Anyone here use the Pitrok crystal/salt deodorant?

[BarryWhiteIsMyBrother]

I have come across this deodorant that's supposed to contain no bad ingredients for your skin. I like the fact that it's dry as I've never liked roll-on deodorants and would rather not use a spray one. Does anyone here use the Pitrok crystal one? Here it is www.amazon.co.uk/PitRok-W1060-Push-Up-Crystal-Deodorant/dp/B000S858L0/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-nc-drs1_0?psc=1&keywords=PitRok+W1060+Push-Up+Crystal+Deodorant+100g&pd_rd_i=B000S858L0&qid=1605279546&cv_ct_cx=PitRok+W1060+Push-Up+Crystal+Deodorant+100g&dchild=1&s=drugstore&pf_rd_p=344521d5-1bc6-4c7a-9776-9c81f49df30a&pd_rd_wg=lvbHc&pf_rd_r=DQBQ34ANSAVQDW1DY492&pd_rd_w=TywX9&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&pd_rd_r=32dc4bd1-00d5-4fb6-b180-5fdb4c0b1e29&sr=1-1-0f636240-5ebc-47e0-a5f7-bb2a7fa20976

Yes! I really rate it. And it lasts forever

Yes and no problems at all.

Handy for preventing shaving rash anywhere on the body too. It’s basically shaving alum.

I use it every day and find it very effective.

Yes, works well, but I find not on very hot days or if I'm wearing synthetics.

Wasn't effective for me and I did whiff when wearing it

I've used one for years, for me personally it's more effective at keeping me odour free than sure/dove/Mitcham type antiperspirants. It doesn't stop me sweating but there's no smell at all.
I also like that it lasts for years so works out very economical and drastically cuts down on plastic packaging.
I rub the crystal onto wet skin straight after my shower. It's not a completely natural "no bad chemicals" product, it contains alum but I don't think it's as bad as other deodorants/ antiperspirants.

Yes I've used it for ages, it's great and as a PP said one stick lasts for years. It's not as effective as an anti-perspirant, so I wouldn't use it for a special night out or a wedding for example, but for everyday use it's good.

It's not all natural? I thought it was a block of something - salt/crystal, etc. Isn't it?

I used it years ago, it did stop wiffyness but you still sweated which was hard to get used to. Ii

I then bought the Aloe Vera one and had a massive reaction to it and haven't used it since

I don’t find it effective for me at all

I've been using Salt of the Earth for months now and it's very good, but is quite wet. Today I'm trying Nuud which is supposed to only need applying every 3-7 days, it's a cream so very easy to apply (but feels weird applying cream to armpits).

I thought those long-lasting creams are bad for you as they contain nasty stuff. Or was that only 30 years ago?

I use pitrok and find it slightly less effective than a regular roll on but I'm happy to accept that for the more natural approach

I've been using a Biork one from Holland and Barratt. It's brilliant! Really works and I wasn't expecting it to at all

It has aluminium in so I wouldn’t touch it

I swear by it - changed over to it years ago when I became allergic to regular deodorant and haven’t looked back. I find it to be the most effective deodorant I’ve ever used - and I live in a HOT country - and no white marks on black clothes is a bonus!

Didn’t work for me

Ingredients

I’ve never found any aluminium-free deodorant to be effective. I swear a normal amount (not too much) but I never feel clean in any of them and I’ve tried a good few including a Crystal one ...

It’s frustrating as it is nice to know you’re using a kinder product.

I use Bionsen, the stick one, on a daily basis. I find that I don't really sweat that much under my arms either these days (which is weird because as a teenager I had a serious serious problem with underarm sweating). But I still have a bottle of Sure anti-perspirant roll on as well, for when it does get very hot or I do feel a bit sweaty. But I really like Bionsen now.

I use the pitrok push up crystal one which I find very effective unlike the pitrok spray or roll on (the link looks like mine but says its a spray?) It takes a few days to kick in but then works fine for me could miss it a day or two before I notice, and lasts good six months or more. Love it. I do lots of sport too. I use soap to shower too which helps reduce whiffiness.

Hmmm, I tried it, it was definitely effective, no doubt about that. However, after only a week the reaction on my underarm skin was so bad (red weeping itchy lumps) it took weeks of steroid cream to clear it.
