@chiclet and everyone else...

In case you may have missed some of Lume's current ads, they talk about the reformulation of the scents due to many customer complaints and dissatisfaction. It sounds like they're punching up the fragrance in the scent options offered.

Sounds simple enough. There's not a hack to change skins pH that's similar to what this product does? Just wondering. I'm always thinking in problem solving mode🙂

@Texasmouse  I would take the opinions of those who are using it before I take the word of a doctor who, IMO, if they don't see a financial gain in the product won't recommend it.

Try wiping your underarm with Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) to change the ph and discourage bacteria. I use Braggs organic ACV. It's a temporary fix, especially in a rather closed or the lesser exposed underarm area. But it does work.

I also read about a glycolic deodorant on line somewhere. Kostas, or something like that ... helps change the ph and alter the bacterial environment. I had a bottle of glycolic cleanser and have been using that. Seems to help but I can't offer specific percentages etc just thinking and trying.

What do you think @SilleeMee ? Any thoughts or opinions?

I use the unscented...Target has Lume in store & online, they sell the mini try me size...that's a good way to sample the scents before buying the full size.

I don't actually have a problem. I just thought there was probably a hack for this Lume product.
The ACV hack makes sense. That stuff has many good uses 👍

There is a moisturizer on the market call Lume Bio.   It's not made by the same people who make the deodorant.

Salicylic acid in a 2% strength works also. There are several kinds of products with 2% BHA including pads, toners, astringents and liquid exfoliants.  Stridex comes in a 2% BHA w/o alcohol and that can be used to cleanse private areas as well. I like to use Clean & Clear Astringent w/2% BHA /alcohol on my armpits before I apply my regular deoder/antiper. Let it dry beforehand of course. Many choices when it comes to 2% salicylic acid products.

Glycolic acid in 10% or lower will work also. Keep in mind the higher percentages will tend to feel more tacky with that kind of acid.

My sister sent me a trial size of Malen & Goetz Eucalyptus deodorant.  I'm addicted to it and it's all that I use now.  I don't even have to apply daily.   The scent is wonderful and it's effective.  There is also no bad stuff in it that has been mentioned.

I think they offer several scents from which to choose,  and it lasts FOREVER!
