Aluminum-Free Exfoliating Underarm Roll-On Deodorant | 5% AHA (Lactic & Mandelic Acid) | Odor Protection for Sensitive Skin | Aqua | 1.35 fl oz.

Sometimes in life we find a small product that will improve our experience so drastically that we can never be the same again. Ladies and gentlemen, this is such a product. Let me explain. I live in Missouri. Many people do not realize Missouri's climate is classified as "humid subtropical" until the summer hits and then we all understand to our core. This is the wettest year on record. 70-95 percent humidity every day, with the exception of five days, since June first. Nearly two months of he'll! So when I saw that this product was made by and for the folks that live in India, I was very excited and thought it could stand up to a wet Missouri summer. OH MY GOD! I can, and have for the sake of proving my point, bury my face in my armpit and breathe in as hard and deeply as possibly at the end of a long day. I am a maid. These days are sweaty, believe me! I got the jasmine because I wear jasmine perfume. The smell is initially very strong, but fear not. It fades incredibly fast to leave a neutral to subtly jasmine smell, but the protection lasts literally all day. I've used tons of "natural" or aluminum free deodorant and this is the single one that lasts all day. All. Day. Even if I don't shower that evening, I don't smell in the morning from sleeping in the still hot air. There's no residue, no rub off on clothing, nothing. I've found NOTHING wrong or lacking in this product. In fact, I feel like the scientists studied my own body chemistry to make it just for me. That's how good it works. I'm genuinely deliriously happy about this product. Now to be clear, it is not an antiperspirant, but that's okay. Sweat. It's good for your body. Relax. You won't stink afterwards! Of course everyone has different body chemistry, and I'm so sorry if it doesn't work for yours. Please give it a shot, though. If it does work for you, this will absolutely be the last deodorant you ever try. AND YOU CAN WEAR IT WITH A SLEEVELESS BLACK DRESS! Oh, I love this product. It has set me free.

BEST ALUMINUM-FREE DEO FOR MENOPAUSAL B.O.! Like other reviewers, I have tried just about all aluminum-free deodorant options. This stuff ACTUALLY works! I have now tried Jasmine, Peach, and Woody Musk (they need to fix their spelling error). Jasmine scent lasts longest, but ALL of them stop the stink! Give it a full week of use before you judge. It takes a few days to slough off the stink that's been hiding out in dead skin cells on the surface, but it will exfoliate and reveal fresh, clean skin. This does sting a bit when you apply just after shaving your pits, but it goes away.

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.

The Chemist at Play UnderArm Roll-On works pretty good. It is dispensed easily and has 5% AHA Lactic & Mandelic Acid that prevents odor, which means you don't need to use very much. It does stay wet a bit long and you have to wait to put your shirt on, but after it dries, there is no residue, so that's great. It says that it helps to brighten the skin & actually exfoliates your underarm, which is something I've never heard from a product like this. I'll see how it works after using it for an extended time. Smells like a natural woody musk, and not too overpowering. Is alcohol & aluminum free, which is a lot safer than most others. I would definitely recommend it, and would love to try other scents.

Smells great, like cologne. I've used AHA & BHA toners on my underarms before so I was excited to try and deodorant with that as an all in one product for me. However, this burned and left my skin irritated and red which then after it healed over my skin has darkened. I've never had a problem with my skin being darker in my underarms. Really disappointed this didn't work for me

I really like this roll-on! It does a great job keeping odor under control, but what makes it stand out is the AHA formula. My underarms feel smoother and more cared for rather than just covered up with fragrance. The Woody Musk scent is pleasant without being overpowering, and I appreciate that the formula is alcohol and aluminum free. It rolls on easily, dries nicely, and hasn’t felt harsh on my skin. If you’re looking for an underarm product that tackles odor while also exfoliating and helping improve the look and feel of the skin, this is a great option.

Tried many different brands but this was the only aluminum free deodorant that worked while pregnant when the funk was turned up to 11. Also, only deodorant that gets rid of funk when reapplying and is a true refresh if I forget to reapply after a shower. Lasts all day but does take a couple minutes to dry down. Scents I've tried are nice: aqua, jasmine, and peach. Aqua is very traditional masculine, cologne scent and was the strongest scent. I found Jasmine to be the most light and pleasant out of the three. Don't smell it after the deodorant dries down so it really comes down to what you want to smell during application.

I’ve been using this roll-on deodorant and really like that it offers more than just odor protection. The 5% lactic acid and mandelic acid provide gentle exfoliation, which is a nice added benefit for the underarm area. I’m especially interested to see if continued use helps improve some unevenness and dark spots over time. The roll-on applies easily and evenly, although I did notice that my underarms stay a little wet for about 4 minutes after applying it. Once it dries, though, I don’t really notice it at all and it doesn’t leave my underarms feeling sticky. The scent I used was the woody musk, and I’ll say it is a little potent when you first apply it. It does settle down after a while, but if you prefer a very light or subtle fragrance, this may be something to keep in mind. Personally, I don’t mind the scent once it settles. I also appreciate that it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and free of parabens, silicones, mineral oil, dyes, and gluten. I like that it combines deodorant with skincare ingredients, so it feels like I’m getting a little more out of my daily routine. Overall, I’m enjoying it so far. It keeps me feeling fresh and I like the added exfoliating and brightening benefits. I’ll definitely continue using it to see how my underarm skin looks with regular use.

This roll on make my underarms whitish in 1 month daily uses. Fragrance is awesome, effective.

I have tried several underarm roll products but this is the best. Not only does it keep me fresh and odor free all day but I noticed my dark underarms started to lighten from the very first use. Highly recommended!

El olor es muy agradable, no parece desodorante y después de un mes de uso, veo bastante diferencia con la híper pigmentación. Lo único malo es que no funciona como antitranspirante, solo desodorante

Smells great dries quickly and doesn't leave any white stains on dark clothes

I’ve been using the Chemist at Play underarm roll-on and really like it so far. I’m on my second bottle now.It goes on smoothly, doesn’t feel sticky, and has a pleasant, mild fragrance. It keeps my underarms feeling fresh throughout the day and is easy to use. Overall, a great everyday product and definitely worth trying!
