Purelygreat Lavender Scented Cream Deodorant for Women & Men | Aluminum Free Deodorant Women & Men | Vegan & Long Lasting Odor Control | Chemicals, Parabens, BPA & Cruelty Free | 1.76 oz

My review will be a little bit "TMI", so skip this if you are a delicate type of person. :) This is a great product and it has miracle powers of knocking out underarm odor. I have very sensitive skin and I recently had to change all my personal grooming products to things that do not contain any of that horrible perservative that starts with an "M" (excuse me for failing to recall the name!) as well as no toxic things like SLS. Directly attributable to my skin allergies and overall dry skin, I sometimes don't want to bathe for a few days at a time. So I was able to experiment with this product and I was amazed at what it was capable of doing! I bathed and then put a dime-sized dollop on each armpit. I noticed that I had no odor for about 3 days, even though I do have to do a fair amount of work around the house and was experiencing damp armpits at times. On the third day, I noticed a slightly skunky odor starting, so I decided to apply more of the product. It knocked out the odor within about a half hour, and then it kept me odor free for another 3 days. I believe that I could have kept doing that, if I did not have opportunity or desire to bathe. It cracks me up that this product can remove odor as well as prevent it. I believe that all airlines should stock this product and pass it out to the offensive passengers. ;) UPDATE: After using this product for about 3 weeks, I noticed one day that I developed a sort of "rash" under each arm. I was so worried that it was a reaction to the product itself, but that didn't make sense because I had used it for a few weeks without any irritation at all. I realized that I had been sweating and had not been wise to dry off, and due to some hard physical work I was doing... I probably just got a thing I can only compare to diaper rash. It's like your skin is slightly puffy and red, and you just need to clean and stay dry, let it rest. That is exactly what I experienced, and I attribute that to a particularly stressful day of hard physical work without taking the wise action to dry off. I used the old "stick deodorant" for a day to let the skin recover. Then I happily went back to using this product and have not had a repeat incident of the weird rash, which was totally just a heat rash or wetness irritation. This product is deodorant but not antiperspirant. If you are doing something that makes you sweat, you can just pat your pits with some toilet paper when you are in the loo. But it's not a big deal normally for me, as I only get the tiniest bit wet feeling when working normally at my household tasks and when exercising outdoors.

I started using this deodorant and at first, I really liked it. However, over time I noticed some issues: after shaving (even waiting up to 15 hours before applying it), it caused itching. That irritation eventually went away, but then I noticed my underarms started to darken. In terms of odor and sweat control, it works well, but I wouldn’t buy it again because it also stains clothes. It leaves yellow marks on light fabrics, and on colored clothing it seems to alter the shade. I even had to do special treatments to remove the stains.

Okay. I have been on a long journey to finding the right all natural/alumim free deoderant. Prior to this one, I used Lavalin which worked well but did not last very long. Once I was done with that, I switched to this after finding it on Blissful Miss ( a good site that lists all natural/ organic products and ranks them using user reviews and the EWG ratings). Reading through the user reviews myself made me say yes to this product despite its high cost. So, here are my thoughts: Pros: Not greasy, great clean smell. No irritation or thick buildup. Lasts all day and, dare I say it, noticeable decrease in perspiration. Cons: This product costs way too much for the quantity. Pictures are very deceiving. (Take a look at my picture to see how the size compares). This bottle is TINY. Also, I did not receive a stirring stick. Instead I used a plastic knife to sit the product and apply. Overall, I rates it 4 stars due to the cost and quantity. I have gone through so many different products in my journey towards all natural and finally with this one I don't have to worry about how I smell or skin irritation. I wish it didn't cost so much but I'll stick with it.

I developed a brownish-pink 'rash'/stain on the lower half of my armpit after 5 days of use. It started as just a thin pink 'smile' on the right side but now it is on both sides and the smile is brownish-pink and 2" wide! It does not itch or sting yet. I am trying to return it. Amazon says it is not returnable, but the listing says NOTHING about being nonreturnable. Next note will be to Amazon. It DOES, in fact, WORK for me to control odor. Both jar and lid are plastic. Comes with thick stir stick in jar. Has stayed stirred together for 5 days although I do a little stirring before each use to be certain the baking soda and corn starch are incorporated. Messy to use. I am 74 years old and wanted something to use while I go through 5 months of triple-negative breast cancer chemo starting 10-19-2017...and maybe even after all treatments. Price: $9.99 ($6.24 / ounce) FREE One-Day Pickup. Details In Stock. Sold by PURELYGREAT and Fulfilled by Amazon. Gift-wrap available. UPDATE: I talked to Amazon today and they have refunded my cost and I do not have to return the product. I am sure it is for sanitary reasons.

This deodorant is OUTSTANDING! I have a skin reaction to almost all store bought women's antiperspirants/deodorants and have found the "natural" deodorants completely ineffective at odor control. I even tried men's deodorants without antiperspirant but they didn't do the trick. I was frankly sick of smelling like a foul barn after working out or even after just waking up after a good night's sleep. After reading the below reviews I purchased 3 natural cream deodorants and have been using them now for the past 2 months. Here is my review comparing them in terms of odor control, comfort of use, and dryness. The 3 deodorant creams purchased were Purelygreat Women's Citrus Cream Deodorant, Crawford Street Lemon Deodorant Cream, and Schmidt's Natural Deodorant Bergamot + Lime. Here are the pluses and minuses for each in order of my preference. Purelygreat Natural Deodorant for Women Citrus: Best Overall Odor control with the best antiperspirant function Pros: Absolutely the best odor control of the 3 products. I can put it on in the morning, exercise, sleep all night and have virtually no body odor the next morning. The smell is not overpowering or "perfumy", it just works as an outstanding neutralizer against BO. The smell starts out strongly of citrus (grapefruit, orange, lime, & cypress) but quickly fades to a light clean scent. It also works as an antiperspirant. Cons: It can cause some skin irritation if it is used immediately after shaving. It has a slightly grainy and tacky texture with application that takes some getting used to. The product does separate and requires frequent stirring. I wish it came with a small plastic stir stick/applicator. Crawford Street Lemon Deodorant Cream Pros: The best smelling of the creams right out of the jar, lightly floral, deliciously lemon, but not as long lasting odor protection. It also works as a light antiperspirant. This cream has the best consistency and texture of the 3 products as it is based in coconut & shea oil. It does not separate. With application it feels silky and moisturizing. Cons: Requires reapplication at the end of the day for improved odor and wetness control. It was the most expensive of the creams and did not come with free shipping. I wish it came with an applicator. Schmidt's Natural Deodorant - Bergamot + lime Pros: Ok smelling, has a bit more musk than the other two and was more gender neutral, although one boy said he didn't like smelling of fruit." It was the lest expensive of the 3 creams. This cream does not separate. It comes with a great little plastic applicator. Cons: It is my least favorite in terms of smell. In general it did not work with my body scent, required multiple reapplications for improved odor control and seemed to just cover up the BO instead of neutralizing it. It was the least effective antiperspirant, The cream was chalky and slightly crumbly. It is also irritating to the skin if used after shaving.

I purchased this item because it is rated with an EWG verified seal, which is always a good thing. I have the stick version, and was happy with it but the problem with both items is that they become dried out , and very hard to use. The roll on type, has a nice smell , and is effective, but it’s impossible to use due to its dryness. The jar version, initially was useable, the first month, but now it is hard as a rock. How do you make use of this jarred product when you can’t get any out?? I don’t know. I will use a scraper device, something, like a metal spoon to extricate the product . The jar has been stored accordingly , to the manufactures specifications, and I had the lid on it since receiving it. I really cannot recommend this deodorant , not due to the product itself, but the problems with consistency and usability once opened. What good is it if it can’t be removed from the jar? It’s feels like touching a rock.

AMAZING! I can't believe how awesome this product works and I can't praise it enough. I had lost all hope that I would ever find a deoderant that worked for me and was seriously thinking a Botox injection might be the only answer, but I haven't got a money tree in the back yard to be spending on that. I had been purchasing Rexona, from overseas, because the brands sold in the U.S. were not working, not even the clinical strength. My doctor couldn't even suggest anything! Rexona didn't work either. Recently I tried a natural spray, "100% Confident", which also worked, but made me feel a bit itchy. This product is seriously the best thing I've tried. A small amount is all that is needed. It lasts all day and even overnight! It has a pleasant smell, however it fades, if you are worried about the citrus smell, when you apply it at first, and you seriously don't smell anything - it's incredible! The only thing that takes some getting used to is that it feels kind of sticky under your arm, like a gel, but I can definitely deal w/that. I can't figure out how natural ingredients would work better than harsh chemicals, but AMEN. I'm no longer embarassed and thrilled I found a solution, so that my young daughter doesn't have to go through her entire life feeling the same way I have, as I've noticed she has been blessed with the same problem as her mom. The icing on the cake is that it's a safe product!!! I'm so very pleased and I hope they never discontinue. I'd give it more stars, if I could. I know everyone's body reacts differently, but if you are feeling hopeless to find a solution, the price is reasonable and I would suggest giving this product a try. I hope it works for you as well, because it definitely sucks having to be embarassed about such things and feeling discouraged.

The scent is spectacular, it's strong and lasts long. The cream sticks really well but also can cake over time. You'll have to harshly scrub to remove in the shower if you dont already wash your pits in the evening before bed. It is refreshing and maintains its value for the price. Containerwise I'd recommend a change if you take this on the go expect it to spill out and goup up your carry on. I had it sitting in my mirror cabinet and as with the shuffeling in there it ended up closed on its side and it is not tight enough not to spill out. In fact when it arrived it was already spilling out in the packaging. Why cant I use it any more? It gave me a constant mild rash under my arms. For my tanned olive skin tone its more difficult to recognize initially but the redness persisted over time. Regardless if I was more active one day or the other. Just as well it didnt matter when I waited 24-48 hours after scrubbing and then shaving my pits and then applying it after. Same irritation, same rash. I really tried to make it work for me. It felt similar to using NATIVE deodorant and the rashes which that product gave me. By comparison to register my skin sensitivity to products and how this one might affect YOU. Aluminum free Gel deodorant by secret and lume deodorant do not give me any rashes.
