Dove Invisible Crystal Anti-perspirant Deodorant Roll-on (50 ml)

This is a super-effective deodorant (it has aluminium in it) that keeps me fresh and stink-free all day long. It hasn't stained any of the clothing I've used so far, so that's fantastic. The shape of the bottle is ergonomic and application is easier than with the traditional container. It contains 50 ml of deodorant, but, at first sight, the bottle looks smaller than the standard one; yet,  it is not. I don't like the scent at all, but it is not strong, so that's OK. Great deodorant if you're on a budget. 

 

The back of the bottle says, "this pack contains 24% less plastic than our previous Dove women roll-on". What about men's? Yet, this is still a pack made of single-use plastic by a multinational that could easily pack this in glass containers instead of using the profits of not doing that to support regimes that do horrific things to other humans. Glass is environmentally safe and easily recyclable. So please, don't BS consumers. The fact that I buy from them is due to my budget not because I think they do care for the environment. They do not.

Sebamed Roll-On Deo 24hr 50ml

I bought this deodorant as I'm very conscious of the use of aluminum deodorants, due to the latest scientific findings, especially for me as I've been using aluminum deodorants for years, so I thought I'd try something new. I browsed Amazon for an alternative that was cheap and had good reviews and I landed on Sebamed aluminum-free deodorant. 

 

The bottle I got looks a bit roundish, wider and smaller than the one in the product page (see my photo). I love the glass bottle, as it reduces my plastic footprint, and the roll-on system.

 

Although the scent is described as 'lime', ain't sure that what's the smell is. It is kinda of herbal-ish to me, not sure if citrus is a word that I'd use, but it's a kind of unisex scent, not sweet  or light but not strong either. I can't say I love the scent, but it's OK.

 

Before using it, I was concerned about the fact that the lack of aluminum would result in lack of effectiveness, Luckily, I was mistaken. I walk often to/from work, sometimes during warm days, and this deodorant does the job. Ain't sure if it'll work equally good in the heart of Summer. I will update my review if needed then.

Nivea Black & White Invisible Fresh Roll-On Deodorant (50ml)

Excellent deodorant. My every-day go to. It has a neutral scent and a liquid-ish consistency that makes spreading easily with the roll-on. I have sensitive skin and I have never had a reaction to this deodorant despite using it every day after shower. It doesn't stain my dark tops at all. Good priced, too.

NIVEA Black & White Invisible Silky Smooth Roll On Deodorant (50ml)

I actually did the test after shaving my armpits, and this deodorant didn't itch or burn at all. So, it's perfect for sensitive skin. I had problems with other invisible Nivea clear deodorants in the past as, when I use them in summer, I get my armpits irritated, itchy and dark-skinned. But this one, so far, so good. The deodorant doesn't leave any marks on my clothes. The scent is very subtle and won't clash with any perfume or smell after application. Like with any other antiperspirant deodorant I use, this does remove the bad odour but I still perspire a bit.
