Review summary

Customers frequently praise the wonderful and refreshing scents, noting that the reliable antiperspirant effectively keeps them dry, comfortable, and fresh throughout the entire day. Consumers also appreciate the smooth application texture, flexible subscription options, and the practical eco-friendly design that successfully helps reduce daily plastic waste.

Received my first refill subscription for my make waves antiperspirant and super pleased with how smoothly it went. Still really amazed with how good this product is. It even worked in 37°+ heat whils... See more

I switched to fully natural products a few years ago and struggled to find an antiperspirant until I found Waves (most companies do deodorant which are different and don't fit my lifestyle!). It's an... See more

Great company

I have been using their antiperspirant for a few years now. After trying a few different sustainable companies this was the only one that didn't make my under arms itch. They have a fairly small range of scents but the ones they do have smell great. Definitely recommend this company.

Using for two years now, it's great

I've been using Make Waves for 2 years now, love it. The original holder is still as good as new and after trying most of the fragrances I now purchase the same 3 on subscription ... Coconut & Vanilla, Pink Pomegranate, Jasmine & Rose. Love all 3!

Lovely smelling products

Lovely smelling products. I’ve chosen some different scents than my first order and they all smell great. They also keep me feeling fresh and dry - even in the hot weather.
Love the design. Ordering is a breeze too!

Been using this for about a year,it…

Been using this for about a year,it last smells good but if you do sweat it leaves a white residue on your clothes which is extremely difficult to get off. I buy a special spray to sort the problem, I am thinking of trying a different make

Love the concept not the fragrance.

Love the concept. Previously used a different brand and thought I'd give this a go. Not thrilled by it. Sadly it doesn't leave me feeling dry and protected! Bought the rose and rhubarb and found the scent very overpowering. I have ordered 3 new scents to give them a fair go and hopefully these will be better.

Amazing product that actually works

Amazing product that actually works! I’ve also previously purchased Mitchum deodorant but Make Waves is kinder on my skin and works more effectively. If you are reading this - this is your sign to try it!

I love this product

I love this product. It does what it says on the tin! My husband has also started using it so I am going to have to buy another outer container. Really impressed 🙂

Best refillable antiperspirant I’ve tried!

Unlike most refillable deodorants I’ve tried, this one is so much better at not staining and you can actually feel how the antiperspirant helps to keep you dry. The different scents smell amazing, I’ve not had one I didn’t like. Can highly recommend this brand!

A great product

A great product - I have used similar brands before, but this my favourite. I don't think it leaves the same amount of white transfer on clothes. The subscription service is really easy to use, with prompt delivery.

Big Fan!

I have been buying from Make Waves for some time now and not only does the refillable option make it easier on me for sustainability, but it's also the cheapest option for sustainable anti-persperant too!
I get so sick of people saying 'just use deodorant it'll work after x many days/weeks/months' but I have a condition that makes me allergic to my own sweat, this is just perfect!

Love it

I'm a runner so sweat protection is a must and this certainly does the job. I've been using it for a while and can't fault it. The subscription service is also easy to use.

I've tried all the well known brands…

I've tried all the well known brands that promise this and that but honestly, none of them lived up to expectations. I know there are a few brands out there that are natural deodorant but that isn't enough, I needed the anti-perspirant as well and Make Waves delivers. I've been using MW for a few years now and haven't looked back.

I was looking for a new deodorant … this it it!

I was looking for a new deodorant that would not irritate my sensitive skin … Make Waves is the answer. I now have a subscription which makes life easy and is very flexible. The deodorant is great (does what it says on the tin 😉) and the smells are delicious. Love them 🥰
