Definitely the best refillable deororant I’ve tried so far. The others have either pulled my skin during application, have left lots of marks and residue, or had fragrance that hasn’t lasted. Being able to opt for one with antiperspirant action is also a bonus as my work environment can be very hot and the job physically demanding.

Incredible honestly

Incredible honestly, I’ve tried everything from every brand and this is the first deodorant that actually works for me. I got one of each of the antiperspirant / deo. The texture is wonderful, it lasts all day and there is ZERO bad smells and only slight perspiration but for me that is amazing because I would usually be soaked and stinking. This is now a holy grail for me I will never stop using it try anything else

Really good products

Really good products. Normally I have an allergic reaction to other sustainable deodorant companies but I have no issues with the waves products. They smell really nice and last a while.

So far I'm really impressed with my make waves antiperspirant deodorant. The scent is very delicate but enough. The texture is lovely and the skin on my underarm is actually softer, less irritated. The performance is good, I'm projected as with any other antiperspirant on the market, and I am suffering from endless hot flushes at the moment.
The ordering and management of my subscription is simple. I'm considering ordering a second case so I can switch fragrances to my mood.

Smells amazing and is convenient!

I really love the different scents I can have and I love how convienient and personalised the subscription is. It makes my life so much easier and is fully customizable to the date products are shipped and the scents you use each time.

Phenomenal products

I was purchasing my deodorant from W**d but was always disappointed with how much waste there is when finished and how gunked up it would get after every use and it didn't give me that fresh scent or feeling through our the whole day. So I moved over toake waves and have to say I'm thrilled, the scents are amazing I stay fresh all day even after doing a 12 hour day gardening in the blazing sun. The product glides on there's no.mess no black marks left on clothing! This product is amazing I highly recommend to all. I just hope in time they do a mango scent.

Absolutely great product

I love the fact that this is a natural stick deodorant, smells lovely and doesn't drag on your skin. No wetness like a ball deodorant and no clouds of choking spray like an aerosol. Works really well, love it.

I’ve been using Makewaves for over a year. It’s the best antiperspirant! Wet patches under my armpits are a thing of the past! Smells great, no tacky feel, leaves armpits silky smooth.
Each refill seems to last forever, only need a little and it last all day and night!

We love these as a family

We love these as a family. The scents are great for me as a mum and also have the right style for our 12 year old and 8 year old who wants to copy big bro. Dad just grabs what ever is closest in the morning and knows he’s covered for the day.

Great product, non toxic and actually works.

I had stopped using deodorant because I found that most brands didn’t stop me sweating and contained chemicals which I didn’t want to put on my body nor into the air. A friend recommended Make Waves and I’m so glad I tried it. It actually works! It has a subtle scent and nothing toxic, doesn’t mark my clothing and lasts really well. My husband is also now using it and can’t believe how good it is. Highly recommended.

Nice scents and keeps me dry

I’ve been using Make Waves for about a month and I love it, nice scents and keeps me dry all day. I was using Fussy but was so self conscious of the constant sweat patches, I felt it made me sweat even more. Since switching to Make Waves I’ve felt much more comfortable and completely dry, even after a hot commute on the London Underground!
