Pro Tip: Smell good in your heart and perhaps talking about smelling good on your body will be easier. Lume works in ways most of the major brands WISH they could (and/or falsely say they do). None of the cover up smells (I got the unscented), none of the harmful chemicals, just a solid Ph balance that even after a couple of initial uses pretty much deleted my B.O. (oh noes - talking about body odor!) I also got the wipes (cucumber scented) and while I wish they could be a little more sturdy, they totally help give you a boost when you need a refresher. I cannot tell you how many defunct deodorants I have in my bathroom cabinet right now that say they do what Lume actually DOES. Don't get distracted by the pearl clutchers. It felt really gritty going on and the scent wasn't too pleasant.

I continued to use as directed, and to my demise I have experienced horrible burns under my armpits and under and in between my breasts. I have had a horrible and unrelenting reaction, I'm in constant pain every day, nothing soothes the burn or the itch OR the smell. My clothes hurt when they touch any of the burns and I'm afraid to go back to my old deodorant or put anything on my skin at this point which is definitely not ideal. I have tried everything to help soothe my skin and have cried several nights due to the situation. This is the most sever allergic reaction/chemical burn I have ever experienced. This burns and looks as though my skin is actively melting. The pain is excruciating and the burning is unbearable.

The smell from under my arms is embarrassing and GOD AWFUL! I'll be reporting this to Lume and will be expecting a full refund. This was my experience and I hope you have a much different one. Thankfully I am seeing my dermatologist this week.
