Unfortunately for those close to me during the warm summer months, I am a loyal user of natural deodorant. I usually keep a travel stick on me to reapply throughout the day, but I’ll admit that there are some particularly sticky days where even that doesn’t quite do the job. Enter Surface Deep’s anti-odorant pads. These cleansing pads are not only the perfect mid-day refresher, but they have nourishing active ingredients that contribute to skin health while killing smelly bacteria.

I’ve been using them daily for over a month and am impressed by how effectively they eliminate odor, as well as how they’ve reduced the dark patches I developed under my arms during my pregnancy. I’ve also noticed that they have helped to smooth out the skin in general; it’s much softer than before.

The dermatologist-developed Surface Deep pads are formulated to prevent everyday stinkiness while also gently exfoliating the skin, leaving it brighter, smoother and soothed. It’s made with glycolic acid, which can kill odor-causing bacteria without stripping the skin of its natural barrier.

They’re also infused with probiotics, witch hazel, rosemary, eucalyptus and coconut extracts along with aloe and salicylic acid to soften, hydrate, and soothe. The pads are made with biodegradable, plant-based materials, which is a huge plus for those of us concerned with consumer waste.
