Can't stand the Lume woman/Dr./inventor. She's gross and I'm glad I have no need for her product.

Are you sure you don't need it?

For me it's not the content, for some reason I just don't care for this woman. I'm not sure if it's her voice, demeanor or what but I don't usually get annoyed by commercials. This particular person just rubs me the wrong way.

I have seen the cheeky commercials. Pun intended! LOL

And although I think the woman says she's a ob/gyn, I don't think the product is just for ladies. It sounded like it's a deodorant intended to be used in more areas than just the underarms-- groin, feet, skin folds. Fortunately I am not that stinky and I don't use specialty deodorant.

It's completely fair for you to decide a product is not for you-- for any reason.

@RollTide2008 - I would say that every female could benefit from the body wash.

ITA I believe if one owns and uses washcloths/sponges and bath wash/bar of soap and in good health you would not need this product. If the odor cannot be eliminated with previously mentioned products perhaps a Dr.'s appointment is called for.

Everyone talking about body cleaning and odor reminded me of this book:

Clean by James Hamblin.

It's about how we're too clean and all this cleaning is killing our skin's micobiome layer. The layer of good bacteria that is important to the body's ability to defend itself.

A worthwhile read, especially, if you have a lot of body odor.

Crude and inappropriate commercials follow hand in hand with our crude and inappropriate culture. I believe shock value also plays a role in commercials. I don't watch TV anymore. It started with 9/11 and the 24/7 coverage of that. I stopped watching news. Then I became less tolerant of the "entertainment" on TV. And like someone else mentioned those poor animal cruelty commercials were more than I could bear. Personal care commercials have gotten too personal for my taste. I also don't appreciate violence in commercials... People getting hurt . And we're supposed to laugh at that. My dad has always said I see the world through rose colored glasses. Maybe that's why I feel the way I do about this topic. Heck, I don't even appreciate the term "pit" for underarms!

As far as the Lume product, I tried the one for sweaty faces. I doubled my order. Let me tell you, that product did a number on my face in the worst way possible. It was so incredibly dry and harsh. One of the things they say is that it can be used as a primer. I don't think so! Maybe if you just literally oozed oil, but then again oil and sweat are two different things. I tried to send it back but they told me to keep it. It promptly went into the trash can. I don't sweat under my arms. Sweaty palms was the first advertisement I saw online for this product. I don't have that problem either. Knowing how harsh The face product was on my face I would never try Lume on any part of my body.

Commercials for products definitely influence whether or not I will use them.

Years ago I watched commercials for Candies shoes that showed the model sitting on a toilet with her panties down around her lower legs. Maybe we couldn't see anything, but I thought it was crude. I have never owned, or bought for someone else, anything by Candies.

Lume does not make a product for the face. You must have some other product confused with this one. Lume is used for feet, underarms, privates and other skin fold areas where human beings tend to sweat. It has never been advertised for the face.
