I was skeptical, but curious to try the product, since my body odour, especially from the armpit was not being contained by my previous deodorant. I also sweat very easily, like even from walking, so that didn't help. The package is really small, but don't let that fool you, because all you really need on a daily basis is a very tiny bit of it, less than half a peanut, really. And it last even longer than 12 hours, and you don't smell as much after that, despite the good smell is no longer there...
