Product Review: Belo Essentials Whitening Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Roll-On, Spray and Whitening Cream

Tuesday, April 21, 2015

     So where do I begin? Let's talk about our underarms, ua, pits, or whatever you call it. I'm sure some of you are not used to talking about your underarms most especially when you find it unsightly. My apologies for the term, but let's face the truth that when our underarms are dark, rough and bumpy, we don't want to raise it, we don't want to show it and we don't want to talk about it, right?! Let me also add that the worse things that we really don't want to experience with our underarms are the smelly sweat and dark stains caused by our antiperspirant and deodorant.

     I've experienced some of what I've mentioned above in the past. I've tried several underarm care products and only a few of them became my pits' best friend. But the products that I've tried before just do one or two things, either prevent sweat or whiten my underarms. Don't you just wish that there will be underarm care products that will do both jobs? An antiperspirant, a deodorant, a whitener, prevents darkening, minimizes pores, prevents redness after plucking and shaving, has an anti-stain formula (oh sounds so promising), and all! I think this wish just came true with Belo Essentials Whitening Anti-Perspirant and Deodorant Underarm Care products. I'm so excited to share with you my thoughts and the things why we should join Anne Curtis Smith in the fight against dark underarms.

     For this review, I'll be sharing my thoughts on #BeloBeautyDuo that I use day and night. Since I'm more of a deo spray user, I've tested Belo Essentials Whitening Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Shower Fresh variant for ten days and wow just wow!!!- I never thought that I'll be musing another underarm care product here in my blog again. The last time I made a review was years ago and yes that was my HG (holy grail) deodorant spray until I've tried this product from Belo Essentials :) I've also tried the roll-on type for two days just to see if it has the same effect like the spray. Yes, both are the same but I'm sold with the spray type variant.

What I like:
  • The spray pump bottle looks classy. The pump is easy to use, I can control the amount of product that I apply to my underarms. It doesn't get clogged too.
  • The price- it's affordable since a little goes a long way. I only needed 2 short pumps/spray for both of my underarms.
  • The scent- the shower fresh variant has a faint floral scent that is not overpowering. I veered away from scented deodorants before because it made me sweat with the unpleasant smell but with this one it's like I'm using an odorless variant.
  • The roll-on type has a light consistency and easy to apply as the roll-on glides smoothly on my underarms.
  • Safe for sensitive skin because it is and dermatologist-tested 
  • No darkening of underarms, irritation, unpleasant smell or whatsoever.
  • I noticed that it made my underarms smooth after waxing. I usually have chicken skin a day or two after a waxing procedure. 
  • Both Belo Essentials Whitening Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Spray and Roll-on keep sweat at bay. 
  • The Belo Underarm Whitening Cream has a runny/semi-thick consistency that is easy to apply.
  • The underarm whitening cream is easily absorbed upon application and gave a velvety smooth finish after application. I usually apply a pea-size of cream before bedtime.
  • Belo Essentials Underarm Whitening Cream can pass as odorless.
  • This underarm whitening cream has a multi-function. It can also be used to whiten inner thighs, elbows, knees, and areolas.
  • The #BeloBeautyDuo Belo Deo Spray and Whitening Underarm Cream maintained the color of my pits and I saw some lightening on dark areas caused by hormonal change.
  • Easily accessible.
  • Has batch, manufacturing and expiry date.

What I don't like:
  • The packaging of deo roll-on is flimsy. In my opinion, the design is not appealing.
  • I need to swipe the roll-on four times as instructed which took more time in drying than the spray type.
  • The underarm whitening cream is pricey for budget-conscious individuals.

Will I repurchase? Yes but I prefer the spray variant of this deodorant. The underarm whitening cream will be a mainstay since it can also be used in other parts of the body.

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.75/5 rating. I like the #BeloBeautyDuo- Deo Spray and Belo Underarm Whitening Cream because it's true to their claims. My underarms are very sensitive because it is prone to darkening that's why when I've found my HG (holy grail) underarm care years ago, I said to myself that I will not look or dare to try other brands. Looks like this promise will be broken by Belo Essentials Whitening Anti-Perspirant and Deodorant Underarm Care products!

     Aside from the darkening, another dilemma that I have when choosing the right underarm care products is how it will keep my pits sweat-free all day (unless I'm working out) because I perspire a lot and it's in our genes. A little movement especially this season makes my underarm sweat more than the usual. I'm happy that Belo Essentials Whitening Anti-Perspirant and Deodorant does the job in the sweat department. This deo spray trumps my all-time favorite antiperspirant and did not stain my clothes too! All in all, I highly recommend this underarm care line! 

Have you tried #BeloBeautyDuo? I'm sure you have underarm stories too, I would love to hear your thoughts about antiperspirant and deodorant plus underarm whitening creams too!

Good Times!~

  1. Hello! Had fun reading your blog. Very informative:) May i just ask what was the holy grail underarm care you had before you tried this belo UA products? I have trouble with dark UA also and i have been looking for a product that can whiten them. Unfortunately I haven't found my HG yet. Hope I could try yours maybe it'll work on me too:)

    1. Hi Sash,

      I've been using VMV Skin Saving Anti-Perspirant that I alternate with Belo UA products. Both are effective for my underarms.

    2. Hi Kath! I've been a vmv user for years because it's the only deo spray that is "hiyang" to my kilikili. I buy atleast 6bottles whenever I go home to PH but it has become so expensive, the price doubled from last year. And i checked the vmv site, the product was discontinued. So my dilemma of searching yet again another deo that my pihikan na ua will get hiyang to has begun...grudgingly! So i started with Nivea deo spray and instantly all the hard work (and hard earned money) that i spent with the vmv deo to atleast make my kilikili look a little bit better is all gone! Hello darkness & chicken skin - we meet again! Then by mistake i bought Rexona deo spray, it felt icky and my kilikili smells bad after just a few hours. So last night while grocery shopping i had a "hallelujah" moment when i saw Belo ua products in kabayan store and decided to search for reviews first before purchasing one. Spent about 5mins standing in front of the products while reading which eventually led me to your blog. Instant connection I might say.. Lol! So I decided to try and here I am writing this very long reply to your comment. :)) I will give it a few days and probably write another comment on how it goes. I hope it also goes well with me as it did with yours. Cheers!

  2. Hi I am not a deo user since my ua does not smell and does not sweat all day.I also dont wear perfume but one day I got curious of why some people smell good and I found out that it was the deo so I tried to use a deo which is the Nivea deo. And I was so devastated because my ua darken. I stopped using but the dark part became permanent. So I hope your review can help. I hope this is useful. Just want to share. Hehe

    1. Hi,

      Thank you so much for sharing. Some underarms are not "hiyang' with scented deodorants and yes it can cause darkening. There are whitening deos in the market and I think only a few brand gives promising results.

  3. Hi! I'm not really a deo user. My armpit doesn't sweat and smells bad. I want to try Belo but I'm scared that my armpit might darken. So I really want to know if it really gave promising results?

    1. Hi,

      If you have no problems with you UA naman, I suggest you skip using na lang. Baka kasi hindi ka hiyang but this gives promising results. Yun lang, hiyangan din kasi.

    1. Hi,

      Thanks for sharing your experience though I haven't tried pa the one with orange cap, glad that it worked for you. Just continue using it if it's your holy grail now.

  5. Hello, I just wanna ask if done applying the Belo essentials antiperspirant deodorant tapos nagka sweat, mawawala ba yung effect nang deodorant at kailang mag apply ulit or di na kailangan? Sobrang pawisin kasi ako. Naghahanap po kasi ako nang deodorant para naman mabawas bawasan yung pawis nang underarm ko at mawala din yung odor. And also thank you for the review, napaka informative po nang blog niyo.

    1. Hi,

      If nag-sweat ka, you need to wash your UA first before re-applying.
