Review (3/5): Remedy for Pit Burn! Plus Scent Reviews
I love Primal Pit Paste, three stars for scent and armpit burn. Read on for remedy!
Here are the pros:
- it WORKS. I used to use the strongest antiperspirants available and always stunk. This brand has been life changing!
- lavender, lemongrass and thyme, and Primal Spice scents smell wonderful. I am SO disappointed that Primal Spice was discontinued.
- it's easy to apply. Just spread with your fingers on a clean armpit. Rinse hands. No biggie.
Cons:
- I had a bad reaction to the baking soda. Armpit burn and folliculitis. My dermatologist had me use hydrocortisone cream briefly to help. I switchedto the "light" version but it did not keep the stink at bay. Ultimately I was able to remedy pit burn by mixing in food grade diatomaceous earth into the jar (a couple of tsp). No, the burn and folliculitis was not my armpit detoxing. It was my sensitive skin reacting to the pH level of the product. (Strong enough for a man, pH balanced for a woman)
- Royal and Rogue has an awful smell. I love a good hippy scent. This smells like damp molding grass. I've used the patchouli and do recommend that scent. It's just not one I can deal with evey day.
- Coconut and lime stings a LOT. Not sure if it's the lime but beware. I couldn't use which is too bad because it would be a fun summer smell.
I've used this brand for 2+ years and keep going back because it works (especially with my pit burn remedy). I like to buy directly from Primal Pit Paste but their shipping rates are high. With Amazon Prime it's less expensive to reorder (once you know the scent/version) works for you)
