helloClean & Fresh All Over Whole Body Deodorant Cream for Women and Men, Aluminum Free, Safe for Sensitive Skin, Pits, Privates, 3 ounces

This works amazingly well! I threw away my other "stick" deodorant. I've tried the pricier and more well known cream all-body deodorant and this worked far better. Zero odor all day in all the places you want to stay fresh. I'm sold on it. A little goes a long way, too. Just a small drop for each underarm. I stopped using anti-perspirant/deodorant combinations because anti-perspirant doesn't let your skin breathe naturally. Also heard that applying anti-perspirant and the chemicals involved in them to shaved underarms may be linked to breast cancer. Not sure if true, but made enough sense to me to stick to a deodorant only. That said, I haven't noticed any excessive sweating with this either.

I follow all the suggestions when using natural deodorant.1. Put it on right after the area is cleaned2. Apply to area 1" outside of what you typically consider armpitOn top of that I usually apply right before I go to bed and when I wake up.I think I still might have been skimpy on the application. It seems like it works better if you're heavy handed with the product (quarter sized amount vs dime).I don't think this cream is using arrowroot or any natural moisture absorber. The cream seems to make you retain moisture. It does not dry up efficiently; compared to if you weren't wearing deodorant or using an aluminum based deodorant.The price point is better than the natural deodorant competition though.And effective about 95% of the time. However, the 5% failure smell lingers in your head, making you wonder if you should just go back to your tried and true aluminum based deodorant.There are no real studies that show that aluminum based deodorants lead to cancer or any other health issues.But besides the excess moisture in certain body areas...The way it dries in the armpit is more pleasing than the sticky gel aluminum deodorants and less flaky than the stick. Maybe I need to find something in between and cheaper.

***First of all, this is NOT an antiperspirant! You are still going to sweat with Hello Whole Body Deodorant. Second, I have read the bad reviews, i.e., it doesn't work, I still stink, the scent smells atrocious, etc. Okay people, you have years/decades' worth of bacteria in your armpits and other places you sweat. I thought well this is going to work better if you use some kind of antibacterial or something like that. I ran a search in Amazon and came up with Clyecfra Underarm Detox Scrub with peppermint and witch hazel. I use this scrub in the shower on my underarms, under boob, underbelly, etc. It is not too coarse. I then follow with the Hello Whole Body Deodorant after my shower. This was a gamechanger. It's in the 100s here in New Mexico and I sweat just walking across an airconditioned room. I plan on using the scrub and Hello deodorant from now on. Also, people complain about the scent. Well, if you get Sweet Coconut or Lavendar Vanilla, you probably are not going to like the scent. I stick with the Fresh scent and it doesn't cause any funky smells.***I thought I'd jump on the whole-body deodorant band wagon. I looked at dozens of brands and many reviews that went with them. For the price and reviews, this one seemed the best (I couldn't see spending $30 for a small tube). I bought the Fresh scent because I have severe allergies and can't stand anything with fragrance. I've tried it a few times and am impressed with the way it keeps you from smelling too bad. I don't go to the gym so I can't speak as to how it works if you're all sweated up but would imagine at the very least it helps some.

UPDATE: I cannot get 72 hours use. I can barely get 24 hours. I did an experiment applying this to one armpit and my previously used salt deodorant (liquid form) on the other armpit. The salt deodorant lasted much longer. The following days I experimented more reapplying through the day. I tried this for two more days. With as many as four to five applications in 24 hours it does work. Perhaps by using more product this will work for you. I personally find that one application of a dependant is much more convenient, but also more cost effective. Changing five star review to a three star review.Works as advertised with exception to the 72 hours. For me it doesn't last that long, but it DOES last a very reasonably long time between showers. The scent is NOT strong so if you are sensitive to strong or artificial scents this should be good for you. The lotion style deodorant is clean and easy to apply without a mess like sone dispensers. It is not drying my skin nor does it feel greasy like some others. I'll be ordering more!

This product was lousy. It was supposed to provide 72 hours of whole body deodorant & I smelled of body odor in less than 24 hours. I even tried using more the next day thinking maybe I hadn’t applied enough, but no, it is just a lousy product & does not work. I’ve used Lume in the past & loved it & will go back to using it again.

I was shocked the first time I used Lume. Figured out quickly it was the mandelic acid that made the difference. I started adding drops of mandelic acid to my lotion and that worked pretty well. I was excited to see an affordable version of Lume. But it doesn’t work well, it smells fine, it has the right ingredients. For plasticky container, I like the twist off cap and squeeze bottle a LOT. But the reason I bought it was to replace Lume. And thats not possible with this. I know it definitely does not work all day and my personal scent hits my clothes. I use good enzymes for laundry and I use chlorophyll liquid in my water. But I am older and I get funky in unpleasant ways that I can smell and showers are not cutting the changes of menopause and the funk.
