While I found this killed odour immediately, it had no lasting power for me. At all. If I wanted it to work, I'd have to apply every 2 hours. I had no issues with ingredients, texture, or scent. I wanted it to work, but it did not last.
Customer service was of great assistance. I didn't want to re-purchase if I was going to end up throwing money away, never getting this to work, because as we all can see, it's costly - for a reason. After a number of suggestions and ideas (I didn't exfoliate, I suffered through laying off shaving for a bit, regularly reapplying, smelling my underarms and smelling my clothes), it just became obvious that I was an outlier, where I'd have to reapply a few times a day, to a wide area, and make sure I was using lots of the product so that it stayed with me.
Again, I think some reviewers need to notice this is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant. It is not a cover-up. It is an actual eliminator. You will still perspire. Getting rid of odour was my priority. For me, it took a while to work. Daily applications, 2 - 3 times initially weren't enough. Over time, though, paying attention to the wide circle in which I apply it, making sure I started with overkill (a lot of product), then reapplying 1-2 times throughout the day, my body finally accepted it.
I am a nervous sweater, and that's when the odour gets me. Over the past year and a half, one of the fancy new miracle products stopped working, and I noticed I was getting odour more often than ever. Nightmare. Normally, sweating hard during a run, I had no odour issues, but I dug myself a hole with market hype from that other product.
Staying with this product did pay off. I guess I'm weird. It took longer than expected, but into my second tin, even with my inconsistent schedule, I'm finding I need to apply less and less; however, if I notice a hint of anything and apply the product, odour is gone and it stays that way.
I cannot give it 5 stars because of the application method. I would imagine this is a nightmare for the manufacturer. Right now, the tins can be recycled, but the mess that's left on your fingers that takes forever to wash off... so frustrating. I tied reusable garden gloves with coated fingertips to keep the product off my hands, and it kind of worked. But I don't like getting ready and going from hair product, to face serum, to moisturizer, to deodorant, to flossing (in whatever order this happens), and have this added somewhere I don't want it. Perhaps as I go, I won't feel the need to have one last application before I leave the house and it's looking as though that's a likely possibility.
It's still messy, though. And I wash my poor hands so much they're starting to look 20 years older than the rest of me. The problem is, I like that I'm not throwing out a mixed plastic tube all the time. I prefer the mess to that. But when I let my nails grow, it's so much worse. That is the only drawback, and there's no perfect answer. I value the environment more, so I have to accept the messy.
This product is good. Give it time. I knew that when it killed odour instantly, but I felt like I was using so much that the cost would end up being insane. Slowly, I can see I'm using less, so I'm optimistic that trend will continue. It just took some extra time with me. Now I'm hoping the trend continues, and I'll be able to use this for years.

I’m honestly shocked at how well this works. I’ve tried at least 10 natural deodorants and not only did they not work, they all irritated my skin. And regular deodorant is not enough for me. As much as I’ve been trying to make switches in my life to more clean and sustainable product, I truly thought I was going to be stuck using clinical strength deodorant or stink.
I am so grateful Super Deodorant came across my feed! It works SO well. I’m so happy.
3 days in and convinced that this works. Appreciate such an effective product and will be sharing this with others. Once our 2 younger boys reach that age, there will be 5 of us using this. I’ll see how fast we go through this at one thin application per person per day but consider making a triple size container for our countertop if your team thinks that the product life vs rate of use would be appropriate, I’d buy it.
I just reordered after using for only a week. I can’t believe it, but my pits actually don’t stink by the end of the day! And I’m a hot flash sufferer, so that’s saying somethjng! I do apply every morning after showering still at this point.
I wish it came in larger containers.
Didn’t I see something about a stick deo in the works? Is that still happening?
Also, I took a different brand of deo along on a trip so I wouldn’t need to put my super deo in my “liquids bag” on the plane…I was running out of room. Big mistake. I had to constantly reapply that deo, because it DID NOT work like Super Deodorant!!
