Vanicream Anti-Perspirant Deodorant for Sensitive Skin - 2.25 oz - Clinical-Strength Deodorant with 24-Hour Protection - Unscented

I have very sensitive skin and struggle with most deodorants causing itching, redness, or breakouts. Vanicream Anti-Perspirant Deodorant for Sensitive Skin (2.25 oz) has been a total game-changer for me. First, it truly lives up to being unscented. There’s no masking fragrance and no weird chemical smell. If you’re sensitive to scents or just prefer fragrance-free products, this is perfect. Most importantly, it actually works. I get reliable 24-hour protection, even on busy or stressful days. It keeps sweat under control without feeling heavy or sticky. The formula goes on smoothly, dries fairly quickly, and doesn’t leave noticeable residue on my clothes. What really sets this apart is that it’s gentle. No burning after shaving, no rash, and no irritation — which I’ve experienced with so many “clinical strength” products in the past. It’s effective without being harsh. If you have sensitive skin and need a strong but gentle antiperspirant, I highly recommend giving this one a try. I’ll definitely be repurchasing!

I picked up the Vanicream Anti-Perspirant Deodorant for Sensitive Skin because I’m pretty picky about what I put on my skin, especially around my underarms. This one has been a great find. The first thing I noticed is how gentle it feels. It doesn’t burn or irritate, even after shaving, which is something a lot of other deodorants fail at. If you have sensitive skin, this is a huge win. It doesn’t leave a heavy or sticky residue, and it goes on smooth without leaving white marks — which always matters when I’m throwing on a shirt in the morning. In terms of performance, it really does keep me fresh throughout the day. I’ve worn it on warmer days and through workouts, and it holds up well without needing halfway touch-ups. It’s not super overpowering scent-wise — more subtle and clean than loud — which I like. It’s exactly what I’m looking for in an everyday deodorant. If I were to note one small thing, it’s that the scent is very mild. But that’s honestly a plus for me because I don’t like overwhelming fragrances. Overall, this has become my go-to sensitive skin deodorant. It’s effective, gentle, and comfortable to wear all day. I’d definitely buy it again.

All of a sudden about two years ago I started turning up allergic to every anti-perspirant I tried, starting with the one I'd used for years without issue. I finally landed on Lume' for the deodorant and that actually worked best for me, but could not use their anti-perspirant products, just their deodorant, and constantly had wet pits that would still start smelling towards the end of the day. After speaking to a dermatologist, she recommended this Vanicream Anti-Perspirant Deodorant for Sensitive Skin. I checked several stores before finding it on Amazon. The first time I used it, it did burn a little and cause a small rash. I think my skin was still agitated from the last shave. It was a little dry/rough going on the first time, but now that first layer is off the product, it does go on smoothly without pulling at the skin. It's been almost a week, and I've had dry underarms no matter what I'm wearing since after the first application (which was in the morning). Use it at night after washing, and it works perfect! I did also change my shave cream to something more high quality, started moisturizing the skin there, and changed my razor to a brand new one geared toward sensitive skin and all that together seems to have solved my two year problem. No breakthrough sweat, no breakthrough smell. I feel like a normal person again and can stop avoiding other people for fear my deodorant has stopped working. So far, no rash, no burning, no itching either. I think... hopefully... this is finally the product that's going to work long term for me. I'm so glad the dermatologist recommended it!

I tried the Vanicream Anti-Perspirant Deodorant for Sensitive Skin, and overall, it worked okay. I really appreciate that it's unscented and designed for sensitive skin, as many deodorants can irritate my skin, but this one didn't cause any discomfort or breakouts. It's also great for people with fragrance sensitivities. The clinical-strength formula offers 24-hour protection, and while it does keep me dry for a decent amount of time, I didn’t feel like it was as strong as some other brands I've tried. It works, but I did find myself needing to reapply after a long, active day, especially in hotter weather. If you have sensitive skin and need a gentle, effective anti-perspirant, it’s worth trying. But for someone like me who needs a bit more sweat control or long-lasting protection, it may not be quite as effective as some others.

This deodorant is a game changer, and I absolutely love it!! I have been struggling with eczema on my armpits for quite some time. I've tried all type of deodorants, from sensitive skin & fragrance-free, to aluminum-free. None of them helped to address my eczema, except for Vanicream. After using this deodorant, I no longer have the itching and irritation under my armpits, and the dark spots from the eczema are beginning to fade. It has a very neutral fragrance, and your underarms do not stink. I will be using this from now on. I, without hesitancy, recommend it for anyone with irritation under their arms.

I have contact dermatitis that flares up whenever and wherever and recently I have been getting bad rashes under my arm. I would use the ordinary toner as a deodorant but after getting this rash I wasn’t able to so I switched back to clinical strength deodorant because the heat in NY recently is bad. I used degree and secret clinical strength and the burning of it was horrible. Did some research and chat gpt recommended this to me which I was skeptical at first because it has no scent but it works so well. Since using it my rash is slowly going away, it does in fact help with odor and does not burn going on at all. Would definitely be getting the rest of my life, please never stop carrying this!!! The only con I can think of is at the end of the day when trying to bathe it leaves a weird film under my arm which is hard to take off with regular rag and soap. I need to use facial product and a silicone face scrub to scrub the day’s deodorant off to then reapply a fresh new coat before bed.

Ordered two of these deodorants. Overall I think the deodorant itself was good. Doesn’t cause skin irritation and does a good job with preventing smells and sweating. However, just a warning to purchasers to double check it hasn’t already been opened and used. 1 out of the 2 was previously opened missing the safety seal and very obviously had been used at least once.

Pros: 1) Hasn't made me break out (yay!) 2) basically has no scent 3) does mask/minimize odor 4) Performs MUCH better than most natural/aluminum free deoderants I've tried (including Schmidt, Lume, Native, Hello, and the Dove 0% aluminum varieties) 5) Comparable to other gel deoderants Cons: 1) like most gel deoderants, it is wet so you have to allow a few minutes for it to air dry or it will give you pit stains. 2) if you close the cap and push it down all the way, it creates suction and pulls out extra product**Edit--resolved thanks to packaging redesign in 2024 3) I went through a tube of this fairly quickly because I had to reapply at least once a day. 4) Compared with the Secret Outlast gel deoderant it does not last as long--but if you're looking for aluminum-free, this is a better option. 5) Pricey compared with other options ______________ Edited: as of 2025, the deoderant container has been redesigned, and I could kiss the person who redesigned it! The cap no longer creates suction that results in large amounts of product squirting out, so you can now control how much product comes out of the tube. I was considering leaving this deoderant behind because of the waste, but with the package redesign I changed my mind.
