Cien Men Aqua 48 h Anti-Perspirant 50 ml Review




Ingredients:

Aqua, Aluminum Chlorohydrate, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Diethylhexyl Carbonate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Methy Glucose Sesquistearate, Parfum, Perlite, Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate, Polyglyceryl-3 Caprylate, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Hydroxethylcellulose, Sodium Benzoate, Allantoin, Potassium Sorbate, Benzyl Salicylate, Cellulose Gum, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool

I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...






Thoughts:


Could dry faster after application, takes up to 10 minutes

Leaves white marks to clothes if still wet

Doesn't work for 48 hrs (but rarely any anti-perspirants do unless they are some armpit killers from pharmacy)

- Contains aluminum (I would like to not use it but sadly, after trying non-aluminum products, I'm back to square one, sweating every minute and second)



Keeps me dry(-ish) and non-smelly all day (24 h)

I can shower and put it in the evening and next morning I'm all ready to go, I don't have to add again if I'm in a hurry

Neutral, not heavy smell that disappears quite soon

Easy to apply roll-on

Haven't noticed it yellowing any armpits of clothes

Cheap, always available (at least so far has been!)

No alcohol

+ No irritation 



* Lidl is well-known for having some good products for cheap and, ladies and gentlemen, this is one of those!

I always buy multiples and have back-ups in the drawer

I and my fiancé both use these

They last maybe 2-3 months

My armpits are quite tough as I have tried all the strong anti-perspirants that I have gotten without prescription and the worst I have had was extreme itching (but no sweat, yay?), so, to me this is very gentle but effective formula

The green bottle anti-perspirant from Cien smells strong and horrible (well all those that are aimed at women), the smell doesn't even fade, so avoid that one



Price: 

About 1 € / 50 ml

Bought from: 

Lidl

Buy again? 

Yes yes, been doing that probably for two years now!

Worth the money? 

Dirt cheap for how good it is for people with perspiration problems, practically free. About the same or better than 8-10 € bottles I have bought from pharmacy (Bats, Triple Dry). TD used to be very good years ago but I think they changed the formula and it just didn't work anymore for me. Maybe someday I have to test them again if Lidl stops selling this antiperspirant.
