Bliss Underarmy

Lilykind · Hermes

I bought it when it first came out at Sephora and returned it a week later because...uhhhh...it didn't work. I have sweaty underarms too and I was hoping this would do the trick. Well, it feels nice and cooling when you apply it, but the anti-perspirant abilities wear off fast. The Sephora SA I returned it to actually recommened unscented men's deodarant because it's stronger than women's deodarant.

lilykind, thanks for your response. Have you tried a men's unscented deodorant? How do you like it and which brand do you use? This sounds a little strange but if it works i'd be willing to try it. I've heard of another kind that is so strong that you only need to apply it once every few days, but I've also heard that it can burn your underams--not really interested in that happening.

I would recommend certain dry you can get this at cvs or walgreens, maybe walmart. Yes it will burn if you put it on after shaving. So just do it a day afetr (at nite) you only need it once every few days.Then when I shower in the morning I use my regular deo (dove or soft n' dry).I have absolutely no more pobs with sweating or sweat marks on my clothes.

I second the Certain Dry. The directions say not to apply it after shaving or bathing (when your pores are open) because it is really strong and can irritate your skin. I use it daily in the summer though and only had an occasional bout of irritation (easily rid by taking a day off from the Certain Dry). I also use men's deoderant - Speed Stick 24/7 - and it works much better than women's deoderant IMO. Unless you have SUPER sensitive skin, you should be fine with the Certain dry. Just start using it every other day and work up to every day if needed.

I use Bliss Underarmy...and it's okay. I really don't sweat that much, but I like to use this because of the tingle and sweet mint smell. If you sweat a lot, or even work out and need something for just that kind of use, I really dont recommend it. Just stick with regular deoderant. This product is good for minimal sweat, and I just like the smell, not really what it does.
