In all my years of testing personal care products, I've never encountered a roll-on that actually made my armpits smell worse. Yes, you read that right. This product was, to put it bluntly, a lost cause. Despite its promising scent combination, I found that it somehow managed to make my armpits smell worse over time. Needless to say, I had to discontinue use due to the unpleasant odor it caused.

Right off the bat, I have to give major props to Skin Deep for their commitment to sustainable packaging. The eco-friendly cardboard tube earns some serious brownie points in my book. However, while the intention is commendable, the execution falls short in terms of convenience.

Okay so the product claim above literally made me smile. Its word by word the same product description and claim as Lemon + Tea tree with the only difference of Charcoal benefits. The last line that says it goes on virtually clear is just a copy paste as this deodorant doesn't go on clear. 

The charcoal deodorant itself has some interesting aspects. It's great that it uses charcoal, a natural deodorant ingredient. However, the formula is incredibly drying. It crumbles into flakes upon application, making the whole process a bit messy. These flakes stick to the cardboard base and fall to the ground, creating a bit of a nuisance.  On top of that, the charcoal color can leave your underarms looking darker – although it's important to note that this is just a visual effect due to the product's color, not actual darkening of the skin.
