Hello everyone!
Deodorant is a crucial part of my daily routine. I used to rely on spray deodorants as a teenager, but now I prefer stick deodorants. I've been using Vichy stick deodorant for the past two to three years, and while it's a bit pricey, it lasts me for about a month and a half.
When I discovered Openface's skincare products, including an exfoliating gel for the shower, I decided to give their acid deodorant a try.
I'm new to acid deodorants, so I was curious to see if this one lives up to its claims.
Quick rundown:
Name: Acid Deodorant-Antiperspirant with AHA AcidsManufacturer: Techlab-K LLCBrand: OpenfaceCountry of origin: RussiaVolume: 50mlPrice: 450~700 RUB, depending on sales and storesWhere to buy: marketplacesThe deodorant arrived in a cardboard box, well-packaged and without any damage. The deodorant itself came wrapped in a protective coating, which is a nice touch for the first time you open it.
The design is simple and straightforward, sticking to the brand's overall aesthetic. I was impressed by the sleek, standard white bottle with a twist-off cap. The cap takes up about half the height of the entire bottle.
The main info is right on the deodorant bottle - a brief rundown of the product's benefits, how to use it, storage conditions, and the manufacturer's details.
What caught my eye was the pH level of the deodorant, which is 3.8. Honestly, I've never seen this detail on a deodorant before, but I think it's a nice touch given the product's acidic nature.
The ingredients and expiration date are listed at the bottom of the bottle.
The standard-sized roller ball is a breeze to use - it glides smoothly, doesn't get stuck, and feels really comfortable in my hand.
Yes, stick deodorants do take some time to dry on the skin. My routine is to wash my hair in the morning, then start drying it. Right before I start drying my hair with a blow dryer, I apply the deodorant to my underarms, and then I continue drying my hair. It takes around 5-7 minutes for the deodorant to dry, which is just enough time for me to put on a shirt or a sweater afterwards.
During use:
I've noticed that wearing black clothes increases the chances of leaving deodorant stains on my clothes. I have a lot of black clothes in my wardrobe, so I have to be extra cautious when getting dressed, or I'll have to clean white streaks off my black clothes. Luckily, the stains come off easily with a bit of rubbing.
I really like the Openface deodorant; it's gentle on my skin and effectively eliminates body odor, even when I apply it in the morning, not just after a shower, like the manufacturer recommends.
I'm so glad I found a good product that helps me fight sweat smells - I feel comfortable all day long with it. Buying this acidic deodorant has totally paid off for me!
The price of the deodorant isn't consistent, and it depends on promotions and stores. The first bottle I bought on Ozon cost me around 700 rubles. The last time I bought a new bottle, it was less than 500 rubles, and that price is completely fine by me!
I'd say the deodorant usually lasts me about 1.5 months with daily use.
So, here are my main takeaways:
It's a working product that protects against sweat all day long,The price is decent for its quality,The compact format and small packaging make it easy to take with you,The scent of the deodorant's fragrance is pretty neutral and doesn't linger throughout the day, so it doesn't overpower your perfume or body wash.As for the downsides:
Not ideal compositionLeaves white marks on black clothingQuick consumption due to its liquid consistencyWhen applying at night, I can still smell the fragrance on my skin.Would I recommend Openface's Deodorant-Antiperspirant with AHA acids to a purchase?
I'd definitely recommend it.
Would I buy it again?
Yeah, I'm hooked on this deodorant. It's become my go-to for tackling sweat odors, so despite its flaws, I'm happy to repurchase it. I've already bought three bottles, and I'm still using it regularly. For now, I'm good with this deodorant – it checks all my boxes.
Happy shopping to all! Thanks for reading!
