Items were received by Influenster VoxBox complimentary.
It's the start of a new year and what better way to kick it off than to receive a box that you forgot about! If you haven't tried Influenster just yet, I'd highly recommend that you do so. It's a great way to try new products.
Moving along, I remembered qualifying for a box but as it turned out, I qualified for two. So during that email mix up of mine, I was surprised to see this in the mail. For years now, I've been solely using deodorants (not antiperspirants) so my experience might differ a bit from those who typically use antiperspirants.
Off the bat, I was a bit hesitant to use it merely because it is in aerosol form. If you're not prone to paying attention to where you're spraying and instead singing along to your playlist, chances are you could miss. I've managed to avoid most aerosols for this reason. This will make sense later.
On the first day of using it, even though it's easy to use and yes, if you're paying attention you aren't bound to spray it anywhere else but that scent was a bit off. Not the actual scent of the antiperspirant itself but the aerosol goodness that lingered in the air. Seriously, I felt like I was choking on it. This is also very likely my fault so to any other people who are looking to use something similar, step out of small areas and go into areas that air freely flows because otherwise you're choking on the aerosol air even though your antiperspirant itself smells good.
Overall, it stayed on and kept those pits protected which is exactly what it should do (and what you're looking for in an antiperspirant). The next day that I tried it, while singing along to what I assume would be the Artic Monkeys, I accidentally sprayed my neck first. I told you it would make sense later. The lesson that you've learned here it to check the nozzle and back sure it's pointed in the right direction. On the bright side, I guess, my neck was protected with this light cucumber scent. The aerosol like scent wafted in the air and while I ran out of the bathroom to avoid the headache, I can say that it does it still does what it needs to do.
So now that you've read my journey with the aerosol antiperspirant, I'd recommend it to those that are looking for an antiperspirant of that type. Although I'd say the Dove stick and gel antiperspirant would likely be on par, if not better. As for me, I'm switching back to my deodorants merely because they were serving me well in the first place. Nonetheless, it is still good to have especially for heavy duty activities like exercising.
