Seriously impressed — this stuff works!
I was a little skeptical at first, but AKT blew me away. "After Thunder" smells amazing—fresh, clean, and just the right balance of earthy and citrusy without being overpowering. It’s subtle but still noticeable in the best way.What really sold me, though, is how effective it is. I’ve used natural deodorants before and always ended up disappointed, but this one keeps me feeling fresh all day, even after workouts. No irritation, no residue, no weird stickiness.The balm texture takes a second to get used to, but it actually feels nice once you get the hang of it—and I love that it’s in a metal tube. No plastic, no waste. I've been using the same tube for over two months now and there's still plenty left. Definitely worth the price for how long it lasts.Gender free, aluminum free, and it actually works? I'm a fan for life.

Really Great Product!
This stuff works! Goes on smooth. Dries instantly. Doesn’t irritate sensitive skin. Keeps you dry (for normal everyday perspiration). No overwhelming scent and no underarm odor after more than 24 hours. I use about two pea sized amounts (recommended is one, but that isn’t quite enough for me). I’ve tried all scents (got the sampler) and my favorite is a mixture of numbers 1 and 4. Highly recommend this product. I’ve tried all the full body deodorants, and this is the best for me.

Stellar formula, faulty packaging
This is literally the best deodorant I’ve ever used. I got the unscented to try first and am stoked to try the scented versions. The lack of a thousand stars is purely for the packaging, which I’ll get to in a moment.I live in Texas and this stuff not only keeps me from physically sweating, there’s not even the faintest whisper of odor at the end of the day. I’ve tested it out in scenarios that my other deodorants would always fail, and it still succeeds. I always thoroughly wash my underarms before applying deodorant, and sometimes even use an AHA toner wipe prior to applying deodorant… and my other deodorants would still inevitably fail on some days or when wearing certain clothing.But this stuff, this I’ve applied to my armpits the next morning without showering or prepping (which is unheard of for me), just a schmear and out the door. And I’m still golden at the end of the day.I’ve worn it with the perma-stink tight shirt (you know the one: it’s fresh and thoroughly clean washed with enzyme cleaner, but it gets “activated” after it comes in contact with your body heat for a few hours), and I still smell fresh at the end of the day. I wore this while moving into a new home: nada. I was sweating a bit, but *zero* odor. My armpits were fresh. It’s wild.For reference: I typically use Necessaire roll-on (unscented or eucalyptus) or Kosas (all 3 versions). I liked both brands but they both made me physically sweat more, like profusely, more than if I wasn’t wearing deodorant (even if I allowed them to dry fully before getting dressed), and sometimes towards the end of the evening I’d have a little funk. Prior to that when Lume came out, I was all about it, but after they discontinued the jasmine scent that worked for my body, all of the other fragrances did not mix kindly with my body. And it was a potentently, unpleasant situation.I’ve tried them all as they say, the drugstore brands (dove, etc), natural brands (Tom’s, Native, etc), the boutique brands like (bumble & bee), the more luxe brands (Necessaire, Salt + Stone, etc), the subscription ones like Myro. Many homemade recipes, etc. Buy AKT is just a truly stellar formula.Minus stars for the packaging: the packaging in theory is perfect (all metal tube 🙌🏼 which is part of the reason for my purchase), however it’s super faulty. I used it three days in a row just fine, but on each subsequent day it became more difficult to squeeze anything out, until ultimately *nothing* came out. At least not from the mouth piece - it exploded out of the seam. Trying to contact the seller for a replacement. Hopefully it’s a fluke and not the norm, because this tuff is dreamy.

Good product, terrible packaging
I actually really like the deodorant. It works and smells nice. The Onsen reminds me of Froot Loops when I catch a whiff while wearing it. But the packaging is awful. On one of my tubes, the cap doesn’t even screw on completely anymore so I can’t take it anywhere without it leaking. I have to keep it propped up in the same spot when not in use. It’s really frustrating because I want to buy this often, but the packaging is what prevents me from buying more. Even using a key to twist it gets difficult once you’re near the end of the tube. I really hope they update this packaging and I will buy it as long as they make it.

The best on the market!
The only deodorant that has ever worked! There is a learning curve, but if you keep it sealed well, and get a cheap metal "hair color" tube key to twist it up, it's fantastic.It's doesn't irritate skin, not greasy, doesn't ruin clothes although you might get white streaks which I'm willing to take for something that works so well!In over 40 years I haven't found anything besides MegaBabe Geo Deo that works for me, and Akt is superior. Both of them need to be rubbed in with hands btw.After thunder is a nice more masculine scent although I use it just fine. Halcion Summers smells really good, yummy and earthy. Definitely tomato vine! Appropriate for any gender. Orange Grove is my favorite though as it's really nice, not super sweet at all, and light enough to not interfere with perfumes I may wear. It also just works best for my skin chemistry. I haven't tried the other scents but I definitely will!
