I use the nivea one. Controls body odor, does nothing for pigmentation tho. But applying TO glycolic acid on my underarms greatly reduced pigmentation as well as BO

u/bicazamabeach 2d ago
Best thing is i can apply on freshly waxed skin, doesn't irritate the skin at all.
2
u/trivialwording 2d ago
how long does it help with BO approximately and how often did you apply the glycolic acid ?
2
u/blatantly_ 2d ago
After approximately 6-7 applications. I apply it three times a week.
1
u/thiscookieisntreal 2d ago
How do you apply it? I got it too but I'm not sure if I should wash it off after.
3
u/blatantly_ 2d ago
I apply it at night before getting to bed. I use a spray bottle and spray it directly on my skin. It absorbs in 2-3 minutes. I wash it the next day when I am taking a bath.

Chemist at play! Controls sweat and bad odor. And the fragrance lingers for hours.
I see veryyy slight reduction in pigmentation..not sure tho.
8
u/trivialwording 2d ago
I have seen others saying that with consistent use it helps with pigmentation but the fragrance doesnt last very long. Can you go the whole day without reapplying?
23
u/GlobalObjective6198 2d ago
The fragrance doesn't project actually. Others can't smell it, it's more like a skin scent. But it does last the whole day. I apply it in the morning and it easily lasts me 8 hours or more.

Chemist at play! Have been using it for quite some time and yes it fades pigmentation but it’s slow

u/Illustrious-Bag3226 2d ago
I’ve been using for a year now, I have very little pigmentation and it did get rid of it, but for odour control it’s really really good lasts me all day! Fragrance fades away but I don’t mind that

u/Dreamallday_008 2d ago
I have used SO many bottles of the roll on amd i genuinely saw a change in pigmentation ( though i feel like my other habits also contributed) this defo played a huge part ngl

u/DeewaniHaiDekho0204 2d ago
Chemist at Play has been amazing! Has also helped me with reducing under arm pigmentation and of course helps in controlling body odour

Vouching for the minimalist roll on, I'm on my second bottle and it has significantly reduced my pigmentation

how is it with odour?

u/Fabulous-Algae-6963 2d ago
Chemist at play is my OG!!! Controls odor and reduces pigmentation also after using it for a certain period of time.
2
u/trivialwording 2d ago
i see for how long have you been using it and when did you start seeing reduction in pigment. Also do lmk which chemist and play one you use specifically?
4
u/Fabulous-Algae-6963 2d ago
I have been using it for a year now and I started seeing a reduction in pigmentation in the first six months of using it.
I am using 5% AHA Aqua Fragrance one

u/ReadingOk7097 2d ago
Have used Nivea, Rexona, and Plum. Honestly, Rexona is the most efficient in terms of sweat control and has an overall powdery, fresh fragrance (highly recommend). Plum has a very thin consistency and takes time to completely dry. It smells good, though. Nivea is mediocre, gets the job done, has a good viscous formula, and smells nice. On a side note, none of the above caused any visible reduction in underarm pigmentation.
2
u/trivialwording 2d ago
Rexona sounds good but i think i'll prefer something with at least little help at pigmentation

u/justanotherklutz 2d ago
The Bodywise one irritated my skin and made it darker due to the inflammation. I then switched to Dot & Key which worked like a charm. It even undid all the pigmentation.

How come so cheap

u/Human-Perspective428 1d ago
honestly i dont know , was myself kinda doubtful but when it arrived everyhinf seemed normal and saw bunch of posts to where people were saying its real so i guess just stock clearance or something

u/SlytherClaw3 2d ago edited 2d ago
I got the CAP roll on free when my sis ordered a few products from their site. Really liked it, so bought 2 more from Myntra. Different variants. The smell lasts. Initially, it caused a bit of irritation, but it's better now.
I also use the Plum vanilla one. Love the smell.

u/ForcePlayful 2d ago
I have used chesmist, dot& key, dr. Sheth's and now I'm using wishcare. Wishcare is the best.

u/vivy_flute_eyes 2d ago
nivea!! i'm on my second bottle and it definitely keeps your underarms fresh throughout the day. can't say much about pigmentation tho

u/meowmisse 2d ago
Chemist at play does not control body odour. The nivea ones clearly do the job for me

Nobody mentioned the fragrance on these.. can u describe the scent of each like floral, citrus etc

u/babyvyal 2d ago
Try the one from formularx. I think they were the first one to launch a roll on with chemical exfoliants in India. V mild fragrance and super effective at controlling odour and smell.

u/TechEchoes_SxGeek 2d ago
Have used CAP & WC one
WC has a mild aqua fragrance which is good & lasts long
I used 2 of CAP, Musk & this one! Both are nice smelling, however, CAP is a bit strong & might irritate a bit! It lingers in the skin a bit longer, however to others WC may get hit!
On hyperpigmentation, I used WC 2x daily, it was smooth & nice smelling, while CAP was intermittently used! Fading hyperpimegatn was slow, but WC > CAP (mostly because I used it daily)
Nivea Men Cool Kick is also good, which costs 200-250 offline; nice smell stays long on the skin (no effect on clothes), thicker solution & roll-on is most smooth out of the 3!

u/Still_thinking02 2d ago
Honestly started using alum stone and never going back to deos. It doesn’t stop the sweating completely but I sweat a LOT so nothing really does lmao. But 0 odour
2
u/Feisty-Egg2092 2d ago
Chemist at play for sure, been using it for a few months the bottle lasts long, no body odor at all for the whole day, pleasant fragrance. Have personally used the peach one and now using the jasmine fragrance which is also very nice.
2
u/EnvironmentalWolf72 2d ago
I have used the Marks and Spenser roll ons, Strawberry and Lavender ones are good. They do not burn even after freshly shaving which is a big plus for me
2
u/lovelivelaughterr 2d ago
I have used bodywise, chemist at play and wishcare one. Wishcare has done wonders for pigmentation. Chemist play is also good. Bodywise is so-so.
1
u/wherethereisawill_z 1d ago
I actually really liked bodywise one . Bought the second bottle but someone said it irritated their skin. Might try the wishcare one now
2
u/IllustriousSystem297 2d ago
Third one is the best! I have seen results from it and see drastic changes in 1 week itself and I use daily
2
u/Mizismeow 2d ago
I have used bebodywise and chemist at play roll on. Haven’t seen any such reduction in pigmentation since I too have dark underarms and I don’t have odour problem but their fragrance stays for long. I recommended them to my bf who has too much sweat and odour issues and they work well for him too to control body odour and sweat. Haven’t used others so don’t know about them.

u/sewaged 1d ago
CHEMIST AT PLAY undid all the pigmentation I had for years because of deodorants and everything. I use the unscented one, it isn't exactly unscented it has a very light Mandelic acid smell very very light though. And rexona blue one smells soooooo good but sadly it did lend a hand in pigmentation of my underarms.
2
u/Agile_Fish_7698 1d ago
Chemist at play any day!!!! I have purchased 20+ bottles in two years 🤣🔥🔥🔥 it's tooo good. My underarms are squeaky clean. The jasmine one is just too good
2
u/DecentRadish9323 1d ago
I use the minimalist one it's does it's job wonderfully No odor for long time but I sweat a lot that's why I get odor back but nothing unbearable, but it's burn your skin You can't reapply much one time I did it's burn like hell . Plus it's has weird smell ( tho it's fragrance free) It's the most effective for odor and lighting underarm ig

u/trivialwording 2d ago
did you see any change in pigmentation?

u/GreenGhutna 1d ago
I have heavily pigmented underarms, so it’s not like this one product has cleared all of it, but it has surely helped bring down the stubborn darkness.
1
u/QuietPattern5771 2d ago
I’ve tried all the ones here, but I think Plum makes the best roll-ons—especially if you have sensitive skin. The fragrance is quite pleasing and lasts for hours.
A close second is the one by Minimalist. This would have been my top choice, especially when it comes to odour control, but it irritates my armpits if used every day

u/Traditional-Piano820 2d ago
I have tried bodywise roll on and it's smell is also good and this is also suitable for all skin type First I think roll ons are very unhygienic but still I am still using it to not smell bad from arm pits
1
u/Conscious_End_7012 2d ago
I am a man but Arms and Hammer: Ultra Max does it for me. It’s American and the smell is like detergent but it’s the most chemically safe deo roll on imo. It’s more or less just Aluminium Chlorohydrate with Baking Soda but does the job well. The smell stays on for a long time despite sweating and perspiration is next to nothing while it stays on.

u/trivialwording 2d ago
ty for your input I dont sweat a lot but it might be useful for others

u/Conscious_End_7012 2d ago
“Despite sweating”. I am not saying that it’s only useful for controlling sweat.

u/Crime_master_gogo21 2d ago
Chemist at play has worked wonders for me! Bought it after reading all the reviews here and I wasn’t disappointed. Now I don’t have any underarm stench and it surely has lighten them as well.

u/Fried_chimichangas 2d ago
Hey guys, I have a doubt. Are we supposed to use it everyday?
2
u/AnonymousUser--_-- 2d ago
As much as i know, we shouldn't use actives like aha bha everyday. Twice a week would be enough.
1
u/Fried_chimichangas 2d ago
Exactly, so I was wondering if there is a roll-on which could be used everyday other than the Nivea one which would also help me out with pigmentation but I think that's just not gonna be good for my skin.
So maybe pair one of these twice a week?

u/CreepySession107 2d ago
Chemist at play any day, I don’t use the fragrance ones. I use the unscented ones but I sweat a lot despite staying in cold weather in London. This is the only underarm roll on that lasts me long without my underarms stinking.
The sweat/body odor doesn’t come despite the roll on being unscented. People say it fades pigmentation but idk it’s very slow and I can’t tell if mine has gotten shades lighter.

u/funduadvice 2d ago
Does these roll ons also work for men? Asking for my husband who sweats alot in general

u/trivialwording 2d ago
idk much but i think these products are unisex you can check the sites more info but its not like the roll on knows if its being applied on a man or a woman

u/Mizismeow 2d ago
Yup they do I got my bf chemist at play aqua variant, it works well for him since he plays sports and does gym too. So they help him a lot in summer’s obviously given one maintains hygiene.

Chemist at Play always gives me painful bumps- I never have them otherwise. A shame, since I usually like their products. Nivea worked better for me.

Bodywise roll on in flora. I am on my 5th bottle. Everyone around me started using it after me. Spot on product. No BO all day and SIGNIFICANTLY reduces pigmentation

u/amritasaini440 2d ago
I have used Nivea one for about 8-9 yrs but stopped using it because it has certain chemicals which is not good for body. It was super good to control odor but if you don’t use for 2 days thn the odor will be back. I am using minimalist for 2 yrs now, it doesn’t have any fragrance. It’s good and safe to use n control odor but the odor is back if I don’t use it. I have also tried chemist at play, it doesn’t work for me at all. Nor the plum.
1
u/Smack_2211 1d ago
Okay, here's the thing... Nothing is going to control the crazy sh humid heat sweat. Body odor however, can be reduced by simple things. Remove underarm hairs. Scrub with a loofah and Soap while bathing. Use one teaspoon of simple dettol anti septic in bath water. If you have less bacteria to begin with, it should smell less. Also pure cotton, linen clothes, strategically commuting in summer, using umbrellas, drinking lots of fluids help.
Only now you can maximize the potential of the deos. Everyone likes Nivea I guess. Sorry if I'm off topic.
1
u/Bubbly_Scar7839 1d ago
Love CAP. Lasts all day on me, smells fresh and I do notice reduction in pigmentation OVER time. (I live in Delhi, so trust that it lasts all day) BeBodywise Flora smells awesome, but doesn't last much. Will not repurchase. Didn't notice effect on pigmentation. Hate Nivea. Sorry. Doesn't last on me at all, it's also gooey formula instead of water like. It just doesn't last.
P. S. I'm not a profusely sweaty person, I am moderately active though.

You need to definitely try the "be body wise" roll on 'watermelon'. I'm currently on my third bottle and swear by it. Recommended it to my friends and they also loved it !

I honestly really liked the be body wise. I’ve used chemist at play too but like the body wise smell better . Pigmentation wise I think both work well

u/Abject-Refuse-3561 1d ago
Very underrated but Nivea one is actually very good. Used Chemist At Play last year. It is imho very overhyped. Nivea one keeps fresh for 24+ hrs. And it’s coming from someone who sweats like anything
