Okay, we've all seen them - the targeted ads for Nuud. Haven't we? On Facebook or maybe on Instagram. But we've seen them. I know I have but I never paid much attention. All until it came up as a topic in a beauty forum.
There were a couple of people swearing by it and one of them was Brlogarka who I've known (online mostly) for a couple of years. And if she says it works for her, then I believe it.
So it began - I purchased a double pack from their official site.
This is not a sponsored post - I just sometimes have fingers that are too quickly at clicking "buy". :P
NUUD - The Carefree Deodorant
I actually had to write to them because I got a PayPal confirmation but no confirmation from their site. I guess there was a system error and they didn't see that the payment went through. But okay, their customer care on Facebook was really helpful and fixed that right away.
A couple of days later (yes, days!) I got the package!
You can get the single tub - which they call the Starter pack (Enough for 6 weeks on average) or a double one - which they call a Smarter pack (Enough for 20 weeks on average).
I decided to get two tubs because I was thinking about sharing one with my sister. So we could try this interesting new concept together!
I really like how the product is presented. It comes in a lovely box that has all the extra information written on it. It's so well put together!
Why Nuud?
• No aluminium, no fragrances, no vague chemicals, no alcohol
• No animal testing, 100% vegan
• No clogging, no staining
• Bioplastic sugar cane tube, biodegradable cardboard box
• Sustainable production & distribution
What does it do?
• Prevents odor by neutralizing bacteria with micro silver
• Odor-free from 3 to 7 days with one application
• Sports or showering have no effect on nuud's effectiveness.
• Super concentrated: 10 weeks with our 20 ml tube
• Patented formula
I really liked the small "we love you" print once you take the first tub out. And the "we really do" when you take a second one out. It's so cute!
Nuud is an all-natural and vegan deodorant. So you'll find that lot of things are NOT in nuud: no aluminium, no chemicals, no artifical fragrances, no salts, no parabens, no alcohol, no crap. But, what are nuud's ingredients then? How can nuud be so effective and yet be so innocent?
It all sounds so bogus, doesn't it? Like it's too good to be true, right?

THE SCENT
Truth to be told, it doesn't really have any scent. But if you smell it hard enough you get a bit of a nutty scent. Once applied the scent goes away.
THE TEXTURE
It is a white creamy paste. It feels a bit waxy while spreading it, but it's still easy to spread.
MY EXPERIENCE
I started using it once a day. I'd wash my pits with soap and water or take a shower. It didn't really make a difference. Then I'd dry my skin and use a pea-sized amount on my skin. I'd spread it evenly and go about my day after that.
In the beginning, I'd try to (not so discreetly as I'm being told) to sniff my pits and see how I'm doing. Most of the time I'd be just fine with absolutely no scent. Maybe my shirt would be soaking from the sweat (it's Summer, so yes, it gets hot here), but I'd get no BO.
Then I decided to try to stretch it out for 2 days. I'd still shower and wash as normal, I just wouldn't apply the cream the 2nd day.
Most the time I'd be fine. No BO. But there was once or twice at the beginning where I would get a tad of BO after a couple of hours in the day.
Now, I've used it for more than a month and I love it! I have tried going 3 days with one application but that isn't working for me. Maybe it will during the winter months, I don't know. But I'm happy with even just one day without BO. I mean I don't like smelling bad and I'd get stressed trying to see if I smell bad or thinking about needing to reapply deodorant.
No more! For me, this product is a revolution and I couldn't be happier! But wait. Don't just rush and go buy it. Nope.
My sister tried it at the same time as I did, right? Yes. But for her, it didn't work. Like at all. So I'd say there's a chance that it just won't work for you.
Luckily Nuud wants all their buyers to be happy about their purchase and if the product didn't work for you, go contact them.
PROS:
+ has no real scent
+ contains no alumn salts!
+ I can go 2 days with 1 application
+ comes in cute packaging
+ you can get a subscription service for it
+ the tubs are earth-conscious
CONS:
- the site sounds like bogus. Seriously.
- it doesn't work for everyone
- you have to apply it using your hands
- probably not for those with nut allergies
Overall:
I am really happy that I decided to try this product. It works for me and I'm really happy with it. I'm no longer searching for the perfect deodorant or for a natural deodorant that won't hurt my armpits. I'm happy with Nuud. I know it sounds so weird to use one product just every couple of days, and it is mind-blowing. But that's what I like about Nuud. It's special and I will definitely repurchase it!
