Well, one year one month later!
Things have progressed, to tie in last year's entry, I used alleyoop's "Slow your roll" and 1/4 a stick later, my pits became darkened and painful to the touch. Becoming allergic or having a painful reaction to non-aluminium deodorants has been quite common for me, unfortunately.
The acne body wash, 10% benzoyl peroxide, PanOxyl has not given me any reactions, but also not given me noticeable results. I am almost done with it, but also use it on my feet and feel like no progress there either. Will I buy a second tube? Maybe. I shouldn't though given the last of results.
The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% has proven to be my saving grace. If I do not massage a slap of this unto my pits at least once a day, I can still smell myself even with deodorant on. I can't go back, this is the way now. I feel damp and wet in my pits, especially with the heat we've been having, but only my CLOTHING smells, if it's a cheap fabric (a la a few staple Shein pieces I adore wearing weekly).
No deodorant can keep my loyalty, but Glycolic Acid has my soul. I even impulse bought a travel size of it, knowing I can't go without! At USD 8.70, it really can't be beat. I bought it in Canada, but with the conversion it only cost me $8.75. I am not even done with the hand-me-down full sized bottle of it yet, and I will definitely be purchasing another. For $13, and no B.O. smell? Can't be beat.
Type-A didn't really work, still have some left, can't say I like the paste texture. And the sticks of Myro melted completely before I even got to use them and one created a ring on my antique desk, and I'm unhappy about that.
Currently using a Marshall's impulse buy called Ciroa, which does not exist online. It has a lovely sage and sandalwood scent that is slightly sweet, and I appreciate the paper packaging. I would continue to use this, if I ever see it again. I think that plastic packaging is such a waste and would love to support paper roll sticks of deodorant where possible. I'm also halfway though the stick and have yet to have an allergic reaction. Though, I think that I have not had an allergic reaction to any of the deodorants I've used since incorporating Glycolic Acid into my daily routine.
