Lume Whole Body Deodorant - Invisible Cream Tube and Solid Stick - 72 Hour Odor Control - Aluminum Free, Baking Soda Free, Skin Safe - 3.0 Ounce Tube and 2.6 Ounce Solid Stick Bundle (Clean Tangerine)

Being a health care professional, I was skeptical as anyone else that this would work. I had planned to use it on my armpits, under my chest in the summer, as well thigh / groin area. I had my husband try it as well since he sweats more than I do. Unfortunately, get got a rash in his armpits from using this but it was because he had too much moisture. These ARE very moisture-heavy products. They are NOT antiperspirants, only deodorants.However, Lume is an amazing deodorant. Again, my husband’s armpits need to be studied by scientists for how much sweat they can produce and how stinky they get. It’s incredible, in the worst way. Even though Lume didn’t stop the sweating, the smell went away completely. I seriously, truly, genuinely, did not think it would impact the smell that much, but when you look at the ingredients and realize that the mandelic acid kills bacteria which is what produce the foul smelling compounds, then it makes sense! I wish there was a powder form so we could sprinkle it on his armpits.As for me, I had no issues with the moisture component and I am SO, SO, SO impressed with the ability to rid odors while being gentle on my sensitive skin.Truly a feat of modern science, haha!A must-have for summer time too.

This stuff works SO well for body odor. The only reason I tried it was because the inventor is an OB/GYN, and obviously she’s a genius to come up with this.My brothers and I always joke that “we’re a sweaty people” because we cannot do anything without sweating. This product doesn’t prevent sweat (no aluminum), but sweating for a good chunk of the day = odor. And honestly I’ve never found a product that I can’t sweat through. I usually carry a tube of old spice and a bottle of perfume everywhere with me.I tested out the cream deodorant by using it in my buttcrack. I had to get a true feel for the effectiveness. After 30 minutes on the stair master the NEXT DAY, I did a swipe before my shower and my butt still smelled like coconut. Gross test, but it doesn’t lie.However I do not love the toasted coconut scent. To me, it smells kind of like buttered popcorn and coconut? It’s fine for underboob/armpit, but that scent with inner thigh/butt use was just gross. I’m still figuring out my favorite scent, but I’ll never give up on this product.Also - amazing for ingrown hairs. Unlike a lot of other whole body deodorants, Lume has a gentle chemical exfoliant, which helps prevent ingrown hairs and hyperpigmentation.As a truly truly sweaty person, this product feels like a miracle.

Prior to this purchase I'd only tried the acidified soap (clean tangerine scent). The soap lasted a long time, but I was ready to try something new. My idea was to get one item to use for underarms, and another to apply by dabbing on with my fingers. (My thinking was to tend to private parts (front & butt) each time separately, then wash my hands afterwards. No cross contamination.)All is working out well, except that I really do not care for the clean tangerine scent in the cream tube. Unlike the acidified soap fragrance, it smells weird and it lingers. The solid stick clean tangerine smells fine.I'm writing this review mostly because when I was looking into buying Lume my major concern was how it smelled. Just adding my thoughts here for the record.

If you have been waiting to try Lume, let this be your sign to try it. As a menopausal woman I was having persistent odor in one armpit that kept coming back, immediately after showering almost, no matter what I used... apparently this is a thing when our hormones are shifting and changing. Having cut my ties with anti-perspirant and detoxed from all that aluminum years ago, I was not willing to go back to a traditional combo like that, but all my trusted natural deodorants, even the one I make on my own, were not helping this particular problem. Lume enters the chat... I was hesitant because of the price, but ordered the scent sampler cream deodorants so I could test out all the scents... and WOW, it totally, 100% took the odor away, and lasts 48-72 hours! I decided on my fave scents and ordered this set of Clean Tangerine (my number one pick)... the stick works just as well as the cream. The magic is in the mandelic acid, which does have a weird scent at first in the cream deoderant, but that 100% goes away once it's on. Here are my favorite scent picks.1. Clean Tangerine, a delicate citrus but really just as it sounds... very clean smelling... not too strong and not too fruity.2. A close second is the Lavender and Sage, only if you love lavender, it is very herby and delicious smelling, a bit stronger than the clean tangerine and heavy on the lavender. I love it.3. Peony Rose, flowery and not too cloying, a bit strong at first but dries down light and floral... very girly.4. Toasted Coconut, many people love this one the most, but for me, I don't love my armpits smelling like food... it's very warm and foody, almost more hazelnut creamer smelling to my nose. It does eventually smell like coconut after a few hours.5. Fresh Alpine, I wanted to like this one more, but it reminds me of a typical, sweet, men's cologne... which I do not mind, it just smells more masculine than I want to smell. It lasted a long time too.6. Cucumber mint... nah, too basic bathroom air freshener smelling for me, and too strong.I did not test the unscented, but that is a great option if you want 0 interference from scents, and the soft powder, because that did not appeal to me at all.
