Kosas Chemistry AHA Serum Deodorant Beachy Clean

My all time favourite deodorant because it actually keeps me from smelling for the whole day. I work at the hospital running around for 8-12 hour shifts. I feel like other scented deodorants mix with BO and it just makes me feel stinkier.It is non irritating and has the mildest scent of whatever the ingredients are and kills BO for up to 24hrs and have never had any problems with staining/bleaching clothes. I’ve tried using the Ordinary’s glycolic acid as a deodorant because I thought it would be similar but perhaps using glycolic acid was too strong as it bleached my tank top in the underarm area + didn’t last as long.I particularly like this white Kosas one because it’s unscented so it doesn’t interfere with the scent of your favourite perfume.Would know half a ... MoreMy all time favourite deodorant because it actually keeps me from smelling for the whole day.

It does say deodorant not antiperspirant!

Got this about 2 weeks ago now, random purchase as I finally accepted the last deodorant I had bought wasn't working as well as I initially thought after a night out where I could just Smell my funky armpits thinking to myself how I wish I had brought deodorant with me. I have suffered with very potent armpits for years, 2-5 mins out the shower and they would already start to smell.. this was a totally random purchase one of the best decisions I've ever made.. I wasn't sure about it AT ALL, its a weird little rolly ball that looks like lotion.. but this stuff is an absolute game changer. I've been wearing it everyday since I've gotten it I'm completely amazed. I'll start sweating and feeling clammy under my arms, where id usually think "Oh i know I'm going to ... MoreGot this about 2 weeks ago now, random purchase as I finally accepted the last deodorant I had bought wasn't working as well as I initially thought after a night out where I could just Smell my funky armpits thinking to myself how I wish I had brought deodorant with me.

ABSOLUTELY, BLISSFULLY, NOTHING! I'd carry this in my bag the first week out of habit of needing to constantly reapply deodorant but I dont even need to do that anymore! I needed to write this review because I never hear a thing about this deodorant and it's literally helped me with one of my biggest insecurities. It is supposed to smell like "Beach Clean" although the product itself has a scent it literally leaves your armpits smelling like noooothinnggg at all, which honestly, I'm not mad at. Also doesnt leave you wish that white deodorant residue or anything. 100000000/10 the creator of this has a special place in heaven♡

Clean Deodorant Dream

I purchased the green "Serene Clean" product due to reviews saying the blue "Beachy Clean" had an unpleasant scent. I will say the green one does not smell as described and it does have a bit of a musk scent, but I personally don't mind. I've been trying different natural deodorant for years (Malin + Goetz was my last brand) so I'm use to the "natural" smell. The scent is undetectable when worn anyway, so if you're worried about that - don't be. They do have an unscented version if you just can't stand a natural musk scent!I love this deodorant for a regular day out or when I'm in the office.

I would guess that one reason some reviews are saying this product doesn't work well is because natural/clean deodorants work best with a clean canvas so to maximize its efficacy, I would recommend bathing the night before/morning of using this product. I don't think it covers up odor, but it has certainly prevented it for me. I have broken a stress sweat and had to layer on a different deodorant to eliminate odor, so now when I can detect a high-stress day ahead I'll just use a regular deodorant instead to prevent any odor in case I do stress sweat.I think the value is there for someone interested in clean deodorant. Just gotta listen to your body and know what works best for you after trying different things. I would definitely repurchase and recommend to others.

Favorite natural deodorant!

I would like to begin by saying that I am a very sweaty person with a very sensitive nose. Over the years I have avoided natural deodorants. After all, even some of the most powerful, aluminum-filled, anti-perspirant deodorants on the market have not done much for my underarms. I have found that I can put up with some sweat as long as the resulting smell is not offensive. Most scented deodorants I have tried usually make me want to hurl about half-way through an extra-warm day. But not this deodorant! I decided to try it on a whim, thinking I could use it on days I do not leave the house. However, I have been using it everywhere-- including at work, which includes dealing with a classroom full of children in a sweltering building (with no air conditioner) for a ... MoreI would like to begin by saying that I am a very sweaty person with a very sensitive nose.

However, I have been using it everywhere-- including at work, which includes dealing with a classroom full of children in a sweltering building (with no air conditioner) for a greater part of the day. So far, I've had no issues with smell! The deodorant itself is lightly scented-- enough to make you feel fresh and like you have something on but not at all overpowering. I have sensitive skin but have not experienced any irritation. I have definitely found a new favorite!

Game changer for odor and stains

Literally THE ONLY THING that stops BO. Plus doesn’t cause build up and hold stink in shirts. When I tell you I’ve tried everything- IVE TRIED EVERYTHING. Milk of magnesium, lemons, limes, native,Sasquatch, salt crystal, toms of Maine, baking soda, homemade, little seed farm co (my 2nd fave after this) and alllllll the non aluminum deodorants out there and none of them have worked like this. Not to mention the supplements I’ve tried. Probiotics, chlorophyll, serrapeptase. I’m telling you it’s been a journey. This deodorant is incredible. I got my husband another brand, same ingredients and it’s the same success for him. Absolute game changer for people with underarm odor. I don’t sweat much, just get stinky. I think from hormones. So glad I found this!!!

Gave me red bumps on my underarms!

This was a purchase I made a few years ago.* I was after a deodorant that would hopefully stop me from smelling and sweating so bad, and was recommended to use this product. Upon the first few uses I had no real issues; just a slight sting and a very watery lather. After using it for a week, I started to notice some red bumps under my arms!! It was really sore and stung and would spread all over, so I decided to put off using this product until it cleared up and in the meantime used something else. When it cleared up, I gave this a shot again out of curiosity, and sure enough the red sores appeared once more. I’ve never exactly been classified as having sensitive skin, but something in this product definitely didn’t suit well with me.

Love it!!

I was skeptical given that any "natural" deodorant I've tried in the past has either not worked or not agreed with my skin, but this is possibly one of my new favorite deodorants! I do 10,000 steps a day and it lasts me until the end of the day, as good as if not better than my old deodorant. Since it's a liquid roll-on, it doesn't pill up the way other deodorants do. I've definitely noticed my armpit has gotten lighter, but more importantly I've not gotten any ingrown hairs, since I started using this, which is HUGE.Major TMI ahead, but keep in mind that if you've been using typical aluminum deodorants up until now, the PH of this stuff is drastically different so it MAY cause some very mild irritation at first as your skin adjusts. Nothing crazy, I just got ... MoreI was skeptical given that any "natural" deodorant I've tried in the past has either not worked or not agreed with my skin, but this is possibly one of my new favorite deodorants!

Nothing crazy, I just got itchy once in a while for the first couple of days, and there may be some light redness. It has exfoliating acids so if you don't typically exfoliate there, it may freak you out, but as long as you aren't getting actual hives, anything you experience will probably be a normal side effect. And if you occasionally get pimples there, then...yeah, it'll help with that too. Might cause some purging at first though. I'd recommend trying the unscented at first then moving on to scented if you have sensitive skin/have never used a non-traditional deodorant.

My holy grail repurchase forever deodorant!!!

I’m usually not a reviewer but this product has been life changing for me and I feel like I need to tell everyone how wonderful this deodorant is. I’m a hairstylist/now barber for the last 12 years and I run hot while I’m working, so I’m very self conscious of how I smell since I’m working very closely with people. I’ve struggled to find a deodorant that actually works for what seems like my entire adult life, even after using a strong antiperspirant I’d still smell at the end of a work day. It doesn’t prevent you from sweating (which isn’t an issue for me), but it keeps me from smelling for the entire day. There’s a bit of a learning curve with it since it’s a serum, but I’ve found that doing 3-4 passes right after getting out of the shower and letting it dry down ... MoreI’m usually not a reviewer but this product has been life changing for me and I feel like I need to tell everyone how wonderful this deodorant is.

There’s a bit of a learning curve with it since it’s a serum, but I’ve found that doing 3-4 passes right after getting out of the shower and letting it dry down completely before getting dressed does the trick. If this ever gets discontinued I will cry/be smelly for the rest of my life. Shoutout to Kosas for creating this amazing product!

Not it

I was a big fan of this for the first week or two of using it. It seemed to work pretty well for a clean deodorant, but very quickly became my least favorite product I’ve used aside from Native and Tom’s. Basically, if you aren’t freshly showered and you have the mildest stink under your pits when you wake up, this is just gonna lock it in and enhance it. That was my experience at least. I know everyone is different. I found that on days I was more active, like just being on my feet at work, it wore off very quickly and made my scent smell very sour. And if I reapplied it, didn’t matter. That scent was locked in for the day. Also, the brightening element… it just makes your armpits look worse, in my opinion. It brightens the skin almost too much (I’m very fair ... MoreI was a big fan of this for the first week or two of using it.

It brightens the skin almost too much (I’m very fair complected already) and it does so in a very patchy way. It basically looks like balls of light emitting from your underarms with hard lines and yet somehow you still have the dark spots. I think Kosa was almost onto something, but the formula needs a look over.

You want the truth? Sit down.

I'm going to start this of by saying of course, everyone has different body chemistry, so some deodorants may not work because unfortunately they just don't balance with your body odour. What I found was that it took about 1-2 days of use morning and night, before it adjusted to my body chemistry. I was skeptical at first because I felt I was smelling worse, but TRUST the process, as I did. In time it will work with your body, now I don't have to struggle with many of odour/deodorant issues I had before.Since I started wearing deodorant at 8yo, I've struggled more than a decade to find a good deodorant that works for me. I do intense physical activity, work with small children so I'm constantly moving at work, I have issues with stress sweat due to anxiety, those ... MoreI'm going to start this of by saying of course, everyone has different body chemistry, so some deodorants may not work because unfortunately they just don't balance with your body odour.

I do intense physical activity, work with small children so I'm constantly moving at work, I have issues with stress sweat due to anxiety, those embarrassing white deodorant stains on my armpits because I've got dark skin, and don't get me started on the expensive "sweat-wicking" shirts I have with permanent pit stains on them. No more is that an issue for me. Searched high and low through men's, women's, unisex, roll-ons, balms, aerosols, naturals, aluminum both with and without. I've tried EVERYTHING, Secret, Degree, Mitchum, Old Spice, Dove, Speed Stick, Native, plus whatever you find at your local farmers market and more. I'd never heard of Kosas until I had to search again for new deodorant, so glad I did, I'd like to try it with the exfoliating AHA body wash eventually.This deodorant marks the end of my treacherous journey. For $22.00CAD, after all the time, money, and embarrassment of the 'dark teen ages' I'm very happy with the price. It's been almost a month of use now, and I think it should last me until Christmas. I don't write as many reviews on the app as I should, but this one was definitely worth a detailed review.
