Vanicream Aluminum-Free Gel Deodorant - 2 oz - Unscented Formula for Sensitive Skin

I have contact dermatitis that flares up whenever and wherever and recently I have been getting bad rashes under my arm. I would use the ordinary toner as a deodorant but after getting this rash I wasn’t able to so I switched back to clinical strength deodorant because the heat in NY recently is bad. I used degree and secret clinical strength and the burning of it was horrible. Did some research and chat gpt recommended this to me which I was skeptical at first because it has no scent but it works so well. Since using it my rash is slowly going away, it does in fact help with odor and does not burn going on at all. Would definitely be getting the rest of my life, please never stop carrying this!!!The only con I can think of is at the end of the day when trying to bathe it leaves a weird film under my arm which is hard to take off with regular rag and soap. I need to use facial product and a silicone face scrub to scrub the day’s deodorant off to then reapply a fresh new coat before bed.

I’m allergic to many things and get painful cysts in my armpits that get infected and when lanced, hold a shocking amount of green or brown guck. It’s painful AF and so, not out of wanting to avoid aluminum, I just stopped using antiperspirants. This cut down the cysts (the size of my thumb under my skin in my armpit). So I began my “natural deodorant” journey. zOMG I have bought over 30 deodorants. Anything with grass or tree based eases risk oils or even Baking soda broke me out in a bloody rash that would take weeks to heal. Weeks of zero deodorant and hebacleanse followed by cetephil facial wash and no clothes that were not sift cotton or silk. It has been a hellish struggle. The few times I thought I found something that worked, after 4-6 weeks, I would start getting very red which was my cue to go back to cetaphil facial wash on my armpits and no deodorant. After many years I had an ok, but not great rotation. Kopari unscented coconut deodorant (the essential oils in the scented ones give me a bloody rash) when I was too sensitive for anything else, but it had to be reapplied 3-4x a day and if I was exercising or anxious, that meant showers too. So then sometimes, if I didn’t kind a white film on my clothes, I would use MagnoSol in Rose. Still is viscous as heck so use a thin amount and spread with facial massage stone. That stuff will kill the worst stench abd can be reapplied if you break through and make you smell great again. The minus, it is hard as heck to get off. I would use Dr. Bronners Peppermint soap l, followed by Cetaphil facial wash. After about 10 days I would get irritated skin again, I’m sure from the harsh soap I had to result to, to wash it off. Then I found Freedom Deodurant in CocoVan and that worked better than Kopari on smell, but still needed applied 2x a day and once you broke through, no reapplication would stop the stank. At day 10 I got irritation too. Piffle.Then I say this Dermatologist on YouTube called Dr. Dray. She suggested this and I checked with my actual dermatologist and got the green light. So glad I did.Now I will tell you at first I slathered this on abd it pulled up like crazy and didn’t seem to work well, my pits were wet all day, though no white residue on clothes. Next I wasted abd was shocked that it came off with my cetaphil sensitive skin bar soap. That soap is light weight and could not cut through any other deodorant but Kopari. So, pleasant suprize. Then I thought, just how little can I apply and have it work and that was the trick. I turn the bottom wheel that pushes up the irifuct until you just start to think you see product. It’s clear, so, before you see a full drop form on top. (When I flipped over the deodorant with the cap on and marked it in half’s until there were 8 marks, it seems to take about 1/8th turn to sometimes not quite a 1/4 turn to get the perfect amount of product.) it is not much at all! That thrilled me for the value. If your armpits are damp, there is no way you will feel if you are putting product on. So I blot just armpits and do the 1/8 to just under 1/4 turn, look to see if there is pricier there and then apply it smoothly. Making sure it covers my entire armpit area. Then by the time I finish moisturizing and spf’ing my face, my armpits are dry. I have never had to reapply (though I have not jogged on summer heat yet) I have been using this daily for over a month and ZERO irritation!!! Zero. No red, no bloody rash or lumps that will be so painful I can’t live my arm due weeks... just, smooth, calm, happy, no stank skin. I feel so great about this product that I bought the anti perspiration version to try for when I wear my dry Jean only silk ball gown after the pandemic is not as big an issue. So save yourself 5+ years and 20+ Products at over $5.00 each and just buy this. It may take a few tries to master the application, but you will adore it once you do!

I tried the Vanicream Anti-Perspirant Deodorant for Sensitive Skin, and overall, it worked okay. I really appreciate that it's unscented and designed for sensitive skin, as many deodorants can irritate my skin, but this one didn't cause any discomfort or breakouts. It's also great for people with fragrance sensitivities.The clinical-strength formula offers 24-hour protection, and while it does keep me dry for a decent amount of time, I didn’t feel like it was as strong as some other brands I've tried. It works, but I did find myself needing to reapply after a long, active day, especially in hotter weather.If you have sensitive skin and need a gentle, effective anti-perspirant, it’s worth trying. But for someone like me who needs a bit more sweat control or long-lasting protection, it may not be quite as effective as some others.

I appreciate companies that prioritize and provide clean and effective products for humans. No gunk or fillers. This product delivered results with the first use.I applied it at night as recommended by Dr Dray on youtube, so that the product had time to penetrare the sweat glands without the friction and sweat that comes with morning application.My underarms were dry and sweat free all day (with light activity) with no irritation or other side effects.If you are hesistant to try, give it a chance.

This deodorant is the best unscented deodorant that I have ever used. I have sensitive skin and it does not burn nor break out, like other deodorants have made me. It goes on nice and smooth and lasts me all day. I live in a very hot climate and although I work indoors, my work is active and I do sweat frequently. All bodies have a natural odor, so I am not saying that there is absolutely no smell. I am saying that it is not a funky smell and I am not afraid to reach above someones head throughout the entire day. There were some days where I felt like it was failing, a quick sniff test assured me that my pits were good to go. I will even admit to being so exhausted that a few times when I got home, I changed from my work clothes, washed my face, neck and arms, then went to sleep. When I got up the next day, my pits had a bit of musty smell then, but not that overpowering woah is that me smell that comes with either no deodorant, or failed deodorant. I have bought this for years and I was unable to find it here for quite a while. During that time, I have been more disappointed than not, in all the other deodorants that I have tried as replacements. While I will continue to try other deodorants, I am genuinely glad my old trusty is back.

I usually stay away from deodorant containing aluminum but schmidts deodorant is giving me an insane reaction that I cant handle. Red rashes and swollen armpits is a nono. This will help in the meantime I find something without aluminum that is easy on my skin.Also, huge bonus for it not smelling like anything. Not sure how they did it but it is amazing.
