Having issues with excessive sweating, sometimes to the point where my hands would be dripping with sweat. I have tried all kinds of deodorants, from roll-ons to sprays, specifically designed for athletes, and they were the only ones that kept me dry for a few hours. I had reached a point where I was considering getting miraDry treatment until I came across Vichy deodorants. Having been satisfied with other products from the brand, such as their shampoo for dry scalp, I decided to give it a try.
My first impression of the packaging was that it was smaller in size but contained the same amount of product as most deodorants, just lighter due to the plastic packaging instead of glass, which is common in the market. As for the scent, as most people mention, it does have a masculine scent, but only upon application. Once it dries, it becomes odorless and has not left any marks or residue on my clothes like other deodorants with multiple applications.
In terms of longevity, it does last for 3 days under mild conditions. In stressful conditions, it easily lasts me a day with just one application in the morning. The next day, I definitely need to shower, not because I smell bad, but to apply it on clean skin and for the deodorant to be more effective. You can apply it on already dirty skin, it will still cover you, but it won't be as effective or hygienic.
What impressed me the most is that this deodorant does not stick to the skin or leave any residue like other deodorants. With previous deodorants, I would have to rub my underarms two or three times in one application to make them last as long as possible, resulting in literal rubbing to remove them. I had started to worry about future health issues (cancer) with all that quantity on my skin. Luckily, with this deodorant, one swipe is enough.
I made the purchase on 3/4 and the packaging is still not finished after almost a week with almost daily use. I have also noticed a difference in sweating, maybe due to the temperature regulation it does on the underarms, as mentioned on the Vichy website. There is also a version called Stress Resist Anti-perspirant Treatment, which I don't see on their website and I don't know if there is a significant difference.
Overall, I can say that I have found a deodorant that makes me feel like a human and I don't have to worry about whether my shirt has become soaked (along with all the related jackets, etc. in winter) or if I smell a little bit. It has truly taken a burden off me. Give it a try before deciding to go to a dermatologist, it might help you too :)
