Mitchum deodorant?

Has anyone ever used this? It has been recommended to me as it is meant to be very effective, but I have read a few reviews about it causing uncomfortable rashes:eek: . Does anyone have any good/bad opinions of it?

    I use it and it's great, though the roll-on does take quite a long time to dry.

    If you're going to buy it, get it from Boots and use the 50% off coupon at this link - it actually takes £1.50 off the price of a bottle, and as Boots currently have an offer on Mitchum anyway (I think it's £1.79 for the roll-on or £1.62 for the spray) you can get it for pennies. I am stocking up while I can!

  • Doesn't work for me and actually seems to make me smelly :( For myself couldn't recommend it at all although I know others swear by it. I used the 'stick' version by the way
  • I use the spray version unscented and I have very sensitive skin, it doesn't cause me any problems. I had ones prescribed from Dr but whilst effective I had to stop using them due to irratation.
    Make £5 per day in August= £100/£155
    Paid MS- £5+ £10 GR, £5 RE, £15 MS

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I love the smell of the Powder fresh in the bottle...but....
    I'm not a heavy perspirer but used Mithum since puberty because my sister and mother did. Recently howver I have found it becoming less effective. I really sweat very litle apart from the few days before my period, (most of the rest of the time I could probably even go without deoderant!) but I'm findig those three days I do need it to be effective it ust isn't being and is not smelling nice at all. I've had better resuts with a cheaper bog standard deoderant recently....I wish I could get another cheapy that smelt of baby powder :(

    I am allergic to most antiperspirants - I can wear them for a couple of days, then I start itching and have to stop.

    I tried Mitchum last month & it worked for 5 days before I started getting the itch, which is pretty good compared to most, and it was actually quite effective (although didn't really start working until the second day).

    I'm going to take it with me when I go on my hols (together with some Piriton to stop the itch!) as I can't stand the thought of having wet patches on my clothes when I am on holiday.

    I use this too and find it's the only thing that leaves me confident of no wet patches. Tend to use the stick as the roll-on does take a while to dry, but find it annoying that it quite often breaks/crumbles so I don't manage to use it all. Every now and then I buy an 'own-brand' to see how it is but haven't found one as reliable.
  • Have used this for years and it is fantastic!
    I also use Perspi-Guard every now and then. That lasts for 5 days and is good if you are going to be wearing lots of skimpy tops or dresses and dont want to worry about waiting for deoderant to dry.
