For years, I focused on trying and reviewing Korean skincare - lotions, cleansers, sunscreens and so on. I still love all of that, but I also want to expand my horizons. I’ve been dabbling in makeup, haircare, nail items and now even antiperspirants. And I’ve been trying some Chinese brands as well.
WATERCOME is a cbeauty brand that makes three different deodorant formats - a roll on, balm, and spray. I chose a roll on in Orange and a balm in White Tea. All are available on YesStyle (reward code KBHOBBIT). The balm doubles as a fragrance stick, and - spoiler alert - that might be its only good use.
Both formulas promise 48 hour odor protection; the balm also advertises a brightening effect. I always say don’t let your armpits shine brighter than your spirit (kidding, I say that about dishes), but it could be a selling point for some.
How to use
Apply to underarms
My impressions
Let’s start with the good. I love the way the White Tea balm smells. I think that’s it for the pros.
Now the cons:
Hard to apply - the balm is very small in diameter and not melty enough to spread comfortably; the roller is tiny as well and doesn’t dispense a lot of liquid with each roll
The Orange scent isn’t my cup of tea; it doesn’t smell like oranges to me
Scent preferences are very individual, but the difficulty of application is hard to get past. It’s a deal breaker for me. I am quite tall for a North American female, but I don’t think my armpits are abnormally large... I suppose the small size could be a pro for portability, but I would rather have a slightly larger application area than the whole item be the size of a lipstick.
I will not repurchase these. If the brand ever releases the balms in a more traditional / wider size, I would get the White Tea again.
