Terrible products

I gave "comme avant" a shot, as I liked the concept. I bought 5 products which came together as a bundle.
1.deodorant: So, so dry, scrape your skin when you apply, smells horrible and doesn't work.
2. Shea butter cream bar. As dry and scrappy as a pumice foot stone. What am I even supposed to do with it?
3.Toothpaste. Opened the box and the powder came flying everywhere. Really terrible packaging, Same thing happened when I opened it a second time. Not particularly pleasant in mouth. Been sticking to my old toothpaste as I don't enjoy this product.
4. Argan oil shampoo bar. Haven't actually used it, scared to do so. Smells horrible and looks like a greasy hard bar of mud, which I'm worried, will be too greasy and hard to wash off on my very thick hair. It's possible the reluctance to use it comes from the disappointment of the other products.
5. olive oil soap. It's ok. Nothing to rave about, Certainly nothing on "Le petit Marseillais".

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback, we are sorry to hear that you don’t appreciate our products.

Here are a few tips to help you use our products.
Deodorant: To apply our deodorant easily, you can apply the stick deodorant first on your skin (on your forearm for example) for the product to slightly melt to make it easier to apply. If necessary, you can also run it under warm water for a couple of seconds for the product to melt a bit.
Cream: To easily apply our cream, warm it up in your hands by rubbing it between your palms for a few seconds. When it starts melting, you can gently apply the excess cream on your skin or hair. Don't forget to store it in a sterilised jar with a lid and (an old jam jar for example). This will prevent it from getting hard and drying!
Toothpaste: We are sorry to hear that you don't appreciate our new toothpaste packaging. We've spent a long time looking for an alternative to our previous plastic container, which could be both zero waste and practical. This isn't easy for our powdered format! Here is our tutorial to use it: http://si-creative.fr/comme-avant/tuto_dentifrice_poudre_saliere_en.mov I can assure you that we take into consideration our clients' feedback. If you can't use our shaker format, we recommend pouring some powder into another container (a small glass jar for example) to avoid any waste. You can refill it as you use it. Please note that you can also directly buy our powdered toothpaste refills that are sold in 100g and 250g bags with reduced rates. With regards to the powder, it does take some time to get used to as our product is completely different from what you could find elsewhere.
Shampoo: you should give it a try! Our products don’t contain any essential oils or perfume. Our products’ smell comes from the raw ingredients. The smell can surprise to start with, especially if you used to use perfumed products.
Soap: our soap isn’t a « Savon de Marseille ». Unlike « Savon de Marseille", which uses various oils, our soap only contains olive oil and is made through cold saponification.

We hope all our recommendations will help you use and appreciate our products! 🙂
Regards,
Sophie

Great products PLUS they still deliver to the UK :-)

In light of this Brexit fiasco and us UK residents not being able to purchase goods from our EU neighbours, Comme Avant without hesitation said that they will still deliver to the UK and by gosh they did. My soap arrived within a week with no issues.
I have tried the soap over Christmas and it is amazing. I have now begun switching over to it. Lathers wonderfully and does not irritate or cause my skin to become dry.
The dishwasher powder is great for everyday dishes. However I found that for really dirty pots and pans I need to use a tab of regular dishwasher detergent. That said, I have significantly reduced my dependency on the strong stuff and use the Comme Avant dishwasher powder most of the time.
The lotion bars are lovely and moisturises my dry winter skin. However it is a bit too time consuming
to use. When Comme Avant come out with a salve/body butter I will try it again.
I like that the products are made with so few ingredients which means kinder for the planet.

Wonderful products

Wonderful products, everything arrived on time, thank you!
I especially love the solid cream that me and my husband are using as a facial cream in the mornings.

Great concept but products are not as effective or easy to use and they should be.

I bought the whole kit as I thought it was a great concept but the products are hard to use.
I mainly need a bio deodorant and not only was it very hard to apply at first but it also doesn't work, unfortunately.
I used it for over a week to see if the body needed time to adjust and it just ruined my clothes with armpit smell.

I'm going to gift the rest of the kit as I don't think it is for me.

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback, we are sorry to hear that you don't appreciate your products.

Here are a couple of tips to use it. To apply our deodorant easily, you can apply the stick deodorant first on your skin (on your forearm for example) for the product to slightly melt to make it easier to apply. If necessary, you can also run it under warm water for a couple of seconds for the product to melt a bit.

To avoid our deodorant from marking your clothes, just wait a couple of minutes between applying the deodorant (a small quantity is enough) and putting your clothes on. If your clothes are already stained, we are sorry about this. However, you can clean white clothes with percarbonate, this should solve this issue. For black or dark clothes, you can wash them at 40°C in your machine. If the stains don't go away, you can add soda crystals in your machine, this will remove any grease. We hope this helps, let us know if it works!

If you weren’t using a natural deodorant beforehand, your body will need some time to get used to our deodorant. Your body will regulate itself within 7 to 10 days, as your body's natural methods to eliminate toxins won’t be blocked anymore. After this adjustment period, your body will regain its rights and our deodorant will protect you normally.

You can find more advice right here: https://en.comme-avant.bio/blogs/comme-avants-adventure/transition-to-a-natural-deodorant 🙂

We hope this helps and that you'll get to appreciate our deodorant! Let us know if you need more advice for the other products.

Bien à vous,
Marie

I ordered the menthol toothpaste powder…

I ordered the menthol toothpaste powder which I have been using for over a year and I have to say it's the absolute best.
It's easy to use and very good value for money because it goes a long way.
I'm super satisfied and would recommend it to anyone who wants to keep their teeth healthy, clean and white in total respect of nature.
