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.01 ORANGE GROVE. 50ml

I wish more people knew about this stuff, I got recommended it by someone at work and after taking a risk on it as it was quite pricey I’ve been blown away by how effective it is and how long it’s lasted! Can’t remember exactly how long they say a tube lasts but this one has been going strong with daily use for around 10 months now. I’ve got sensitive skin and it causes no issues at all, leaves no residue or stains on clothes and stops me smelling all day! Definitely don’t be put off by the initial cost as it’s definitely worth it!

The best deodorant I’ve ever tried. I’ve tried all of the more popular brands of natural deodorant and either they don’t work or they give me a massive rash. This is so good, worlds perfectly and smells so good. I thought I would be put off by the application method but really it’s not an issue. It is hard to get out of the tube and I see why they sell the key thing. Not bought it but it would be helpful. Also if you live in a colder place (scotland) warming it up helps get it out of the tube if you are struggling.

I bought the orange fragrance and it reminds me a little of the rituals orange body cream only not as strong. It works very well though :) I've tried wild and fussy and both at the end of the day my underarms were wet and a slight odour :-( the only thing that stops it getting a 5 star is the lid is a littke fiddly and really shouldn't be needing to jab a pen into it to open. A design flaw really for something so expensive. Also once rubbed in it is quite powdery and did get a little on my black top but overall im just happy that finally I've found something that stops me sweating. I've also bought a 5ml sample of the columbia Road one which is tiny but smells very much of violets :) like the daisy twinkle perfume or a nice M&S handcream. Again the lid is a little fiddly. With the 5ml you break the nozzle then put it back in upside down.

The product is really good, it keeps any smell away and its natural. But the packaging lets it down as it’s impractical. Once I got to about half way done, the bottom of the tube split open. From that point (with or without the split) it was incredibly hard to get the deodorant out. It needs a key to turn it or something. There will be a lot of wasted product in this tube and for the price I paid, I am not too pleased.

I suffer with hyperhydrosis, have done since being a teen (now late 30s) and have always struggled finding something that works. I settled with a 96hr antiperspirant but after a few years this is no longer working, and I'm at the age where I'm conscious of the aluminium. I was sweating and smelling by 9.30 in the morning and having to reapply multiple times. I've tried deodorants before but they've just never cut it. Having read the reviews I figured I had nothing to lose by trying this, and I'm so glad I did. I'm a week in and have not smelled of b/o once, despite being at work, dancing around the house with the kids, and lugging a toddle around who decided he didn't want to walk anymore on the school run. I have still sweat but nowhere near as much as I thought I would, and actually less than with the antiperspirant. It's been minimal. The first couple of days when I felt myself getting a little damp I was a bit paranoid so reapplied, but once I found the confidence I realised I really didn't have to. Yes it's a little grainy looking but it doesn't feel grainy, they're soft lumps that easily rub away into your skin. I also bought a key from here to help turn it, not the Akt brand, just a generic one for £4 and it really helps. Hopefully it will last a while then I will try another scent. Edit: it's expensive but has lasted me 8 weeks and that's applying twice in the early days until i built up the confidence to realise i really didn't need it as i didnt smell. I'm just about to try another scent. As it got hotter I tried a refillable antiperspirant (sold as the first of its kind) as well as my original antiperspirant and on both occasions I was sweaty but also started smelling, something I haven't once noticed whilst using AKT. I also feel like I was somehow sweating less with the balm than with the antiperspirant but I have no idea how that would work. Anyway, if you're unsure then it's worth a try.

It's OK, a very small tube and absolutely not worth paying the high price for, I won't be buying again. As for the scent.... Meh!

I love this deodorant- will be the third time i purchase it! Love it so much it smells super good but not too strong. And It also lasts a really long time. I party with this I go to the gym with this on and while it’s natural to sweat a little it works really well. Does leave a few white marks but not major. Only need to apply a little bit for it to work and applies great. I will say the one I bought this time around is quite oily like the oil leaks out from it which is a bit odd to me… but still works great!

Unfortunately, this didn't work for me. I am a very active person and use aluminium based antiperspirant twice weekly to get rid of bothersome sweat. I then usually use crystal deodorant under my arms after every shower. This product didn't work for me, and it has taken over a week for the armpit I trialled this on to be odor-free with alum. This is obviously very annoying as someone who runs every day and gyms 6+ times a week! I'm sure if you just want a deodorant to cover up smells and no antiperspirant at all, this might work okay as it does smell great, but for the active person, it sadly just doesn't hold up. I also got this delivered in winter, and it had popped because it was so cold and solid! Not ideal really, but I did get a refund from Amazon. [It took 6hrs to be soft enough to use after that!] I'm going back to alum crystal 🔮

I have had a lot of issues with deodorant either staining clothing or not working well throughout my day, this stuff is great! Smells amazing, it’s lightweight, and keeps things smelling fresh all day. I will be buying again.

I loved this product literally worked well If you are increasing the price you should do something on package as well This tube paking is horrible But product itself good enough

Reality is I stink more than conventional deodorants can manage for an entire day. This is the most only product that keeps me fresh from the time I put it on to when I shower end of day. Was hesitant about a cream but it’s actually better than any stick. Only complaint is if the tube is left open for a short time product will rapidly harden.

works great but is annoying to get out and apply. isnt oily

It’s the best! When I was pregnant anything I applied to my skin would irritate my skin. A friend told me about AKT and I decided to try it. It smells amazing and it works so well all day. Specially as a new mom I feel like my hormones and body is going crazy and nothing was working on my underarms but akt works great. No skin irritation, super fresh and it lasts a long time.
