Roll On Antiperspirant Recommendations

beach-mom — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 18:49:56 GMT

I have worn Fresh for so long I honestly can't remember wearing anything else, although I'm sure I did when I was younger! It's probably been around 25-30 years.

A while back Sephora stopped carrying it. I found it at Blue Mercury. Last time I bought about 6 of them! Now I'm out. Blue Mercury can't get it in. Of course no one knows what's going on.

I found 2 on Amazon and got those. Now I'm ready to start using my last one.

I decided to call Fresh to see what's going on. The representative told me it's been discontinued in the US. She doesn't know why. You can get it in Canada, but as many people as I know in different countries, I have no contacts there any longer.

I assume the ones I bought on Amazon are from there. She said they don't recommend buying from Amazon because people are using the empty containers and filling them with other ingredients.

Can anyone recommend a good roll-on antiperspirant? It doesn't look like I'll get this again.

There are so many out there but I have used Secret roll on over the years and I was happy with it. Though I do prefer a solid antiperspirant/deodorant and now I mostly use Arm & Hammer as it contains baking soda, I like it very much as does DH. I don't normally sweat alot but I find this one works wonders, especially in the summer months.

I have been wearing Mitchum since I was a teen. It's the only antiperspirant that 100% works.

My husband has used it since we got married over 51 years ago. He won't wear anything else either.

I have been using Avon's Cool Confidence roll on deodorant - Baby Powder scent for at least 15 years. Works well for me and I like the light scent.

@beach-mom

I have been using DoTerra stick deodorant because I assume it is healthier

It contains Douglas fir and orange essential oil in it.

This one is the best one I've ever tried. Fragrance free.

Be sure and follow the directions.

This is not a deodorant. It's a serious antiperspirant.

I only now use Aluminum free deodorant, and most of them come in a stick, but I dont want the aluminum.

I always used Suave roll on, just good as any other with aluminum, nice powdery scent and very inexpensive

Another vote for Certain Dri. I only have to use it every 2 or 3 days it is so effective.

Another vote for Mitchum. Just started using it again after a lot of years. It's unscented and works well, easily found for purchase.

@Shelbelle. It's the aluminum that keeps you dry.

"Did you know you’re constantly sweating, whether you feel it or not? Catch this…aluminum salt is the active ingredient in antiperspirant, and it’s the only ingredient deemed safe and effective by the FDA to help fight sweat. When you apply an antiperspirant, that salt dissolves in the sweat at the surface of your sweat glands, forming a temporary, shallow plug. That plug significantly reduces the amount of sweat leaving your sweat glands, which means you stay drier for longer. Less sweat means less bacteria can grow. Less bacteria, less odor. Thanks aluminum".

I have a hard time finding unscented deodorant. I don't want a powder, citrus or any floral scent.

Deodorant is not the same as antiperspirant. OP is asking for antiperspirant recs.

Yes, I know it is the anti perspirant that keeps you dry, but I have found a few very good ones without the aluminum and am staying pretty dry this summer, I would rather avoid the aluminum and still be dry than not. I have never understood the purpose of an Unscented deodorant, I thought one of the reasons for it was to smell good.

And yes, I see the OP is asking for an anti perspirant, but there are very good reasons for wanting to avoid the aluminum and go more natural.

When my husband was alive, he used to get a terrible rash from the aluminum in anti perspirants. Now, there are some deodorants without the Aluminum, but back then I had to get him what was called Crystal Rock. It was a large crystal rock of mineral salts that you would dampen slightly with water and use it under your arms. It work great for him (no rash and kept him dry, no odor) and it's considered naturally hypoallergetic. It's still sold and actually quite popular.

Only one I ever used that caused me to break out was Mitchum, way too harsh for me.

@Biftu. The scent seems to dissipate as soon as the product is applied.

"Unscented" is actually an aroma used to hide the smell of the chemicals used in manufacturing the product...

I use Crystal. It's not the rock that needs wet, if you remember that. It's a liquid, clear roll-on. I use it everyday. No complaints. It is sold many places- target, Walmart, cvs, maybe Walgreens.

@Kachina624 Unfortunately not the ones I've tried.
