Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 4,377 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the product's effectiveness, noting it keeps them dry and fresh even in hot weather, with pleasant, long-lasting fragrances. Many highlight the high quality, environmental consciousness, and gentle nature of the product, often finding it superior to other brands. The subscription service is praised for its flexibility, easy management, and timely deliveries.

A few also found changing refills unintuitive, experienced website usability issues, or felt refills lasted less than expected.

The deodorant is great, far better than similar, more mainstream versions i have tried in the past. It is more reliable and the fragrances last longer. It also leaves less of a residue on my skin and... See more

Perfect smells lovely & works too.

Ive struggled to find an antiperspirant that does the job & doesn't irritate my underarms. I wanted to ditch the sprays, so I tried a similar product from the supermarket which I wasn't impressed with . Make Waves is a game changer not only was it easy to order it comes nicely packaged & smells lovely, works perfectly & helps the environment too, win win 10 out of 10.

Amazing antiperspirant I’ve ever used

Amazing antiperspirant I’ve ever used,
Would recommend this product to anyone, I’ve tried others on the market new brands and older well known brands, but Make Waves is the best, especially with the hot weather we have been experiencing. The subscription service is also an added bonus.

lush smell

fast delivery, smells divine, I work 12 hour shifts in a maternity unit and even on a hot day I don't stink by the end of a shift. Package looks lush, and the stick itself lasts for ages. skin feels moisturised as well

Best deodorant I’ve ever used!

I’ve been using make waves deodorant for the past year. Being sustainability and eco-conscious the brand is perfect for me. This deodorant is the best that I have ever used for absolute years! I’ve tried some that have a stunning smell but leave you feeling sweaty and wet when you need it most & have also sold out to mainstream cosmetic companies which s disappointing . I love the fact that this is a deodorant as well as antiperspirant. The different fragrances are beautiful but also not overpowering and subtle. Each refill last ages and the subscription service is easy to use and easy to change. Really happy and can see I’ll be sticking around for the foreseeable!

Fantastic anti-persperent

Fantastic anti-persperent, smells wonderful and does the job even in the really hot weather. The subscription service is so easy to use with quick delivery.

I absolutely love make waves.

I absolutely love make waves.
I love the fragrance, my favourite currently is the Jasmine and Rose.
I have been using it for over a year, I always smell fresh and applying once a day is enough, i have gone longer before and not smelt of sweat.
Effective in this really hot weather too.
I love the packaging and really feel that i am looking after the environment.
I have bought it for family and friends also.
Give it a try, you will not regret it.
Also more effective than similar brands that are available in shops.
Delivery is always fast.

Excellent eco friendly antiperspirant

Excellent eco friendly antiperspirant- I'm on a few medicstions which make me sweat more and have tried many different supermarket brands and other eco products, make waves is the only one that has stood out and actually made a difference! Finally can feel fresh all day and not self conscious. Very grateful to have found such a good product that also reduces waste and has an easy to use subscription.

The best I have ever used.

I have tried other similar products to make waves but without success.
I ordered the trial box with my chosen fragrance of coconut & vanilla.
I have been using Make Waves now for a month & have just received my first refil 3 pack on subscription, it's the best antiperspirant/ deodorant I have ever used, my underarms stay dry all day long & with the extremely hot weather we are having at the moment I couldn't ask for more.
To be honest I had never heard of Make Waves before an advert popped up on my Facebook page, I looked it up on Google & read the reviews, I ordered & am so glad I did, this is a keeper.

This is easily the most effective…

This is easily the most effective antiperspirant I have ever used and I'm 51! I have only tried the mandarin and apricot and it smells lovely. I'm looking forwards to trying out the other fragrances. This product IS expensive but I found that I use much less than with other products.

Antiperspirant that works!

I have found this to be the only stick antiperspirant that actually works. I love the fact that the choice of perfumes is really good and because I order on subscription I never run out!
Delivery was swift and the product well packaged, so I have no hesitation in recommending this to all who have spent years trying to find a decent antiperspirant.

The best refillable brand!

I have tried two other very well known refillable brands - both of which let me down. Feeling a bit defeated, I decided to give Make Waves a go. Wow! What a difference! It truly works all day, no smells, no sweat and feeling fresh even during the UK Heatwaves. The scents I have tried so far have also been much nicer. I am very happy with my subscription.

I have used make waves for two weeks…

I have used make waves for two weeks now and so far so good, the weather has been hot and I do not have sweat marks or wet arm pit patches. The smell is neutral but that okay for me as I wear aftershave and don't like the smell clash. The holder is easy to use. Only negative when I ordered I was offered another holder for a really good introduction price, the picture made me believed I was getting the waves deodorant it was just the container, so beware, and read the small details which I did not do, I have one deodorant and two containers lol. I would recommend the product

Been using shop bought

Been using shop bought anti perspiration for years never found 1 that worked. Bought an unscented for my 1st order it's working. Love how you can pick the different scents and the different colour applicators. Can't wait for my next order.

Great product, lovely smell.

I took a chance on this product and have not been disappointed. The antiperspirant works well, I am a teacher and on the go all the time. The smell holds up all day without being overpowering. I love the packaging, choosing the colour I prefer for the refill to be inserted into. I have recommended this product to friends, family and colleagues. The subscription means a refill arrives when I need it. I also like that I can pause the delivery or put it back a few weeks. Being able to cancel at any time makes it risk free and was one of the reasons I gave it a go on the first place.

Discovered this wonderful product 12…

Discovered this wonderful product 12 months ago and think it’s a game changer ! With regular antiperspirant deodorants- the amount of plastic that is used and then disposed of (with minimal chance of recycling) has always bothered me. The applicator is very well engineered and is easy to use - and best of all is the fact that you can just refill!! The scents are really nice (not too strong/overbearing) and seem to last longer than the regular sort - and of course are extremely effective! Really recommend this to everyone!
