acid 1% Mandelic Acid | Prevents Odour Brightens Skin & Exfoliates Underarm | Fragrance-Free for Sensitive Skin | Alcohol & Aluminium Free | 1.3 Ounce

TLDR; Works great as a deodorant not an antiperspirant, but ability to withstand sweating varies depending on scent. Woody musk & aqua fragrance have performed better with a lot of sweating for me than white jasmine and no fragrance.---For background about myself, I take medication that causes me to be excessively sweaty (if you take SSRIs you may relate). Like I drip buckets and sweat like no other. You cannot possibly imagine the amount of water I consume to stay hydrated. However, I don't like antiperspirants and most do not work for me. Therefore, I am only judging these deodorants on their efficacy as a deodorant and how well they withstand sweating.I have used all kinds of deodorants on the market. Lume, carpe, secret, dove, arm & hammer, old spice, saltair, megababe, native, schmidt, degree, mitchum, just to name a few. If it exists, I've probably tried it. Most antiperspirants containing aluminum and deodorants with a base of baking soda have not worked for me. They either aren't effective at removing my body odor and/or they do not last long enough and I have to reapply. Because I am super extra unimaginably sweaty, reapplying is a whole process of wiping dry and cleaning the surface before reapplying. It's really annoying and inconvenient, especially because I live in Texas.Because of this, my preference in deodorant is acid-based deodorants! Although I am still super sweaty, I find that acid-based deodorants best neutralize my body odor for an entire day, even if I spend the day outside sweating basically non-stop. In my experience, glycolic acid doesn't mesh well with my body chemistry, by mandelic acid works great, ymmv.My previous deodorant I loved is the Saltair Serum deodorant, but it's more expensive and has been more difficult for me to find because it's only at select Target stores.The convenience of the Chemist At Play Mandelic Acid deodorant has made it my all time fave and is currently a staple. I've been consistently using this brand of deodorant for over 7 months and I have tried 4 scents: no fragrance, aqua fragrance, woody musk fragrance, and white jasmine fragrance.My absolute favorite is Woody Musk and I've repurchased it. I like the smell and it effectively deodorizes me for the length of a day. I usually do not need to reapply. A 5/5 from me all day every day.My second favorite is the Aqua fragrance. It's not my favorite scent (not that it smells bad, just not my preference, it's a really masculine scent) but it still works great. It keeps any body odor at bay and usually doesn't require reapplication. As a deodorant, I still give this one a 5/5 objectively, but my personal opinion for the fragrance bumps it to a 4/5, personally. I'd still suggest anybody considering to try to themselves. I did finish the bottle myself.The final two, White Jasmine and No Fragrance are iffy for me. White Jasmine smells really good and feminine but I've found it to not last as long as woody musk or aqua fragrance. This requires reapplication and smell checks if I'm sweating a lot. No fragrance is truly no fragrance unlike other "no fragrance" deodorants. However, I have the same issue where I find it doesn't last quite as long either. I still use both if I'm not expecting to sweat much but they're more or less just backups I plan to use til empty and not repurchase. I'd give these 2 specifically a 3.5/5 stars. I think I'd only suggest these if you don't sweat too much.

This is very effective at preventing odor. I use this after a shower on dry skin and it keeps the odor causing bacteria at bay. The lightening effect under my arms was very slight. This is a deodorant not an antiperspirant so you will still sweat. While I have never had any irritation it will sting if you try to put it on nicked skin. I got the scent Oud and it is POWERFUL. Smells lovely but it completely overpowers a perfume. Since it smelled so nice I just found a complimentary body spray. I have not been able to use any nonaluminum deodorants until this. Others have given me dry itchy skin or chemical burns but this one has been the exception for me.I really feel like I have to make clear how powerful the scent is though. Like I thought I knew what I was getting when other reviews said it but I was not prepared, lol. While they do make it in unscented, I am afraid to try it full time. While this has been very effective, completely odorless, if I apply it only to freshly washed and dried pits, putting it on sweaty pits I'll reduce the odor but not eliminate it. For that reason a bit of perfume is my preference but just be warned.

This is an aluminum-free roll on liquid "deodorant." It is a thinner consistency than some other roll-ons, and doesn't have a noticeable scent. It is not meant to be an anti-perspirant and so it does nothing to control sweat. Frankly though, it does very little to control odor either, especially if you are doing anything active. I have had this product for about four weeks and I have been alternating it with other aluminum-free deodorants. I have noticeable BO every time I wear it. Today, I applied it around 10 am. I took a short walk at lunch time and when I returned I smelled. Not HORRIBLE BO, but enough for me to feel stinky. So, this deodorant is going to go in the trash like so many before (and so many yet to come). Before anyone says that I am wearing deodorant wrong, I have not been using aluminum deodorants for about three months--so, there's no weird detox interaction going on. I cannot speak to the ability of this product to lighten because I don't have dark skin.

I have tried SO many deodorants (*not antiperspirants*) and this one is the BEST I have found. I literally have an entire cabinet full of aluminum free deodorants I have tried, some expensive and some not, but each and every single one has something wrong with it. Either they do not keep odor away at all, they burn my underarms, they don't smell good, they are too chalky or wet or thick or stain my clothing, etc. I truly believe that the acid in this roll on is what kills the odor causing bacteria and keeps it away for hours. I do sweat a lot and it smells bad. Even right after I shower and scrub my pits clean, I can sometimes still smell the BO. It has been years and years of a struggle to find the right deodorant for my body chemistry. I first tried the scented version of this and while it worked, I did not enjoy the scent and felt it was too strong and interfered with my perfume. This unscented version is what I have been looking for all along. After showering, I dry my armpits and roll this on a few times, then let it dry for a few minutes before getting dressed. Yes, you do have to let it dry because it is a liquid but once it is dried it does not stain your clothes or rub off. I will certainly take the few minutes a day to properly apply this over BO. I do have to say that if I wear it everyday for about a week, it does start to make my armpits a little red and itchy, but then I just take a break for a few days and it's fine. I also tried the Drunk Elephant mandelic acid sweaty pitti and while I initially loved that, it burned my armpits eventually and made them itch intensely so unfortunately, I can no longer use that one. This one by Chemist at Play I have been using for a long time and have not had that reaction. I can usually get through most of the day without BO while using this product and I just hope they never stop making it!! I just ordered 3 more so I am well stocked for now.
