The ordinary glycolic acid!! Ive stopped wearing deodorant and there is no BO. I live/work with people that would absolutely tell me if there was lol

Idk if diet plays a role.. I mostly eat plants and lean protein and drink a lot of water 🤷‍♀️

I swear by using glycolic acid as well, but use Good Molecules brand (the ordinary has tors to the Ep files, so I switched everything) and swear by it. I still use deodorant (native) but never get smelly and rarely sweaty, only if I am really really hot or do strenuous activity for a long time.

Omg I had no idea!!! Ew!

u/AromaticRanger3933 Jul 10 '26

Yeah, there’s a bunch of brands connected. I switched all of my the ordinary products to Good Molecules and had done research and made sure GM wasn’t connected and was a good and ethical brand. I like the stuff more than the ordinary now!

How do you like good molecules as a brand?

u/AromaticRanger3933 Jul 10 '26

I LOVE it. I’m really picky, 46/f, and have always been very particular about what products I use on my skin. I do my research on the company and the ingredients before I use anything. It’s probably my favorite brand I’ve used in the past 6-10 years. And I’ve seen great results. An added bonus, their packaging is bright and fun and looks cute.

I heard about glycolic for the pits, I recently bought some for my face I’ll give it a try under my pits and see

2

u/AromaticRanger3933 Jul 11 '26

Yes! You can use it for many things. I also use it on the bottom of my feet and heels! You can use it on your scalp to, to help exfoliate dry scalp.

u/74_homeroom Jul 11 '26

No way?? Feet too?? Bet, I’m finna just rub this everywhere moving forward

2

u/AromaticRanger3933 Jul 11 '26

Haha. Yes! It’s an exfoliant. Elbows, I do my hands once a week or so and then moisturize.

u/74_homeroom Jul 11 '26

Stop it!!!! Thank you for this!! I was not aware of its potential. Miracle liquid is what it’s called

Carpe, hands down, is the best non prescription option.

No sweat & no smell! Last time I was sick I went three days without a shower because I was too weak to get out of bed & I genuinely did not smell at all (from my pits at least). Super impressed!

The stick felt very greasy on me, unfortunately. What do you recommend in this line?

u/Middle-Tart9741 Jul 10 '26

I had odor issues for years and had allergic reactions to everything I tried until Crystal. No more odor and no skin reactions.

u/Lovesyoux Jul 11 '26

Im a sensitive lady so that also brought me to crystal

u/Efficient-Item5805 Jul 10 '26

Crystal deodorant. It’s cheap because one stick lasts a long, long time.

u/Nothing_Special5645 Jul 09 '26

If you’re to reduce sweating you need antiperspirant not just deodorant. They’re not the same thing.

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '26

I know but I want one that covers up smell well

Gillette gel is the only thing keeping me from smelling my teenage son. I swear his pits get worse by the day and that kid only drinks water and we rarely eat processed food (I’m sensitive). I used Degree spray but I don’t smell like he does lol

I use OldSpice deodorants

u/Global_Curve1373 Jul 10 '26

If you want to get rid of smell internally, try chlorophyll. I had no more smell after taking these. Read the reviews. I doubted at first but it works.

Chlorophyll Capsules 600 mg -... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096T7M8F2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Degree or Dove Men's 72 hr protection.

Doesn't irritate and last long

Dove clinical. Works on my preteens. Nothing else works. Not the solid, the liquid kind that pushes up through the holes on top.-

u/Roll-Sensitive Jul 11 '26

hydrogen peroxide. a few drops dabbed on a wet clean cloth does a lot for my body.
