Ditto. I have used "Crystal" off and on and my experience has been that it doesn't reduce odor or sweating nearly as well as something like Speed Stick.
Sure. You know that, I know that, and the manufacture of the product knows that. But "powertower" has alleged above that it does reduce sweating "as a secondary effect". By various vague and unlikely mechanisms.
Ah, I misread you; apologies. I'm sorry it doesn't work well for you. It's a godsend to me (sensitive to most other deodorants), but I do find that although it works for me, it doesn't last nearly as long. "all day", but just; if I have a long day I always wish I had a spare. The travel size ones are great though; and solid so you don't need to put them in the silly US "quart ziplock".
You have to apply it on clean/washed (after-shower) skin, not apply anything else, and use it consistently every day for a few weeks. It's also not an anti-perspirant. It just kills-off the bacteria. I suppose YMMV with how well it works for you, depending on what you're looking to get out of it, and how extensive the bacteria colonies are on the skin, and below the surface.
