Silver Shield Deodorant - Sensitive Skin Formula

I am a severe test of deodorants' effectiveness. I will ding this one star only because of its very high price, but otherwise it works and I will continue to use it. I was using a Name Brand deodorant that had silver ions. It worked great, but then they made the silver ion reference very tiny and almost hidden on the label, and a bit later my wife was remarking that I seemed to have hit the next level of Stinky Old Man, as I stunk in spite of my deodorant. I took a closer look at the recent batch and no more Silver Ion....only the price was the same. It is extremely difficult to find REAL silver based deodorants, which is the only thing that works for me. This is the real thing. I do not like anti-perspirants for a number of reasons, so just being a deodorant is perfect. Complaints about the Original formula are likely due to all the essential oils, which tend to be very reactive on the skin of many people. I have sensitive skin and the Silver Botanicals sensitive formula is compatible with me. I have also noticed very little needs to be applied. I give it a couple of shakes, do two light stripes on each pit, clamp my arms down and a couple back and forth arm moves. So far, works for 24 hours, which is really amazing for me.

Works great, but contains baking soda. I bought this because I was making my own wonderful deodorant, and then all of the sudden the baking soda started irritating me and I had to stop after trying several different recipes that all contained sodium bicarbonate. I decided to try this brand, mostly because it was a reusable roll on bottle because even if I hated it, I'd score the roll on to use with future deodorant experiments lol. This deodorant WORKS GREAT and has a nice scent. No need for me to reapply, no stinky pits in the morning. It also lasted for a reasonable amount of time for the size of the bottle. However, I must just have sensitive skin and after a while, I started getting an itch from the baking soda. So bummed! I would buy again if it wasn't for my sensitive skin.

I will try to keep this short but share enough information to help other buyers. I have tried every other brand of deodorant and antiperspirant, both natural and regular. I have tried every home remedy including baking soda, coconut oil, and various supplements. My under arm odor was a continuous problem, though, and nothing seemed to alleviate or lesson the issue. I ran into Silver Shield when ordering colloidal silver on Amazon and thought I would give it a try. I have tried using colloidal silver on my under arms, but didn't have much luck with it. I was hoping the combination of ingredients would help. In short, I am amazed at the effectiveness of this product. I have been using it for a few months now and it continues to work everyday, all day, even when I workout. Most days, I have absolutely no odor and the days when I do have some, it is not noticeable unless I am trying to check for it.Some reviewers mentioned pain from using this product and I will say that it does take some adjusting to figure out the best way to use it. At first I didn't use it right after shaving because I was afraid it would burn. I have found that if I use a hair dryer to dry the skin before applying, I don't have any pain even after I shave. Also, the first week I used it, I did notice pain in one side of my underarm that stretched to the front of my chest. I could tell that the pain was located in the lymph nodes, though, and did some research on the ingredients of the product. My conclusion was that my lymph system was dealing with something, perhaps from past antiperspirants, and the colloidal silver, sodium bicarbonate, aloe vera, and grapefruit were expediting this process. I decided to give it a little longer and found the pain quickly cleared up and I have not had a problem since. Of course, this is not a medical opinion, but I mention it because at least one reviewer addressed a similar type of pain.Overall, I would definitely recommend this product. I think customers have to experiment and find the best method to use it for their body, though. The extra time and effort is worth it though when you consider that you are using a product that is much safer than conventional ones and much more effective as well! I am so thankful to have found this product!!

I would give this product 5 stars for effectiveness in treating the BO problem but I have to knock it down a few stars.I like this product a LOT but I'm not sure if it's causing a skin irritation as a slight rash has shown up after switching from Nutribiotic deodorant.I liked Nutribiotic (no skin irritation) but it would only work for half the day. Since I started using this Sensitive skin formula the usual odor is completely gone. I picked the Sensitive formula thinking that it would not irritate my skin.I play a lot of basketball and go cycling a lot and not once has this deodorant failed me.I use colloidal silver for other things such as in my water or the gel for cuts and it's really amazing stuff.Perhaps I'm allergic to an ingredient in the formula. I hope that's not the case because I really like the fact that the underarm odor has completely disappeared for more than 24 hours since I started using this. I tested it to see how long it would last with two applications on each underarm, I got about a day and a half before it started smelling. I did this on a weekend where I had to work at home and didn't go out much but I did play basketball. LOL.Like I mentioned in the title, it's a mixed result for me.Maybe it will work for you or like me, it works but with possible skin irritation.
