AKT, THE DEODORANT BALM. Award winning, multi-use, natural deodorant. Plastic Free. Gender Free. Aluminium Free. 100% effective — 1 tube lasts up to 3 months. SC.04 HALCYON SUMMERS. 50ml

I've tried every deodorant/antiperspirant going, and never found one that worked completely. Some worked well but made me smell weird, whereas other made me smell lovely, but let me down. I cannot remember how I found out about this but it is soooo good.Pros: it is human, and planet friendly, residue free, doesn't harm your clothes, and can be used anywhere on the body, including the face, and underboob sweat is a thing of the past. That said, it is unisex, so you can share the same product.It smells lovely but not overpowering, (Onsen (purple tube) is my go-to), it also comes in fragrance free, it's easy to apply, it keeps you fresh and dry, and the tube last for a good 6-8 weeks depending on how often you reapply. A 'pea' size dollop is honestly all you need. There are no lasting, unpleasant side effects either that you can get from 'professional' products.Cons: It can make you a bit itchy but just wash off and use less next time, and you'll definitely need 'The Assistant' which is a tube 'key' because the tube is hard to squeeze using your hand. These keys are available anywhere tho, so not really a 'con'.I love it. Finish the tube and place in the recycling. What's not to love?! It might not be for all, and it could be called pricey, BUT, having something that actually works, is worth its weight in gold. I will definitely continue to buy this 🙂

Pros:This is the only natural deodorant I've found that actually lasts all day and stays smelling really nice.It smells expensive and luxurious.It doesn't leave white marks unless I've put way too much on, and any marks they do easily wash out unlike other natural deodorants I've used that have stained my clothes.It feels really nice on my skin and doesn't dry out my armpits.Also feel like the tube is lasting a long time.Cons:When it's cold the tube is a little hard to squeeze without the tool you can buy as an extra.I've got used to using my hands to rub it on, but I do have to wash my hands after putting it on every time.It's a little expensive but honestly I'm really happy to have finally found a deodorant that works for me so happy to pay the price

Love the smell, feels good on my skin, acts well as deodorant.On the negative side that stops it being 5*'s:It's expensive, or appears expensive, I will see how long it lasts.It's not at all easy to get the product out of the tube, it's like a very thick paste (but smooth), tube takes a lot of squeezing.Maybe a matching cologne would be nice...

So there are lots of things I really like about this product. The scent is divine, and I appreciate that there is no gendering of scents (mostly because I don’t like most products aimed at women since I don’t want to smell like an engineered vanilla pod). I like the effectiveness of the products and I really like that this dries down so unlike most natural products there isn’t a constant film of oil. I find it very effective, and I don’t mind applying with my fingers. The packaging is a nightmare though. I do appreciate the move to make it as eco friendly as possible, but a tube is just not fit for purpose. If you roll it over at the top (without the key thingy that is sold separately) then the tube tears and there’s oil leaking out. If it must be used with the key roller then that should be 100% transparent before purchase. I suspect it might not leak using the key because it would prevent stress points. I understand the aim is to make fully recyclable packaging (on board) but that only works if the packaging is fit for purpose and this is not. The top on the tube is too small to stand it on end, which would help with the seepage issue. I could put it in a plastic bag to prevent the spillage spoiling my furniture but then that defeats the purpose of the plastic free packaging. I also understand why selling the key roller packaged with each tube is not desirable (cost, waste etc) but if the key is the key to joy it needs to be clear. I like the scent (if this was a fragrance I’d be all over it), I love the eco friendly objectives, I like the performance of the product and the overall experience. Please do something with the packaging so I can be a firm fan.

This product is magical, it keeps your armpit with a nice and fresh smell all day, and zero mark on your clothes. And it’s all natural, I can’t believe it! You don’t even need to use much, so it can definetly last for weeks/months. Now that I use Akt, I don’t have to worry about smelling BO, I don’t have to put deodorants several times a day — I’m feeling more confident. Just a FYI, it’s a deodorant, not an antiperspirant, so you will still sweat. But good news: you won’t smell!!

I was excited to receive this after reading the positive reviews however this was short lived. Very hard to open the metal film on top of bottle, normally other products have something in the cap to open it but not this one. I then had to use a knife to cut open the metal which defeats the purpose considering it left bits of metal shard on top but I didn’t have any other way! When I scraped away the metal I found the product hard to get out of tube in fact it’s like cement. So disappointed especially considering it’s so expensive. No wonder it last months as you can’t get it out at all. Pity actually as it smells lovely

This stuff is great. Pricy, but it's getting hotter and I need a stronger deodorant. This seems to do the job and does not leave a white cast on clothes. Smells really good too. Cap is a bit flimsy as it's tiny, but it's the only downside (apart from the price!).

I’ve searched for years — YEARS — to find the right deodorant for me. I used to really like the one from Kiehls but it only comes in aluminum-laden antiperspirant (the aluminum stains white shirts grrrr). I like Native okay but their fragrances all smell a little cheap. I’ve tried lots of the mid-upper tier deodorants available on Amazon, but either they don’t work, they irritate my skin, or their fragrances just aren’t good (side note: why do all of the Each & Every deodorants smell like food?). Enter AKT which smells divine, works for two days if I need it to, and lasts forever (ends up being cheaper than Native). I’m using the After Thunder scent which smells so good it’s got me trusting AKT enough to try another scent next time. I only wish they made more nice-smelling stuff, like hand creams, moisturizers etc. YMMV but if you can get used to applying deodorant with your fingers this is the one.

Seriously works so well! Saw Lucydavisfit using it for a marathon so gave it a try.No smell if you get sweaty like other natural deodorants, I will forever be using this now.

Lovely scents, and prevents BO all day. I recommend the product 100%However, the cap is tiny, and you need to pierce the seal with a pen the first time you use it. The ink from the pen gets on the deodorant and the deodorant gets on the pen. No bueno.I just wiped away the mess so it’s not a deal breaker for me but there’s room for improvement.

I bought the 50ml tube of the SC.02 After Thunder, which smells wonderful. It works for me in terms of performance and scent. The deodorant leaves a residue (on the inside of the shirt) similar to baby powder, more visible when wearing dark clothing. However, any traces can be easily removed with a gentle cycle in the washing machine. The main annoyance comes when you start using the product. The tube is sealed in aluminum and the cap is not designed to pierce the opening. So, you have to find your tool to do so. In my opinion, it’s a design flaw that could be easily fixed. Overall, I am happy with the product and giving it 3 stars.

I really love this product. It's easy to apply and it smells really nice. I also feel protected all day! Highly recommend.
