Lume DeodorantReviews of lumedeodorant.com

I love this product! It is wonderful for my sensitive skin, especially the soap! The scents are great, my fave is Sweet Lily. Not an antiperspirant, but never claims to be... Works great all the places that I use it.

I ordered Lume because I sweat a lot & even though I shower every day & use deodorant every day, under my breasts & the folds at my genital area would smell from bacteria ( I have large breasts & am overweight, go figure ). I saw the commercial for Lume & decided to give it a go. Who knew it would work for me??! I understand that it doesn't work for everybody that's tried it but it does for me. The only drawback is that they don't smell like the scents it says it is on the tube. But the comment that one person made was that the 'scent' disappeared after about 5-10 minutes so it's not something that should be used if you want a scent: it's designed to leave NO scent! And as I say, I have found it works 100% for me. Buy the small tubes to see what/if it works for you. I like the silver spruce the best & will be ordering more when I have used what I have.

I sweat easily, and absolutely LOVE Lume deodorant. It works beautifully, scented or unscented. I wouldn't say it works 72 hours, but 24 for sure, MAYBE 48. But especially if you're showering every day that doesn't matter. The fact that it is natural means that the scent isn't overpoweringly chemical, which is what we're used to with brands like Dove. This may explain some of the bad reviews. But it makes sense to me that deodorant has the primary role of PREVENTING body odor. if you want to smell really good wear scented body lotion or perfume as well. There are natural ones that smell amazing. Also, Lume makes it clear that because they're not using aluminum, you still sweat, since your pores aren't being blocked. However, I noticed it still reduces sweating a lot, and I don't smell bad at all, even at the end of a hot day in the south. As for burning, I noticed that the scented ones do sting a tad bit RIGHT after shaving. This doesn't scare me because... put lemon extract on your freshly shaved pits at it will sting. I'm assuming it's the natural extracts or salts in there that cause the stinging, and it's very light. It lasts like 10 seconds so I don't really care. It's a very small price to pay for something natural instead of toxic chemicals. Last but not least, Lume has AMAZING customer service! I have contacted them twice. They will respond fast and refund you in full if you aren't satisfied with their product. I was recently told by my doctor that I had a fruit extract allergy. I had to replace all of my beauty products, and Lume was great with replacing the deodorant they had just sent me.

Probably just doesn’t work well with everyone's body chemistry would be my guess. I tried the tangerine on my pits as I am allergic to everyday drugstore products. It was fine for about an hour or so then my arm pits started to smell like cheese. Cheesey armpits are much worse than the light hint of of pencil shavings i get when I have been sweating. Threw it out.

I would have given Lume 5 stars if not for it's aroma. Clean Tangerine has a slight tangerine smell, but mostly it smells sort of like clay to me. I've found that using it sparingly helps to keep it's own aroma at bay. For instance, I don't need to swipe the entire 3 dollop portion on my pits. A smallish dab on a finger works fine. I may stick with my usual deodorant for my pits if, for nothing else, to keep Lume's aroma less invasive. They really need to work on that. As to it's working 'down there', which was my main reason for trying it, it's excellent. Used as suggested, a dab around the base of Mr. Happy, a dab on each side between thigh and scrotum, a dap on the 'taint and up the butt crack. I generally give 'the boys' a small touch too. Soaps weren't getting it for me 'down there. After a day of perspiring 'boys' and butt crack, there was that not so fresh aroma aka stink again. Lume is keeping all of that below the belt line 'unfriendliness' under control. When you have to ask yourself if you feel fresh enough to join someone in bed, you have an issue. Lume gives some confidence.

The product is decent, smells weird only till it dries, and gets the job done fairly well. It can and does give some people skin irritation/rashes. I see it as no different than most skincare products which risk that anyway.

My order arrived fairly quickly by postal service. The tangerine has an odd and strong smell that is far from pleasant. The smell does last a long time but I'm hesitant to use it, if I'm going out, for fear that others may smell it. I don't plan to buy any more due to the almost "foul" smell. I wish I could give a more encouraging review.

I have been using Lume for 5 months and have just stopped using it. I was given a stick of Lume by a friend who had ordered it to try herself and liked it. I had the Jasmine Rose scent. Initially I was really impressed. I liked the scent, and the deodorant seemed to work as advertised, keeping me odor free all day. I liked it so much I ordered more fragrances to try. The first, Silver Spruce, also worked great and I loved it. Then I had the Sweet Lily, which seemed to not work so well. I was getting smelly armpits after just a few hours. I thought perhaps it was just that fragrance, so I tried my third stick, Twisted Lime. After a week or so of using it, not only did I have body odor I also developed a rash under my arms and breasts. I was very pleased I had not been using Lume on my genitals like they advertise as safe. I'm not sure what happened. I went from loving this product to dumping it in the trash after it gave me a rash. Did my body build up an intolerance to an ingredient? Did Lume change their formula? I have no idea. But unfortunately their product is expensive so I have no desire to order more just to see if other scents also give me a rash. Sorry, but it's back to Dove for me.
