I hate giving bad reviews, I always feel like such a meanie, especially for trial products but needs must.
As you can probably tell I am not a fan. I did enjoy the packaging, it’s sleek and black and I like that it sits upside down so you won’t have to balance it upside down to get the last of it out, and it’s cool twist lock opening mechanism.
I also like that it worked. It’s been super summery (oh how I miss winter when it gets like this), and I’ve been doing some intense exercise. I haven’t noticed any embarrassing lapses in deodorant performance though which is really the most important thing at the end of the day. It’s not the kind of deodorant you can put on in the AM one day and then shower in the PM 36 hours later and place your full trust in though, you will need to re-apply.
What turns me off about the product is a couple of petty things, but hey, it’s a tough saturated market and I can afford to be fickle – I am the consumer afterall.
Firstly the smell. Somehow the same smell that I quite enjoyed in spray form comes across a little too masculine in roll-on form. It’s quite strong and musky or a female scent and I think it would clash a little with certain body lotions or perfumes.
The other dislike, and the most unforgivable in my eyes, is that it takes a looooong time to dry. An hour later one night I still had wet armpits and had to fan them and keep my arms up so they would dry. I’ve never had this problem with a deodorant before to this extent and it was really annoying.
The product claims not to leave marks. I’ve actually never had this problem with any product so I’m not sure if it is true to it’s word there but my impression of it was that it had a really opaque look when I applied it that seemed like it would stain clothes.
I’ve actually never tried Rexona before because it’s usually the most expensive deodorant. Even though it’s only by a few cents I had it in my mind that Rexona is a premium brand and this really hasn't lived up to that sadly.
Hopefully I'm just a one off but unfortunately I wasnt 100% satisfied with the Rexona Women Diamond Dry Roll on.
Firstly the good points about this products. Whats great about this deodorant is that is small and compact so can easily fit inside a handbag or gym bag when needed on the go. It definitely does live up to its claim of no white marks or yellow stains on any of my clothes. It rolls on easily and dries quickly so thats a bonus also.
Unfortunately I did have a few downsides. I'm not a sweaty person normally however I found this product did not last the 48 hours - or even a whole day for that matter on me and required reapplying throughout the day.I usually use the rexona aerosol range and find that lasts the whole day. The deodorant has a sort of manly smell at first but then once applied and left a while there is no manly smell and it is rather soft smelling.
Personally for me I think I will stick to the rexona aerosal range however I would say give it a go as everybodys bodies react differently and its about experimenting to find what works well for you.
Tips: Keep handy for reapplying during the day
