Review: Just take the risk on it, worth the money! - I wish more people knew about this stuff, I got recommended it by someone at work and after taking a risk on it as it was quite pricey I’ve been blown away by how effective it is and how long it’s lasted! Can’t remember exactly how long they say a tube lasts but this one has been going strong with daily use for around 10 months now. I’ve got sensitive skin and it causes no issues at all, leaves no residue or stains on clothes and stops me smelling all day! Definitely don’t be put off by the initial cost as it’s definitely worth it! Review: Excellent - I’ve used AKT for a couple of months now. It is excellent. It smells great, is easy to apply, the texture is smooth and drys quickly. Doesn’t make your skin sticky or itchy. It’s kept me dry and no stinky odour when at the gym and has held up to 12 hour shifts in uniform in extreme heat. There’s a few different scents which are lovely. Best product I’ve used - ever. Definitely recommend it. ## Features - BORN TO PERFORM: AKT was created by two performers from London's West End when no other deodorant was making the cut under hot lights, 8 shows a week .

SC.01 ORANGE GROVE. 50ml - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61C3ZSOgTPL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long does a tube last & how often should I apply?** A: Use a pea-sized amount per underarm once daily on clean skin. One tube lasts around 1-3 months. **Q: Will it stop me from sweating?** A: AKT is not an antiperspirant and won’t block sweat glands. Instead, our Deo-Barrier Complex absorbs perspiration and neutralises odour. Some users may experience a short adjustment period when switching. **Q: What is a natural deodorant?** A: Natural deodorants absorb sweat and neutralise odour using powders and essential oils, rather than blocking pores with aluminium salts. Sweating is natural and helps regulate body temperature. **Q: How do I apply the balm deodorant?** A: Pierce the seal, then massage a pea-sized amount into clean underarms using fingers or an applicator. The balm absorbs instantly. Suitable for underarms, feet, chest or other areas. **Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin?** A: Suitable for most skin types. If sensitive, check ingredients carefully and patch-test before use. A fragrance-free option, SC.00 No Notes, is available for the most sensitive skin. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just take the risk on it, worth the money! *by M***M on 6 July 2026* I wish more people knew about this stuff, I got recommended it by someone at work and after taking a risk on it as it was quite pricey I’ve been blown away by how effective it is and how long it’s lasted!

Definitely recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ End of the day and still smelling fresh *by L***Y on 6 February 2024* I bought the orange fragrance and it reminds me a little of the rituals orange body cream only not as strong. It works very well though :) I've tried wild and fussy and both at the end of the day my underarms were wet and a slight odour :-( the only thing that stops it getting a 5 star is the lid is a littke fiddly and really shouldn't be needing to jab a pen into it to open. A design flaw really for something so expensive. Also once rubbed in it is quite powdery and did get a little on my black top but overall im just happy that finally I've found something that stops me sweating. I've also bought a 5ml sample of the columbia Road one which is tiny but smells very much of violets :) like the daisy twinkle perfume or a nice M&S handcream. Again the lid is a little fiddly. With the 5ml you break the nozzle then put it back in upside down. ## Frequently Bought Together - AKT, THE DEODORANT BALM. Award winning, multi-use, natural deodorant. Plastic Free. Gender Free.
