Let’s face it: perspiring profusely concerns many of you, especially since it’s something you experience each day you commute to work under this hot, humid weather. Applying an antiperspirant deodorant as part of your everyday beauty routine is a definite must-do before you step out the door.

Finding the right kind of deo for you is important, too. Begin by trying out several brands until you find what best suits your needs and balances your body odor.

If over-perspiration persists despite the use of an antiperspirant, Cosmopolitan.com suggests applying deodorant on your pits after your bedtime shower, and swiping it again in the morning after taking a bath, so your skin will work overtime in absorbing your deo.

Do you hate having white stripes on your pits and clothes after putting on deodorant? You may opt for a roll-on instead of the popular stick form to avoid smearing your outfit. Roll-on types leave a clear, liquid protection without the icky residue.

 

The FemaleNetwork team recently got the chance to sample Avon’s Feelin’ Fresh roll-on deodorant line which comes in four variants: Whitening (P145), Antibacterial (P135), Smoothing (P135), and Men’s (P145). All variants have the Smart Dry Pore Technology that provides 24-hour dryness and all-day freshness. Check out what they have to say about each:

Chrissy, Digital Editorial Manager (tried the Smoothing variant in Light Satin): I like it because even if it’s a roll-on, it’s not sticky and dries quickly. It also smells good without being overpowering. It’s great to use after shaving or plucking because it has ingredients that soothe the skin.

Shar, FN Staffwriter (tried the Whitening variant in Fresh Clean): I love the clean and fresh scent of Avon’s Feelin’ Fresh Whitening Deo and the fact that it doesn’t overpower my perfume. It does the 24-hour job pretty well; it particularly didn’t disappoint me on my workout day. I thought I’d smell awful after 30 minutes of dancing, but this deo kept my armpits dry throughout the workout. I just had to get used to letting it dry before I put on a top, but otherwise it’s a good alternative to my usual dry deo stick.

Cheekie, FN Staffwriter (tried the Antibacterial variant in Citrus Lime): I'm not a fan of the scent. I feel like once it blends with sweat, the citrus scent doesn't smell so good. But I did notice that it gives long-lasting protection. There was no need to reapply during the day. But on hectic days or when you're out under the sun for too long, it starts to fail you a little. I would recommend it for use only on regular days.

Happy, Fashion & Beauty Assistant (tried the Antibacterial variant in Powder Light): Although I’m not a big fan of roll-on deodorants, I like that it has an antibacterial element and I love the powder light scent that gives a real fresh feeling after application. You just need to let your underarms dry for a good 10 minutes after applying it to avoid staining your clothes. Still, its Smart Dry Pore Technology really did last 24 hours—my armpits were dry all day long.

Nicky Mendoza, Intern (tried the Antibacterial variant in Shower Fresh): I'm not really a fan of roll-ons but after smelling the product, I thought it was worth a try. Its scent is somewhat floral, which I like because it gives me the assurance that I smell good. Once applied, it dries quickly, giving that sweat-free feel in my armpits. I believe it lasted long because it kept my underarms dry until the next morning. Although my underarms didn't smell bad, the deodorant's scent went away quickly. To be honest, I don't think I will continue using the product because I really think the content of roll-ons is too harsh for the pH level of my underarms.

Joan Denise Garcia, Intern (tried the Whitening variant in Gentle Breeze): It doesn't have a sticky wet feeling and it keeps me dry. The scent is not overwhelming, just enough to smell fresh all day.

Trixie, Managing Editor (tried the Whitening variant in lotion form): I only use an unscented roll-on since my very sensitive underarm skin reacts negatively to scented ones, so I opted for the deo-lotion variant with whitening properties. This is the first time I’ve tried this type of deo, and I didn’t expect it to work, but I was impressed that it gave me all-day protection from sweat and odor. The best part is, even after several uses, my skin didn’t get rashes. Those with sensitive skin like mine could try this.
