CRYSTAL Deodorant Stick (30003), Unscented, 4.25 Ounce

I love this stuff! I have been using this brand of deodorant for years. I haven't put regular deodorant on my arms since 2013 (and I'm an active, sweaty male). So when local pharmacies stopped carrying the Crystal I got nervous. Thankfully I found this online.Let me give you a run down of how this stuff works:First, there is only one ingredient. Literally. It's just a crystal. So no nasty chemicals, no additives, nothing. Even the fancy all natural deodorants like "Tom's" can't claim that.Second, due to there being no chemicals or additives, it works differently. Instead of killing or neutralizing the smell, it blocks it. When you rub the crystal on your armpit it leaves an invisible coat of crystal. That invisible coat physically blocks the smell from being able to leave your armpit."But I've tried this and it doesn't work!" That's because you're doing it wrong. Since you're blocking and not neutralizing the smell, you need to cover quite a bit more area than you do with normal deodorant. Otherwise the smell will seep out the sides of your layer of crystal.So here is what I do:***First I extend the crystal all the way out.***Next I wet the crystal, as directed by the package. But to be more specific, I quickly turn the faucet on and off. It doesn't need a lot of water, just enough to get it to glide on your arm pit as opposed to having it be dragged.***Then, with the crystal turned sideways, I proceed to cover the underside of my arm as if I was painting with a roller brush. I know the top of the crystal is rounded and that's probably how the manufacturer intends you to use it. However, what did I say above? You need to cover a lot of area in crystal in order for it to be effective. The best way to do that is to turn it sideways with it fully extended so you can cover more area in fewer strokes.***I then wet the crystal again and proceed to "paint" the other side.***When I am done I dry the crystal before putting it awayLet me better explain the "painting" process. With the crystal all the way extended I hold it horizontally like a rolling paint brush. Then, if I am doing my right arm, I start a FULL INCH to the right of my arm pit. I then stroke it up to about FIVE INCHES above my arm pit, then back down to five inches below my arm pit. I then slowly move in toward my chest while still moving the crystal up and down in the described pattern until I get a FULL INCH to the left of my armpit. Yes, some of your chest will be covered. Yes, area outside of your arm pit will be covered. This is to prevent any rogue smells from escaping. The bigger the blanket, the harder it is to escape. Then, before I finish, I go back over just the arm pit area a few times for good measure. I then repeat this process on the other arm. If at any point the crystal gets too dry to smoothly move up and down your arm, then put some more water on it. However, don't drown it in water as you don't want to end up spreading nothing but water.You're probably thinking that it sounds like it takes a lot of time. You would be correct. It does take double, if not triple or quadruple the time to put on regular deodorant. But it's totally worth it to avoid smearing nasty chemicals or additives on your pits every single day.Over time the crystal will shrink as it's gradually applied to your pits over days, weeks and months. Eventually it will fall out of the container. That's okay. In fact, now it's even easier to paint your arms! And you can still store it in the container. KEEP IN MIND though that the Crystal is fragile. If it's dropped it will almost certainly chip if not totally break apart. I've never made it to the very end with a crystal. My clumsy self will drop and break it eventually. But it's still worth it.***VERY IMPORTANT***The Crystal will not work well right away. You pits are used to years, decades of using crazy ass deodorant products. Look at it this way. Let's say your skin never really gets dry so you never wear face lotion. Now let's say for some reason you were convinced to start wearing lotion to slow down aging. After a few months of use if you don't put lotion on, your face will be dry. That's because you skin got accustomed to the lotion so it stopped producing as much oil. Same concept with deodorant. After years and decades of smearing gunk on them, your pits got used to sweating more so your body could push out all those nasty chemicals. Not using deodorant for one day isn't going to change that. You need to use the Crystal for at least 2 weeks before your body will adjust to it. I've had many friends give up on the crystal because they were too impatient. But the ones who listened to me and waited it out haven't looked back.Give this stuff a shot. Your body will thank you.

Wow. This deodorant has blown my mind. If you struggle with smelly pits, cysts in your arm pits, and want to avoid cancer-giving products, get this deodorant!Basically it's a hard crystal that you wet and rub on your skin. What I do is wet my pit area first, then wet the stick and rub it on my pits and all around that area generously. It takes only a minute to dry. It works amazing! I don't smell anymore, and the deodorant itself has no scent.But there are some drawbacks. After a while the water loosens the crystal and causes it to fall out of the deodorant stick holder. If you don't catch it, it will shatter into a million pieces. I took mine out right away and just hold it with my hands after my first one shattered.Also, it takes a few weeks for your pits to detox all the gross junk you've put on them before, so you'll smell worse for a while.Lastly, I've found the crystal leaves my armpits dry and itchy unless I put some chafing cream on after it dries.Believe it or not, with all those drawbacks it is still so worth it. The stick lasts forever, no more cysts in my armpits, I smell great, and it lasts all day. Get it!!!

In 40 years I’ve never found a deodorant that actually tames odor for more than a few hours, regardless of what it claims. Until now…. Ive dealt with irritation, redness, and burning for years using “normal” deodorants. I would use a different one every day and cycle through brands to ease the symptoms. Until now…This stuff has completely changed my life. I’m not a fan of “holistic” or alternative medicine, herbs and oils and all that jazz. But this stuff actually WORKS! It’s easy to apply, doesn’t leave marks on clothes, and each pack lasts a long time which is great considering the cost. But more than anything - IT WORKS! I’m serious - end of the day… no stink. Wake up the next morning… STILL NO STINK! I’m totally blown away. This really is a game changer.

I bought it a bit skeptical that it would work, but the best part was the price. It’s easy to use, works well, has no bad odor, and you can reapply it if needed. The quality is very good, and the best part is that it’s natural, dries quickly, It doesn’t skin irritation.
