The Greeench

I bough my my first greench and it lasted almost 6 months. I was using this daily! As a vegan my switch to natural deodorant was rough and the I found this. Fast fwd to my second bottle and things went downhill. I have a theory that they change the formula, not sure if this is what happened. My underarms are not happy when there's sodium bicarbonate involve. That second bottle gave me hell and furry underarms. I've dreamt of the day they have an option that won't be horrible to my skin. I really loved this one.

Basically, if you're not a white person, do not buy this deodorant. I've been using it for about a month, and I have dark skin patches in my underarms now. I'm Indian with an olive to medium skin tone, and have never had hyperpigmentation issues in my underarms before. I've been looking into this, and it seems like baking soda in natural deodorants is the main cause for hyperpigmentation for darker skin tones. The second ingredient listed in this deodorant is sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Disappointed that I have to throw almost the whole product away and look for something else, and now have to find a way to reverse the hyperpigmentation.

I wanted to try this for a while before leaving a review. The smell isn't my favorite, but it's not super overpowering once it's been on for a while, which is good. I used a makeup brush for a while to apply, but I felt like I wasn't getting enough on and I'd end up super sweaty and kind of smelly. I've just been applying with my palm (pouring a little mound into my palm and just cupping and rubbing into my armpit) and it's been working A LOT better. Most importantly, this does not burn my armpits. So sensitive pit folks, this is the way to go!

Smells like horse urine. I thought okay that's gotta be better than body odor scent but it also doesn't work as a proper deodorant. On the off chance you like the smell this will need to be reapplied several times a day in order to smell at all. Lastly it gets all over your clothes leaving you looking completely unprofessional.

My favorite deodorant by far. Wish I could buy tons of this! Takes away the sweaty feeling and makes you feel refreshed. will buy again and again.

keeps you dry and odor free

I've been using this deodorant for several years now and it almost always works, even during sweaty workouts or long days in the heat. I don't particularly like the smell of it but I find once it is applied the scent fades pretty quickly and my armpits smell neutral and clean. The packaging definitely sucks; I've had four bottles and the caps broke within the first week on all of them so unfortunately they're not really portable unless you transfer them to a different container. Messy to apply, you'll need to sweep your floor a lot more using this than other deodorants! It didn't get 5 stars because of packaging and the application, but it's still highly rated because I do find it very effective and it lasts forever. I've had the same bottle that I use 1-2 times a day for a year and it still is only halfway finished.

I made the transition to this deodorant, from Secret, for two weeks. I am pleasantly surprised with its effectiveness. I will say working out on super hot days, I will need to look at their other products that might be stronger. I work in a office setting a lot of sitting but the anxiety kicks in, I may need to add more.

I've been using this product now for over three years now. I love the smell and it definitely works. I use this alone or in conjunction with an all natural deodorant by dusting this product over. Works like a charm and keeps me nice and fresh all day.

Let me just tell you I love me some Greench. It feels so silky and smells herbaceous and fresh. I have to take a moment though to mention how ridiculously amazing Lush customer service is. I had some issues receiving my package (due to the carrier, not Lush) and every customer service person I spoke with was incredible and they made sure I eventually got all my goodies! So shout out to the most amazing customer service team ever!!
