Dove Ultimate Repair Dark Marks Corrector Deodorant

Bought for: Sale at P199 (BOGO)

Bought from: Dove Official Store

A lot of beauty bloggers/vloggers are talking about this newest variant of Dove deodorant so who am I to turn a blind eye? I remember one of the vloggers I follow claimed that this product did lighten her underarms in just a week! A WEEK! That does sounds too good to be true but since I am me–who'd rather believe than doubt, I eventually bought myself a couple when it was on a BOGO deal last February. I already consumed both containers and so here's my thoughts whether or not it's worth purchasing.

CLAIMS

Get more out of your whitening deo with Dove Ultimate Repair. With 1/4 moisurizing cream and Vitamin B3, it not only corrects dark marks, but also repairs underarm skin damage to visibly restore smooth, even-toned underarms.

PACKAGING

Dove Ultimate Repair Dark Marks Corrector Deodorant comes in three types of containers: roll-on, antiperspirant stick and aerosol spray. I prefer the aerosol type because it's more convenient to use as you just have to spray and the product will dry within seconds. No stickiness, no uncomfortable feeling. I appreciate that it has all necessary information including claims, directions, caution, ingredients and expiry date. The combination of pink and white shades looks great too.

What I like about it is that the product itself smells so nice. It has floral notes and it makes me stay fresh all day. It's not one of those commercial deodorants that turns foul at the end of the day or right after you sweat. Perspiration is something that's hard to combat when you are living in a country with extreme heat and humidity so I don't really expect it would keep my pits wetness-free all day. At least, it's able to keep perspiration at bay.

I also like that it feels moisturizing, thanks to the notable 1/4 moisturizing cream so your skin won't flake. I would suggest you be careful with how much you spray on because it has the tendency to stain shirts.

My skin feels softer and smoother after using Dove Ultimate Repair Dark Marks Corrector Deodorant for more than two months. My skin reacts well with Vitamin B3 or Niacinamide so I think that's why. Chicken skins are still significant but thanks to this, they seemed blurred out a bit. Skin's texture has improved but I don't think this product is able make it lighter than usual. I may have to use it for a longer period to see much difference and I think I will. Yes, I'm planning to repurchase.

Our skin reacts differently to products so I don't think vloggers who swear by this are fraud. I'm happy it works faster to them than it did to mine but given the fact that it's able to improve the skin's overall texture, that's enough reason for me to repurchase. I've never trusted any other commercial deodorants anyway other than Dove.

Let me know what your thoughts are and if you have anything to say or recommend! I'd love to hear something from you! Enjoy the holidays!

One of actress Glaiza de Castro’s recent discoveries is that the blood of a Katipunero runs in her veins.

“One of my ancestors from my father’s side was part of the Katipunan but more on the music and arts side,” she gleefully shares during a shoot as the brand ambassador for EB Advance, the premium line of the country’s leading cosmetics brand Ever Bilena. “When I found out about it, everything suddenly clicked. I like exploring, not only in my roles and my travels, but also with my hair and makeup. I like seeing different sides of me.”

Not surprisingly, Glaiza was especially chosen to be the brand’s newest endorser because of her fiery personality. “She speaks her mind. She takes on very challenging roles. She’s for women’s rights. And with the brand being more vocal about this direction, we wanted someone who is an embodiment of that,” shares EB Advance brand manager Creole David.

Glaiza admits her desire to standout in the entertainment industry has earned both praise and criticism from the public. “People sometimes misinterpret me, especially since I’m not good at masking my emotions. But I’ve been in this industry more than half of my life and I’ve learned to ignore criticisms that won’t help me grow as a person.”

What really matters for her is to encourage women to be more fearless in expressing their individuality. “It takes a lot of guts, the right principle and mindset para sabihin mo sa sarili mo na, ‘ah bahala kayo gagawin ko ‘to kasi alam ko eto yung tama.’ Those are the women that I really admire.”

A powerful viewpoint that fits perfectly with the message of EB Advance’s newest digital campaign featuring Glaiza (seen here). In the video, a narrator gives “lady lessons,” enumerating each: “One: Sit properly. Two: Be dainty. Three: Do as you’re told. Four: be modest about your looks. Five: Express yourself but not too much.” Meanwhile, a montage of Glaiza can be seen defying each lesson. The video ends with, “What makes a lady? Absolutely anything.”

The video also featured EB Advance products such as EB Advance Lip Define Matte Matic Lipstick, EB Advance Uncover 2 Palette, EB Advance Lash Define, EB Advance Glow Out Highlighter, and EB Advance LTD Liquid Lipstick, which were used to highlight the actress' striking features.

As Glaiza, a modern Filipina, explores more makeup product choices, the campaign gives a sneak peak of new products to be anticipated from EB Advance: EB Advance Eyeconic Eyeshadow, a six-pan eyeshadow palette designed to create multiple day to night looks; and EB Advance BB Stick Foundation, a medium, buildable to full, coverage stick base with a matte finish.

With the help of EB Advance, Glaiza believes that women are slowly learning to set their own rules and are re-defining how to be a modern-day woman.
