AKT Deodorant Balm 1.7 Fl Oz, Natural Deodorant for Men and Women, Award-Winning, Multi-use, Cream Deo Without Aluminum, Sc.01 Orange Grove, Plastic Free, All Genders

I kept seeing ads for AKT deodorant, and after reading reviews, I was a little skeptical, but also intrigued. So I got a sampler pack, and decided that I liked this one so much I'd buy the big tube. Then my husband tried it, and now it's all we both use! First the scent: I don't usually use anything scented, so it was an adjustment to start using this. It is a very unique scent, and you are either going to love it or hate it. I love it! (Some of their other scents are nice, and some are a big thumbs down.) Second, the application - you squeeze a pea-sized blob on your finger, and then split that in half and rub it under your arms with your fingers and hands. Some people may not like doing that, but it doesn't bother me at all, so I'd say thumbs up on the ease of application, and I like that I'm not paying for a big plastic applicator that's going into a landfill. Some have complained that the texture is a little gritty, but again, it's a matter of taste, and it doesn't bother me at all - some of the scents are grittier, or thicker and harder to squeeze out of the tube - I highly recommend, if you end up using this, that you spring for the nice key they offer that makes it easy to squeeze every bit out of the tube. Now the most important part. IT WORKS! I go through phases where sometimes I hardly have any underarm odor at all, and then suddenly it's pretty bad for a while. This deodorant prevents B.O. and keeps it away. Working from home, and at the advice of a dermatologist because of dry skin, I sometimes don't need to shower every single day, and AKT lasts - I can go two days without reapplying without worrying. So even though it seems a little pricey, one tube lasts two of us a looooong time, so in the end it's way cheaper than most other brands! I love that there is no aluminum in the ingredients, too. Many deodorants burn my sensitive skin, but this hasn't bothered me at all. Bottom line: Works great, smells great, price (in the long run) is great.

This stops my stink. I’m a middle aged woman, and since hitting my mid 40s I have developed BO that comes on strong. I went from using women’s deodorant to men’s natural-ish deodorant to men’s extra strength deodorant and by mid day I smell like an adolescent: like BO lightly veiled by synthetic fragrance. I have purchased drug store priced deodorant to Whole Foods priced deodorant and nothing last a full day for me. I’m not in a super hot place geographically, my job doesn’t require strenuous physical activity, so by rights man-strength deodorant should work. It doesn’t. I purchased AKT (white tube/thunderstorm scent) because I was influenced and ready to try something new for my issue. The ads kept popping up in my insta feed and I decided to try AKT fully expecting it to be disappointing. IT IS THE ONLY deodorant that had worked beyond 24 hours for me. I bought my full size tube over a month ago and I’m not even halfway done with it yet. It works so well! A little goes a long way too! I squeeze out a pea sized amount for each pit, rub it in with my fingers and I’m done for the day. Really. The whole day! Other reviews have said that the tube splits, the contents dry up, the smell is overpowering. None of these things have happened to me. It took some time to get used to the scent I chose, but it’s not a fake smelling scent that you find in typical deodorants. It’s intense when you first put it on, but mellows out. I have had less residue left behind on my clothing too. I have not seen yellow stains on my white shirts either. I apply it with my fingers (no applicator for me) and it works well on both smooth and hairy pits. I don’t feel dampness in my pits or sticky sliminess that would come from typical deodorants. I bought a tube key (a few bucks on amazon) to help roll the tube. My one and only gripe is that the screw on cap is tiny. If you have finger dexterity issues, this might be a challenge. In warmer weather there was an oily leak from the tube (less of a leak, more like seepage), but since the temps have cooled this isn’t an issue. Thank you for making a product that actually works for perimenopausal women.

No more breakouts, no more blocked pores, this stuff is amazing and does the trick! Smelling fresh all day! I will definitely be purchasing from now on!

This goes on like regular lotion and is hands down the best natural deodorant! No stains, no stinky arm pits and lasts ALL day for me. I can be sweating, working outside and still feel clean, comfortable and confident. It was a struggle finding a product that was natural that would mask my b.o. I bought all brands and it was horrible, my sister can contest to that; stinky!! This is my second purchase and I have no complaints other than the packaging. Towards the end of the tube I had to cut it open to get about a week’s worth of product still trapped inside. I did buy the key to help squeeze the tube but it still doesn’t give you that remaining bit without having to cut the tube. The tube is made with a material that is sharp when cut so it was a bit difficult at the end to get all the product. Bought the Amber Violet Tonka Bean. 5 Star if not for having to cut the tube.

It's only been my second day and it works great. It smells a little weird at first applying but it dissipates to nothing no scent. Honestly, the packaging I can deal with as long as the product works which matters the most. I do have to try in summer or after a workout to see how effective it is. So far I like it. Once it's on it feels great and not itching. Will update as I use more. But I love it so far.

I bought this at the start of the the year and I feel like I've really put it through it's paces. I'm a performer (who sweats a lot!) and I've been touring a very active show to some wildly different climates; from the tiny cold Scottish isle of Mull to the south of France in 40 degree heat to very humid Singapore. Of all the natural deodorants I've tried, this it the best at deodorising - of course it doesn't stop the sweat, but it stops me smelling awful, even after many hours of sweating with heat and after running around on stage. I LOVE the smell - I have the purple Onsen one. It's quite strong, but I love this. I'd much prefer to smell of this than BO! And it's not like the fragrance is overbearing after it's applied. You only really need to use a small amount, and it lasts for most of the day. I think the tube itself will last quite a while - I got it in January, and I'm perhaps half way through in July? Oh, and it hasn't left any marks on my clothes. The only thing I've noticed is that extreme temperatures can have an effect on the thickness of the paste. When I was in Scotland, it was snowing outside and fairly cold inside, but not freezing. The paste became very hard to squeeze out! Not impossible, but difficult. Then, in very hot climates, at about 40 degrees Celsius, it becomes very thin and a bit watery, so you need to take care squeezing it out, as it'll flow out very quickly. However, I really haven't minded this at all. Perhaps in order to stay consistent in all temperatures, you'd need to add chemicals - then it wouldn't be a natural deodorant! Overall, it's the most expensive deodorant I've ever bought, but as a sweaty performer, it's a great investment. It's the best of the natural deodorants and I love the strong smell. Packaging looks great too. comes in a nice box. I would even say this would be a great gift for a performer!

It’s not working and had bad smell and it’s hard to squeeze all I get oily stains everywhere

It has a pleasant smell and stops unpleasant body odour, so you can confidently go out, even when it's hot (tested in the Provence in August).

Best deodorant ever that does not ruin clothes or leave stains. Also, healthier option.

Also. Produkt ist gut aber ehrlich gesagt so unbequem für nutzen.
