Thank goodness!! the answer to every woman's prayer, a deodorant that you can put on, and get dressed immediately without having lovely streaky marks down your clothes.
When I first saw this deodorant I though I had to give it a go. I don't know how many times I have put on clothes, thinking my deodorant is dry only to find it still leaves white marks.
I have tried both the spray and the stick version of this deodorant. Firstly the antipersperant spray. I think I paid £1.98 for the 250ml bottle in boots though it does come in a smaller size. I have tried both the clear aqua (blue) and the clear pure (pink) both have a pleasant smell which is not overpowering. I sprayed on the deodorant and wonderful, my underarms were not at all white. And because there is no alcohol in this deodorant either it doesn't sting if you have just shaved your armpits. The bottle also has a handy switch at the top which stops you from accidentally spraying say if you carry this around in your bag. However I did find that sometimes with the spray I would get a big splat of white powder every so often.
The stick deodorant (also sure crystal) I found to be the better of the two. Slightly cheaper (I think I paid about £1.30 for it) and I believe it lasts longer than the spray for 40ml. Again this is alcohol free so doesn't stinng when you have just shaved. Easy to use, just take off the lid and twist up the deodorant from the bottom and apply. It goes on smoothly and you would never guess you had put anything on. There is no sticky residue, it's instantly dry and it never leaves white marks.
And of course both the spray and the stick have excellent protection. And both kept me smelling fresh even in the warm weather.
I prefer the stick deodorant but if you prefer a spray I would definately recommend either. I have had few problems with white marks since and the deodorant is not too expensive
Advantages: No White Marks Disadvantages: Not a strong smell
...Name.
This review is for Sure women crystal clear pure, the Sure crystal with the "pink" writing. I have used the blue one, but find this one has a nicer smell.
Appearance and Use.
The deodrant comes in a lovly spray bottle, as with most deodrants. However, there is no lid. You may think, "what it accidently gets sprayed?" The answer to this is, with Sure's new technology accidental sprays are a thing of the past. There is a catch/switch on the ... ...white marks all down it.
Sure crystal is one of the only sprays I know that DOESNT leave white marks. It goes on clear -crystal clear! - and dries within seconds. This is great for any type of clothing, especially on tight T-shirts which usually turn white under the arm.
Smell.
Sure Crystal doesn't have a very strong smell, which can be good or bad. Sometimes deodrants have an overpowering smell which can sometimes be difficult if you are wanting ...

Advantages: No white marks on clothes/pleasent smell that lasts Disadvantages: Doesn't completely stop sweating.
...have a quick spray of Sure and get dressed immediately without getting any white marks on my clothes.
The smell of Sure is very pleasent and lasts. The smell is not overpowering at all and leaves a subtle scent that lasts for the majority of the day.
I seem to be a naturally sweaty person (not pleasent!) however Sure is one of the only deodorants that actually helps reduce the sweat patches appearing under my arms! It doesn't completely work at ... ...most of the day.
Sure doesn't leave stickiness under the arms. Many other deodorants I've tried I've felt sticky and sweaty, with Sure I don't feel any stickiness at all.
The spray comes in 2 sizes, and 2 different types (pink and blue). I've tried both the pink and blue and can't see much difference between them. I feel it's reasonably priced. One spraycan can last a while as well, so you're not having to buy a new can all the time. You can buy ...

Advantages: no white marks, stay dry all day, cheap Disadvantages: no choice of fragrance
...in a white canister with sure crystal written on the front and a blue tick underneath. I purchsed the 150ml cannister but I think it is also available in 250ml as well.
When I first used this I didn’t like the fragrance because it was completely different from what I was used to but I soon got used to it and it might appeal to some people. It is very hard to describe exactly what it smells like as the name crystal doesn't suggest anything in particular ... ...are other deodrants in the Sure range including creams, roll-ons, sticks and deo-wipes, however if you use too much of some of these products that are not sure crystal they may leave white marks.
Overall I would recommend this product and will continue to use products from the Sure range as I have not found a better alternative. ...

Advantages: No white marks on dark clothes! Disadvantages: None
...lying.
I bought my Sure Crystal for £2.99 in boots for a 250ml size, this one is the spray can so that it goes on evenly and doesn’t take that long to dry like the roll on does, and it doesn’t burn if you’ve just shaved that arm pits! The gimmick that makes it work is this little thing called Clearex, the actual anti-perspirant is derma tested and PH balanced and is alcohol free.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~THE CLAIM~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The claim on the can is ... ...this and as always with sure it has a really nice fresh smell, I think I got the cool aqua smell one and it really was nice and fresh, so that was one plus point, I then put my top on and hoorah!!! No white marks, that is worth about a million brownie points. I was going to an interview the day I tried this out, and in its normal fashion sure was amazing, because it gives 24hr protection, and it just makes you feel good knowing that you won’t smell, ...

Advantages: long lasting protection Disadvantages: most leave white marks
...Sure has a wide range of deoderants and antiperspirants or everyones daily needs. thers is so many different scents that it is hard to choose. the disadvantages are that i find that most of the anti perspirannts are quite cold to the skin and can make you jump. also most of the sure range leave dreaded white marks on your underams the can get bitty. If you spray the anti perspirants to close to your skin you can be left with a scar which i found out recently. The best sure range out though is the new surecrystal which is still cold when you spray it on but leaves no white marks and lasts the day i find this one definatly helps to prevent sweating !...

Advantages: Melts onto the skin; leaves skin soft and smooth; lovely smell Disadvantages: Expensive
...use before self tanning, as it's not at all harsh and won't irritate the skin.
It comes in a 250g pot with a screw top lid. The packaging, as you can see from the picture is pretty plain but classy - the plastic pot is nice and thick and without picking it up you could easily mistake it for glass. My only complaint is that the white lid can get a bit grubby, but that probably says more about me than the product! If you're using this around the bath or shower you do need to make sure that you don't let water into the pot as it will cause the crystals to melt before you want them to!
It costs around £25 for a pot of this and lasts me over 6 months using it once a week, which isn't terrible value when you consider average spend per use. It's a lovely luxury treatment and the only exfoliator I've used which comes close to this is Soap & Glory...

Advantages: Stops me smelling Disadvantages: Unattractive packaging
.... SureCrystal does prevent white marks better, but then so does being careful when applying your deodorant not to put too much on and trying to avoid wearing black tops which are far too small and cut into your armpits!
- The packaging is awful! It comes in typical "white background, red stripes, blue writing" Tesco Value packaging. But then I suppose if they repackaged exactly the same product, they'd have to charge five times as much for it, WOULDN'T THEY, RIGHT GUARD?!
Apart from those minor pointers, this is one of the best value buys I've ever come across and I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone who wants to save a little money!
Every little helps guys!
