1 Steph  · Worst deodorant – By far the worst deodorant by far, greasy sweating already making me sweat more. 12 weeks for 1 tiny sample.
5 Daniel J.  · Best deodorant I've tried – It lasts multiple days with one application. No nasty ingredients.
5 Gale Bolinger  · Great deodorant without the nasty stuff – It works for my sensitive skin without the chemicals I don’t want.
5 Chocol8Mamma  · It REALLY actually works! – I LOVE this product!!! Does what it clains it will do; lasts 7 days wirh the tiniest amount successfully!!!
5 Dee  · It really works!! – I've been trialling the Sport deodorant and am very impressed. My son and daughter are also trialling it and are loving it as well.
5 Sarah  · Seriously, can’t survive without it – It works well and does give me a rash like most other deodorants do. Very happy with this product!!

Wanted to love it, but not for me – I trialled some sachets and enjoyed that it didn’t leave a milky residue after sweating during workouts like other deodorants have, but it had very little staying power. The owners reached out and suggested I try the foot deodorant as it’s stronger and can help my armpit environment to acclimate to their deodorant a little quicker/easier. I bought the full container thinking a good dose of time using the product may have been necessary to get a better result (ie build the acid mantle of my skin back up after using baking soda type déodorants for so many years) unfortunately I’ve already used the entire pot and still stink by mid morning. The reapplication to avoid smelling has meant I’ve used it up far quicker than designed and I can’t imagine buying another pot at current cost when I’ve run through it so quickly and it wasn’t very effective. I must just be particularly odorous, unfortunately.

Hey Elle, Get in touch with us because I still think we can get you there and fix you up with another pot so you can keep persevering. I would next recommend you try going commando. That means on a weekend or if you are in lockdown using no deodorant for at least 3 days. This will give your skin a break and Lavilin time to work its magic. You should find the first day you will be whiffy. Just preserver and have a shower that night and don't reapply deodorant. Then by the second or third day, you should not be smelly. Then only reapply Lavilin when BO returns. I know it sounds counter-intuitive but we have found this works for customers who are having to apply every day.

I'd been using the original blue Lavilin for years and had no issues. Although the new Australian one doesn't work at all despite their claims it's the same formula. I tried 5 x packs of roll on and they didn't work, then i ordered 5 x sport ones and they are even worse. Make me stink the way I wouldn't stink if I had no deodorant. I messaged the… Read more

company via their website but received no reply. What a scam with disinformation and then not even replying. Very disappointing and if you are looking for a good deodorant please do yourself a favor and get the original blue one from the original supplier (blue) and not this fake one.

Not made in Australia – Received my sample and so excited to try this product. Applied as per instructions and unfortunately had a reaction with arm pits stinging and bright red. However, it did stop the stink. I support Australian made and thought this product was made in Australia, which it is not. Overall, I don't doubt this product works, unfortunately, not on me. Show details

I got this free sample of the Sport variety and have ordered a bigger one as I liked the sample. It has a nice scent and is a cream which is different to the roll on I normally use. I exercise a lot so this provides protection so I don't smell bad when I go out shopping etc. Highly recommended. Show details

Highly recommend giving this product a go – My armpits no longer smell bad. I usually apply it every 3-4 days after I shave, but I have gone longer and only noticed my BO coming back around day 5-6. During the first few weeks I applied it every day, then 2 days, increasing the gap as it started working. Neutral scent and non irritating. Amazing value for money too, I bought my first pot in Jan 22 and only ordered a new one in Feb 23! Show details ·  1

Works exactly as stated – I've been using natural deodorants for a little while but found over this last summer that they weren't quite cutting it. I can't actually remember how I came across Lavilin but thought I'd give their samples a go. I started using it during autumn (I live in Melbourne so it's not a particularly sweaty season) and found I could go about 7 or 8 days… Read more ·  1

before needing to reapply. I did spend 2 weeks on the Gold Coast and had the same protection so I'm hopeful it will work just as well over summer. Aside from preventing odours, I love that there is no transfer to clothes (some of my previous deodorants left smells or permanent white patches which washing still could not get rid of). Make sure you check their usage guide as you really do not need to use much at all and I recommend making sure your armpits are completely dry before applying as it can pull a bit if they're still a bit damp. I'd highly recommend this deodorant and have in fact already got one of my sisters on to it.

Works for me – This is one of those products where you don't know how well it suits you until you try it. I ordered some samples in March and ended up buying a full tub in May. Overall I find it does the job well. I started by applying every couple of days for two weeks, since then I get a full week out of one application most weeks, but I should point out it… Read more

was winter and I am working from home, so not doing anything too sweaty! There have been perhaps 4-5 weeks where I applied twice a week.

It is definitely most effective after a shower at night and the smell is quite pleasant and relatively neutral. Having tried Axilla in the past I found this more gentle on my skin, nicer smelling (especially if you're sensitive to smells) and easier to apply. I probably use a little more than recommended per application to spread it around a bit further - I reckon I am about half way through the tub after 5 months. It goes on well and absorbs fairly quickly. There does appear to be a white residue on the skin after applying, but I haven't had any issues with marks on clothing.

I feel like there is a lot of packaging for such a small tub, I would love to see a refill option!

This has changed the way I think about BO! – I have used well-known antiperspirant deodorants for as long as I can remember. Doing FIFO and lots of sport, I went through a large can (Rexona, Nivea, and Dove were my go-to (whichever was on special)) nearly every week, and yes, they did the job; but I knew there were better solutions out there that don't contain aluminium and still do the job.… Read more

I saw one of their ads on social media and decided to give it a go. It sounded too good to be true but all I had to lose was a few $ so I gave the men's a crack. At first, it didn't work, and even after the recommended 7 days it still wasn't working. I messaged the owners (very helpful) and they sent me a few samples of the sport version (stronger) and explained having used the antiperspirants for so long means it can take longer for this to work properly.

Long story short, a few days into using the sport version I noticed results and I am still using it (1-2 times per week (yes it does last up to a week for me)) 6 months since I first noticed results.

It lasts up to 10 days for me but usually around 5 days when I am moving around 12+ hours per day. I don't know the science behind it, but it is more effective if I apply it to a dry armpit post-shower as I am going to bed (just like the instructions indicate).

I have even recommended this to friends.

It is worth your time.

Worked straight away – Worked straight away for me which I was amazed about! I’ve had terrible BO for a long time and would even smell after a shower. I used this once and it worked straight away. I was very surprised but very impressed. I initially ordered the sport sample and will be buying the full tub. Show details

Brilliant product – Received my sample pack and WOoooW Lavilin foot and underarm deodorant is truly impressive. It's remarkably effective in keeping both areas odor-free and fresh. I wish I had discovered this product earlier, as it would have saved me from many uncomfortable situations. It's definitely a game-changer in personal hygiene.

Didn't work at all – Customer service was super friendly, but sadly the product did precisely nothing for me. I called them and they happily refunded me. The issue apparently was that I'd been using bicarb for quite a few years and there's an acidity issue with my skin or something. I really don't have the patience to use it for longer, which is a shame because it… Read more

No idea why people like this – I've never had issues using a cheap deodorant from the supermarket but wanted to try out a natural one. This product does not work as promised for me. You need a lot, you need to apply it everyday, it stains your clothes. I also need to apply it more often since I discontinued the cheap supermarket deodorant (rexona). The cream is rather thick,… Read more

it isn't convenient to apply. My husband who has underarm hair would not want to use it. I also don't like how you have to screw open the container, it's fiddly

Bert pleasantly surprised – With a smelly 14 year old boy who plays sport every day, my house was smelling like a gym locker smothered in lynx. I was getting suffocated by lynx every time he went anywhere, but it only covered the BO for a while. Not to mention the cost of the lynx was really adding up! When I saw I could order samples without having to put in credit card… Read more

Great product that works for me – I've been using this product for more than six months now. Throughout the summer months on our way to WA and back I applied it once a week. Although I perspired on hot days there was no problem with smelly armpits. Unfortunately my husband tried it but he didn't find it worked for him. He's now using the roll-on for men every 72 hours, unless he's been doing heavy work, then he uses it more often. Show details

Great deodorant! – I have been using Lavilin deodorant creams for about 2.5 years now and they are awesome. Last purchase was about a month ago. Only have to apply to underarms once weekly after a shower and you are good to go the whole week! No nasty ingredients and very subtle fragrance. Show details

Blown away – I was skeptical at first but this product is defiantly worth it! I have worn it as an all day deodorant and at the gym for a week now and I have had no issues with odor. The product quite literally removes all smell. I’m not sure one application would last a full 7 days on me, but maybe for others. It’s brilliant, I’m fully converted. Show details ·  1

Fabulous product! – Started using this as I have allergies to lots of deodorants. After a few uses I can now get about 5-6 days between applications. Took a few weeks to get to that point. Easy to use and I have no irritation at all. I love not having to think about deodorant every day!! Show details ·  1

stink-free days to enjoy. (I apply the 72hr Sports stick on the remaining two days of the week so that my application falls on the same day and I don’t loose track of time!) Calling Lavilin Cream Deodorant a life-saver might be stretching the truth but I never want to live without it again!!

Does what it says on the box – I've been using Lavilin for about 3 weeks now and I'm experiencing results as claimed. I need to reapply once every 4-5 days. I purchased the trial pack/kit for about $10 or so. You just need to commit and approach it with an open mind - having the slightest whiff of odour after day 4 does not mean the product doesn't work.

It's natural and no fuss – Having to use it only weekly instead of daily plastering on deodorant that covers the smell, so only masks the problem, is great. It's healthier too. Show details

While we use more during summer, I think that’s to be expected. We get the leap year bundle which has 4 of them.
