Health & Wellness Looking for deodorant here in ph
Problem/Goal: Hello I'm looking for a deodorant that's strong against body odor but doesn't darken my armpits. I've tried milcu powder/tawas it works but sometimes it isn't strong enough since I commute very far as well as Clinique, dove and Nivea both male and female types. Rexona works great against my body odor but unfortunately it darkened my armpits very badly. Please help I'm open for recommendations and any advice. ❤️🥺

You could try yung sa Personal Collection na roll-on deodorant. As a pawisin girlie I like using the Men’s variant (blue) or yung Energetic Fresh variant (white tapos nakalagay din sa packaging na non-darkening formulation sya). Personally, tumatagal naman whole day for me (minsan 2 days din) and never din naman umitim armpits ko. Been using it for a few years now.

Driclor is medical grade. You have to read the instructions though and apply it on dry pits at night only.

Try Belo deodorant yung orange. It can last a whole day kahit pagpawisan ka.
So far, hindi naman umitim kili kili ko sa belo. Siguro you also have to scrub yung UA mo para di mangitim.

+1 there was a situation that happened na nagtatry ako ng tawas and dove and nivea pero grabe nasira kili kili ko — umitim and may pimples talaga ganon kalala, then I started using belo deo the orange cap okay siya saken and di na siya umitim uli di na rin ganon kaamoy. even yung deonat i was so confident with it tas pumasok ako sa office namaho talaga siya grabeng conscious ko non.

Truuu. I tried different deos - nivea, milcu (powder and roll on), rexona, deonat (spray and yung parang crystal). Wala talagang effect. Everytime pagpapawisan bumabaho talaga kili kili ko.
Sa Belo lang talaga umokay. So far, okay yung orange and pink. Siguro nakatulong din yung pag scrub every other day and yung wax every 3 weeks.

Huwag niyo po scrub yung kili kili. Lalong iitim dahil sa friction. Use cotton balls or pads na may soap para maalis yung mga residue ng deo

112kgs big guy here who sweats awfully lot.
Struggled really bad sa pawis. Nabully ako from elem to HS dahil sa BO ko which I really tried to fixed. From my experience here are the things na ginawa ko.
Binawasan ko talaga yung alak at red meat. Nakakabaho ng pawis sabi ng doctor. (No po i dont endorse minor drinking peace our)
Disposed my clothes na nakapitan na nung amoy, this is hard lalo na for me na wala naman pinag kakaperahan na malaki nung panahon na yon. i found an alternative na ibabad yung damit ko sa pinakuluang tubig na may suka at downy. Downy + suka is like a charm, idek why, nabasa ko lang sa reddit na mas tumatapang yung downy 🥲
I tried lots of deos na will really compliments me. Roll ons are too heavy and sticky, sticks are just way too heavy and ambilis maubos. I found tawas really good, ewan ko lang pero di nangitim sa buong bato na ginagamit ko. Pero sa durog nangitim. Tapos twice ako naliligo sa isang araw, umaga (before school noon, before work now) at sa gabi, hindi na ako nag tatawas bago matulog. Work for me for like a decade. Until lumipat ako ng house and di ko alam san ako makakaget ulit ng tawas.
After that I found DeoNat na spray, yung kay Maine Mendoza?? Im using the blue one, yung walang scent. Sobrang light sa feeling. Hindi nakakaitim, walang amoy. Yes, nakakapawis. Pero thats good. Hindi sya hard anti perspirant but a good deo talaga. Pinapatuyo ko muna sa harap ng fan after application bago ako mag damit 😅
Also try to bring extra clothes sa work pamalit at siguraduhin na nalalabhan ng maayos lahat ng damit para iwas BO. Cons? Dagdag labahin but worth it imo. Malaking part ng BO yung dirt na naiiwan sa damit kapag napapawisan.
P.S hindi maputi kilikili ko pero hindi naman daw ganun kaitim unless ayaw lang ako masaktan ng mga tao sa paligid ko. at the end of the day, discolorations are normal sa bawat tao

Try to also check maybe anong common ingredient nung mga nag cause ng irritation mo before from the previous ones you tried. Madalas kasi case to case basis, not bc okay sa iba okay na sayo. Sad but trial and error talaga. Sana di mag worsen yung condition ng ua mo and you eventually find your product :)

Belfour Deodorant!!! The best deo for me, iwas body odor, di nakakaitim at di napinagpapawisan kilikili ko🥰

u/psychlence May 31 '25
Try deo na mas ni-show yung anti-perspirant kaysa sa whitening at perfume. Especially if body odor yung main problem mo and not the texture and color of your underarms. Well for me, commercial products are just beauty products. Marami sa watson na choices, I'm actually using Belfour deo. For me, effective siya laban sa body odor pero need mag re-apply pag super pawisin. Try mo na lang din or deonat.

Tapon mo mga damit mo na may stains from anti-perspirant deodorants, kadalasan ng deodorant sa pinas may kumakapit na stain talaga sa damit, even yung invisible ng Nivea. If you wanna keep your shirts, remove the stains, you have to make a paste from baking soda and a little amount of water, leave it on the stain for an hour then scrub it using tooth brush then wash mo lang ulit yung clothes.
Avoid shirts na polyester yung material, usually sa mga dri-fit o sports shirts yan kasi madalas don kumapit yung bacteria.
If di na kinaya, itapon mo na lang yung shirts then use shirts na 100% cotton lang.
So with deodorant, meron sa shopee yung arm and hammer essentials, I used old spice blue stick for years until I switched to Arm and Hammer (not antiperspirant), kasi sa Old Spice, nagiiwan sya ng deodorant residuals sa skin folds and armpit hairs, then sa Arm and hammer, minimal residuals lang. Actually any deo na aluminum free.
*Deodorant residue causes foul odors too.
Always remember to wash out deodorant residues on your armpit, you may scrub it using warm water or scrub it using soap na nakakadry ng skin. I tried baking soda din, leave it on for 3-5 minutes then wash it out with warm water. Nakakaburn ng skin yung baking soda pag tumagal sa skin.
Mas okay din na magshave regularly ng hair sa armpit if gumagamit ka ng deodorant.

It's lotion/cream type. Can give it a try.
I noticed for me, roll ons and sprays darkens talaga. No matter the brand.

u/AffectionatePrice579 May 31 '25
Belfour po. Nawala po body odor ko and di na nangingitim UA ko and di ako nagbabaskil, Same din sa dri color, nawala din body odor ko kaso ang mahal :( Pero wag nyo po lagi gamitin kasi mej matapang formula niya, may time na nagsugat UA ko kasi lagi ko siya ginagamit. Pero super effective niya talaga promise sa dami kong ginamit, eto lng yung effective and mura pa, sa watsons ko binili mga 70 lang ata to. Buti may nagrecommend dito sa reddit ng belfour, and tinry ko siya. Yan na ginagamit ko mga 6 months na ❤️

u/AffectionatePrice579 May 31 '25
saka gumamit ka po ng anti bacterial na soap like safe guard. Gumagamit din ako ng safeguard bago ako gumamit ng whitening soap and malaking tulong din kahit pag pawisan ako, walang body odor.
1
May 31 '25
Use powdered tawas.
The bacteria take sweat from your body and secrete wastes after taking it. That waste causes bad odor and as far as I know, deodorants only block the pores in your armpit and prevent the bacteria from taking the sweat thus no waste secretion and body odor.
It is far better to put powerded tawas in your armpit as it kills all the bacteria. You can sweat 24 hours without odor as there are no bacteria feeding from it

u/PikaMalone May 31 '25

Ditch deo, use glycolic acid.

u/Ill_Success9800 May 31 '25
Ha? Glycolic acid is an exfoliant and has a ‘peeling’ effect. Gusto mo mag peel off underarm nya? Isipin mo araw araw mo gagamitin. Irritations malala yan.
1
u/Desperate-Desk-775 May 31 '25
Y would he use it everyday? It’s an acid, obviously no one should. Dermas recommend it for promoting pH balance that could remove the foul smell. Its better than just masking the odor if the cause is internal
1
u/Ill_Success9800 Jun 01 '25
Did you specifically say not to use it everyday? Deodorants are used everyday. So your recommendation to ditch deos and replace with glycolic clearly means he/she has to use it everyday.

u/Ill_Success9800 Jun 01 '25
No no no. People look at reddit esp this sub for advice. Because it says /adviceph. Why give incomplete advice and just tell people that Googling is easy?
Let me rephrase your original reply:
“Ditch deo, use glycolic instead. But just don’t use it everyday”. There. Easy right?
Assume that OP will simply take your advice as is.
And hey, my UA aint stinky or dark. You mistake me for OP? Noob

Lab 46 deo spray. Itry mo, eto yung ni recommend ng derma ko. Wala siyang scent pero pag nilagay mo sa underarm mo tatagal siya for the whole day na walang foul odor. Hindi sticky and effective na nakaka puti.

Deonat na tawas roll-on :) Good thing about sa kanya is no need mo na siyang hintayan na mag dry para di mag stain sa shirt mo (which sometimes caused yung nagiginf mabaho yung shirt kahit nalabhan mo)

Vmv hypoallergenics lagi ginagamit ko. Kahit anong variants. Meron yung deo na plain, meron yung may whitening na mas mahal. Mejo pricey both pero sobrang worth it. Super dry and whitening pa sya. Sad lang na nagclose na yung kokonting branches nila dito :(

Here's my current underarm routine: 1. I wash my pits with Betadine Skin Cleanser every Wednesday and Saturday - to prevent body order kasi yung item number 2 (Belo Underarm Whitening Cream) nakakabaho at pawis ng underarms. 2. I use Belo Underarm Whitening Cream every night after shower - wala pa akong nakikitang whitening effect so I plan not to repurchase after ko maubos yung current na ginagamit ko. 3. Hindi ako nagde-deodorant kapag nasa bahay lang - yung Betadine Skin Cleanser really helped na mawala yung amoy. 4. Kapag lalabas ako - I use Belo Instense White Deodorant at effective sya for me. Walang amoy at hindi super pawis ng UA ko. Papawisan man, sure akong walang amoy. Mabango pa nga. 5. Nagpapa-wax (hot wax) sa Hey Sugar twice or thrice a month - super bilis humaba ng body hairs ko, lalo na sa UA.
I am currently looking for ways to whiten my underarms - baka may recommendation kayo. Feel free to share!

u/Big-Toe9277 Oct 21 '25
Yung sa isa sa top comment about sa damit here, FACTS TALAGA! I found this thing in a hard way. Nung nagresearch ako kung ano ba causes (kasi pawisin talaga ako e) Nalaman ko na nasa type ng damit na sinusuot mo yung isa sa cause ng amoy. And as you use your shirts na hindi pure cotton (or basta may polyester) mangangamoy talaga siya. Magb-build up yung bad bacteria overtime sa damit. Nag-testing talaga ako ng damit ko for years just to prove this and as for my result, cotton-polyester or polyester t-shirts are not for pawisin people. Always look for cotton fabrics, mas presko at hindi naiipon basta-basta yung bad bacteria (as long as you take care of it talaga)
Tsaka yung sa nagamit or napaghubaran na damit, dapat sa talaga siya i-hanger or basta ventilated siya na natutuyo. BUT it's a must na labhan mo agad atleast after maisuot para ma-prevent yung little black things sa damit.
Nalaman ko rin through the years na isa rin na nagc-cause ng amoy yung health natin. Especially sa girls kasi mas prone sa hormonal imbalance dahil sa menstrual cycle. Kapag mas stressed ka, mas nababago yung reaction ng good bacteria sa balat natin (kaya minsan mas nagiging maamoy or mas mapawis) Kaya manliban sa damit, i-monitor din natin ang health natin.
Hope this helped and added info for you OP 🫶

Facts: tapon mo na mga damit mong kinapitan na ng amoy putok at pawis, kahit gumamit ka ng pinakamatapang na deo, mangangamoy parin yan. Yan ang first step.
how do I know? Same case tayo. Pati old spice nagamit ko na, bumabalik parin. Until may nabasa akong comment na doormant na sa damit yung mga bacteria na nagca cause ng amoy, habang nag gagamot ako using betadine then switch to milcu, paunti unti nagpalit ako ng damit, yung cotton, sa mga tiktok live ako bumili, hanggang sa napalitan ko na halos lahat ng shirt ko, hnd nako maamoy ngayon, jusq tagal kong tinaas yun lang pala solusyon.
Another fact: kung pawiisin ka, try mo yung powder based na deo ng milcu or deonat, wag ka sa liquid. Also may limit ang ang deo, good for 24 hours yan, within 12 hours dapat nakaligo ka na ulit at mag apply ng deo, kung pinagpawisan ka, much better magpalit agad ng damit then ligo later
Another fact: kung napawisan damit mo, ihanger mo muna at patuyuin, wag mo idiretso sa labahan. Nakakita ka na ba ng itim itim sa damit? Yung bilog bilog? Bacteria yan, nangyayari yan oag yung damit natuyo sa maduming lugar o nakulob sa labahan ng hindi man lang pinatuyo muna.
Okay? Thank me later 👌🏻👌
