The good and bad from someone with an AI disease
I bought coconut. I have an autoimmune disease and have extreme heat intolerance so what’s warm to one person is like scorching heat to me and as a result I sweat a lot. I’ve always used Secret, Arm & Hammer or Dove deodorant and they’ve worked fine. Even if I skipped 1 shower day. I don’t know WHAT this deodorant does but yes, it does work for more than a day; but when it stops working, be prepared! There is no gradual odor coming back like with my usual deodorants. It’s like the deodorant says “Hey, I’m clocking out, here’s your odor.” Than all of a sudden, you smell like the last 7 days even if it’s only been 2 and a half.
For some reason I feel like my armpits smell so much worse since I started using this. I’ve never in my life smelled so bad. I’m going to switch back to my usual deodorants because:
•It doesn’t last as long as the advertising says.
•It’s way too expensive.
•It makes me smell worse once the it stops working
•The scent is almost non-existent. Unless you put your nose practically ON the container, you can barely smell it.
I did like that it lasted more than 2 days. But once it’s done working….it is DONE WORKING!
*****Update: I have returned to Secret deodorant. The horrible body odor I had with this product is gone. I will NEVER use this again. It made me smell awful. I don’t know WHAT this deodorant does but I smelled horrid and I’m embarrassed with the fact that someone probably smelled how awful I stunk. The odor was that bad. It was offensive! Again, this deodorant did last for almost 2 days, but it’s effectiveness ends immediately and be prepared to smell like a garbage truck and sewer line even if your body odor doesn’t normally smell that bad. I haven’t smelled like a sewer since I stopped using this. NEVER. AGAIN. EVER. Too expensive for what it actually does but the end result is WORSE BODY ODOR. Not even your mother would want to hug you!!
