Dr Teal'sDr. Eucalyptus Deodorant Gift Set (2 Pack, 2.65oz Ea.) - Eucalyptus Essential Oils with Shea Butter & Arrowroot Powder - Aluminum, Paraben, & Phthalate Free - Dermatologist Tested

This stuff works great. It’s not the easiest to apply as the stick is kind of hard, so you have to let the stick warm up and then work to apply it very generously. I sang its praises to my wife, who uses Secret, and she tried it for a while, but she said it didn’t work for her. The problem is that she tried to use it like Secret gel, just a quick zip-zip under the arms. With this stuff you really want to coat it on there, and it takes a little effort, going over the entire underarm and then going over it again. The up side to the hardness of the stick is that it lasts a long time. I don’t mean the odor protection, although that does last a long time, but the stick itself. Even though it feels like you’re using a lot of it, you’re not really, and I can make a stick last a month. I’ve tried other similar magnesium-based deodorants, like Crystal and Dr. Squatch. They’re softer and easy to apply, but they’re also nearly twice as expensive and the stick lasts less than half as long, probably about 10 days. Crystal didn’t work very well at all (it didn’t help that the scent itself smelled kind of like B.O.), but Dr. Squatch worked at least as well as Dr. Teal’s. The problem again with Dr. Squatch is cost and that the stick depletes too quickly. Dr. Teal’s is the one for me.

Love the smell and the protection

Dislike the inability to spread smoothly.

I love this stuff...I hope the Manufacturer is reading this....It is so HARD to put on...it does not spread good. I love it because it stays away from the aluminum and works and smells great...so I will deal with rubbing a brick under my arm. The company really needs to address this because it is an excellent product. It lasts a long time because it is so hard to put on.

I have very sensitive skin. This is the only deodorant that doesn’t give me a rash
