Another deodorant by Byphasse. I loved their sweet almond oil deodorant, which I have reviewed here review-byphasse-deodorant-24h-a-lhuile-damande-douce.html, but what about this one? It smelled beautifully of cream and roses, and applied just like any other roll on, meaning that it did take a moment to absorb into skin. It also kept me smelling fresh throughout the day. However, I did run into a bit of a problem with this bad boy. I was using it during the winter months and my skin overall was much drier than usual, So perhaps I should have been prepared for the armpit-skin-disaster that happened next. It triggered something I have never had to experience before, and that is, it irritated and dried out my armpit skin to the extreme after about a week of using it consistently day and night,
I was unable to move my arms without my pits hurting, and taking showers was rather painful. When I was taking my shirt off, it would snow dead skin. The skin was dry and flakey, red and raw with irritation. Not cute. At night, I had to moisturise my pits like mad and only in the morning, I was able to apply a bit of another deodorant to keep the stink at bay. It took me another two weeks to nurse my poor pits back to health. Now, let me clarify a few things. Firstly, my skin overall was much drier due to the winter weather. Secondly, my skin seems to be becoming more sensitive with age than it used to. Both of these factors might have contributed, triggered and/or exacerbated the issues I was having and you may be absolutely fine. I got the deodorant for 50% off, so at the time I thought it was a good deal and snapped it up, seeing how expensive deodorants usually are in this country (Korea in case you are wondering). I'd say: If you can test it out, or get it for cheap, do give it a try. I might have been a one off, so I suggest to check it out and make your own informed decision. Cheerio!
