Sacred Santal Mandelic Acid Brightening Deodorant Gel with 48-Hour Odor Protection

The roller ball doesn’t work! This is just terrible! I was so excited,and wanted to love it.

I only used aluminum deodorants prior to this. I switched to a different aluminum free brand that darkened my armpits. I heard about the brightening effects of Cyklar and tried it. I truly fell in love. This is my third week of using it. By the end of the first week, my armpits were bright, though there was bad odor still. At the end of the second week, I found the odor start to lessen — I’m sure that has to do with my body adjusting to the aluminum free. I’m at the start of the third week and can’t really smell the bad odor and my armpits are not dark anymore. Things to note about this deo: 1. It may take time for your body to adjust. 2. LET IT DRY! I’ve found that not letting it dry can cause it to feel sticky and be more smell inducing. 3. It may not be for everyone & everyone is different.

This is my second bottle, and I absolutely love Cyklar! I use several of their products, including the body oil, perfume, hand and body moisturizer, and shower products. Everything smells amazing! This product has made such a difference for my underarms. They look much brighter and any unpleasant odor is completely gone. I’ll definitely keep repurchasing! Just be careful not to use it right after shaving because it can sting.

This works super well for me. In the very beginning I got a bit of an acrid bitter smell in my pits, which was not unexpected b/c I’m familiar with Mandelic acid deo—so I started wearing it after before-bed showers, and then the acrid smell just stopped, and the lovely, warm, woody scent of the Sacred Santal was all there was left, and no b.o. for at least a full day. I do let it fully dry before putting on clothes, and I don’t reapply unless I’ve bathed. I also understand that it’s not an antiperspirant, and I cannot expect to do a hard workout and not sweat or need to wash & reapply. Come on, why do people think a deodorant is failing if you push way past its reasonable functions? I’ve been using natural deodorants for like 15 years and I know the technology and chemistry has upgraded seriously in the last 7-ish years, but this still os one of the best *for me*. Also the only sandalwood-containing scent that doesn’t smell like dill to me. I real like the scent and I’m re-ordering.

Smells incredible.. but did not work for me. It became a mix of sweat, no and santal. Had high hopes really disappointed it didn’t work.

I love AHA deodorant so it was no surprise I liked this one! I love the Santal smell, it’s not too strong but very clean scented. I have definitely seen improvements with ingrown hairs and discoloration, I like to use this on days that I don’t shave my armpits because it can cause irritation (just as anything might after shaving). I love using it at night before bed as well, I feel like it really combats odor and works which is amazing! I struggled so long to find something that worked for my underarms and AHA deodorant was the key!

Just purchased and was excited to try based on positive reviews…..clearly we’re all incentivized. As some other people mentioned the roller ball does not work at all. I do love the scent, will be returning this bottle but would try again if the company fixes the quality issue.

I am fascinated by this product; I love its scent—bergamot, woods, and velvet musk, among other notes. It doesn't irritate my underarms, and best of all, with consistent use, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the dark discoloration I sometimes get there. It applies easily, dries quickly, doesn't stain my clothes, and offers 100% protection against odor. My underarms stay protected all day long.

It actually works. Yes you still sweat so it’s not my primary deodorant but I use it on days where I’m doing minimal active. Helps significantly with my hyperpigmentation.

it smells great, however, i didnt have odor problems before using this but now i do :\
