I have been using lume for about 3 months now and I love it I just recently about a month ago started using the soap I will not use anything other than the lume soap it makes your skin feels so soft almost like silk and I have noticed that I do not sweat as much using it anywhere I've been using the tangerine and I also use the unscented below the belt because I am very sensitive to certain things I break out very easily so the soap is so amazing I absolutely love it and I think if you have not tried it it's worse a try it lathers up like no other soap I have ever used
@@donnasnyder9677 I would rather you “soap “ than synthetics on my body, not my face though, but I also only expect it to cleanse my skin, some times of the year when it is dry out I cannot use it but I want to. 😅 Soap will not moisturize , soften, smooth, reduce sweating, anti-aging, or any other advertising hook. The pH is too high during the process for any of these ingredients to survive the saponification process. The pH is high in ALL products labeled “soap” 9.0-11.0 and our skin is 4.5- 5.6 pH so it is very alkaline and harsh for some people with a dry sensitive skin. You cannot make soap moisturizing by adding extra oils or whatever because it changes the integrity of it and it may be formulated into something else but soap is cleansing. Very cleansing so it might be a plus for people who use natural deodorants. I am not kicking Lume, just letting people know what they can expect from it.
Hey look in to Dr Mist! It's dead sea salt it works amazing as a deodorant and it can cut down sweat and kills bacteria without "building up" in the system and causes other weird smells. Works for 12 to 24 hours too.
sweat is natural, it's a shame people think we shouldn't sweat which is how our body rids itself of toxins. don't get me started on how terrible antiperspirants are.
@@mvelasquez3333 hey try the Schmidts hemp seed oil deodorant, it is amazing! I tried lume and it didn't work, but the Schmidts have a really nice smell and I haven't smell any bad odor since I've been using it! I highly recommend it!
You can't get rid of sweat 😂 stupid ass 😂 thats alwats gona be there were humans lol sweat is for taken out things like sickness and other things if you dont sweat then you need water in your body and youll faint idk lol but yeh this product is js for oder ODER
@@Solarlifeoffgrid I think they just mean that because an antiperspirant clogs your pores so that your armpits can’t actually sweat. The rest of your body can though. A deodorant stops the odor. And an antiperspirant stops the actual sweat from forming on your skin because it clogs the pores
Thanks for taking the time to post another video! Lume actually works a bit differently and is not an antibacterial product. Lume creates a protective barrier on your skin that prevents bacteria from digesting bodily fluids that lead to odor. This allows both the bacteria and bodily fluids to hang out on our skin, but Lume prevents the odor-causing reaction from happening. We have found that clothing plays a huge role in the level of odor control you receive since Lume does not mask odor. We do always recommend pre-treating your clothing with an enzyme spray like Nature's Miracle to ensure you are working with a clean slate when beginning your journey with Lume. Certain fibers (man-made) can accelerate the BO process and benefit from continuing treatment after each wear. Everyone's body is different so it is a matter of finding out what works well for you. 😊
@@yvetvasan Lumē does not kill bacteria, it just creates a barrier on the skin so your bacteria can no longer digest your bodily fluids, which is what produces odor. 😊
I've been using Lume for a while now and even have my husband switched too. We have found this stuff works great for us. I know not everything works for everyone but for us, it is working better than we ever expected!! I can't say enough good about Lume!!!!!
All I know is that I use to date a chic and her private part straight up smelt like some DOOKIE! I'm talking bout some straight up bile movement. Some open shit at that. But after LUME that shit was GONE!!!
Lume worked for me for a while and then stopped working. I don’t believe it’s reasonable to expect to get 72 hours out of it at all. My first purchase worked great and I bought a sample pack for myself and my daughter to try the scents and it wasn’t effective anymore. I think it is expensive but I would still purchase if it worked for me. What I don’t like about the company is that they wouldn’t post my honest review, it was true and fair and 3 stars but they only have 5 star reviews on the site. Thank you for the review, it is very informative.
I think it's best to maybe use a few days a week when you plan on being most active. Take a few days without using it to let your body get rid of the ingredients that built up so it will continue to work when you most need it to. I'm thinking alternating feminine wipes and lume may be better? Just a thought. I think I might try it that way.
@@nooneatnowhere I don't mean to sound gross but I have a super deep belly button and I call it a smelly button! Well I used to until Lume. Yes, even after the shower, thank goodness, because I'm not a fan of the scent I bought. The 1st time I used it I thought I'd put it to the test and put just a tiny drop in my belly button and holy cow even 3 showers later it was completely fine? That's amazing! Gross but amazing 🤣 My son's feet were enough to clear a room but not anymore. We thought maybe we had covid and lost our smell but thank goodness it was Lume doing it's job 😄
I'll never go back to drug store deodorants after using Lume. I used to have such strong feminine odor and it made me so self conscious. Lume has changed my life. I'm much more confident and Ive been using it for over a year. It has never failed me. ❤️
I love LUME!! IT WORKS FOR ME TOO A LOT!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!❤️ MY Life HAS CHANGED TREMENDOUSLY 🥰 I NO LONGER GET BOILS ANYMORE UNDERNEATH MY ARMS! AND I DEFINITELY DO NOT STINK!! NO MORE DEGREE OR ANY MORE DEPARTMENT STORE DEODORANTS FOR ME! 🙂
I don't mind some of that fishy 🐟 odor from you when I'm down there!!!! But not too much or your jumping in the shower!!!! Also shave it butter smooth!!! 🤣
I'm wondering how you can stand the smell of it. It literally smells like B.O., which is ironic. That smell never goes away. It's gross. I'm so confused how anyone can like it.
@@chasingdharmaify Yes, that's true. But this product smells like BO even in the container. Yours doesn't? I've seen dozens and dozens of comments saying the same thing. I'm so confused.
I am one of those that had to stop using Lume after a few months because my clothes had such a horrible smell that I had to throw them out. I didn't like the smell out of the tube, but it didn't smell bad on my skin and it did keep my skin smell free. However, the stink from the clothing and in my shoes (I used it on my feet as well) was horrible. I tried pretreating the armpit and crotch areas with enzyme spray, I fully washed with BacOut, I "stripped" my clothes, etc. It was the grossest smell I've ever had. I've used natural deodorants for 20+ years and have never had this happen before. I appreciate this video that helps me understand why it didn't work for me.
My son and I had the same issues. We followed the instructions and still we smelled so bad. It took a couple weeks to get rid of the smell. Funny no negative comments on FB
It stinks. They're tips dont work. It stinks out the tube or if you sniff the tube ,so the theory about the skin and chemistry is kinda inapplicable here with lume. It's funky! I wanted to love it and wish I could make up something similar (that can be used on various parts) , but looking forward to when another company does😊. I can deal with doesn't smell great,but it smells BAD!!!
@@tinaj9621 I agree. I wanted to love it but the only one that smells good is Lavender sage and they dont work very well, not even 8 whole hrs. The peony rose stinks so bad! The wipes sting my skin. Summer's eve products smell better, last longer and is not as expensive
@ceceoo3 oh really, the peony stinks too. Bummer. I was considering giving that a shot. Sigh. I just ordered a 3rd tube a few wks ago (this time it was the toasted coconut) its a no for me. Stinks. The peony bar 🧼 soap smelled decent though (i bought that for my bf daughter to try). But I'm also looking for a deodorant and like the idea of the tube being able to be applied everywhere 🤷🏽♀️ sigh.
The reason it stops working isn’t because of buildup on the body. Mandelic acid doesn’t build up on skin, it breaks down skin because it acts as a chemical exfoliant. It is also water soluble so it washes away very easily from the skin. The reason it stops working for some people is because the “demographics” of the microbiome of your armpit is shifting and the bacteria that are less affected by the mandelic acid are predominant. To fix this you basically have to “reset” your microbiome by either not using a deodorant product for a week or two (varies a lot from person to person) or switching temporarily to an aluminum-based product. Other “natural” deodorants aren’t a good option because they usually contain essential oils, baking soda, or other PH disrupters that will only make your stinky bacteria happier in the long run, especially if you have sensitive skin prone to inflammation. Using alcohol-free baby wipes throughout the day or micellar water to rinse your armpits on your lunch break might also help during your “reset” week. It’s possible that consuming less carbohydrates, more leafy greens, and more anti-inflammatory foods will also help support hormonal function that could make your skin less friendly to stinky microbes. Avoid inflammatory ingredients like alcohol and fried foods. Drink more ginger tea. Probiotics might also help. Everyone is different, though.
A child can’t process protein and therefore needed meds to help. The meds made her smell like a rotting fish, nothing worked to mask the smell. The teacher couldn’t have her in her classroom, someone sent her Lume and she tried it on herself first. She tried it on her daughter and was amazed that this horrible smell from meds was gone. You can imagine what this did for her sweet child. So far this is the best story regarding Lume.
I have used Lume’s products for almost 2 years. I find it AMAZING. I prefer it for my feet and private areas. I still use my antiperspirant under arms, as I feel the same. I hate that clammy feeling under my arms. But as far as “personal odor,” it’s the BOMB!! I think their customer service is incredible.
My understanding is that you are still supposed to use a traditional antiperspirant under your arms if you are a sweat-er, and put the Lume around the armpit area to help more. But ultimately the product was designed for genital areas (and toes and belly buttons for some) where people don't typically put antiperspirant. I think too many people are spending too much time discussing armpits with this product.
I ordered the sample pack. Because I wanted to smell all the flavors I let my friend use some. She was so impressed that she bought some for herself. I ended up buying the unscented bundle. My husband doesn't stink when he uses it. I will admit that it doesn't control the wetness.. but it doesn't stain my white shirts. I'm willing to deal with wetness if I don't stink. It works for Down below very well. I used to use Arm and Hammer Aluminum free deodorant and it just masked the smell like a perfume. So I am happy with Lume. I like the fact also that you can use as a lotion which will help me rub it on stinky feet
Best thing for wetness is proper undergarments, which women have been told to ditch for years thanks to fashion. But the real secret to long lasting *clothes* is wearing a sweat wicking cotton undergarment between your skin and daily clothing whenever possible. As someone who has battled hyperhidrosis since single digits, I can attest that nothing short of medical intervention or chemical application will affect how your body perspires. It sucks, but science isn't there yet.
Natural deodorant tip: for the summer, spring heat or workouts pair your deodorant with a natural powder to absorb the sweat & keep you fresh. I use Garner's Garden talc free powder.
I have used Secret Unscented Gel and it works great. I can even go a couple of days without reapplying even when I shower. I also use Dove unscented antibacterial soap. I would like to try this product however to see how it is.
@@marikiemarie7622 not if you use just enough and you have to rub it in. I use it under my breasts because if it gets wet under there it will begin to smell. I don't mind sweating I mind stinking so I just ordered 2 sets of Lume today. One for me and for my housemate.
Thank you for this video! I am in the process of shopping around right now and trying to find the right natural deodorant for me. Although you said that we're all different and the only way to know what works on us is to try, your info pretty clearly told me this is not the one for me. And that's useful info as I can skip over Lume now and go on to the next. It was the part about mandelic acid being prevalent in Lume. At my age, if I know one thing about my skin is that ANYTIME, I use any ingredient that has the word "acid" in it, my skin is going to BURN. By now, I've pretty well tried every one you could think of in face washes and creams. Even if the ingredient is way at the bottom of the list. It never fails to happen. If it says the work "acid" my skin will feel like it's burning. My skin is pretty sensitive that way. And I know FOR SURE to that AHAs never fail to do this to me. Personally though, deodorants are fine for me. I dont get that wet naturally All I want it to do is to prevent odor, and hopefully to have a pretty scent that lasts all day long. I dont personally need much else from a deodorant. I tried new one yesterday and it made pits feel TOO dry, which did not feel good. So now I know I should skip over Lume and go on to the next one. That info was really useful to me. 👍
Oh man. I loved it from the beginning. My husband pointed out that it had a booty smell to it. Smh. But he wasn't wrong. I went through a few disregarded events. Landed on the toasted coconut. That booty smell was very hidden. The problem I came to was indeed the fact that after a few weeks, I actually smelled like fresh onion. It was crazy. Unexpected. I'm not opposed to giving them another shot. And I see they've reinvented it in some way.... when it worked, it really worked. I wasn't tripping on what he called, booty, cuz that went away after a few minutes. If like to find one that just does it for me. Though I'm not subscribed, I'm still using what I've got.... and it's a lot
I tried Lume for a couple of weeks. It was just ok for me. I got the Lavender Sage scent, which I thought was pleasant. The smell disappears in about 30 minutes. I don’t sweat much, but the clammy feeling under my arms was a deal breaker for me. Plus it’s too expensive.
Failed for me. Right out of the shower I read & followed instructions. First it had a smell that I wasn't crazy about to begin with. 24hrs later. My armpits smelled worse than they've ever smelled before
She said that, many times. She uses also language that is conducive to that point she needs an anti perspirant, many people don’t understand that there is a difference between an anti perspirant and deodorant she even said she hopes they create an anti Perspirant in the future
It works amazingly well for me and I am soooo happy! When I developed PCOS symptoms my body odor went form non-existent to VERY strong and now I feel so fresh and don’t stink at all :).
That is the issue I am having, just ordered Lume and hoping for the best outcome. If my body would reject it, I would smell so bad I would never be able to leave my home.
0:55 “perfume smells great on some people and atrocious on somebody else” My mother-in-law uses Chanel No. 5 (probably since the 50’s) and she smells like an nursing home with it on.
Been using Lume for 2 months now (unscented version). Well, it has stopped working! I recently started getting that sour onion underarm smell again. I began suspecting that my shirts were the cause, thinking that the residual smell from older shirts was the culprit (that smell is hard to wash out). So I went out and bought new white undershirts and started experimenting. It’s my pits that are causing the smell after just one wearing from new and washed! If anything I over apply Lume so there is no under-application to blame! On a side note, I have noticed that the unscented I use has only three holes for products to be dispensed from compared to the videos I’ve seen of scented ones that have a dozen or so holes. Really thought I’d won the fight over stinky pits and frustrated yet again that I’ve got to search for something new for the 15 or 16 time! I don’t mind sweating! I just hate the stink that my warm pits start exuding half way through my day.
Try AOS: Art Of Sport. It comes in deodorant and an antiperspirant. I've only used the aluminum free all natural deodorant and it's amazing!! I used to sweat a lot and had to use Certain Dry every night but now I'm free if that hassle!! I'd seriously try it, the shit is awesome and it smells even better. I use Victory but others say the other scent's are great too. I believe they started selling it at Target but you can also get it at Amazon. But be careful if you want an all natural product do you want the deodorant and not the antiperspirant, The antiperspirant has aluminum in it but the deodorant does not. I hope you love it too!! Lmk is it with for you. I'm there only person I know that uses it so if love to hear what others have to say about it.
Just use Gel Antiperspirant and deodorant. Natural deodorants WILL NOT WORK. If your pits are that bad you cannot use natural deodorant. Watch Dr. Dray on TH-cam about Natural Deodorant.
Lume saved my life no lie - I have Hyperhydrosis and brohimdrosis .. lume was my last resort and it’s definitely been a game changer for me - I hope it continues to work🙏🏾
I have been using lume for several months now. I am so amazed at the odor control of this deodarant. Only problem I have now, that I didn't have before, is the sweating. My underarms stay wet, but without odor.
I haven't used deodorant for 3 months already I make my own just mixing coconut oil and baking soda, literally the only thing that actually kept me from smelling. BUT The only negative thing is that it stains my clothes sadly I had to throw them away. So I decided to give Lume a try and I love it. I dont like the smell of it but as long as I don't smell and doesn't stain my clothes I'm more than happy . To me it did work 👍
I developed an allergic reaction. It gave me what looked acne spots, just two or three under each armpit. The spots would not heal or go away. I stopped using the deodorant and the spots turned into small dark almost chemical burn like spots at site were the “acne” spots were. They haven’t gone away even after months. Initially it was great, the reaction took about six weeks. It may just be my reaction to it.
I've been using lume as deodorant for my underarms since march and have experienced no adverse effects. It works just as well now as it did initially. It's the best deodorant I've ever used for odor control. I don't sweat profusely but do notice the moisture so Idk if i can use it when I go back to work because of sweat marks on my clothes. I'm glad it hasn't stopped working for me and will use it for the foreseeable future.
The sweat stains on like white shirts actually is caused by the antiperspirant. Once I quit using antiperspirant I didn't have those marks. And honestly, antiperspirant doesn't stop my pits from sweating anyway so it really just doesn't make sense for me personally to continue putting aluminum on my skin which ultimately absorbs into the body.
Thanks for your review. I do agree with products that are for the body it all depends on your body composition which is all different. I ordered The Unscented Bundle to see if will work. Won't know until I try. Thanks again.
Not only is this about body chemistry and the type of clothing you wear; most importantly, clothing needs to be pretreated with an enzyme (pits/crotch and socks).
I wear all natural fibers, pre treated with enzymes before washing, “stripped” the fabrics as suggested and still a horrible stink took over. I Tried everything to get it out of the fabrics, and then ended up throwing things out. Lume worked great for me for many months until the stinky clothes issue. I won’t ever use it again.
Lume works i tried the bar saop and after i used it i smelled like nothing . im not going to lie i was skeptical at first because of the negative reviews but all i can say is it worked for me . i love it and its my new go to saop.
I’m glad you were honest about no longer using it. I put it on and let it dry for a bit and prefer it especially during the winter. We shall aww how it works in summer. Absolutely love their customer service
I have used ALTERNATIVE deodorants & NO NO NO Antiperspirants for 30+ years. I used 20+ years a crystal stone that I would wet and swipe and it always removed STINK but not the sweating. Sweating is a good thing so we need to get used to our clothes being damp because that is natural and good for our lymphatic system PERIOD. I LOVE LUME! It is the first product I use on all parts including my groin and honestly it has made me feel so much better knowing I do not smell bad anywhere! THANKS Lume!
SO PROUD OF YOU!! 🥰🥰🥰 I am a chemist 👩🔬 I am a new Lume user & just watched your 2019 video (and, commented.) The long term effects for me remain to be seen. Glad you realized Lume is just a deodorant & not an anti-perspirant. I need a deodorant since menopause 🥴 BIG TIME!!!! Coincidentally, my perspiration lessened with Lume. I LOVE THE SOAP - the lime is GOAT! FYI - perspiring is your bodies way of regulating its self. So allow yourself to perspire. Instead of trying not to perspire, figure out what makes you perspire and alter that. For me, I look at a staircase and start sweating. I have one of those conditions that I sweat a lot. I hate it. But it is what it is. But just remember that we sweat because we have to. It’s what your body needs to do at that time. And as my mother always said, “ladies don’t sweat, they glisten.“ Just make sure you have on some pretty good waterproof make up. *** so far, I only have to apply Lume twice per week. So it still is worth smelling like a rotting dead squirrel for 12 to 16 hours. I’m hoping they figure out how to get rid of that smell. I’ve noticed in older reviews people don’t complain about that smell. So there must be some component that’s causing that smell to leech out. And since many of the reviews I’ve read people are smelling this stench right out of the container then we all know it’s not related to the body chemistry. Or maybe after certain pair of time it starts smelling. So the shelflife may not be what they think it is. Who knows. Science experiments can be so much fun, lol. But I ordered the complete unscented collection. And it was rank stank. I returned it and I got the tri-it sized sampler of the two deodorants. The only one I liked was the line. I also ordered four soaps. The only soap I liked was the lime. All the others the rotting roadkill smell was too much. I also ordered the wipes. I’m I am not impressed with them. They don’t smell like roadkill. But they don’t smell good either. They aren’t very thick, which is good for plumbing. But I don’t flush my wipes anyway. But they fall apart, easily. One does not want their finger breaking through, if you know what I mean. And one’s finger broke through. No Bueno! If the wipes were priced comparable to Cottonelle, for example, then I wouldn’t be offended. But at $15 per pack, very offended. They should be much better quality
@@addicted367 I have made a schedule to use it an night & I have a dedicated set of Lume PJs & panties 😂😂😂 I found that using the new Febreeze blue jug stuff with my Tide, bleach and sanitize cycle in the wash load that the smell comes out… a bit extreme BUT IT WIRKS IF YA WORK IT 👌🏼 I’m not giving up on Lume
It smells awful and you have to be paid off or unable to smell, to think it doesn't. I'd compare the smell to yak cheese. I tried Tangerine and Unscented deodorant sticks and all the Sun And Sand deodorant tubes (Lavender, Jasmine, Tangerine, Coconut, Vanilla) and all of them have the same unpleasant smell. The 'warm vanilla' soap smells exactly like Play Doh. None of the scents smell like what they are described to be. It does NOT stop sweating. Wearing it, is awful because you have to constantly smell it everywhere you go.
@@MommaBeiler My comment was directed at the person stating every scent smells awful and people who say otherwise are paid off. That person likely already smells funky and is trying to mask their funk! The scents do not stink from the tube. Also, they are deodorants, not antiperspirants. Certain Dri is the best antiperspirant.
Okaaaaay Mama. Thank you for this literal DREAM of a post. Articulate, tactful, yet detailed enough to help me arrive at my own conclusion for me. You are so careful to educate on your personal cons while praising this company's service excellence standard. Nice work. Ty.
People shouldn’t put it inside. It’s not suppose to sink into the skin which is a good reason for the molecules to be too large for absorption. But it could be some people’s bodies also don’t work with the various essential oils. I say start with the unscented deodorant and maybe try the soaps in the scents. Go to the website and read the ingredients for yourself and like she said, everyone is different. For me the aluminum salts are causing rashes and causing issues even though they work. But The doctor said as we age we can build up intolerance to aluminum salts which is what keeps us dry. You don’t want to use cornstarch because that can start a yeast overload - it feeds yeast. And baking soda didn’t work well either - caused abrasions. Also, your health can govern the smells. Back 20 years ago when I started with liver disease I had to stop using all perfumes, many lotions, it seemed that no matter what I used, the toxicity of the liver just gave my skin a bad smell and interacted with everything I used. It was so disappointing that I couldn’t use what I had used for decades. But that was the deal I got handed. Certainly diabetes can change skin scent and urine smells too. As can asparagus, and other foods including certain spices. I have some lotions I can use now finally but perfumes are still an issue. I have been thinking about trying some of the naturally expelled/extracted perfumes - no chemicals and no alcohol. They are expensive - might even try to find one of the shops that makes a scent just for you. Again… please check the Lume website and the unscented to start with. That way you can accurately judge whether it works or not before adding another scent to the panel.
Oh. I never used it the for the same reasons. I'm not using it for my armpits or because it's more natural. Although I wish it worked as an antiperspirant. As a busy nurse, who's sweating and moving for long shifts, I've loved it for other areas. I've been using about two years. Fortunately, it hasn't changed its effectiveness for me. Thanks for the great info!
Lume works for me. My bodies chemistry usually makes everything smell good and enhanced. I love the coconut/pineapple, and unscented. The berry one I tried first, and didn't like the scent, so I switched to coconut/pineapple, and am totally satisfied. I've been using Lume for 6 months now. The commercials are the absolute best!!
I stopped using aluminum based deodorant years ago. I started to smell a lot about a year ago, another fun side effect of old age, ha ha. I bought Lume about two weeks ago and so far it’s working very well. I actually don’t get very wet under my arms, so I hope it continues to work. Thanks for your honest review. I feel like the money that I spent on the one bottle that I have was well spent. If it stops working after a few weeks, I guess I’ll just go back to the other one that I was using. However, so far so good with Lume.
I have been wearing Lume for the last 7 months and I love it. I have had very strong body odor (underarms) since I was around 6 years old (yes 6!) My mother and grandmother tried everything natural they could find to help me, but nothing worked. Eventually my mother gave me secret deodorant and it worked until I reached the age of 17. At seventeen it would only work maybe 4 hours a day. I would have to take multiple wash-ups through the day and reapply deodorant so that wouldn't smell. I started spending a lot of money on every deodorant I could find (including mens deodorant). I really wanted to find something that would work on my odor for at least 24 hours. Now I'm in my early 40s and I started taking 2 showers a day and 1-2 wash-ups a day, applying degree deodorant to keep my sweating and odor down. Lume is the first deodorant I've found that keeps me from smelling for at least 48 hours. It definitely changed my life. I use it also in my pubic area and no matter how much I may sweat somedays, I never have an odor. I'm praying that my body doesn't adjust to it and cause it to stop working.
I have been using Lume everywhere for about 4 mos. It is just now not working as well under my arms. No really super funky smells but I just notice I'm a little musty after about 6-8 hours and have to reapply. I'm going to switch to another natural product for underarms for awhile and go back to it. It still works everywhere else like a charm.
Goodness, this is ridiculous. No, acid is not “building up in your body.” It could be that the product is discouraging certain bacteria from proliferating on the skin while allowing other bacteria which are more acid-tolerant to take over, which could be just as smelly or even smellier than the original bacteria.
Thanks for taking the time to give a great honest break down. I use Lume and am very happy with it. It is the only product I've used that doesn't break me out or create a buildup that actually ends up creating more odor. I am very sensitive and feel good about the ingredients and company. However, it does not control all of my underarm stink. It does control odor in other parts of my body and works great for my husband. I noticed that it was at certain times that it didn't work. I have discovered from my doctor that bacteria is only one of the causes of odor. Since starting menopause, there is a new underarm odor at certain times that nothing takes care of. NOTHING. And my doctor said to stop looking because nothing will work on that odor. It isn't from bacteria. I have started using shields when I notice it starting so I can a least not ruin my cloths. There is also truth to nervous sweet having it's own odor which also has nothing to do with bacteria. So I find it effective and feel good about the ingredients, but it isn't a one size fits all miracle cure for odor.
I am so glad you posted this. I am 68 years old so you can imagine I might be interested to hear about things that happened during menopause. A lot of doctors and people in general just don’t know that much about sweat and BEO and women. I think that’s a shame. I still haven’t tried this deodorant yet because I want to get little samples instead of big ones to try different scents.
I first used Lume a couple of years ago. I didn’t like the color or texture, but I loved how it worked at keeping odors away. I preferred the unscented. Then, I noticed the packaging changed and so did the color and texture of product. A big fail, for me. I reached out to company and was told that in order to make it a “clean beauty” product, they removed PEG-100 and two other ingredients. Well, now it’s just as worthless to me as every other so-called clean, natural junk out there. This may be TMI, but my underarms smelled worse than ever. I couldn’t get a half day in, let alone their claim of 48 hours or so. Back to DK Cashmere Mist. Oh, Lume did offer to refund my purchase less $5 and $1 for each additional return. I had already trashed the bundle I bought though. To those who like the product, I do envy you.
Lume WORKS!!! I’ve never been self conscious ever using it. There’s zero smell at all. The problem I have however, is that bc there’s no antiperspirant as others have said, you def sweat. I wouldn’t care but I get chub rub aka heat rash, irritation or whatever you want to call it. Which then means I have to use a second product to treat that bc it’s UBER painful. Sooo all that to say I STILL USE IT bc IT WORKS but less so in the summer. I’m in Florida and I have to have an antiperspirant in the dog days of summer. So I swap it out during that time with clinical strength secret free & sensitive. Don’t love Secret bc u have to scrub to get it off ur skin but that’s the deal. 🤷🏻♀️ there’s just no perfect product out there it seems.
Thank you for the information. Something I tried that helped with odor and perspiration and is all natural: Alvera- Aloe & Almond All Natural Roll-on Deodorant. It works great for me. Went hiking and no sweat and really no odor. My daughter didn’t like so just as you said, each person is different. I like the Lume but developed a rash after several applications.
Thank you for this video. It is intelligent and that is what I wanted. Honest and informed! Have decided not to use it because of the use of the word "clammy". UGH!
But that might be because she was sweats a lot. I’m literally using it right now and I’m not really a sweaty person and it’s doing just fine. People need to put it on kind of like lotion instead on your under arms or anywhere not just Rub it there. It looks like lotion and comes out like that so it really makes no sense to just roll it on. Might be different for you. I’m not clammy over here.
My experience with Lume: My sister got me a bottle of Lume for Christmas. I tried it several times. Here's what happened every time: 1) Applied Lume. No odor! Yay! 2) By the end of the day, the area where the Lume was applied broke out in a red, super-itchy rash. 3) Washed off the Lume and let my skin calm down. 4) After a few days, the area where the skin had rashed up started peeling. The skin sloughed off in the shower. I'm clearly having an allergic reaction to something in the Lume, whether it's the active ingredient or something else, so I'm not using it any more.
I went through the same thing but mine happened after using it for a long period of time. I had to pause heal up the use again on special occasions. Sorry that happened to you but im glad to know i wasn't the only one.
I love Lume! My daughter tried out for one of their commercials is how I heard about it. It works on odor great, but agree it doesn't get you dry. I did notice it was changing from no odor to a very different odor after awhile, glad you mentioned that and how it happens. Grateful it's working again now though because I'm not comfortable with blocking my sweat pores and becoming toxic with aluminum.
I tried the soap, but it dried out my skin. I do use the deodorant , but found that during high stress days, it only lasts for about 4 hours. It works great for lazy days though.
@@catapillargirl2021 The first week it was awesome but after a couple weeks of trying it I started smelling in my pits so I just gave it a couple more days to see if it would work and it still wasn't working so I decided to return it. I was using the no scent one. Hopefully, that's more specific :)
@@maggiebarlow8068 I think you may have needed to consider trying to change up soap or check your clothes. I noticed when I went to certain clothes I hadn't worn for a while that I was picking up a scent again. I changed detergents and started heavily pre-treating, and realized some clothes just needed to be thrown away because it's the clothes that were holding the smell, even after months of washing. Having a background in technical theatre, I know that it's a reality that some fibers will hold smells permanently, and transfer that smell to skin.
@@maggiebarlow8068 it didn't work for me either. I did everything the website said including buy new shirts. I've only used natural deodorant. Unfortunately with everything being closed I cannot return this to Amazon .So I'm eating the $20 🤦
I've been using it for about a week and love it. I was concerned about sweating, since it isn't an antiperspirant, but haven't come across that issue yet. Update: I've found that some of my shirts caused odor. Got some Nature's Miracle Stain & Odor Remover to pretreat the underarms before tossing them in the laundry bin.
I'm going to put this simple. If you take an appetite suppressant supplement, it's your intention to eat less. If you seek out lume products, it's your intention to bathe less. Therefore, it's likely most people don't have a body odor problem, but a proper and consistent bathing problem. Also, I think baths are supreme. But you don't just soak. You stand up thoroughly bathe, sit down to soak, stand up again, thoroughly bathe and sit down to soak for the final time. That's how you take a bath. If you just sitting in there like your doing a commercial and never bathing. You're just wet and dirty afterward. A lot of people were not raised properly on how to bathe and differences in cultures play a role as well. No woman should be under the impression that a shower is suffice for her. You have equipment on the inside as opposed to men's equipment on the outside. You got to soak! All the women have been involved with were extremely clean women and their primary method of bathing was always....always a bath.
I had been using Lume since Feb 2021, wipes and deodorant daily. It worked great until the past 2-3 months I noticed I had an unfamiliar loud odor. Generally my underarm stink always just smelled like most people when they sweat, kinda musty; then my smell down there was a normal feminine smell unless I did something to make me sweat like going to the gym. So when this random odor showed up and it smelled the same above and below the belt I was like what the heck? Right after showering I'm good but if I get warm at all throughout the day then the odor is back as if I just ran a sweaty marathon. I stopped using Lume last month when I realized it likely had something to do with it but didn't understand how. I thought today maybe my pH was off or something but didn't have full understanding of pH aside from feminine pH. I also didn't know Lume was acidic either. Glad I found this video as it helps confirm my suspicions. Now I have to figure out how to get things rebalanced back to my normal smell I had before using Lume. Really wish I knew all this beforehand but you live and learn I guess. Thanks for the video
Thank you so much for explaining the science behind the product. I used Kosa deodorant (uses mandelic acid) and it worked for the 1st week then i noticed my armpits smelling worst.
@@iamlove5325 I never tried the Lume brand. But I used so many other Aluminum free deodorants and they all stopped working for me. Check out Dr. Dray video about Aluminum free deodorants. She recommended using a Benzoyl Peroxide wash for the armpits. It reduces the bacteria 🦠 in the armpit which leads to bad odors. She explains it all. I highly recommend checking her video out. So to answer your question yesss my armpit did recover.
Lime is not for covering up odor, it works as a preventative to odor. I gave it a 10 out of 10. I’ve been using it for 3 years. I ride on a motorcycle for hours upon end in 90 degree weather and it has never disappointed me. I want to scream it’s wonders from the rooftops. LADIES PLEASE GIVE THIS A TRY.
I used lume for many months. I used the deodorant stick, whole body deodorant, the soap bars triple milled , acidified soap bar, and the acidified body wash multiple times. Personal the acidified soap bar is too expensive and didn't work well for smells and isn't lathering enough. The whole body deodorant and deodorant stick work really well. Except I notices that after a while my armpits smelled worse so I switched back to regular deodorant that helped. And the body wash and triple milled soap bar work really well for removal of smell and maintaining fresh all over body.
Yeah lume worked for me at first and I’ve been using it for about 5 months. For the past month, it hasn’t been working for me and I smell even worse than I did before I began using lume. Not even an hour passes after I apply lume and I already stink. I’m looking for suggestions for other deodorants.
I use native for about a year for me works perfect I love it!! I tried different brands but most of them I get itchy but not native 😊 I'm reading the reviews because this product got my attention because supposedly I can use it down there 😬
I enjoyed your reviews for Lume.I love their ads.I'm a fan.I've decided to order Lume(yesterday).You had a very thorough and detailed explanation of the product and I appreciate you for it. Thank you very much. 😁
If Mandalic Acid alters PH level in order to get rid of odor causing “bacteria”... What could be happening is the LUME is getting rid of “Good Bacteria” on the skin which can then open up the door for “YEASTS & FUNGUSES” to proliferate and multiply. I tried LUME, I have a Candida problem myself which causes me a lot of extra odor since I became ill with it. And I can tell you that LUME’ didn’t even make a dent in the odor between my toes. As for my armpits, they didn’t smell like my usual stinky Body Odor, however they did smell MUSTY. Another reviewer said the same and I was like what does she mean “musty”? Well, after I got the product and tried it, I had a “MUSTY” odor 12-24 hours after applying. It was gross. The reviewer that mentioned “MUSTY” also has since reviewed “Hudson Pure”. She said it blew the LUME away. I then bought the Hudson Pure and I am blown away. It works!
I just started using it and I work 16 hour shifts, but it really worked for my personal areas. No odor after running around like a loon for 16 plus hours
I think you are right. This work for some, and doesn't work for others. Sure, it doesn't work for me. I bought the sample pack out of Amazon, and I am very disappointed because I can't return it - almost $30 to the trash. So the sample pack are 5 tubes that is supposed to be for body and pits. They have a terrible sulfate smell, and they do not prevent the smell. I think I have never stuck so much. I am glad I am working from home otherwise I'd embarrassed.
Hi, Ms. Arlen. I agree with you on Lume's smell. I bought the unscented tubes, and they smell as you stated. I thought more like cheese, but I definitely agree.
@@mirandaquinnn Hahahahahaha!! Ms. Arlen, you're something else. When you said you never had stunk so much, I died laughing. Look, I'm trying to use it on the vaginal area, and I do not want to smell like cheese and grits down there. Huuuuuuuuuggg.
I love lumé, I've been using it for years. It honestly changed my life because after using is for a month my armpits are no longer as stinky WITHOUT DEORDERANT! The only small issue I have is that I shave my armpits at least twice a week so rubbing the acidic lumé on my pits does start to burn after a couple months and I have to use a natural/aluminum free deorderanr for a few days
I really love lumee! After months of ads and hilarious videos that I could unfortunately relate to... I purchased and will continue to fight B.O. with lumee ❤️ ps had my BF smell my pits after a particularly strenuous and 94* day and he said he “smelled nothing”
If it fights against bacteria by changing ph lvls, then it is only a matter of time before some strains will become resistant if it is being used all the time. Exposure leads to resistance.
Lume makes me smell like a homeless person..and just threw them all away. It really made my clothes smell like homeless person. I was going crazy washing my clothes but it didn't go away until I stopped using lume.
Same experience. I ended up throwing out clothes because no amount of enzymes or other “stripping“ would lesson the stinky clothes issue. My skin smelled fine, but the funky clothes smell was horrid!
Actually if You have your receipt you can return any deodorant to the store for a refund or email the company for refund (in the us anyway) thank You for such an in-depth review! Your chemistry class was awesome lol
Yeah aluminum is what makes antiperspirant work. The number one thing across the board that was found in all Alzheimer’s patients brains, was an extremely high amount of aluminum. I’m trying lume now bc putting on aluminum every single day seems damaging. We’ll see if it works for me!!! 😬💕
As a man I personally love lume especially since im a restaurant worker it helps me staying smelling and feeling clean all day although I do think it's very overpriced for what is no matter what just a deodorant though it's quality is unmatched
@@arizonastrong9756 😄unless your buying at a sex store then I’m sure it’s not going to be editable. Any sexual pleasure stuff you want you’d definitely would want to buy at a sex store.
I am trying the tangerine sage lume soap...but,I am going to tell you that it doesn't seem to work for my body or even my hands. It smells like smoke on my skin...I think it's stinky to me. I am still trying to find something for me to love using .. I do like a "Swedish Dream" soap that has salt in it. That smells soooo good on me and in general. My menopause has changed my body scent by quite a lot! I don't like soaps with a whole lot of q perfume in them these days.My menopause has changed all of that for me.
I tried the tangerine Lume deodorant a few weeks ago. After a few days, I found it didn't work for my body chemistry at all. Sometimes things just don't work out for everyone. I do like natural deodorants, though, and I do feel this is a probably a good product for others. It just didn't work out for me.
I've been using Lume for about year now. I knew when I purchased it that is was only a deodorant. it is not an anti-perspirant. I'm fine with that because I don't sweat that much where I feel I need the chemicals to stop perspiration. I have used Lume on other parts of my body and it works fantastic. I love this product and will continue to use it. I did notice that after several months of use, it wasn't as effective on my armpits as when I first started but I remedied that with really scrubbing my armpits with a washcloth with hot water and soap to remove bacteria and then it seemed to go back to working great again. I'm not sure why that happens but that's all I needed to do to get it back to 100% working. Even if you decide you need an antiperspirant, Lume is still great on the other parts of the body that sometimes don't smell so great. It's definitely my favorite new product of 2019/2020 so far.

I have been using lume for about 3 months now and I love it I just recently about a month ago started using the soap I will not use anything other than the lume soap it makes your skin feels so soft almost like silk and I have noticed that I do not sweat as much using it anywhere I've been using the tangerine and I also use the unscented below the belt because I am very sensitive to certain things I break out very easily so the soap is so amazing I absolutely love it and I think if you have not tried it it's worse a try it lathers up like no other soap I have ever used
Lume is good for those whom are bedridden but so is vinegar on a washcloth lol
@@donnasnyder9677
I would rather you “soap
“ than synthetics on my body, not my face though, but I also only expect it to cleanse my skin, some times of the year when it is dry out I cannot use it but I want to. 😅
Soap will not moisturize , soften, smooth, reduce sweating, anti-aging, or any other advertising hook.
The pH is too high during the process for any of these ingredients to survive the saponification process.
The pH is high in ALL products labeled “soap” 9.0-11.0 and our skin is 4.5- 5.6 pH so it is very alkaline and harsh for some people with a dry sensitive skin.
You cannot make soap moisturizing by adding extra oils or whatever because it changes the integrity of it and it may be formulated into something else but soap is cleansing. Very cleansing so it might be a plus for people who use natural deodorants.
I am not kicking Lume, just letting people know what they can expect from it.
Hey look in to Dr Mist! It's dead sea salt it works amazing as a deodorant and it can cut down sweat and kills bacteria without "building up" in the system and causes other weird smells. Works for 12 to 24 hours too.
I don’t care about sweat I just don’t want to smell
SAMMEEEEEEE
sweat is natural, it's a shame people think we shouldn't sweat which is how our body rids itself of toxins. don't get me started on how terrible antiperspirants are.
Saammeeee I suffer with the smell it's embarrassing when people tell me if I put deodorant on and I was 17 at the time..
Right.
@@mvelasquez3333 hey try the Schmidts hemp seed oil deodorant, it is amazing! I tried lume and it didn't work, but the Schmidts have a really nice smell and I haven't smell any bad odor since I've been using it! I highly recommend it!
I think the overall summary is that Lume is usually just to destroy the smell and not the sweat, since it’s a deodorant and not an anti-perspirant.
@Troll NearU to destroy the oder and not replace it with another smell 🤷🏿♀️ (ex. Unscented soap, lotion, etc)
@Troll NearU some people have reactions to any kind of fragrance
You can't get rid of sweat 😂 stupid ass 😂 thats alwats gona be there were humans lol sweat is for taken out things like sickness and other things if you dont sweat then you need water in your body and youll faint idk lol but yeh this product is js for oder ODER
Oder *********
@@Solarlifeoffgrid I think they just mean that because an antiperspirant clogs your pores so that your armpits can’t actually sweat. The rest of your body can though. A deodorant stops the odor. And an antiperspirant stops the actual sweat from forming on your skin because it clogs the pores
I literally got a lume ad on this video
Lol gotta love how they work :)
Same lol
Me too
Same

Thanks for taking the time to post another video! Lume actually works a bit differently and is not an antibacterial product. Lume creates a protective barrier on your skin that prevents bacteria from digesting bodily fluids that lead to odor. This allows both the bacteria and bodily fluids to hang out on our skin, but Lume prevents the odor-causing reaction from happening. We have found that clothing plays a huge role in the level of odor control you receive since Lume does not mask odor. We do always recommend pre-treating your clothing with an enzyme spray like Nature's Miracle to ensure you are working with a clean slate when beginning your journey with Lume. Certain fibers (man-made) can accelerate the BO process and benefit from continuing treatment after each wear. Everyone's body is different so it is a matter of finding out what works well for you. 😊
Can that bacteria that prevents odor cause a rash for an immunosupressant individual?
@@yvetvasan Lumē does not kill bacteria, it just creates a barrier on the skin so your bacteria can no longer digest your bodily fluids, which is what produces odor. 😊
I've been using Lume for a while now and even have my husband switched too. We have found this stuff works great for us. I know not everything works for everyone but for us, it is working better than we ever expected!! I can't say enough good about Lume!!!!!
@@Sylviabrown75 We're so glad to hear that! Thanks for taking the chance on Lume! 🧡
My mom uses lume and she says the deodorant says on for 2 days. Dang! That’s a lot compared to other deodorants that I’ve used.
Everyone’s body is different and reacts accordingly.. All I know is my B. O is gone. I now have a happy wife. Good enough for me
Lyle Smith l like your comment.
@@sherimascote7850 thanks
All I know is that I use to date a chic and her private part straight up smelt like some DOOKIE! I'm talking bout some straight up bile movement. Some open shit at that. But after LUME that shit was GONE!!!
@@TuckerPastor that’s disgusting. She had poor hygiene practices.
@@TuckerPastor 🤮
Lume worked for me for a while and then stopped working. I don’t believe it’s reasonable to expect to get 72 hours out of it at all. My first purchase worked great and I bought a sample pack for myself and my daughter to try the scents and it wasn’t effective anymore. I think it is expensive but I would still purchase if it worked for me. What I don’t like about the company is that they wouldn’t post my honest review, it was true and fair and 3 stars but they only have 5 star reviews on the site. Thank you for the review, it is very informative.
I think it's best to maybe use a few days a week when you plan on being most active. Take a few days without using it to let your body get rid of the ingredients that built up so it will continue to work when you most need it to. I'm thinking alternating feminine wipes and lume may be better? Just a thought. I think I might try it that way.
Why would you need to wait for 72 hours before reapplying anyway? Unless you are camping or something like that....
@@cpeguero60 Right...I thought the same thing. Surely you'd need to re-apply after showering? Just my thoughts, lol.
@@nooneatnowhere I don't mean to sound gross but I have a super deep belly button and I call it a smelly button! Well I used to until Lume. Yes, even after the shower, thank goodness, because I'm not a fan of the scent I bought. The 1st time I used it I thought I'd put it to the test and put just a tiny drop in my belly button and holy cow even 3 showers later it was completely fine? That's amazing! Gross but amazing 🤣 My son's feet were enough to clear a room but not anymore. We thought maybe we had covid and lost our smell but thank goodness it was Lume doing it's job 😄
You can post it on the Amazon site.
I'll never go back to drug store deodorants after using Lume. I used to have such strong feminine odor and it made me so self conscious. Lume has changed my life. I'm much more confident and Ive been using it for over a year. It has never failed me. ❤️
I love LUME!! IT WORKS FOR ME TOO A LOT!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!❤️ MY Life HAS CHANGED TREMENDOUSLY 🥰 I NO LONGER GET BOILS ANYMORE UNDERNEATH MY ARMS! AND I DEFINITELY DO NOT STINK!! NO MORE DEGREE OR ANY MORE DEPARTMENT STORE DEODORANTS FOR ME! 🙂
I definitely understand. ❤️❤️❤️ I LOVE LUME
I agree
Do you put the cream down there??
I don't mind some of that fishy 🐟 odor from you when I'm down there!!!! But not too much or your jumping in the shower!!!! Also shave it butter smooth!!! 🤣
I've used it for about 6 months now and I love it. I don't stink, and I don't mind sweating. It's healthy for your body to sweat.
I'm wondering how you can stand the smell of it. It literally smells like B.O., which is ironic. That smell never goes away. It's gross. I'm so confused how anyone can like it.
I love it to on my 4th order
@@VioletJoy Bacteria is what makes sweat smell. :)
@@chasingdharmaify Yes, that's true. But this product smells like BO even in the container. Yours doesn't? I've seen dozens and dozens of comments saying the same thing. I'm so confused.
@@VioletJoy is it all the types or one in particular?
I am one of those that had to stop using Lume after a few months because my clothes had such a horrible smell that I had to throw them out. I didn't like the smell out of the tube, but it didn't smell bad on my skin and it did keep my skin smell free. However, the stink from the clothing and in my shoes (I used it on my feet as well) was horrible. I tried pretreating the armpit and crotch areas with enzyme spray, I fully washed with BacOut, I "stripped" my clothes, etc. It was the grossest smell I've ever had. I've used natural deodorants for 20+ years and have never had this happen before. I appreciate this video that helps me understand why it didn't work for me.
My son and I had the same issues. We followed the instructions and still we smelled so bad. It took a couple weeks to get rid of the smell. Funny no negative comments on FB
It stinks. They're tips dont work. It stinks out the tube or if you sniff the tube ,so the theory about the skin and chemistry is kinda inapplicable here with lume. It's funky! I wanted to love it and wish I could make up something similar (that can be used on various parts) , but looking forward to when another company does😊. I can deal with doesn't smell great,but it smells BAD!!!
@@tinaj9621 I agree. I wanted to love it but the only one that smells good is Lavender sage and they dont work very well, not even 8 whole hrs. The peony rose stinks so bad! The wipes sting my skin. Summer's eve products smell better, last longer and is not as expensive
@ceceoo3 oh really, the peony stinks too. Bummer. I was considering giving that a shot. Sigh. I just ordered a 3rd tube a few wks ago (this time it was the toasted coconut) its a no for me. Stinks. The peony bar 🧼 soap smelled decent though (i bought that for my bf daughter to try). But I'm also looking for a deodorant and like the idea of the tube being able to be applied everywhere 🤷🏽♀️ sigh.
No. Those people probably started waiting a little bit to put it on. You honestly have to be fresh out of the shower for it to work all day.
The reason it stops working isn’t because of buildup on the body. Mandelic acid doesn’t build up on skin, it breaks down skin because it acts as a chemical exfoliant. It is also water soluble so it washes away very easily from the skin.
The reason it stops working for some people is because the “demographics” of the microbiome of your armpit is shifting and the bacteria that are less affected by the mandelic acid are predominant.
To fix this you basically have to “reset” your microbiome by either not using a deodorant product for a week or two (varies a lot from person to person) or switching temporarily to an aluminum-based product. Other “natural” deodorants aren’t a good option because they usually contain essential oils, baking soda, or other PH disrupters that will only make your stinky bacteria happier in the long run, especially if you have sensitive skin prone to inflammation.
Using alcohol-free baby wipes throughout the day or micellar water to rinse your armpits on your lunch break might also help during your “reset” week.
It’s possible that consuming less carbohydrates, more leafy greens, and more anti-inflammatory foods will also help support hormonal function that could make your skin less friendly to stinky microbes. Avoid inflammatory ingredients like alcohol and fried foods. Drink more ginger tea. Probiotics might also help. Everyone is different, though.
A child can’t process protein and therefore needed meds to help. The meds made her smell like a rotting fish, nothing worked to mask the smell. The teacher couldn’t have her in her classroom, someone sent her Lume and she tried it on herself first. She tried it on her daughter and was amazed that this horrible smell from meds was gone. You can imagine what this did for her sweet child. So far this is the best story regarding Lume.
I have used Lume’s products for almost 2 years. I find it AMAZING. I prefer it for my feet and private areas. I still use my antiperspirant under arms, as I feel the same. I hate that clammy feeling under my arms.
But as far as “personal odor,” it’s the BOMB!!
I think their customer service is incredible.
I put Lumes And if it’s right as I get out of the shower and then as I’m done getting dressed I put deodorant on it works great
I've noticed that you smell better, And I live 500 miles away. Just kidding.
My understanding is that you are still supposed to use a traditional antiperspirant under your arms if you are a sweat-er, and put the Lume around the armpit area to help more. But ultimately the product was designed for genital areas (and toes and belly buttons for some) where people don't typically put antiperspirant. I think too many people are spending too much time discussing armpits with this product.
I ordered the sample pack. Because I wanted to smell all the flavors
I let my friend use some. She was so impressed that she bought some for herself. I ended up buying the unscented bundle.
My husband doesn't stink when he uses it.
I will admit that it doesn't control the wetness.. but it doesn't stain my white shirts. I'm willing to deal with wetness if I don't stink.
It works for Down below very well.
I used to use Arm and Hammer Aluminum free deodorant and it just masked the smell like a perfume.
So I am happy with Lume.
I like the fact also that you can use as a lotion which will help me rub it on stinky feet
Megan Denson deodorants like lume aren’t anti-perspirant :) . They’re just made to control the smell and other benefits.
Best thing for wetness is proper undergarments, which women have been told to ditch for years thanks to fashion. But the real secret to long lasting *clothes* is wearing a sweat wicking cotton undergarment between your skin and daily clothing whenever possible.
As someone who has battled hyperhidrosis since single digits, I can attest that nothing short of medical intervention or chemical application will affect how your body perspires. It sucks, but science isn't there yet.
Which are the best scents
Flavors? Lol
Scents, not flavors. But Yeah, I did the same.
Natural deodorant tip: for the summer, spring heat or workouts pair your deodorant with a natural powder to absorb the sweat & keep you fresh. I use Garner's Garden talc free powder.
I have used Secret Unscented Gel and it works great. I can even go a couple of days without reapplying even when I shower. I also use Dove unscented antibacterial soap. I would like to try this product however to see how it is.
Yep. Walmart has a great one for kids it has aloe. Caldezine I think it's called...it's in a blue bottle and it's not expensive.
Powder clumps up.
@@marikiemarie7622 not if you use just enough and you have to rub it in. I use it under my breasts because if it gets wet under there it will begin to smell. I don't mind sweating I mind stinking so I just ordered 2 sets of Lume today. One for me and for my housemate.
Just use baking soda.
Just saw the commercial, I’m here to see if it’s good or bad. Thanks for your honest review ✨🌙
Thank you for this video!
I am in the process of shopping around right now and trying to find the right natural deodorant for me.
Although you said that we're all different and the only way to know what works on us is to try, your info pretty clearly told me this is not the one for me. And that's useful info as I can skip over Lume now and go on to the next.
It was the part about mandelic acid being prevalent in Lume. At my age, if I know one thing about my skin is that ANYTIME, I use any ingredient that has the word "acid" in it, my skin is going to BURN.
By now, I've pretty well tried every one you could think of in face washes and creams. Even if the ingredient is way at the bottom of the list. It never fails to happen. If it says the work "acid" my skin will feel like it's burning. My skin is pretty sensitive that way. And I know FOR SURE to that AHAs never fail to do this to me.
Personally though, deodorants are fine for me. I dont get that wet naturally All I want it to do is to prevent odor, and hopefully to have a pretty scent that lasts all day long. I dont personally need much else from a deodorant. I tried new one yesterday and it made pits feel TOO dry, which did not feel good.
So now I know I should skip over Lume and go on to the next one. That info was really useful to me. 👍
Thanks for being honest about your experience with this product
Sounds like a paid endorsement
Oh man. I loved it from the beginning. My husband pointed out that it had a booty smell to it. Smh. But he wasn't wrong. I went through a few disregarded events. Landed on the toasted coconut. That booty smell was very hidden. The problem I came to was indeed the fact that after a few weeks, I actually smelled like fresh onion. It was crazy. Unexpected. I'm not opposed to giving them another shot. And I see they've reinvented it in some way.... when it worked, it really worked. I wasn't tripping on what he called, booty, cuz that went away after a few minutes. If like to find one that just does it for me. Though I'm not subscribed, I'm still using what I've got.... and it's a lot
😂😂😂I caved and purchased it after multiple ads but your husband is right. It smells like a** and im tempted to throw it away😅
I tried Lume for a couple of weeks. It was just ok for me. I got the Lavender Sage scent, which I thought was pleasant. The smell disappears in about 30 minutes. I don’t sweat much, but the clammy feeling under my arms was a deal breaker for me. Plus it’s too expensive.
Thanks for sharing your experience Mary!
Failed for me. Right out of the shower I read & followed instructions. First it had a smell that I wasn't crazy about to begin with. 24hrs later. My armpits smelled worse than they've ever smelled before
Me too.
But they say clearly that wont stop your sweating, it says that blocks the odor. Thank you for your insight on that . lots of nice information.
She said that, many times. She uses also language that is conducive to that point she needs an anti perspirant, many people don’t understand that there is a difference between an anti perspirant and deodorant she even said she hopes they create an anti Perspirant in the future
I definitely noticed that my odor was different after consistently using Lume. I stopped and now I'm back to normal. I only use it occasionally now.
It works amazingly well for me and I am soooo happy! When I developed PCOS symptoms my body odor went form non-existent to VERY strong and now I feel so fresh and don’t stink at all :).
That is the issue I am having, just ordered Lume and hoping for the best outcome. If my body would reject it, I would smell so bad I would never be able to leave my home.

How are you liking Lume so far?
0:55 “perfume smells great on some people and atrocious on somebody else”
My mother-in-law uses Chanel No. 5 (probably since the 50’s) and she smells like an nursing home with it on.
Been using Lume for 2 months now (unscented version). Well, it has stopped working! I recently started getting that sour onion underarm smell again. I began suspecting that my shirts were the cause, thinking that the residual smell from older shirts was the culprit (that smell is hard to wash out). So I went out and bought new white undershirts and started experimenting. It’s my pits that are causing the smell after just one wearing from new and washed! If anything I over apply Lume so there is no under-application to blame! On a side note, I have noticed that the unscented I use has only three holes for products to be dispensed from compared to the videos I’ve seen of scented ones that have a dozen or so holes. Really thought I’d won the fight over stinky pits and frustrated yet again that I’ve got to search for something new for the 15 or 16 time! I don’t mind sweating! I just hate the stink that my warm pits start exuding half way through my day.
Try AOS: Art Of Sport. It comes in deodorant and an antiperspirant. I've only used the aluminum free all natural deodorant and it's amazing!! I used to sweat a lot and had to use Certain Dry every night but now I'm free if that hassle!! I'd seriously try it, the shit is awesome and it smells even better. I use Victory but others say the other scent's are great too. I believe they started selling it at Target but you can also get it at Amazon. But be careful if you want an all natural product do you want the deodorant and not the antiperspirant, The antiperspirant has aluminum in it but the deodorant does not. I hope you love it too!! Lmk is it with for you. I'm there only person I know that uses it so if love to hear what others have to say about it.
Just use Gel Antiperspirant and deodorant. Natural deodorants WILL NOT WORK. If your pits are that bad you cannot use natural deodorant. Watch Dr. Dray on TH-cam about Natural Deodorant.
Glycolic acid from Ulta for deodorant
It does not matter what you use. It won't replace a shower. Its just another product everyone
Lume saved my life no lie - I have Hyperhydrosis and brohimdrosis .. lume was my last resort and it’s definitely been a game changer for me - I hope it continues to work🙏🏾
I have been using lume for several months now. I am so amazed at the odor control of this deodarant. Only problem I have now, that I didn't have before, is the sweating. My underarms stay wet, but without odor.
I haven't used deodorant for 3 months already I make my own just mixing coconut oil and baking soda, literally the only thing that actually kept me from smelling. BUT The only negative thing is that it stains my clothes sadly I had to throw them away. So I decided to give Lume a try and I love it. I dont like the smell of it but as long as I don't smell and doesn't stain my clothes I'm more than happy . To me it did work 👍
Buy glycolic acid from Ulta
I developed an allergic reaction. It gave me what looked acne spots, just two or three under each armpit. The spots would not heal or go away. I stopped using the deodorant and the spots turned into small dark almost chemical burn like spots at site were the “acne” spots were. They haven’t gone away even after months. Initially it was great, the reaction took about six weeks. It may just be my reaction to it.
I've been using lume as deodorant for my underarms since march and have experienced no adverse effects. It works just as well now as it did initially. It's the best deodorant I've ever used for odor control. I don't sweat profusely but do notice the moisture so Idk if i can use it when I go back to work because of sweat marks on my clothes. I'm glad it hasn't stopped working for me and will use it for the foreseeable future.
Any update
The sweat stains on like white shirts actually is caused by the antiperspirant. Once I quit using antiperspirant I didn't have those marks. And honestly, antiperspirant doesn't stop my pits from sweating anyway so it really just doesn't make sense for me personally to continue putting aluminum on my skin which ultimately absorbs into the body.
That is my thing with natural deodorant. I don’t like to show I am sweating when you have wet shirts. There is always a postive and negative for both.
Thanks for your review. I do agree with products that are for the body it all depends on your body composition which is all different. I ordered The Unscented Bundle to see if will work. Won't know until I try. Thanks again.
Not only is this about body chemistry and the type of clothing you wear; most importantly, clothing needs to be pretreated with an enzyme (pits/crotch and socks).
Petroleum based clothing magerials' fleece is recycled plastic
I wear all natural fibers, pre treated with enzymes before washing, “stripped” the fabrics as suggested and still a horrible stink took over. I Tried everything to get it out of the fabrics, and then ended up throwing things out. Lume worked great for me for many months until the stinky clothes issue. I won’t ever use it again.
Lume works i tried the bar saop and after i used it i smelled like nothing . im not going to lie i was skeptical at first because of the negative reviews but all i can say is it worked for me . i love it and its my new go to saop.
I’m glad you were honest about no longer using it. I put it on and let it dry for a bit and prefer it especially during the winter. We shall aww how it works in summer. Absolutely love their customer service
I have used ALTERNATIVE deodorants & NO NO NO Antiperspirants for 30+ years.
I used 20+ years a crystal stone that I would wet and swipe and it always removed STINK but not the sweating. Sweating is a good thing so we need to get used to our clothes being damp because that is natural and good for our lymphatic system PERIOD.
I LOVE LUME! It is the first product I use on all parts including my groin and honestly it has made me feel so much better knowing I do not smell bad anywhere!
THANKS Lume!
SO PROUD OF YOU!! 🥰🥰🥰
I am a chemist 👩🔬 I am a new Lume user & just watched your 2019 video (and, commented.)
The long term effects for me remain to be seen.
Glad you realized Lume is just a deodorant & not an anti-perspirant. I need a deodorant since menopause 🥴 BIG TIME!!!! Coincidentally, my perspiration lessened with Lume.
I LOVE THE SOAP - the lime is GOAT!
FYI - perspiring is your bodies way of regulating its self. So allow yourself to perspire. Instead of trying not to perspire, figure out what makes you perspire and alter that. For me, I look at a staircase and start sweating. I have one of those conditions that I sweat a lot. I hate it. But it is what it is. But just remember that we sweat because we have to. It’s what your body needs to do at that time. And as my mother always said, “ladies don’t sweat, they glisten.“ Just make sure you have on some pretty good waterproof make up.
*** so far, I only have to apply Lume twice per week. So it still is worth smelling like a rotting dead squirrel for 12 to 16 hours. I’m hoping they figure out how to get rid of that smell. I’ve noticed in older reviews people don’t complain about that smell. So there must be some component that’s causing that smell to leech out. And since many of the reviews I’ve read people are smelling this stench right out of the container then we all know it’s not related to the body chemistry. Or maybe after certain pair of time it starts smelling. So the shelflife may not be what they think it is. Who knows. Science experiments can be so much fun, lol. But I ordered the complete unscented collection. And it was rank stank. I returned it and I got the tri-it sized sampler of the two deodorants. The only one I liked was the line. I also ordered four soaps. The only soap I liked was the lime. All the others the rotting roadkill smell was too much. I also ordered the wipes. I’m I am not impressed with them. They don’t smell like roadkill. But they don’t smell good either. They aren’t very thick, which is good for plumbing. But I don’t flush my wipes anyway. But they fall apart, easily. One does not want their finger breaking through, if you know what I mean. And one’s finger broke through. No Bueno! If the wipes were priced comparable to Cottonelle, for example, then I wouldn’t be offended. But at $15 per pack, very offended. They should be much better quality
I'm thinking it has that weird smell now because they changed the formula.
@@addicted367 I have made a schedule to use it an night & I have a dedicated set of Lume PJs & panties 😂😂😂 I found that using the new Febreeze blue jug stuff with my Tide, bleach and sanitize cycle in the wash load that the smell comes out… a bit extreme BUT IT WIRKS IF YA WORK IT 👌🏼 I’m not giving up on Lume
This is a super helpful video. I just purchased Lume and was wondering how it works. Thank you for making this review
It smells awful and you have to be paid off or unable to smell, to think it doesn't. I'd compare the smell to yak cheese. I tried Tangerine and Unscented deodorant sticks and all the Sun And Sand deodorant tubes (Lavender, Jasmine, Tangerine, Coconut, Vanilla) and all of them have the same unpleasant smell. The 'warm vanilla' soap smells exactly like Play Doh. None of the scents smell like what they are described to be. It does NOT stop sweating. Wearing it, is awful because you have to constantly smell it everywhere you go.
I got the warm vanilla. I swear i smell like warm vanilla corn chips. 😳 thank you for this comment. I thought i was insane.
Something is severely wrong with your sense of smell.
@@sumi7579 no its body chemistry. Ive used essential oils and one dsy they smell one way the next day they smell another 🤷🏻♀️
@@MommaBeiler My comment was directed at the person stating every scent smells awful and people who say otherwise are paid off. That person likely already smells funky and is trying to mask their funk! The scents do not stink from the tube.
Also, they are deodorants, not antiperspirants. Certain Dri is the best antiperspirant.
@@sumi7579 gotcha makes sense. Yeah the one i tried did not work out haha but but it didnt inherently smell bad opening it
This video is more informative than an obgyn on youtube! U did really well in this video. Wow! Very positive vibes im subscribing!!!
Thanks so much! I appreciate the kind words ❤️
@@thehomeadmin your welcome thank u for this video!
Okaaaaay Mama. Thank you for this literal DREAM of a post. Articulate, tactful, yet detailed enough to help me arrive at my own conclusion for me. You are so careful to educate on your personal cons while praising this company's service excellence standard. Nice work. Ty.
One of the best and most informative reviews I've seen on this stuff.
People shouldn’t put it inside. It’s not suppose to sink into the skin which is a good reason for the molecules to be too large for absorption. But it could be some people’s bodies also don’t work with the various essential oils. I say start with the unscented deodorant and maybe try the soaps in the scents. Go to the website and read the ingredients for yourself and like she said, everyone is different. For me the aluminum salts are causing rashes and causing issues even though they work. But The doctor said as we age we can build up intolerance to aluminum salts which is what keeps us dry. You don’t want to use cornstarch because that can start a yeast overload - it feeds yeast. And baking soda didn’t work well either - caused abrasions.
Also, your health can govern the smells. Back 20 years ago when I started with liver disease I had to stop using all perfumes, many lotions, it seemed that no matter what I used, the toxicity of the liver just gave my skin a bad smell and interacted with everything I used. It was so disappointing that I couldn’t use what I had used for decades. But that was the deal I got handed. Certainly diabetes can change skin scent and urine smells too. As can asparagus, and other foods including certain spices. I have some lotions I can use now finally but perfumes are still an issue. I have been thinking about trying some of the naturally expelled/extracted perfumes - no chemicals and no alcohol. They are expensive - might even try to find one of the shops that makes a scent just for you.
Again… please check the Lume website and the unscented to start with. That way you can accurately judge whether it works or not before adding another scent to the panel.
Oh. I never used it the for the same reasons. I'm not using it for my armpits or because it's more natural. Although I wish it worked as an antiperspirant. As a busy nurse, who's sweating and moving for long shifts, I've loved it for other areas. I've been using about two years. Fortunately, it hasn't changed its effectiveness for me. Thanks for the great info!
Lume works for me.
My bodies chemistry usually makes everything smell good and enhanced.
I love the coconut/pineapple, and unscented. The berry one I tried first, and didn't like the scent, so I switched to coconut/pineapple, and am totally satisfied. I've been using Lume for 6 months now.
The commercials are the absolute best!!
I stopped using aluminum based deodorant years ago. I started to smell a lot about a year ago, another fun side effect of old age, ha ha. I bought Lume about two weeks ago and so far it’s working very well. I actually don’t get very wet under my arms, so I hope it continues to work. Thanks for your honest review. I feel like the money that I spent on the one bottle that I have was well spent. If it stops working after a few weeks, I guess I’ll just go back to the other one that I was using. However, so far so good with Lume.
I have been wearing Lume for the last 7 months and I love it. I have had very strong body odor (underarms) since I was around 6 years old (yes 6!) My mother and grandmother tried everything natural they could find to help me, but nothing worked. Eventually my mother gave me secret deodorant and it worked until I reached the age of 17. At seventeen it would only work maybe 4 hours a day. I would have to take multiple wash-ups through the day and reapply deodorant so that wouldn't smell. I started spending a lot of money on every deodorant I could find (including mens deodorant). I really wanted to find something that would work on my odor for at least 24 hours. Now I'm in my early 40s and I started taking 2 showers a day and 1-2 wash-ups a day, applying degree deodorant to keep my sweating and odor down. Lume is the first deodorant I've found that keeps me from smelling for at least 48 hours. It definitely changed my life. I use it also in my pubic area and no matter how much I may sweat somedays, I never have an odor. I'm praying that my body doesn't adjust to it and cause it to stop working.
I have been using Lume everywhere for about 4 mos. It is just now not working as well under my arms. No really super funky smells but I just notice I'm a little musty after about 6-8 hours and have to reapply. I'm going to switch to another natural product for underarms for awhile and go back to it. It still works everywhere else like a charm.
Lume rocks!!! I’ve used it for years and it is just as effective as it was on Day One! Buy it! It works.
Goodness, this is ridiculous. No, acid is not “building up in your body.” It could be that the product is discouraging certain bacteria from proliferating on the skin while allowing other bacteria which are more acid-tolerant to take over, which could be just as smelly or even smellier than the original bacteria.
Thanks for taking the time to give a great honest break down. I use Lume and am very happy with it. It is the only product I've used that doesn't break me out or create a buildup that actually ends up creating more odor. I am very sensitive and feel good about the ingredients and company. However, it does not control all of my underarm stink. It does control odor in other parts of my body and works great for my husband. I noticed that it was at certain times that it didn't work. I have discovered from my doctor that bacteria is only one of the causes of odor. Since starting menopause, there is a new underarm odor at certain times that nothing takes care of. NOTHING. And my doctor said to stop looking because nothing will work on that odor. It isn't from bacteria. I have started using shields when I notice it starting so I can a least not ruin my cloths. There is also truth to nervous sweet having it's own odor which also has nothing to do with bacteria. So I find it effective and feel good about the ingredients, but it isn't a one size fits all miracle cure for odor.
I am so glad you posted this. I am 68 years old so you can imagine I might be interested to hear about things that happened during menopause. A lot of doctors and people in general just don’t know that much about sweat and BEO and women. I think that’s a shame. I still haven’t tried this deodorant yet because I want to get little samples instead of big ones to try different scents.
I first used Lume a couple of years ago. I didn’t like the color or texture, but I loved how it worked at keeping odors away. I preferred the unscented. Then, I noticed the packaging changed and so did the color and texture of product. A big fail, for me. I reached out to company and was told that in order to make it a “clean beauty” product, they removed PEG-100 and two other ingredients. Well, now it’s just as worthless to me as every other so-called clean, natural junk out there. This may be TMI, but my underarms smelled worse than ever. I couldn’t get a half day in, let alone their claim of 48 hours or so. Back to DK Cashmere Mist. Oh, Lume did offer to refund my purchase less $5 and $1 for each additional return. I had already trashed the bundle I bought though. To those who like the product, I do envy you.
Lume doesn’t work for all, but I’m fortunate to be a candidate and works amazing. They have a new formula and its not sticky and its amazing!!!
Lume WORKS!!! I’ve never been self conscious ever using it. There’s zero smell at all. The problem I have however, is that bc there’s no antiperspirant as others have said, you def sweat. I wouldn’t care but I get chub rub aka heat rash, irritation or whatever you want to call it. Which then means I have to use a second product to treat that bc it’s UBER painful. Sooo all that to say I STILL USE IT bc IT WORKS but less so in the summer. I’m in Florida and I have to have an antiperspirant in the dog days of summer. So I swap it out during that time with clinical strength secret free & sensitive. Don’t love Secret bc u have to scrub to get it off ur skin but that’s the deal. 🤷🏻♀️ there’s just no perfect product out there it seems.
Thank you for the information. Something I tried that helped with odor and perspiration and is all natural: Alvera- Aloe & Almond All Natural Roll-on Deodorant. It works great for me. Went hiking and no sweat and really no odor. My daughter didn’t like so just as you said, each person is different. I like the Lume but developed a rash after several applications.
Been using LUME for 2weeks and I LOVE IT!!! No odor for 2days and I stay dry!
Is it still doing good for you.
I Am A Guy And Stumbled Upon Lume's Commercial And Couldn't Stop Laughing
Ingenious Humor.
Thank you for this video. It is intelligent and that is what I wanted. Honest and informed! Have decided not to use it because of the use of the word "clammy". UGH!
But that might be because she was sweats a lot. I’m literally using it right now and I’m not really a sweaty person and it’s doing just fine. People need to put it on kind of like lotion instead on your under arms or anywhere not just Rub it there. It looks like lotion and comes out like that so it really makes no sense to just roll it on. Might be different for you. I’m not clammy over here.
Cleo and coco is amazing ! Just not the orange which is labeled as coconut it’s very oily. The sage and mint or the lavender are game changers ;)
My experience with Lume:
My sister got me a bottle of Lume for Christmas. I tried it several times. Here's what happened every time:
1) Applied Lume. No odor! Yay!
2) By the end of the day, the area where the Lume was applied broke out in a red, super-itchy rash.
3) Washed off the Lume and let my skin calm down.
4) After a few days, the area where the skin had rashed up started peeling. The skin sloughed off in the shower.
I'm clearly having an allergic reaction to something in the Lume, whether it's the active ingredient or something else, so I'm not using it any more.
I went through the same thing but mine happened after using it for a long period of time. I had to pause heal up the use again on special occasions. Sorry that happened to you but im glad to know i wasn't the only one.
I love Lume! My daughter tried out for one of their commercials is how I heard about it. It works on odor great, but agree it doesn't get you dry. I did notice it was changing from no odor to a very different odor after awhile, glad you mentioned that and how it happens. Grateful it's working again now though because I'm not comfortable with blocking my sweat pores and becoming toxic with aluminum.
I tried the soap, but it dried out my skin. I do use the deodorant , but found that during high stress days, it only lasts for about 4 hours. It works great for lazy days though.
When I tried Lume it did not work for my body.
Maggie barlow wish this was more specific
@@catapillargirl2021 The first week it was awesome but after a couple weeks of trying it I started smelling in my pits so I just gave it a couple more days to see if it would work and it still wasn't working so I decided to return it. I was using the no scent one. Hopefully, that's more specific :)
@@maggiebarlow8068 I think you may have needed to consider trying to change up soap or check your clothes. I noticed when I went to certain clothes I hadn't worn for a while that I was picking up a scent again. I changed detergents and started heavily pre-treating, and realized some clothes just needed to be thrown away because it's the clothes that were holding the smell, even after months of washing. Having a background in technical theatre, I know that it's a reality that some fibers will hold smells permanently, and transfer that smell to skin.
@@KatieCottingham thx
@@maggiebarlow8068 it didn't work for me either. I did everything the website said including buy new shirts. I've only used natural deodorant. Unfortunately with everything being closed I cannot return this to Amazon .So I'm eating the $20 🤦
I've been using it for about a week and love it. I was concerned about sweating, since it isn't an antiperspirant, but haven't come across that issue yet.
Update: I've found that some of my shirts caused odor. Got some Nature's Miracle Stain & Odor Remover to pretreat the underarms before tossing them in the laundry bin.
I'm going to put this simple. If you take an appetite suppressant supplement, it's your intention to eat less. If you seek out lume products, it's your intention to bathe less. Therefore, it's likely most people don't have a body odor problem, but a proper and consistent bathing problem. Also, I think baths are supreme. But you don't just soak. You stand up thoroughly bathe, sit down to soak, stand up again, thoroughly bathe and sit down to soak for the final time. That's how you take a bath. If you just sitting in there like your doing a commercial and never bathing. You're just wet and dirty afterward. A lot of people were not raised properly on how to bathe and differences in cultures play a role as well. No woman should be under the impression that a shower is suffice for her. You have equipment on the inside as opposed to men's equipment on the outside. You got to soak! All the women have been involved with were extremely clean women and their primary method of bathing was always....always a bath.
I had been using Lume since Feb 2021, wipes and deodorant daily. It worked great until the past 2-3 months I noticed I had an unfamiliar loud odor. Generally my underarm stink always just smelled like most people when they sweat, kinda musty; then my smell down there was a normal feminine smell unless I did something to make me sweat like going to the gym. So when this random odor showed up and it smelled the same above and below the belt I was like what the heck? Right after showering I'm good but if I get warm at all throughout the day then the odor is back as if I just ran a sweaty marathon. I stopped using Lume last month when I realized it likely had something to do with it but didn't understand how. I thought today maybe my pH was off or something but didn't have full understanding of pH aside from feminine pH. I also didn't know Lume was acidic either. Glad I found this video as it helps confirm my suspicions. Now I have to figure out how to get things rebalanced back to my normal smell I had before using Lume. Really wish I knew all this beforehand but you live and learn I guess. Thanks for the video
Thank you so much for explaining the science behind the product. I used Kosa deodorant (uses mandelic acid) and it worked for the 1st week then i noticed my armpits smelling worst.
Did your armpits recover when you stopped Lume?
@@iamlove5325 I never tried the Lume brand. But I used so many other Aluminum free deodorants and they all stopped working for me. Check out Dr. Dray video about Aluminum free deodorants. She recommended using a Benzoyl Peroxide wash for the armpits. It reduces the bacteria 🦠 in the armpit which leads to bad odors. She explains it all. I highly recommend checking her video out. So to answer your question yesss my armpit did recover.
Lime is not for covering up odor, it works as a preventative to odor. I gave it a 10 out of 10. I’ve been using it for 3 years. I ride on a motorcycle for hours upon end in 90 degree weather and it has never disappointed me. I want to scream it’s wonders from the rooftops. LADIES PLEASE GIVE THIS A TRY.
I used lume for many months. I used the deodorant stick, whole body deodorant, the soap bars triple milled , acidified soap bar, and the acidified body wash multiple times. Personal the acidified soap bar is too expensive and didn't work well for smells and isn't lathering enough. The whole body deodorant and deodorant stick work really well. Except I notices that after a while my armpits smelled worse so I switched back to regular deodorant that helped. And the body wash and triple milled soap bar work really well for removal of smell and maintaining fresh all over body.
Yeah lume worked for me at first and I’ve been using it for about 5 months. For the past month, it hasn’t been working for me and I smell even worse than I did before I began using lume. Not even an hour passes after I apply lume and I already stink. I’m looking for suggestions for other deodorants.
I use native for about a year for me works perfect I love it!! I tried different brands but most of them I get itchy but not native 😊 I'm reading the reviews because this product got my attention because supposedly I can use it down there 😬

@@VABee59 You didn't like it.The only thing I don't believe is 72 hours. I noticed that I smell like a steak the next day.
If Mandalic Acid alters PH level in order to get rid of odor causing “bacteria”... What could be happening is the LUME is getting rid of “Good Bacteria” on the skin which can then open up the door for “YEASTS & FUNGUSES” to proliferate and multiply.
I tried LUME, I have a Candida problem myself which causes me a lot of extra odor since I became ill with it. And I can tell you that LUME’ didn’t even make a dent in the odor between my toes. As for my armpits, they didn’t smell like my usual stinky Body Odor, however they did smell MUSTY. Another reviewer said the same and I was like what does she mean “musty”? Well, after I got the product and tried it, I had a “MUSTY” odor 12-24 hours after applying. It was gross. The reviewer that mentioned “MUSTY” also has since reviewed “Hudson Pure”. She said it blew the LUME away. I then bought the Hudson Pure and I am blown away. It works!

I bought the sample pack out of Amazon, and I am very disappointed because I can't return it - almost $30 to the trash. So the sample pack are 5 tubes that is supposed to be for body and pits. They have a terrible sulfate smell, and they do not prevent the smell. I think I have never stuck so much.

If it fights against bacteria by changing ph lvls, then it is only a matter of time before some strains will become resistant if it is being used all the time. Exposure leads to resistance.
I really think that happened to me. I used it for two years, now it won't work for me and I get a bad rash everytime I try to apply it
i've been using lume for months and i love it!! i'm bringing home a bunch of it to the philippines!
Lume makes me smell like a homeless person..and just threw them all away. It really made my clothes smell like homeless person. I was going crazy washing my clothes but it didn't go away until I stopped using lume.
Yeah I think lume itself smells kinda weird too I am not a fan.
It didn't work for me either
Hahahahahahahahah!! Forgive me for laughing, Ms.
Same experience. I ended up throwing out clothes because no amount of enzymes or other “stripping“ would lesson the stinky clothes issue. My skin smelled fine, but the funky clothes smell was horrid!
Actually if You have your receipt you can return any deodorant to the store for a refund or email the company for refund (in the us anyway) thank You for such an in-depth review! Your chemistry class was awesome lol
I know Lume doesn’t claim to be anti-perspirant but so far it is for me and I don’t stink so for now I am very impressed with it!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’ve been using it for about 6 months and it works GREAT for odor control!!! It really will work . I will continue to use it. .
Yeah aluminum is what makes antiperspirant work. The number one thing across the board that was found in all Alzheimer’s patients brains, was an extremely high amount of aluminum. I’m trying lume now bc putting on aluminum every single day seems damaging. We’ll see if it works for me!!! 😬💕
Have you tried the Kopari deodorant? I’ve been using it for almost a year and am obsessed with it!
No I haven’t but I have heard great things, will definitely try it. Thank you!
Kopari works great for my sister and doesn’t on me. I smell really earthy like cilantro (not onion)
at 53 I just got my first arm pit rash ever from using Lume
I have always used organic deodorant before
My skin does not like something in there
As a man I personally love lume especially since im a restaurant worker it helps me staying smelling and feeling clean all day although I do think it's very overpriced for what is no matter what just a deodorant though it's quality is unmatched
I’ve been using Lume for a few years now.
It’s amazing and works better than anything else.
Well for those that are on a budget, there’s a cream you can buy it at target or drug store. Hot pot vulva cream, it’s 9.99
Does it work??? I have to ask if I use it between my breast does it have a taste
@@arizonastrong9756 😄unless your buying at a sex store then I’m sure it’s not going to be editable. Any sexual pleasure stuff you want you’d definitely would want to buy at a sex store.
the answer is very simple! "cuts screen"
your fake chemistry degree is great. you gave me EXACTLY the information I wanted. Best product review ever.
Very smart, helpful review. Thank you.
I am trying the tangerine sage lume soap...but,I am going to tell you that it doesn't seem to work for my body or even my hands. It smells like smoke on my skin...I think it's stinky to me. I am still trying to find something for me to love using .. I do like a "Swedish Dream" soap that has salt in it. That smells soooo good on me and in general. My menopause has changed my body scent by quite a lot! I don't like soaps with a whole lot of q perfume in them these days.My menopause has changed all of that for me.
Sweating is normal. I just don't want to to stink . Or have cancer causing chemicals. So I love it
If doctors aren’t making enough money in their practice, creating products to sell and make money, shouldn’t be a doctor’s answer in their profession!
Absolutely works perfect !!! It's awesome both my hubby and I are very happy with it !
I tried the tangerine Lume deodorant a few weeks ago. After a few days, I found it didn't work for my body chemistry at all. Sometimes things just don't work out for everyone. I do like natural deodorants, though, and I do feel this is a probably a good product for others. It just didn't work out for me.
I've been using Lume for about year now. I knew when I purchased it that is was only a deodorant. it is not an anti-perspirant. I'm fine with that because I don't sweat that much where I feel I need the chemicals to stop perspiration. I have used Lume on other parts of my body and it works fantastic. I love this product and will continue to use it. I did notice that after several months of use, it wasn't as effective on my armpits as when I first started but I remedied that with really scrubbing my armpits with a washcloth with hot water and soap to remove bacteria and then it seemed to go back to working great again. I'm not sure why that happens but that's all I needed to do to get it back to 100% working. Even if you decide you need an antiperspirant, Lume is still great on the other parts of the body that sometimes don't smell so great. It's definitely my favorite new product of 2019/2020 so far.
Thank you! I think I’ll order one.
