“Doesn't neutralize body odor--sometimes makes me smell worse. Note there is a eucalyptus/minty burn when you first apply, similar to the sensation of camphor/tiger balm. I don't mind it, and I don't find it irritating. It's sort of pleasant but definitely surprising and intense the first time you do it. Wouldn't recommend over razor burn. Packaging is fine.
