Review (5/5): To my surprise, this deodorant actually works
Following many years of regular scented Speed Stick, I started using cedarwood and sandalwood variants of Every Man Jack deodorant a few years ago. And a few months ago, I started experimenting with other natural deodorants such as santal and eucalyptus variants of Salt & Stone. While I especially like the santal variant of Salt & Stone, it also comes with a price tag considerably higher than Every Man Jack. And while product claims state its 48-hour effectiveness after application, this feature doesn't really benefit me as a daily showerer. Until coming across this Modeo product, I had never heard of a natural mineral crystal deodorant. While the natural aspect of this product appeals to me, my curiosity peaked when reading about another reviewer's experience using a single stick of crystal deodorant for 12 years. I've used Modeo every day for the past week, and I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised. Coincidentally, I received my stick in the mail at the same time I developed a rash in my underarms, typically resulting in a stinging experience when applying deodorant products regardless of ingredients. Modeo caused no pain or stinging, and I have since gotten past a rash that would typically take a couple weeks to disappear. While this product may be scentless, I am definitely not scentless sans deodorant. Speaking of which, I've typically passed the scent test of an especially scent sensitive family member this past week. I used the word "typically" because while they detected absolutely no bad odor after the first day of my using Modeo, they did sense a hint of bad odor after subsequent days. That said, they've typically reached the same conclusion after my use of other deodorants, meaning this product is relatively status quo when it comes to odor protection - a good thing especially when considering the months (if not years) I expect this deodorant to last.
