I recently bought the Chemist at Play roll‑on after seeing it recommended everywhere for under‑arm odour and pigmentation. For those who use it regularly, does it really improve pigmentation? Is it worth buying again? So far it's been a good experience for me because I'm sweating a lot less.

I have hidradenitis suppurativa in my under‑arms, so any sweat makes me smell badly. This product works well for me - no odour issues and it doesn't irritate my skin. Hope that helps!
It works for odour, yes! But for pigmentation I'm not sure - regular use irritates my skin, so I have to use it on alternate days or with a moisturizer.
I've used roll‑ons exclusively for years and tried this because of the hype. It's a terrible product - it does nothing for odour control. I applied it after showering, and 12‑14 hours later (the next morning) I could smell my sweat mixed with the roll‑on scent. I never had that with Rexona, Dove or Nivea. I still have more than half the bottle in my cupboard because it didn't work for me. I switched back to Rexona and I don't smell sweaty even before my next shower.
This is my go‑to. It's excellent at odour control and has reduced my under‑arm darkness a lot. I especially like the Aqua variant.
If your armpits smell, try a benzoyl peroxide soap such as Acne Star or Perobar and wash them every night. Shave the area regardless of gender - hair traps sweat, especially in summer. You can also apply a glycolic‑acid toner there at night.
No! It's a terrible product. It smells very chemical and does nothing for body odour either.
To be frank, it makes me sweat when I normally wouldn't.
Yes, I love this roll‑on - it works like a charm and doesn't burn the skin.
Odour control - yes, irritation control - yes, pigmentation control - no for me (I have no discoloration), sweat control - no.
P.S. I have to trim my armpit hair every three weeks or it doesn't work on dense hair.
It's an average product; I'm currently using alum and that works much better.
