Yep, that's a mouthful. You may know the regular micellar water from Bioderma, which partly made micellar waters famous around the world, but there is another version made especially for redness-prone and rosacea-prone skins.

I have tried a lot of deodorant but they never quite satisfy me. Recently I watched a video from Sharla (her Youtube Channel, I can't find the video, sorry) who recommended this particular deodorant on Iherb. Due to her video it had been out of stock for a while but I have finally been able to order it.

Packaging
Smaller than what I thought, it contains 57.7 grams of product. Whether this is too little or enough will depend on how fast I use it. The glass packaging looks sleek I think it is pretty. It came with a spatula but the spatula was inside the jar, which is weird, I had never seen that. But because the product is hard the spatula stayed on top. Unfortunately the lid came broken because the box was huge just for this product and a lip balm so they they were loose during the travel. You can see it a little on the left side of the lid on the photo.

Ingredients
"Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Maranta Arundinacea (Arrowroot) powder, Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Powder), Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), natural fragrances".
It is also important to notice that this deodorant is certified Vegan & Cruelty-free. It is free from aluminium, propylene glycol, parabens and sulphates.

Claims & How to use it
This natural formula effectively neutralizes underarm odor and absorbs wetness. You're supposed to take a dab, warm it up with your finger and just apply it on your underarm area.

First impressions

Smells mainly like rose, the vanilla is quite faint, overpowered by the other scent. I used to think rose scent was horrible but now I kinda like it. The balm is really hard, a mix between beeswax and coconut oil. Then you take "a dab" on the tip of your fingers and warm it up. I personally had no idea what a dab was so I started small. I'd say I take the equivalent of 1 or 2 green peas for both armpits. It feels really powdery on the fingers I was not expecting that, it's quite funny actually.


On the photos it looks quite white, but now that I look at it, it looks quite grayish. I don't know if the photos is mistaking or if the product changed color... I am tending towards the second explanation.

Edit: Yep, the product is definitely changing color, becoming a shade of pinkish grey. But it doesn't affect its efficiency. 

Did I like it ?
In terms of humidity it did not absorb everything I could feel at the end of the day that it felt moist (ew, sorry), like a regular deodorant. However in terms of odors it is quite magical. With just the smallest amount it neutralized every odor. And it's not even that it smelled so strong I could not smell bad odors, like a lot of deodorants. No, instead it smelled nothing at the end of the day. I'd say this last for 24 hours, even longer if you do nothing physical. I am currently working in tea fields for an internship, under the hot and humid weather of south Japan, and it still holds on pretty well, I am thoroughly impressed.

But just because I liked it does not mean I will stop using others deodorants because when I'm traveling it is not very practical to have to wash your hands after. The glass package is not very travel friendly, and the top lid broke too. The stick version was always sold out when I ordered this one, and I did not want to wait any longer. However now that I've tried it, I will probably wait for the stick version to be back in stock as my main drawback with this product is that I have to wash my hands after. But in terms of the effectiveness, I am amazed!

Note : 4.5/5, just because of the packaging. I think I will buy it again in a bar format, maybe the same scent or maybe not. There is also a Bergamot + Lime which I am interested in.

I found it at Iherb : https://www.iherb.com/pr/schmidt-s-natural-deodorant-deodorant-rose-vanilla-2-oz-56-7-g/70531.

I was running out of my current cleanser (the Nature Republic Green Tea Deep Cleanser) and I did not have the time to order a new one so instead I went to my local supermarket trying to find one that would not be over PH 7. Since low PH cleanser tend to foam less they often come in self foaming bottle, so when I saw this Nivea cleanser made for sensitive skin, I thought I might as well try it out. If I remember well it was under 6€ which is pretty cheap.

Packaging
I think it was my first self foaming cleanser. I find it quite practical and super fast. I always use my hands or a foaming net to foam my usual foaming cleanser, but this is so much faster. (But less fun?)

First impressions
As I said, when you're in a rush, or you just want to sleep ASAP, this is pretty practical. The scent is pretty herbal but nothing too strong I think. I don't like herbal scent, but since it was quite light I did not mind. I was looking for a very gentle cleanser and I was not disappointed. It was very gentle, my face did not felt tight after slightly patting my skin dry. I used two pumps every morning and night. Now when I used the foam my impressions were not that it is was "creamy" even less "rich" foam.The foam isn't super thick, I dissolves quite easily. This is the main let down to this cleanser.

Did I like It?
I bought it because I was looking for a low PH cleanser. So I looked at reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty thread, the savior. There is a list of cleanser with their PH, though since the measures are personal, they are not exact. It scored a 6.5 PH with my own PH strips, which I'd say a very acceptable, though it is close to my personal limit. As I said the foam wasn't exceptional but this was expected since the foaming agents, AKA surfactants (often Sodium Laureth sulfate) often raise the PH, so here they avoided it copletely.

Note: 4/5 I had no problem finishing it but the foam disappears too quickly, the bottle ended quite quickly and the smell is not the best for me. This is not a bad pick, just not for me.

Would I repurchase? Probably not, but I liked the self foaming part.

I was looking for a cost-effective serum, I was not disappointed.
