PitRok Crystal Natural Deodorant Stick
by jipp05 Using deodorants can sometimes irritate my skin and cause it to become itchy and uncomfortable so when I read about PitRok it sounded ideal as it was an all-natural deodorant made with natural mineral salts and free from all the chemicals that goes in to normal deodorants. PitRok is also completely fragrance free so it is a ... good option for men and women who want to wear a deodorant that doesn't overpower their perfume or aftershave. The deodorant needs to be used on skin which is completely clean so that it can protect skin before any bacteria has time to form so it needs to be used immediately after showering or bathing to be completely effective. PitRok is a little weird to look at because of the colour of it. It is basically just a hardened lump of natural salt crystals and it sort of looks like a crystal itself and is nearly opaque. You have to push the crystal up and then apply it to either wet skin or else wet the stick slightly before applying. It is important that you apply it wet but try not to run the stick under the tap as otherwise it will start to dissolve and won't last as long. Once you apply the PitRok it doesn't take long to dry at all and then you are basically ready to go. This takes a little getting used to when coming from normal deodorants and anti-perspirants as this does absolutely nothing to stop you from sweating. It does work really well to stop your sweat from smelling however. Sweat itself doesn't smell and it is the bacteria in the underarms which when mixed with sweat that causes the smell and this works to inhibit the bacteria from forming so that you can sweat as much as you like without smelling. When I first started using this I did get paranoid that it just wouldn't be enough to stop me from smelling but it really does work well at stopping the horrible sweaty smell and even though I can be sweating buckets I can be assured that there will be zero smell coming from me. When using this I do miss the fresh feeling that I get from normal deodorants but it is really gentle on my skin and I only use this when my skin has started getting sensitive and itchy from a build up of too much normal deodorant and this gives my skin a chance to breathe again. I would say that I probably only use this about 3 or 4 times a month but for me personally I feel it gives my skin the chance to breathe that it needs as blocking up pores to make sure they can't sweat all the time can't be that healthy for my skin. I would use it more but I tend to sweat quite a lot so I want something that is going to inhibit that a little even if this is much more healthy for me. This deodorant is suitable for vegetarians and vegans and isn't tested on animals and is a much more healthy alternative to a normal deodorant and I would recommend it to anyone who is maybe concerned with the amount of chemicals we put on our skin. I personally really like it but it isn't something that I would wear on a daily basis as I was a more fresh and dry feeling which this unfortunately just can't give me. Read the complete review |

PitRok Crystal Natural Deodorant Stick
by ladyofcampfires For a while now I've been getting slightly painful lumps under my armpits which, after about a week, would clear up on their own only to return a month or so later. The most recent of these lumps appeared right on the crease of my armpit leaving me in discomfort and pain whenever I slightly stretched my arm and I thought it was about ... time I took a trip to the doctors. Here I was informed these lumps were most probably cysts and whilst they may be painful they're harmless and easy to prevent. My doctor informed me a combination of underarm shaving and anti-perspirant (which blocks the pores) was probably the reason for them appearing and that I should stop shaving the area for a while (thank god the winter months are here!) and switch to a deodorant instead. Advice I'm glad I followed because it appears to have done the trick! This did mean, however, I was in need of a deodorant and frankly I had no idea what was good due to always being an anti-perspirant user. I came across this PitRok Crystal Natural Deodorant stick in Morrisons and decided to give it a try as it claimed to be a fragrance free and sensitive deodorant which I thought could only help matters! The deodorant is a whole bunch of prices depending on where you shop and it appears Morrisons is probably the cheapest place to buy it. My 100g stick cost me £3.59 where as it's £4.05 in Superdrug, £4.99 from Amazon and £6.59 from Boots and Lloyds Pharmacy. This can also be bought from a number of other websites although still all around the £5 mark and none as cheap as Morrisons (not that I can find anyway). High street stores selling this product seem to be limited to the ones mentioned above too so unless you do your shopping at Morrisons you won't be able to pick one of these up with your weekly shop. The stick comes in a circular black plastic casing with black screw on cap. There's a gold pattern displayed on the front along with the PitRok logo and plenty of information about the product on the back. The packaging is very unisex in my opinion and doesn't seem to be aimed at any particular gender. The fact this has absolutely no smell whatsoever further suggests to me that it would be perfectly acceptable for either a man or woman to use this deodorant. The deodorant itself looks a little bit like a crystal, it's semi-opaque with these little glistening specks throughout it and actually it's quite pretty! It's a hard cylinder which is pushed up from the bottom of the casing although if pushed completely out it's easy to slot back in again. The deodorant is based on pure natural mineral salts and claims to provide day long protection against body odour. This apparently 'reduces the ability of odour causing bacteria to thrive'. The packaging states this is suitable for sensitive skin, doesn't block pores, is long lasting and odourless and contains no aluminium ingredients (which apparently was the main culprit for my lumps). Directions for use state that it is essential that the deodorant is applied to freshly cleaned skin and used immediately after a bath or shower. The deodorant should be damp when applied so needs to be applied to wet skin or dampened with finger tips before use although it is not advised that this is ran under a running tap. So, I had my morning shower and applied this straight afterwards, keen to find out just how well this would work. I found the deodorant a little strange during application, because I was applying to wet skin it was difficult to tell if anything was actually transferring to my underarm or not which probably meant I applied much more than needed! Having said that it clearly did transfer as it worked. The deodorant applies really quickly and doesn't cause any irritation to my delicate underarms whatsoever. It would have been nice to have a pleasant fragrance but that's not hugely important to me - as long as it doesn't leave me smelling horrid! This really is long lasting too. When I start work in early in the morning I tend to have my bath or shower the night before so I don't have to get up even earlier to make time for a shower. On these occasions I have had to apply the deodorant at night rather than morning and it has still provided me with fresh smelling pits the following the day. Ironic that the one deodorant which doesn't make 48h claims is the only one I feel can actually deliver on that claim! I do think this is a problem with the product though. I was happy to test it to see if a night before application would last throught the next day and, now that I know it does, I'm happy to do that. Many other people, however, probably wouldn't be and would still want to apply this every single morning so, unless you shower every single morning, you're not going to be able to that. You can, of course, just wash your underarms in the morning before application if you wish but this does make the application process rather long winded just for putting on a bit of deodorant! The plus side though is that it does work. I've not had a bad experience with this and it hasen't let me down yet and I can't imagine it ever will either. I'm left feeling and smelling fresh all day, everyday after applying this and it really does stop body odour completely. Furthermore it's very gentle. I've been using this for about three months now and, even though the pit shaving has started again, those regular lumps I was getting have yet to return! The one thing I don't like about this is the fact you still sweat. This is why I prefer anti-persperant as they stop the sweat rather than just stopping the odour, it doesn't matter how fresh you smell, a sweat patch is still embarrassing! But then, all deodorants have this effect and that's just what they do so I feel it would be unfair it mark this one down because of that. As long as the weather isn't too hot so I know I'm not going to be excessively sweating I am more than happy to use this. It's gentle and very effective and that's all I really want from such a product. Read the complete review |

PitRok Push-up Crystal Deodorant
by kirstymc Although crystal deodorants have been around for years I have to admit such a thing is completely new to me. This is a really brilliant product - it was recommended to me by a rather hippy dippy friend who whilst a little insane is never smelly. I was a bit sceptical at first, seriously how can a bit of rock stop you from getting sweaty ... and smelly. However having used Pitrok for about a month now and can honestly say it really works. So what's the craic? Body odour occurs as a result of bacteria in perspiration. Pitrok solution works by creating a thin layer of natural minerals and salts across your skin preventing odour causing bacteria from developing without locking your pores, the call it "Bacteriostatic Action". The crystal is completely natural and contains absolutely no aluminium chlorohydrate or aluminium zirconium associated with other deodorants. As Pitrok does not block the pores it does not interfere with the bodys natural way of eliminating toxins. How do you use it? Pitrok is really easy to use, either dampen the top of the stick to apply to dry skin or apply direct to wet skin after a bath or shower. I have found that Pitrok provides effective 24 hour protection. As Pitrok is completely natural it felt great not to be spraying any nasty chemicals direct on to my skin. Pitrok is completely odourless no matter how hard I sniffed there was absolutely no discernible fragrance so it will not conflict with your perfume. Pitrok is non greasy, non sticky and it did not leave any marks on my clothes. Pitrok is amazing value for money - I purchased mine for about £6 from Ethical Superstore, I have used the stick everyday for over a month and at this point I cannot see it running out any time soon - the stick does not seem to have deteriorated at all and I really can't even begin to guess when it will completely wear out. I have introduced Pitrok to my boyfriend who has sensitive skin and he absolutely loves it, as it is completely natural he suffers no irritation that can sometimes occur with chemical deodorants. It is not important to me but I do find the packaging very masculine so this is maybe not one for the dressing table. In brief: It works. It is completely natural. It is perfect for sensitive skin It is completely odourless It is not sticky It will not stain your clothes It is good for pregnant ladies It is eco friendly. It is amazing value for money.
