Lume Whole Body Deodorant - Smooth Solid Stick - 72 Hour Odor Control - Aluminum Free, Baking Soda Free and Skin Safe - 2.6 Ounce (Pack of 2) (Soft Powder)

I have used Lume in the past with great results, but during a move my old stick of Lume disappeared for a couple of years. When I found it a few months ago it was kind of dried out, the coconut scent had vanished, and it smelled like a box of crayons. While it was still effective, I'm not a huge fan of smelling like crayons, so I decided to order some new Lume. I primarily got it because its safe to use in places....other than... my pits if you catch my drift. Also not a fan of aluminum. Lume works like a champ! I'm not really concerned with stopping the sweat, I'm more concerned with stopping odor. I work outside everyday and in the summer I'm drenched from head to toe anyways. So Lume is perfect for my situation. It eliminates all odor, and by all I mean ALL. I don't care who you are or how hard you scrub, at the end of a long hot day outside, your southern hemisphere will have an odor in some form. Lume has eliminated this for me. I have not had any skin irritation at all using Lume. I know everyone is different, but for me there have been no issues whatsoever. It does leave a little bit of a "film" on my skin, I'm not sure that's the right word, it's not greasy or gross feeling, it's more "silky" than anything. Definitely not unpleasant. And I'll take silky over stinky any day. I prefer the way Lume feels over "regular" deodorant. Now for the scent... I have a "super nose" and can usually smell things when others can't so this was probably the biggest and most important factor for me. I ordered the Clean Tangerine, Lavender Sage, and Unscented bundle. Usually any citrus scented products give me a migraine, so I was a little worried about that, but I read so many positive reviews about that scent I decided to roll the dice. It actually smells amazing and I tried that scent today and haven't had the slightest tinge of a headache. I think it's my favorite scent. The lavender sage does smell good, but the tangerine wins. The unscented did have a slight (and I mean barely noticeable if you have your nose right on the stick) "crayon" smell to it, but that does go away after it's applied. I gave my son the unscented stick to try and if it works for him I'll order him a "manly" scent. After I ordered this bundle, out of curiosity, I did some research regarding my original stick of Lume smelling like crayons. I was horrified to read mainly negative reviews about how Lume smelled like swamp butt and sour milk. I was really second guessing my order at that point, not sure if something had changed in their formula since i bought my first stick years ago. Tons of people were being repulsed by the smell of their Lume. There was speculation in many of these reviews and discussions that perhaps only some people are able to smell this and others are not - much like how cilantro tastes like soap to some people and doesn't to others. I must be one of the people that can't smell the foul odor that others do, or perhaps its only the cream that has that smell. I tend to think it's more common to see negative reviews because people are more apt to shout from the rooftops when they have a negative experience than when they have a positive one. It smells great to me! So if you have researched Lume and read all those reviews - just give it a try for yourself. I do find it somewhat difficult to spend so much on a deodorant, but knowing that it can be used ANYWHERE you have odor without worry, I think its worth it. Also, a little goes a long way. It says it works up to 72 hours, but I would rather be safe than sorry so I apply it once a day. Maybe one day I will do an experiment. At the end of the day I'm really happy to have found Lume and I'm so glad there is an effective alternative to applying aluminum to my pits every day that can be used in other places.

Aroma suave y agradable. Duración de aproximadamente 8 horas sin mal olor a sudor. Producto de buena calidad pero no dura las 72 horas que dice el empaque. En general bien a comparación de otros desodorantes comerciales y lo mejor es que no contiene aluminio. Tal vez volvería a comprar pero antes probar otras opciones.

I tried Lume because my postpartum body odor was too strong for my usual natural deodorant, and I’m a natural deo user only and didn’t want anything with aluminum or phthalates. There was an adjustment period, to say the least. At first it seemed to make my body odor worse—as if it smelled like someone else’s body odor. It was gross. I’d read online about how it initially stinks as the mandelic acid is killing off bacteria, though. The smell improved as it dried after application, so I pushed through since I didn’t want to buy yet another deodorant. My body seemed to need a week or two, then the funk of the initial adjustment got a lot better. And once I had adjusted, it was really, really effective at completely changing the smell of my armpits to the soft powder scent. I usually use a quick swipe morning and evening and I basically never smell BO anymore even though I don’t shower every day. So that’s pretty great, but the actual life-changing part is that Lume has completely solved my armpit irritation. I’ve always been prone to rashes and shaving bumps, to the point where I don’t own many sleeveless tops. I thought it was just unavoidable with shaving, since the only way to get rid of it entirely has been not shaving my armpits. However, during the adjustment period with Lume I decided to shave to see if that helped the funk, and lo and behold, apparently the irritation was caused by every other deodorant I’ve ever used in my entire life, and with Lume I can shave without any irritation. Incredible. 10 stars. Will rebuy. Side note, I won’t rebuy the soft powder scent, since it’s too strong and smells a little fake. I’m hoping that vanilla or lavender might work better for me, since I’m used to smelling more like essential oils than an air freshener.

I have tried countless brands of natural deodorants. I currently use Dr Teals and love it but definitely have to reapply twice in a day. I bought Lume for my daughter to try- others not lasting. Love the clean ingredients and avoidance of aluminum. This seems to go on clear and last all day! I do have her reapply for dance in evenings but I honestly don’t think she would need to do that. I don’t agree with it lasting72 hours as advertised but definitely lasts all day! Also love the scent options.

So I will admit I was a Lume hater. When they first came out I tried the deodorant stick when it was still in cream form and I hated it. It made me smell worse when it mixed with my body odor but I wanted to give it another shot. And I am very impressed. It’s a solid stick now, and it works really well. I got the powder scent, and it keeps me dry, and smell free. It’s easy to use, and there’s no drying time. It doesn’t leave a white stain on my clothes. It goes on creamy but it feels like regular deodorant. I gave 4 stars because a bit gets onto the bottom ring of the applicator where the top goes on so I just take my finger and collect it and wipe it back on top.
