CRYSTAL Deodorant Magnesium Solid Stick Natural Deodorant, Non-Irritating Aluminum Free Deodorant, Safely and Effectively Fights Odor, Baking Soda Free, Coconut + Vanilla, 2.5 oz (Pack of 2), PINK

Both my teenage boys and myself are using this deodorant. It works great and has a nice smell for men or women. I'm very sensitive and have trouble finding a deodorant that works and doesn't cause a rash. This was a winner for all three of us. I also tried the charcoal scent and it was great but stained my bras grey, this one is white and didn't stain.

I have been using another magnesium deodorant for years. But that deodorant has nearly doubled in price recently, and I cannot justify paying $20 for ONE deodorant. So I took a chance and decided to use this. I was also taking a chance because I was going on a week long trip to Georgia, where the temps were projected to be in the 90’s (which it unfortunately was:( ). I am happy to say that this deodorant works! It does not contain baking soda ( which is great, because I am allergic), but somehow it still kept me smelling UNLIKE a shallot. Which is awesome for me and everyone around me! The scent of this deodorant is very light, so I did not mind it at all. I sweated a TON, but still did not stink. This doesn’t keep you from sweating, but does keep you from stinking.It did not leave a residue on any of my clothing, and my skin was super soft at the end of the sweaty week. It was easy to use, and applied very smoothly. It also seems like the container will last a long time, because you really do not use much each time. While it is still $10, it is natural, with much better ingredients than the commercial brands. I think I have found my new de-stinkifier!

I switched to Magnesium-based deodorants about 3-3.5 years ago. I've tried several brands which were too coarse to apply or just didn't spread/too dry or hard, but instead caked onto the armpits of my t-shirt (Schmidt's charcoal). I've tried some that just didn't work worth a darn (Native, Tom's, and the Walmart copy of Tom's, Every Man Jack). I've tried Arm & Hammer's aluminum free deodorant (no magnesium though) and it didn't last long enough. Didn't smell that great either. The Tom's brand really stinks, so "deodorant" is a misnomer. It should be called "odor replacer."I've tried Nfuse mountain scent, although it didn't smell like a mountain spring. It's strong in scent and seems to work really well, but it's a gel and you smell it all day. I wanted a stick deodorant that applied smoothly like the Dove anti-perspirant deodorant I used to wear. Like Crystal, NFuse is too expensive.Ultimately I landed on Ivory and their hint of aloe scent. It applies on your body with the same consistency as any other deodorant stick, it lasts for a long time, and it smells good without being too strong. Their coconut scent's not bad either. It was under $5/stick until Bidenomics/massive inflation took effect. I order the Ivory Hint of Aloe 4 packs here on Amazon for about $23.I stumbled across Crystal on Amazon and decided to give the charcoal & tea tree scent a try. The tea tree smell is a little strong at first; I prefer the charcoal scent portion more. It glides on easy and 28 hours later, I still don't have any underarm BO. It's been very effective and the scent is good. I'll go for a bike ride later today and really test it out.My only knock on this product is the price. At $14.32/stick, it's not affordable and there are much cheaper and very effective alternatives. It may not be as expensive as those deodorant sticks you buy at the department store that match your cologne/after shave, but still very pricey. Going through a stick per month, even with inflation, I can buy a year's supply of Ivory magnesium deodorant in 4 packs for just under $69, before taxes. A year's supply of Crystal is $169, before taxes. If they could get the price down to even $7-$8, I'd give them a 5* rating and use it daily.UPDATE: This stuff works the best of any magnesium deodorant I've tried but it's a poor value. I'm not going to spring $14.32/deodorant stick for Crystal when I can buy Ivory sticks for $5.75/stick. That's 60% less money for a product that's 90+% as effective, with only the added hassle of remembering to put your shirt on first to keep it from leaving streaks on your clothes.UPDATE 2: I still say Crystal makes the best, longest-lasting magnesium deodorant stick of all. My first application lasted 28+ hours. Unfortunately, like most deodorants, your body accommodates. I found the crystal charcoal scent on sale for $10/stick so I bought 2 more of them. I used it daily, and it only lasts about 7-8 hours now. You don't end up with a Pig-Pen cloud of BO around you, but if you smell your pits, they will smell sweaty. Most people won't get up in your pits, but when you lie down on the couch after coming home from work and your lady lies down with you, she probably doesn't want her face close to your sweaty-smelling pits. Like most non-antiperspirant deodorants, you have to apply it a second time during the day to be fully effective for 10-12 hours.

I’m super sensitive with smells and I love this smell on my husband! It’s not too strong and the smell lasts all day!

This is the worst deodorant I have ever tried. I am not new to natural deodorant I have tried a few. I am not that smelly a person even without deodorant, I usually only need to worry if I'm overly stressed or have been gardening. But this deodorant actually made me smell bad. It made my clothing smell bad and lingered. It has left residue and stains on my bras that has not yet washed out. It is a pain to scrub off my underarms in the shower.The scent of this deodorant is very strong in the applicator but does not smell like any combination of rosemary and lavender I have ever smelled and I regularly use essential oils of both. The smell does linger and turns bad and miserable after only a couple hours.Thr cheap plastic came broken. I tried to fix the screw base but it just cracked all the way and I had to store it upside down. Don't bother with this deodorant.

I have been searching for the perfect aluminum free deodorant for forever. That’s the only kind I use. I was hopeful this would hold up in the “fall” Texas 90+ degree weather but it does not. It goes on smooth, smells nice- not too strong, but even with a double application- I smell. I will keep it in my arsenal of others that have failed, but maybe it’ll be fine for winter.

My family loves this deodorant. My son, age 7, is already struggling with body odor. I was shocked but I knew I had to address the issue. Found this product and have been very pleased. Works great on his BO and we’ve had zero issues with irritation. Long lasting and a good value for the price. Haven’t had any problems with residue or leaving stains either.

As others have said it will only last about half a day. Otherwise it works well, smells good. However the biggest issue is the deceptive size. The product only fills about a fifth of the container if that. Wasteful and predatory marketing in my opinion.
