Wearing a deodorant and antiperspirant is as important as selecting a perfume, choosing your lipstick, styling your hair and wearing sunscreen.
Is a deodorant a cosmetic? Absolutely! Deodorants serve as both skin comfort care and scent products - they are certainly not necessities (although in our modern society they FEEL like they are). Deodorants are cosmetic items that improve our sense of cleanliness and comfort. We select the ones we like based on how they feel going on, how long their effects last, whether we like the scent and what their price point is.
I am one of those people who HAS to wear an antiperspirant every day, or I’ll end up a bit moist and stinky. So I have to be picky about my underarm protection.
All that said, I *love* this gliding antiperspirant by Suave. The scent is fresh and gentle, not overbearingly floral or like a huge waft of powder. I like violet scents in any case. The sweat pea top scent is more obvious to me than the violet base, but I can still detect it. As I wear a lot of perfume with notes of violet, it’s neat that my underarm scent won’t fight my cologne.
The sensation is nice - it’s dry and clean-feeling, not sticky or gloppy. The product goes on clear. I don’t have to worry about paste-like deodorant clumps in the folds of my armpit, or white marks on my clothing.
The container promotes its 24 hour protection, and for me, it lasts as long as it claims (ie - I can go until mid-morning of the next day on a camping trip without starting to smell/feel funky).
The newest container has a swivel base, which is a nice upgrade from the original screw disk at the bottom. This kind of improvement will be helpful for people with arthritis or dexterity problems: it’s a lot easier to manipulate. The base swivels smoothly and you can also un-swivel it backwards to make the product retreat into the container as needed.
The price point is about the same or slightly better than comparable products (I can usually find it on sale at Rite Aid, for example), and one container lasts around six months for daily use. A little goes a long way.
I hike, camp, work out on the treadmill and usually do yoga every day, and I still feel well protected at day's end with this product by suave.
Well recommended!
