Mitchum South Africa
Based on recent customer reviews, Mitchum South Africa is receiving predominantly negative feedback, particularly regarding recent product reformulations. Long-standing loyal customers consistently mention disappointment with newer ranges including the gel formulas, Naturals Coconut, Sport, Eucalyptus, and Powder Fresh variants. A recurring theme is skin irritation, burning sensations, rashes, and reduced odour protection. Customers also raise concerns about residue on clothing and unreachable customer service channels. A smaller portion of reviewers continue to praise the original roll-on for being long-lasting, affordable, and stain-free, suggesting brand equity remains tied to legacy formulations.

End of last month I went to Clicks got my self a Mitchum Gel. I was so disappointed. It lasted about 2 weeks and my armpits did not have 48hrs protection. I swear I was sweaty during midday already. The roll on lasts me the full month and I stay dry throughout. Not value for my money at all and to think that I paid more than double the price for the gel then I do with the roll on.

I got a severe skin rash and burning from this new Mitchum Natural Power Coconut woman Roll on. It is burning like hell it self, and it says Non irritating, Dermatologist tested and Alcohol free, but if this was the case it would not have this affect.

I have purchased the new Mitchum triple proetction gel formula, to my dismay I purchased x 2 roll on's and after one day of use it left my red irriated and left a weird musky smell!! This new gel formula sucks leaves a thick white residue on clothing and when scrubbing underarms still feels sticky a waste of good money. I think I will have to go back to using my Nivea roll on which is cheaper and more reliable!

I've been using mitchum for years and it's been the best that I've ever used but recently I changed to the sport scent. I'm disappointed because in less than 2 hours I get a sweat smell through it when it used to keep me dry and odour free whole day. They've definitely changed something and they something isn't good
