When I received the pkg (which by the way is environmentaly friendly) I thought there was a mistake and I had been sent a sample because the tube is tiny. But then I used just a pea size amount as instructed and I did not had to apply for the following 3 days. Now I understand why the tiny tube: You only need to use very little and it lasts (in my case at least) for three days. I am converted to Nuud, so long expensive high street deodorant brands! see you never!
