NécessaireThe Deodorant Gel Eucalyptus - Aluminum-Free - For Women & Men. Clinical Mandelic Acid Deodorant. Extra Strength Odor Control. No Bumps. No Discoloration. No Parabens. 1.7 fl oz

I’ve only used it a few times. It seems to work fine. One drawback is that it takes time for it to dry under the arms. I’m happy so far!

Great brand and really good product

Loved this … for about a month. All of a sudden it is causing me skin irritation and an almost rug burn feeling under my arms.Great smell and feel and really did help me to be less stinky but I can’t use it anymore :(

I’ve tried them all, as they say.Your standard drugstore, your homemades, and natural… some work for half a day, or not at all. Lume worked for a bit, but the scent that worked best for me was discontinued when the company expanded. Their current options make me smell worse (it’s typically that a specific essential oil doesn’t agree with individual body chemistry).This is most comparable to my other deodorant in rotation: Kosas. Though I’ve been ordering this Necessaire one above all others for about 2 years.Hands down my favorite and incidentally I’ve discovered a few of my friends also use it. It’s clean and uses enzymes and acids to kill bacteria. I stay clean and odor free all day. If I go beyond a day I can begin to smell a faint stink - but I shower every night and reapply, so that’s not an issue.Remember : it doesn’t stop you from sweating, but it kills the bacteria to stop odor. I live in Texas and don’t want to use antiperspirants, so I just keep little fresh handkerchiefs on me, so I have them to dab any sweat if needed. It never smells though!If you don’t allow it to dry fully before getting dressed (in a rush, I just dab with a clean cloth or paper towel), I’ve noticed I will be guaranteed to sweat nonstop that day. So just let it dry!Since it’s a roll on, 2 tips:• only apply to clean armpits (dont be nasty - you don’t want bacteria getting rolled up into the container - it’s good at *preventing* bacteria growth on your body, not killing an entire colony)• apply to dry armpits and allow to dry fully before getting dressed (there’s not really a transfer issue, it just helps keep your armpits dry through the day)PS I have super sensitive skin and am eczema prone, and this doesn’t bother me at all. It can occasionally sting if I’ve *just* shaved, but that’s par for the course with shaving then applying a liquid deodorant, though if that happens it subsides within 2-3 seconds (has literally only happened a handful of times and I shave every few days).

I've successfully been using salicylic acid as a deodorant for years now, so I know that acids as deoderant works better than anything. So far the best way to use acid as a deoderant that I've been able to find for myself is to use the kind that comes as an acne wipe in a jar, like Str*dex in the red box, N*utrogena, or Ox*. Any of those cheap store brand types work amazingly well, but are wasteful and not environmentally friendly, as we all know. They're also often formulated with menthol and alcohol, which is fine for me but might be too much for sensitive skins.In my quest to be more environmentally friendly, I have been trying to find an acid based toner style that works as well. One that I could just shake into my hand and apply quickly. I've not been as successful with toners as I have been with the wipes, so when I saw that companies were finally coming out with acid based deodorants, I jumped on that bandwagon.So far I've tried multiple types with varying degrees of success. This Necessaire deodorant was my latest attempt. The packaging is pretty and it applies beautifully: quickly and easily. It dries quickly as well. Love that for us. Unfortunately the results were a major catastrophe. When I say major, I definitely mean it. Thankfully I work from home so I was able to test this deoderant without having to leave the house and subjecting others to the stench that it created lol. Well, besides my partner.I can see from the reviews that it does work for some. BHAs work best for me, lactic acid might work best for you, etc. I would say to definitely test this item over a few days at your house before you go out into the summer heat using just this deoderant. You might end up coming home smelling like hot onions.

BRING BACK THE UNSCENTED VERSION! I’ve been using this brand since I gave birth due to having strong smell & it worked really well, never went back with any other named brands. I was inlove with it but can’t buy the original one that I’ve been using, decided to try this scent.. I hate the smell, it’s to musky and smells old. I don’t get odor when using this but I just wish they’d bring back the old one!!

Wonderful light scent, rolls on easily and works perfectly! Love that this is a natural product.

Everyone's chemistry is different; but this deodorant has worked well for both me and my partner, who are of different genders and of different Asian and European ancestry. It has a light, natural scent; goes on wet but dries relatively quickly; and lasts at least a full day (or two!) of activity for me, almost a full day for him. I have also noticed I don't get ingrown hairs while using this deodorant, maybe thanks to the AHA having an exfoliating effect?
