AWEFUL!!
AWEFUL! I wore it about a week and at first, it was great. I suffer from very bad smelling armpits due to peri menopause, and I have tried it all, so I finally decided to give Lume a try. I didn't want to prior due to the price. Well, I bought the vanilla one and it smelled ok. I used it for about a week and then all of a sudden, my armpits burned soooo bad! I broke out in a rash, and it really stopped working for the smell. I would never recommend this deodorant.
Lume must have changed their formula
Lume must have changed their formula. Crème user for 3 years. Now rash, stinging and itchy underarms. Switch to stick. Same reaction. It also no longer holds for any longer than 12-16 hours. Very disappointed. 7 ppl in my family who used Lume deodorant say the same things.
It only lasts two hours.
I wish I had seen the reviews before buying it. I was shorted 70 hours. Applied it after showering and in two hours it quit working. Dove works much better.
I bought a spray deodorant
I bought a spray deodorant, the spray didn’t work after telling me how to get it to spray. They gave me a credit but had to add money to purchase, the can I received is the same thing, it is hard to get it to spray and then runs down the can. What a waist and disappointment.
Lume Unscented Smells Terrible
Lume Whole Body Deodorant Unscented body cream smells so bad I would never put it on my body. It smells vaguely like poop. I would really give it a zero.
I started using lume antiperspirant…
I started using lume antiperspirant deodorant and it doesn't work my arm pits keeps showing wet spots under my arms really bad looks like I going to switch back to Gillette, cool wave, what can I say I gave it a shot but no thank you.
Lume is deceiving it doesn't work
Lume is deceiving it doesn't work, still leaves body odor 👎
This product is twice the cost of my…
This product is twice the cost of my regular brand, but thought I'd give it a try.
I bought the dial up, unscented. It does have an offensive odor. It left my pits sticky. I tried the unscented powder spray. The odor was very, very offensive and went on drippy wet. I tossed both products and will not be purchasing lume again.
5 different spray deoderants leaked or stopped working
I really did like Lume when I first tried it. I bought the spray deoderant from my local Walmart. First off, it works for 24 hours not 72 hours. The main reason I will no longer buy Lume anymore is that I have bought or had to exchange 5 different spray deoderants because the spray stopped working before the bottle was gone or the bottles started leaking. I finally gave up on buying anymore when I realized it was a really poor bottle spray design. I tried calling Lume even and got no answer. I left a message and never received a call back, so unfortunately a good product is ruined by a bad design and poor customer service. You lost me as a customer because of this.
Worked for 24-hours
I'm female, age 61, and trying to get through menopause. I purchased the product through Fred Meyers because they're great about returns if a product fails. I bought 2 of the Lavender Sage, whole body sprays. One can the spray nozzel stopped working partailly through, so it was returned for a refund. The other can the nozzell got stuck 'on' and it wouldn't stop spraying so I threw it away. I'm trying the Whole Body Deodorant. When I use it at night then it get's me through 24-hours. I haven't been able to make it to the advertised 72-hours. So far after using it 3-months, I like the product and will continue to use it.

Purchased the dial up and it worked just fine for me. The price is a lot, so I am back to my regular deo.
I loved the original Lume deodorant
I loved the original Lume deodorant. Powder the rose the coconut worked very well for me. The tangerine did not work for me so you definitely have to find what works best for your body that being said the new deodorant that they came out with with the aluminum in it I am highly disappointed. It smells nothing like powder for the one that I selected and I would not have bought it had I known that there was aluminum in it I thought it was just different packaging. Do I sweat no so in that regards it does work, but I am not happy that in all natural company went as far and placed aluminum in their product.
Worst product ever
Worst product ever, I developed a chemical burn after a week of use
They say it's safe for private area. It's not. I've been getting painful sores on my private skin area. I looked it up and experts say NEVER apply inside vagina. advertised it's safe . They lie
I've been getting painful sores on my outer skln if vagina area
Itchy underarms and red rash
Used Lume underarm for about 3 months. Noticed my underarms were a bit itchy - thought it was due to the warmer weather here. This morning my underarms were extremely itchy - they are very red and covered in a rash! I washed area well and itching stopped. Liked it up to this point, but will no longer use.
You have to pick the right Lume scent
You have to pick the right scent of Lume. I had the Tangerine one before and it had a more pleasant smell. I bought Alpine this time as I'm into spa scents in general. It actually has a stank of its own, not much better than mine! They only have a 60 day return policy. I hadn't used it right away, but started more recently and it's too late to return it.
Disappointment
I was so excited to try since developed by obgyn. That changed very quickly. I'm very disappointed. Not only didn't it last and left white marks on all my clothes but it went on like chalk. My store bought is much better and will be tossing lume and back to my store bought. Even my sis-in-law hates it. So sad!
This shit stinks so bad 🤢 I was making…
This shit stinks so bad 🤢 I was making care packages for the houseless. I won't give that to anybody. Putting stink on is not supposed to be the goal yuck. The only thing usable IMO is the scent free wipes. But I won't be purchasing again.
I Got VIOLENTLY ill from this deodorant
I have tried this company in multiple iterations because it was recommended by a friend. zthe first time I used it, it was new to market and I purchased the unscented kind. It smelled ATROCIOUS. I even had friends smell it to see if I was just sensitive to it. I literally could not give it away. (I bought a 2 pack and 1 was unopened). I ended up throwing them out after a yr of rejection from ppl to take them off my hands.
I then tried a stick deodorant several yrs later. The lilac blah blah blah. It smelled fine. Strong, but I liked it. I started having these "super productive" workouts where I was suddenly sweating non-stop all over, and Lume keot me from smelling rank.
I then switched to the spray kind because that was all that was available when I needed to replenish my storage. The week I changed my deodorant, I was violently ill. Dry heaving, migraines, actual vomitting, profusely sweating. I'd wake up in the middle of the night covered in sweat...had some sort of bug... or so I thought. This lasted around 2.5 weeks. I noticed that I was fine when traveling, though, so I assumed something in my apt was making me ill. We suspected mold poisoning.
One morning I was getting dressed and applied my deodorant and became VIOLENTLY ill within seconds of application. Testing a theory, I washed the deodorant off and left the room. I was fine within a few minutes. I stopped using Lume and have not had any symptoms since.
My doctor and I realized I'm allergic or intolerant to some of Lume's ingredients. My body was treating lume like a toxin/poison. Idk what is in it, but the sweating that I had w my workouts? Gone. I still sweat some, but not like I did when I used Lume. I also no longer have the vomitting or migraines. I am positive for the MTHFR gene, which could be related, so if you also have this... please be aware.
As a side note: my friend also tried Lume for a month and hated it. We both gave away our packages. Would not recommend this brand to anyone. ever.
I purchased the Lavender and sage…
I purchased the Lavender and sage deodorant and body lotion in 2022. It was wonderful, it smelled great but did not last 72 hours. Fast forward to 2025. I needed more deodorant and body lotion and sense I was somewhat happy with my first purchase I decided to buy again. Bad idea! The body lotion which I bought the lavender and sage since I was somewhat happy with that scent. The new order was very very different than my first order. The first order of the body lotion was thicker, my second order of the body lotion was very runny like a cheap hotel lotion and it smelled different, very disappointed with the second order. I contacted Lume and this is their explanation: 'We changed our formula in 2022' that's it ! no I am sorry you are experiencing this with our product, no we will happily refund your money, NOTHING! I threw the product away, it was so runny that I didn't even have to squeeze the tube to get the lotion out, I opened the cap and the lotion just started running out of the tube. Very disappointed and I will never buy this product again. I expected a little more from the company after purchasing an over priced cheap hotel lotion. I do not recommend Lume.
