Good product if you can afford it – Been using the mens deodorant cream for two years and have used two x 15g mini-tubs. I've kept notes of how often I needed to use it over this time and I used a full tub in approximately one year with 65 applications under each arm. Using one tenth of a gram per pit each time (which is the recommended raindrop size usage). This works out to be… Read more
about 57 cents per day for the deodorant. I do mostly office style work but am more active with gardening and other outside physical activities at weekends. So applications were as required with sometimes needing two over two days and other times I could go for 7-13 days. I strongly suspect it has worked better when I used an anti-bacterial soap under my pits when showering as this just continues the effectiveness from the Lavilin cream which also has an anti-bacterial ingredient. So, the effectiveness is down to how much one can reduce the bacterial activity underarm which of course causes the odor. This American invention has combined this anti-bacterial component and a pleasant scent with wax. This is clever as the wax both keeps the sweat pours "clogged" with anti-bacterial component while at the same time prevents the body easily "washing out" the waxy substance with sweat. I suspect this is why they suggest using it straight after showering as a shower will remove the old cream and then you apply a new round before the bacteria can start to multiply again (overnight?). Anyway, it is expensive at 57c per application and this will vary according to how often you need it. But it has not caused itchiness, rash, or clothes stains. Whether you think it is dear or cheap depends on your budget and your need for an effective product. Americans are clever marketers and spin doctors. Sometimes their products live up to the spin, and other times they are complete rip-offs (like that "Skincell" skintag treatment which is as close to being a scam as it comes but which is so hard to prove that few can be bothered.) I hope this review helps.
Great product, great result! – Never thought the day would come but Lavilin kept its promise. With one application, I stay BO-free for more than a week. Great product, a definite recommendation from me for anyone struggling with BO! Show details

I was a sceptic – So living in the tropics, getting sweaty is just a part of life, and there are times when you just don't want to cover yourself in Lynx Africa. Being in my 30's I had sort of come to the realisation that I just have to live with occasional body odour and would just be conscious of who I was leaning over at work or if I was reaching up to grab the… Read more · 3
last tub of peanut butter from the grocery shop with someone nearby, maybe I would take the home brand one from the bottom shelf. Probably not that extreme but you get my point, it was just something that was always in the back of my mind especially in summer. They say your mobile is always listening, but maybe it is now also smelling! as while I was sitting on the couch scrolling facebook I seen an ad for this Lavilin product with bold claims AND a free trial. It gave a story about being used in WW2 and is now available in Australia, which to be honest I don't believe any of the marketing jargon, but I thought, let me just see if this is actually free and at least give it a try.
Clicking through the ad for the free sample, they do try and upsell you on some other samples for only like $1 or $2 dollars but I didn't want to give them my card details that easily so I didn't accept any of the offers besides the free sample, which to their credit ended up being completely free, no catch. About a week later this tiny little packet of cream arrived with some instructions on how to use it and to be honest I was blown away. and I am a hard core sceptic of internet marketing companies so I wasn't expecting anything.
You apply once under your arms after a shower and for about 4-5 days there was literally no smell. It may have lasted longer than that but I still had some sample left so I didn't want to wait to find out! My wife probably got sick of me putting my armpits in her face saying... 'can you smell anything?', but I sure didn't! As I said, I was a sceptic, I had zero expectations but this is hands down my best 'life hack' discovery recently! I have since ordered the full tub which is about $37 delivered and is expected to last a year. Even if it lasts half that time I will be happy.
If my local Netball club will take an overweight 30+ year old male as their new goal defence I now have the confidence to get my pits in all the faces!
Jokes aside, great product, highly recommend at least trying it.
I love only having to apply weekly – Lavilin does what it says it does. I apply it once a week and forget about it. I exercise several times a week without having to reapply. It’s great stuff. Show details
Seriously this is the best deodorant cream on earth!!! – Ever since using this amazing deodorant cream I can tell that it works for up to 7 days as stated on the packaging. I am never going back to traditional aerosol deodorants or anti-perspirants. I am now convinced it is okay to have underarm sweat and I do not have to be self-conscious about the smell anymore because now there is none. And I have… Read more
definitely stress-tested this by applying some before playing sport. And price-wise it is really affordable. The 10ml tub I bought has lasted me such a long time. Thanks so much Lavilin!
Negative reviews
Definitely not 7 days – This doesn't work as advertised and not all that well as a general daily use deodorant. I've been using this for a little over 3 weeks now and have had to apply it more than I would my previous deodorants/antiperspirants. Was looking forward to no more deodorant stains (aluminium free) and thought the 7 days odour free claim was a nice bonus. Alas, no dice. Show details
Doesn't work, poor customer service – I gave this deoderant a solid go, I had first bought the samples and had no success and messaged customer support and they insisted it was because my body wasn't used to it, I had been using natural deoderants for years but they insisted I need to detox, so I ended up purchasing it to see if they were right... I did everything they suggested and… Read more
nothing seem to work, I had to use this product everyday otherwise I would smell, it took me about a month or a month and a half and I used the entire thing and it still never worked as they claimed. I really gave it a fair go. And as a deoderant you have to apply everyday it is just not financially viable as it is significantly higher in price compared to anything else on the market. I had tried communicating all this to customer service but never got a response.... They even had sent another one of those emails asking for a review and I responded saying that I told you about my experience and you ignored me, someone responded but all they suggested was to try using the foot cream for underarms instead... But no way was I going to spend more money. I ended up getting a natural deoderants with no bicarb that I've been happy with instead.

Didn’t work at all for me – First day I used about double the recommended amount the night before bed as I do sweat a fair bit but had to change work shirts half way into the day because it started getting smelly, just as if I hadn’t used any deodorant at all. Show details
Hi Chris, there can be a transition time… Read more

EDIT: updating this review, as Lavilin just issued a refund. Although this product didn't work for me, they have excellent customer service! Doesn't work for me, especially in warm weather. I tried the free sample and it seemed promising so I purchased a tub. I found that I needed to keep reducing the interval between applications for it to do… Read more · 2
anything, until I was applying EVERY DAY and I still stank.
Their customer support tried to get it working for me, but I've given up and they've issued a refund.
Wanted to give something new a try and will never look back – Genuinely works for me. I don't get 7 days out of it, probably just one, but that's good enough for me because it actually works. No other product has done what this one does; eliminate the odour altogether, not just cover it up or overpower it with something else. Another huge plus here is that it doesn't cake up onto my clothes like the… Read more
anti-perspirants do which ruins so much of my wardrobe over time. Give it a go, seriously. The team is also excellent, customer service was a pleasure when I had some skin irritation from one variation of the product but not from another. Replacements were sent out within the day and I had peace of mind. I will continue to use this product as long as I can get my hands on it, never looking back honestly.
Stinker be gone – Sweating... so I'm a bit of a pro. But smelling like a wet dog after a swim? Not a chance, thanks to Lavilin. It still allows my body to sweat freely, but it keeps me from smelling like a science experiment gone wrong. Aluminium-free and keeping the odours at bay, Lavilin is my go-to for those hot Aussie days. I don't know how it works, but it does, and I'm forever grateful. Stinker? Not anymore! Show details
Excellent product – This product was a huge help and cleared my underarm problems virtually overnight. Apart from bad BO, my armpits became insanely itchy and sensitised from using commercial deodorants. I was desperate for solutions but every commercial product I tried just made things worse. Then I came across Lavilin and it was a godsend. The itch virtually… Read more · 1
disappeared and so did the smell. I only ordered a sample pack because I was sceptical but will definitely follow up with a tub order soon.

Product didn’t work for me, no response via email – Unfortunately the product didn’t work. I politely requested a refund. The company has not honored their money back guarantee therefore I am leaving this one star review. Not happy! **EDIT** They reached out to me and even sent out a few extra strength sample packs and some different methods to try. Unfortunately the product still wasn't suitable… Read more · 1
for me however they then honored their guarantee. The increase in stars isn't really for the product but for the friendly follow up service that was offered.
Awesome product – My 15yr old son has started using this and only puts on once a week and it last right through. Show details
Life Changing – After a lifetime of trying everything to reduce my underarm odor. I thought I’d give Lavilin a go. This product is without equal, it has completely changed my life. My family has also noticed how effective it is. Give it a try, you won’t regret it! Show details
Lives up to its promise – I’ve bought Lavilin for the whole family, which includes two teenagers. Even in the heat and humidity of a Queensland summer, we smell fresh as daisies. It is expensive but, since we’re only applying once a week, it lasts a long time. (In fact, I’ve just bought our second lot after 6 months) Show details
Great Product! – Very Happy with Lavilin products. Have bought a couple deodorant creams and find there easy to use and keeps me feeling fresh for the entire week! Have given up body spray entirely now. Will happily continue to be a Lavilin customer. Show details
Best Deodorant around – I can go for days after an application without a stink. Still shower daily just use the cream every 3 days or so and use the roll on daily as I am so used to putting something on. It's a bit more expensive than average Deo but it works so well worth it. Show details
Never go back – I have been using this for over a year now and have just received my new tub. This stuff works a treat and saves a lot of money wasted on other less effective products. Show details
Great product – Use it once a week and now no matter how sweaty I get I dont have to worry about stinking up the place.. Show details
No one loves toxic pits! – I'm a massage therapist and in my work I'm usually claimed up in a small warm room. Let's face it. Pits can get stinky and I used to change my shirt during the day to avoid the pong. Lavilin is fantastic. Not only does it effectively control my under arm odour, but the product also doesn't have a strong perfume to it. I like to use it twice a week and I feel so much more confident for it. Show details

Sorted out the stinky teenager! – I can't say we've been using it for long on my son but I have noticed an immediate improvement! I normally want to vomit any time my son comes close (not great for a mum) but after just one application he does not induce that sensation! I thought we would need a more regular application with him to get the smell under control, and we still may but so far I am super impressed. Show details
Recommended – Was initially prompted to buy for my teenager but both my husband and I have been using this with success. I occasionally apply twice a week as I live in the tropics but this is probably not needed. Show details
Never Stink !! – I work outside, in the hot and humid Northern Australia summer. I sweat like a bag of cats at a greyhound meeting. A little dab of this stuff keeps me odour free for a week. It's like a miracle. Show details
Works really well for what I need – The product for me personally lasts about 3 days (sometimes 2, sometimes 4 depending on what I’m doing/working/exercising etc) which is less than what is advertised however before this product I would have to apply deodorant probably 3 times a day. So this is a significant improvement for me personally and everyone is going to have different… Read more · 1
results. The tub is probably going to last me about 3 months which even though is less than what is promoted, Im still happy and only I’m spending the same amount on this product as I would my deodorant over the duration but this product lets me relax a little and have less stress about reapplying throughout the day and worrying if I’m smelly.
The only product that does what it claims to do! – Have been using it for about 18 months - it works amazingly well ! Show details
It works for me! – I’m in my early seventies and don’t break a sweat as often as I used to. However, I’ve been using lavilinn deodorant cream for many months and it has rarely let me down. It doesn’t leave unsightly stains on my clothing as conventional roll on supermarket deodorants used to and given how long one little pot lasts I suspect it is more economical. I’ll continue to use it.
Simply the best for sensitive smelly underarms – I've been using the cream for 2 years and it has been a saviour for my extremely sensitive underarms. Only having to apply it once a week is a bonus. Can't live without it now Show details
Works – Seems to work well but haven’t been game to test it for a full 7 days “I don’t want to be told”. I’m very sensitive to deodorants and have had a mild reaction to Lavilin, slightly itchy but manageable. I’d recommend giving it a go, it’s very economical and negates the need to put on deodorant every time you shower. Show details
