I have been using AKT since 2021
I have been using AKT since 2021! It has never disappointed me... I just love it. The best out there. The only part I am not happy about is that it doesn't deliver to Pakistan anymore. So my orders have to go through people, who are kind enough to bring my yearly supply.
Oh yes, once tube lasts you forever!

Another great deo balm from AKT
Another great deo balm from AKT! I keep on trying different scents and honestly, they are all great, they smell divine and what's most important - they work like nothing I ever tried before. I'm sure that I won't ever go back to my usual, old deodorant. Overall experience 5⭐. Managing subscription is super easy, delivery super fast. All great 😃

Great product. 1st Class company to deal with.
Brilliant product. Smells lovely and natural and really works. The customer care is also outstanding and they were quick to respond to resolve an issue that I had. Would recommend.

Fresh as a Daisy.
It certainly does what it says and stays fresh throughout the day with no signs of irritation. Served me well in the heat of Marrakech. Been using it for a few months and definitely adding this to my morning ritual. 🫶💚🫶

AKT is emailing asking for reviews of the product before actually dispatching the product. Why?

Unprompted review
Reply from AKT London
Sorry about that confusion!
Our review emails are automated based on the estimated dispatch timeline, so occasionally they can arrive a little early if there’s a delay between order processing and the parcel physically leaving the fulfilment centre.
Definitely not intentional — we completely appreciate how odd it looks being asked to review something that hasn’t even arrived yet.
This has ruined all of my daily t shirts
This has ruined all of my daily t-shirts. It’s left a horrible wet stain, that’s impossible to come out. It looks like I’ve been sweating before I’ve ever wore my t shirt. 5 Uniqlo t shirts binned at £20 each. If you want to bin your items. Buy this, it’ll give you an excuse to bin some stuff.
Rubbish.

Hello Cameron,
I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I know we are emailing about this separately with you, but just to reiterate that our formula’s designed not to stain clothes. If you’ve noticed white marks, these usually appear when clothes go on too soon after applying. They’re often easy to lift with a damp cloth or in the wash. For best results, we recommend giving the balm a moment to absorb and settle into its powder finish before dressing.
Other marks, like yellowing or darker patches, are often down to the body’s natural chemistry. Sweat contains pigments (such as lipofuscin) which can cause yellow, green or brown stains, and this can vary depending on things like diet, stress or lifestyle. Occasionally, reactions with other products (like skincare, detergents or perfumes) can also lead to discolouration.
All of our products are thoroughly tested — and if any ingredient had the potential to stain, we’d be required to flag that clearly on our packaging.
Poor Service
I returned an item, almost 30 days after receiving confirmation that AKT had received the item, I still hadnt received a refund. After emailing they finally initiated a refund but no acknowledgement of their poor performance or an apology. Left unimpressed and with the impression this may happen regularly with other returns

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
We’re really sorry to hear how frustrating the returns process felt for you, especially after waiting so long following confirmation that your return had been received. We completely understand why the lack of communication and apology afterwards left a poor impression.
This definitely isn’t the experience we want anyone to have with AKT, and we’ll absolutely be passing this feedback onto the wider team backstage to help us improve both our response times and communication around returns moving forward.
Thank you again for your honesty and for giving us the opportunity to reflect on where we fell short.
Used to be really good
Used to be really good, but the service has gone downhill badly.
I tried placing an order over the course of three days using mobile, my work PC, and my home PC, but the website constantly froze or got stuck in loops. In the end, I spent more than 30 minutes on live chat trying to get help before giving up and ordering elsewhere.
This isn’t the first time either. Last month I had two separate orders within the same period, both with similar issues, although thankfully they were eventually resolved. Unfortunately, the amount of time and effort it now takes just to place an order simply isn’t worth it.
The whole system feels broken — you can’t log in properly, password resets send you round in circles, and the website repeatedly jams up. Really disappointing considering how reliable the service used to be.

We’re really sorry to hear how frustrating the experience has become, especially as a long-time customer who previously found the service reliable and seamless.
We completely understand why this left you disappointed, particularly as you’d already encountered similar issues recently with logging in, password resets and the website performance overall.
Please know we’ll be passing all of this feedback onto the wider team backstage. The detail you’ve shared is genuinely helpful for us in understanding where the customer journey is currently falling short and where improvements are needed.
Thank you again for your honesty, and we’re very sorry we let you down here.
Impressed
I have tried various deodorants so tried the sample pack and was impressed from the first use!
Wasn’t sure about applying with fingers but it has been fine
So far so good and the big test is now with this mini heatwave……so far so good and really impressed 👍🏼

Thanks so much for sharing this, we’re so glad the Discovery set made a great first impression! 😊
We totally get the hesitation around applying with fingers at first, but it’s great to hear you’ve settled into it easily. And surviving a mini heatwave is definitely the ultimate test! 🔥
Really appreciate you taking the time to let us know, so pleased it’s working well for you so far.
Service failure
Whilst I love this product the latest event for me has and will put me off buying again. Due to circumstances I am not around to use the next order. On Friday at 05.24 I received an email advising my next order was due but I had until 9am to amend it - I went into the link which navigated everywhere but to amend the order. When I finally got in ( the time was 7.03 when I spotted the email) it said the window for amendment was no longer open. And said there is 1.5 hours left to amended / edit an order. Who really reads their emails at 5.24 in the morning. This is a way to trap people to send early emails which have a very short time scale to amend - I have emailed AKT and my bank about this but nothing from AKT at all. Well I lie I received a thank you for my order. Now it seems everyday I get something from them like marketing info - pretty disgusting
UPDATE - yes I was sent a reminder 3 days before which clearly I didn't see and I have explained the personal circumstances I face- however the point I'm trying to make is the "then" email gave me the final chance to amend my order which was not valid - regardless of how many reminders may or may not have been sent you should not send emails giving a time frame to edit order only to find "the window is closed" yet you are within time. Like I say I like the product but the admin not so much - refund has been offered as a result of my query eventually so that's good for me so thank you

Hi Carla,
Thanks for your review. We sent you a reminder 3 days before the order was processed. So sorry you missed this. Do reach out to the team if you need any assistance in returning your order.
Take care,
Excellent product!
Started using their deodorant balm last week. In the past with every other product I've needed to reapply and I'm still not fresh by the end of the day. So this product has solved that. I've applied once in the morning and during this hot weather, not smelt. It's lasted through the night as well. Highly recommend!

I LOVE the AKT deodorant balm
I LOVE the AKT deodorant balm! After years of using the same brand in the one I needed to find something better for my body but one that had to work (no one likes stinky pits!), I found AKT.
The scents are gorgeous and they are long lasting. The only reason it’s not a five star is, it takes a while to get used to the tube and to learn how not to cause a split in it.
It’s a keeper! X

This absolutely made our day, thank you so much.
We’re so happy AKT has been a successful switch for you after such a long time using another brand, especially when finding a natural deodorant that actually performs can feel like such a gamble.
And yes, the tube! We completely understand the feedback around that, and it’s something we’re always looking at improving and making clearer for new customers.
So glad it’s become a keeper for you though ✨ Thanks for being part of the AKT cast.
Great product but issues.
I love AKT and will continue my subscription because the deodorant is genuinely excellent — there really isn’t anything else like it on the market.
My issue is with a recent promotional bundle. I was able to place an order successfully, but a week later I received an email saying the bundle was out of stock and that my order had been refunded.
What made this frustrating is that the individual products included in the bundle were still available to buy separately on the website with no apparent stock issues.
As a subscriber, it felt disappointing that I wasn’t able to access the promotional offer, especially when the products themselves were still available. It’s a shame because I was looking forward to trying the body wash and likely would have added it to my subscription.
I still think AKT is a great company with fantastic products, which is why this experience was disappointing enough for me to leave a negative review.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback and also for sticking with us despite this experience. It really means a lot to hear that you love the deodorant and continue to support AKT.
I completely understand why this situation felt frustrating and disappointing. You successfully placed your order, only to find out a week later that the promotional bundle couldn’t be fulfilled, while the individual products still appeared available on the site. From your perspective, that understandably doesn’t feel right, especially as a subscriber who was excited to try the Body Wash through the offer.
The issue came down to the bundle stock itself selling out separately from the individual products, but we absolutely appreciate that this distinction wasn’t clear from the customer side, and the delay in communicating it only added to the frustration. That’s feedback we’re taking seriously because we never want loyal customers to feel overlooked or let down.
We’re genuinely sorry for the disappointment here, particularly as you were looking forward to exploring more of the range. Feedback like yours helps us improve how we manage and communicate promotional stock moving forward.
Thank you again for being so honest and thoughtful with your review, and for continuing to be part of the AKT community. We really do appreciate it.
