The Discovery Set – AKT, THE DEODORANT BALM. Award winning, multi-use, natural deodorant. Plastic Free. Gender Free. Aluminium Salts-Free. 100% effective — each tube lasts up to 10 days.

Testing to see if all the raves about it is true. The only held back was how pricey it is, but splurged out for a job interview as I really don't want to smell bad, and it worked brilliantly. Still anxiety sweated loads, but massively suppressed the smell. I've only tried the purple scent 3 for a couple days, and I didn't put a lot on, just enough to cover lightly and it works the whole day, but I'm not a big fan of the essential oil for scent 3, kinda smells like a grandma so hopefully the rest gets better. For the reviews that claim it doesn't stop sweat, I thought this is marketed as a deodorant, if you want to stop sweat maybe you should try an antiperspirant? Also the snap off cap can be put back in the other way around so no leaks for me as others have mentioned. Will I buy again? I guess more time is needed to see the difference considering the price tag, and maybe reserve use only for special occasions.

Better than expected! I have been looking for a natural deodrant. I bought trial pack 30th Jan, I'm still 3/4 in on my first tube and it's the end of Feb. Ive used it everyday, It lasts a long time, so you definitely get your moneys worth. Nice smell, i don't find it overpowering. It's not overly perfumed but still does it's job. SCREW CAP: It snaps off and you use the pointy bit you snapped off to peg it back on. If you twist it back on it's much more secure. Slightly odd design but I found twisting it back in is fine. Looking fwd to smelling the rest! I probably don't need a full tube at this rate!

I really don't know what the fuss is about. This is extremely expensive and does not go on easily at all. The fragrance is week too. Avoid.

Ok, but not as good as advertised

I randomly came across this product and decided to give it a try, and since then I haven’t gone back to high-street deodorants or antiperspirants. It’s only been winter so far, so I can’t fully judge how it will perform during the summer months when I tend to sweat a lot. However, even in colder weather I used to find that standard deodorants sometimes didn’t keep me smelling fresh by the end of the day. With AKT, that hasn’t been the case at all. The antibacterial properties seem to make a real difference, and I haven’t had that “not-so-fresh” feeling at the end of the day. So far it’s been a bit of a lifesaver, and I’m really impressed with the results.

I’d seen AKT all over social media and was curious about the hype, so the Discovery Set was the perfect entry point. You get five mini tubes of their iconic scents, from the fresh citrus of Orange Grove to the earthy, calming vibe of The Onsen. It’s a brilliant way to test which fragrance works for you without committing to a full-size tube. The Product Itself: The formula is genuinely impressive. It goes on like a soft balm, absorbs almost instantly into a dry powder, and keeps odour at bay all day. As someone who struggles with sensitive skin, I love that it’s aluminium-free and doesn't cause any irritation. Plus, the fact that the tubes are plastic-free and recyclable is a huge win. A Crucial Piece of Advice: While the Discovery Set is fantastic on its own, I highly recommend adding The Assistant to your order. This little metal key is a game-changer. The deodorant is a thick balm, and as you get to the end of the tube, it can be hard to squeeze out. The Assistant rolls up the tube perfectly, ensuring you get absolutely every last drop of product. It truly is the key to zero waste and makes the premium price tag feel much more justified because nothing goes in the bin. If you're new to the brand, grab the Discovery Set to find your favourite scent, and do yourself a favour—get The Assistant to make sure you use all of it

Love the AKT deodorant! A fantastic product that really works. I bought these to test the different scents, and I’m really glad I did. They all have unique smells, and the descriptions don’t really help explain them, so would recommend getting these first. The lids on the tubes are a bit annoying but manageable.

Great product for stopping the smell. It doesn't stop sweating.

I've spent decades (really) searching for a deodorant that is cruelty-free, effective, and non-irritating. Some have worked for a while, then just quit working. Others were fine until they suddenly started irritating my skin (leaving rashes, itching, etc.). I found this on a list of favorites somewhere and was intrigued by this trial pack. I've spent a small fortune in deodorants I've had to toss, so this didn't seem too crazy when looking at it that way (rationalization?). Well, it works better than ANYTHING ELSE I'VE EVER TRIED. It also keeps me drier, which I wasn't expecting (as it's not an anti-perspirant). I could probably even skip a day as there has been ZERO odor (beyond product scent, which does last). Hmm, I might even try that now that I've moved on to a full-sized subscription option. Packaging: love that it's completely recyclable. Per the instructions, I snapped off the cap and used the pointy end to plug (fine to sit on a shelf, would put in a baggie if traveling). A tube lasted well over a week, closer to two. The only scent I couldn't use at all was the lavender (Onsen), as I'm allergic to it, so I gave the tube away. -Orange Grove - also has a cooling feel on application with a mild (also old?) woodsy/citrus unisex scent, cb a favorite, especially in summer - After Thunder - mild (don’t know if sample is old, or it’s the nature of the scent) cedar wood with a touch of something brighter; cooling on application, but this wears off; neutral unisex, would be great in summer - Columbia Rd. - high-end baby powder/rich-lady face cream, okay feminine-leaning body-care scent, absolutely non-irritating/drying, may turn to this if my fav's get irritating - Halcyon Summers - woody (sandalwood, cedar wood), pleasant, leans too masculine for me but would love it on DH

Best deodorant we have ever purchased . My husband has always struggled with allergies to deodorant . It works so well , no skin irritation and super easy to apply. It lasts a long time bc you need such a little amount . We just use our hands to apply but you. An buy the applicator . Lots of gender neutral smells. Worth the money .

I like the product, hate the packaging. Even with the tip used to plug the end these are always leaking an oily substance onto whatever surface they're on. When I pick one up, there is a puddle of clear oil under it. It's not particularly hot in my home and nothing I do seems to prevent the spillage, whatever it is.

Scent is not gender neutral. Too masculine. And I felt like I sweat even more using it. Would not use again

Although expensive, this little sampler pack is well worth it to see if this deodorant is for you. The scents are diverse and in my case I loved two of them, disliked two and found one ok. So it was good not to have to buy a whole tube to see. There are lots of reviews here complaining about the tubes and having to use your fingers. I don't know why someone would buy this if they are squeamish about using their fingers. It's not like this is a secret. I find it fine. I used it, wash my hands, move on. And the tubes are fine (these ones are really small, but even the big ones, which I bought after trying this out) work well for me. And as for the deodorant itself, it is easily the longest lasting deodorant I have ever used, and it isn't even close. After 24 hours with sleep thrown in it still smells like a fresh application. I have long searched for a plastic free deodorant (i.e. not anti-perspirant with aluminum) that actually works - most don't, or at least don't last. This is finally it. I will never go back.
