Vanicream Anti-Perspirant Deodorant for Sensitive Skin – 2.25 oz – Clinical-Strength Deodorant with 24-Hour Protection – Unscented

Sodium hydroxide > sodium bicarbonate
I have sensitive pits. They sting and burn after using the same deodorant or antiperspirant for more than a day or two, making wearing regular deodorant painful and impossible. Assuming it was the aluminum, I have tried every men’s “sensitive” deodorant under the sun. Dove Aluminum-free, Dr. Squatch, Native, Tom’s, Method, Arm & Hammer Essentials Charcoal, Every Man Jack, etc. Everything eventually made my armpits raw and painful after a few days.I did some research and finally found Vanicream and gave it a try, expecting the same results. Much to my surprise, it has been a month, and I have no pain after daily use. This has no aluminum, no baking soda, no nothin’. Vanicream isn’t a cream at all, but rather a clear gel liquid that goes on smooth and dries before you put your shirt on, and leaves no residue or stains. It isn’t sticky or flaky, or anything you hate about other deodorants. In fact, it isn’t much of anything at all, with an ingredients list of only a few components. It doesn’t even smell like anything, which could delight you or seem entirely pointless to you, depending on what you want out of your deodorant. If you have a strong and stinky natural body odor, this deodorant may not be for you. If you work long days and expect to smell as fresh as a daisy at the end of the day, this deodorant may not be for you.If you like your natural scent (and want to attract others with your natural scent instead of covering it up with a chemical body spray) and you have sensitive pits and just want a very basic deo to help stave off the stench for about 8-10 hours, this deodorant is for you. I believe the reason this works so well for folks with sensitive pits is because of the sodium hydroxide ingredient, which does a better job of alkalizing than sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) which is normally used in natural deodorants.

Must-buy for those with sensitive skin!!!
My sensitive skin does really well with these ingredients. I started reacting to other aluminum free formulas and, after trying this same brand’s facial lotion, I thought I’d give this a try.The gel is new to me. It does take a short amount of time to dry, but it’s not sticky when it does. Only a small amount is needed, even with only three slots to dispense the product (pictured). It took my body maybe a few days (maybe more?) to adjust to using this product. Once I adjusted, this product has worked better than any other deodorant I’ve tried. Also, the fact that there is no fragrance is something I didn’t know I needed. I’m very sensitive to smells as well and this is fantastic.I’ve found that storing this upright is better than on its side due to the gel component.

Mi piel no tolera el 99% de los antiperspirantes y desodorantes. He probado de todo, los disque para piel sensible, “naturales”, los de cristal. Todos me irritan al punto de acabar casi en carne viva. Los únicos que tolero son los de Tom’s pero sólo una o dos fragancias. Me había resignado a usar sólo esos y vivir con el sudor. Después de leer la recomendación de una dermatóloga, decidí intentar con este, con mucho miedo de que me lastimara. Pero no fue así, funciona de maravilla y mi piel está perfecta!. Voy en el segundo y aún sin ninguna reacción. No tiene fragancia ni aceites esenciales, esas dos cosas son los principales irritantes en los productos cosméticos. Funciona tan bien que no necesita fragancias para enmascarar nada. Siguiendo el tip de la dermatóloga lo aplico en la noche antes de dormir (aparentemente si te lo pones en la mañana ya es muy tarde y el cuerpo ya recibió la señal de generar sudor).

Vanicream doesn’t make the skin around my underarms itch. My underarms don’t itch either. The cons are that it does stay wet for a while so you can’t put your top on right away, but that’s minor. This is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant. I would recommend Vanicream. Am so happy that there is no itch on my skin anymore. It was driving me crazy. Vanicream to the rescue. A great invention.
