Deodorant Review: Alva Naturkosmetik Crystal Intensive

Brand: Alva Naturkosmetik
Scent: labelled unscented, but has an ever so slight herbal smell (in a good way)
Price: £7.50 (for 50ml)



Again this has many good reviews online, and I agree with most of them. Not too sure how to describe the scent, it is very subtle anyway so I can't see it being much of a problem to anyone. It doesn't stain clothes or leave any white residue on the skin, takes a little while to dry after application but at least it's not too sticky. I would add though, that it is rather watery so you need to be careful when applying otherwise too much will come out. It's a good long lasting deodorant (one application in the morning would last me roughly 24 hours). Unfortunately, after a few months of use it started to cause my skin to have a very bad reaction. I would always get SO itchy and made the skin red and swollen so once again I had to stop using and look for something else. I don't know what it could have been as unlike the Biologika, this deo was alcohol free. So if you have super sensitive skin it might be best to try something else OR you can try their sensitive version (but I don't know how effective it is).

To conclude; if you haven't got REALLY sensitive skin, then its worth trying (likelihood is, you will like it and it will work well). Always bare in mind though, everyone will be different.

Rating (1=terrible, 2=poor, 3=reasonable, 4=good, 5=excellent)

Value for money: 4
Scent: 3
Long lasting: 4
