Buy it if

  • Baking soda deodorants bother you and you want an acid-based cream
  • You want one deodorant for more than underarms, as the maker intends
  • You do not mind rubbing in a cream with your fingers

Walk past if

  • You expect unscented to mean no smell; owners describe a sour odor
  • You want an antiperspirant; this does not stop sweat
  • You want the full 72 hours; some owners get far less
