Review on πŸ’¦ Arrid XX Extra Extra Dry Ultra Fresh Deodorant - 2.6 oz: Maximum Sweat Protection by Melinda Oliver

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sometimes alphabetical order works

Besides living on the absolute edge of the so-called "temperate zone" and besides the tropics, I have the most unruly, sensitive skin in the world that regularly rebels. against everything I put on him. I'm forced to live on a terrible 'list' - no matter how it sounds, it's a list of products my dermatologist has approved for my skin. And first on my list was an antiperspirant/deodorant that actually worked without turning my skin fiery red or leaving behind huge black flakes/dead skin (if that sounds gross to you, imagine what it's like to put up with that live) The parade of antiperspirants and deodorants began about seven years ago, but even the use of doctor-approved products has not been successful. About two years ago I switched from other non-working commercial brands (Arm and Hammer, Dove, Secret and a few others etc.) to a natural deodorant (Lavanila) that worked for a while and then disappeared. I then switched to a holistic do-it-yourself deodorant made from coconut oil and essential oils, which dissolved upon application and left me smelling like an extremely sweaty essential oil factory. Guys, I live in Florida. You can't use pathetic, cowardly deodorant or antiperspirant here. Just walking across a supermarket parking lot is enough to make you sweat like a horse. And I love horses, but I'd rather they only smell them when I'm around them. Desperately, I went through my list again. I skipped Arrid for years, which was at the top of the alphabetical list because another strain made me erupt (even though it was on the "safe" list), but since I've tried pretty much everything else, I've come on back to this one. I was afraid to look at it again for a while, but it's been more than half a year and it still works, it smells a little like soap, which doesn't excite me, but I'm not brick red and itchy, and I don't smell like horses - and it keeps me dry and comfortable for the rest of the day, as it should be. moral of the story? Sometimes works in alphabetical order. I wish I had done that from the start.

Pros
  • Combination of deodorants and antiperspirants
Cons
  • Quality
