A'kin Roll On Deodorant

I tried to like this, I really did. Alas, this deodorant left me smelling bad after a couple of hours. It wasn't pleasant. I wasn't even doing anything that strenuous. I've had to switch back to my usual, as this does nothing for me. I'm gutted that it didn't work, I had high hopes going into it.

I was very very excited to review this- I have a skin condition that can be worsened by using regular aluminium anti-perspirants. I loved the packaging and scent, and really enjoyed it the first time I used it, however the following 2 days I trialled wearing it all day on a busy active day to see how it handled summer sweat, and unfortunately after about 3 hours my underarms were smelly and this was quite embarrassing as I was out all day. Hopefully someday I can find a non aluminium deodorant that can do the job. I will still use this for less active days and it might be better for winter use (:

I liked the packaging colours of this roll on. The size is good too. A pretty typical roll on style with the ball.

The smell is nice, I trialled the Lime & Orange which was pleasant. It goes on nicely and isn’t messy and didn’t see any white marks etc so that’s good.

This deodorant didn’t work as well as I’d hoped though, I’m not super stinky but it really didn’t stand up as a deodorant. My partner and my 11 year old girl also trialled it and they both weren’t that impressed either.

Bit of a shame as it’s 100% natural and vegan. Unfortunately I wouldn’t purchase this again.

This deodorant had great promise. It smelt great, natural ingredients. When I first put it on I loved it. However by the end of my work day it smelt terrible. Most likely didn't agree with my skin type, but I wouldn't try it again. Sorry

I really felt hopeful this product was going to be great however I felt it didn't really mask my body odour and by lunch time I was feeling panicky that people can smell me! I'm not sure if I'm just extra hormonal at the moment and perhaps none of my deos are working well anyway? I'm kinda perimenopausal! Good points were the Akin had a really nice fragrance that smells clean and woody, I used the Gerainium and Woodsy scent. It doesn't interfere with my usual perfume, however I felt by lunch time I could smell my sweat getting a bit pongy. It didn't transfer any white onto my clothes which is a plus and it said it wouldn't, so Akin have that going for them. I think I would need to try this for a bit longer to see if it's my body or the product just getting used to me! Or try another fragrance, I am a big fan of Aluminum Free Deos so I'd buy this over some other anti-perspirant if it's easy enough to get at the supermarket. I thought the packaging was easy to use, I'm impressed that it's recycled too.

I tried the lime and orange scent, which smells so good. I loved how it left no white marks, I really noticed that it didn’t stain my clothes at all. It’s definitely one of the better natural deodorants I’ve tried out. I wouldn’t say that it personally provided me with 24 hour protection, more like 12 hours in my case. I still smelled nice after about 12 hours but it didn’t last beyond that for me. It’s very gentle on the skin and doesn’t irritate which I love. Overall I would recommend as a great natural alternative.

I tried the rose and mint deodorant. Loved the fragrance, sweetness of rose and fresh mint was a great combination. The formulation dried quickly with no sticky residue and no clothing transfer. I felt fresh all day. The design of the packaging aligns well with the brand, fairly attractive and modern. The price point for this product is quite a bit more than regular deodorants, but was reasonable for the quality and it lasted well. My only concern was that I am trying to reduce my use of single use plastic and would have preferred a non plastic container if possible. I would consider buying this product again in the future.

I really like the scent of this deodorant, very sweet and refreshing. This has a secure, screw on cap and glides easily on the skin. This did well during my intense gym session. Very pleased with this natural deodorant and no white marks on clothing. It doesn't contain aluminum which I always look for in a deodorant.

I've tried so many natural deodorants due to my sensitivity to aluminium, and I recently got a chance to try A'kin's Roll-On Deodorant in Lime & Orange thanks to Beauty Review.

So far it stands out for several reasons.

Firstly, it's a game-changer in preventing those embarrassing white marks on clothes – a relief, especially when wearing dark shirts. The liquid form makes application swift and hassle-free, and it absorbs quite fast.

The scent is subtle and refreshing, nothing overwhelming. What's more, it effectively keeps me odour-free throughout the day, a great improvement compared to other natural alternatives. For those with an active lifestyle, a reapplication might be necessary. I prefer to use a body mist along with it to be sure I smell good during the day.

Its compact size is practical for carrying in the handbag. However, it's worth noting that the price tag is on the higher side compared to other deodorants. But I prefer to pay more for better, non-toxic protection.

I'd definitely try the other scents.
