You can use Lume all over your body, not just on your pits. (Amazon)
Finding your go-to deodorant is a surprisingly personal choice — made all the more tricky by the zillions out there. You want something that doesn't have an overpowering scent but still has enough punch to take out body odor. And if being aluminum-free matters to you, then that's a whole other thing to hunt down. Well, there's a natural deodorant called Lume that you've probably seen commercials for, and right now, you can get $15 off a two-pack at Amazon.
Lume promises 72-hour coverage — handy for those mornings you forget to reapply. Want low-key odor control? Opt for unscented.
This deodorant can be used all over your body, giving you plenty of mileage from one product. Better yet, the two-pack is within a dollar of its all-time low price, so if you've been wondering what the hype is about, now's the time to find out.
One of the biggest things Lume has going for it? What's not in it. The deodorant is free of potentially harsh or harmful ingredients including propylene glycol and aluminum, and it bypasses potential skin irritants such as gluten, baking soda and soy.
"There is some concern with using aluminum chloride, which is present in regular antiperspirants," Dr. Gary Goldenberg, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, tells Yahoo Life. "However, there are no human studies that show it causes cancer or any other adverse reactions, other than the fact that some may develop an allergic reaction to it." (Still want to steer clear?

Lume can be used anywhere on your body that needs odor control: your armpits, feet, privates and more. Just glide it on and move on with your day. It's hypoallergenic and safe to use pretty much anywhere you have skin. It also promises to block odors for up to 72 hours. You can choose from a range of on-sale scents, including Lavender Sage, Clean Tangerine and Peony Rose. Prefer unscented? It's on sale too.
More than 21,000 five-star Amazon reviewers swear by everything from Lume's scents to its coverage.
"It really works!" said a happy customer. "Ever since I've had children, my armpits stink. Maybe hormones? I have tried so many deodorants (including men's) and nothing has worked. This stuff works! No smell at least for a day."
"Can't say enough good about it," said another fan. "Going through perimenopause/menopause with all the heat flashes and night sweats, which gives off a whole different kind of odor. I have literally about 10 different kinds of deodorant on my shelf I've tried, from sticks to sprays to clinical strengths of all different brands ... none of them work. Lume does!"
"I have one armpit that gives me issues, I call it 'Brad Pitt,'" said a third shopper. "My partner says on its worst days it smells like an Italian sub with extra onions. Not the scent I'm going for. I've tried all types of sports, men's, clinical deodorants, not much helped. So far it's been working really well, and I'm pleased with the scent and how long-lasting it is. Tried during a workout and it did great. Even great for under-boob sweat."
"I have seen this product advertised for a while now and doubted it would work," a skeptic said. "I have to say, working 12-hour shifts, it is definitely a game-changer. I bought the unscented version and used as directed. It did keep unwanted body odor at bay. The only downside is that it has a slick type of feeling. It does not dry like an antiperspirant."
Some shoppers said the scent didn't last for the full 72 hours, but still put in a good performance. "It does not work 72 hours for me, though it did work about 24 hours," wrote one. "I'm going to keep using it, and see how well it keeps working."
Another reviewer added, "They're on the expensive side as far as deodorants go, but anything without aluminum seems to be going up in price overall." (Good thing you can grab two on sale right now!)
