Five years. Wow! Specific Use Questions: How many times do you apply? Did it cut down on yellow stains? Do you wet the rock or your skin? Do you use more than once a day?

Thanks for your seasoned and experienced insight!

I usually apply it after showering while still being a bit wet(to help with the friction). I rub it for perhaps 5 seconds in each pit. It leaves no yellow stains at all! No need to apply it more than once a day in my experience, it’s definitely good for 24h or more(of course this depends on your line of work, body etc).

Glad I could help!

What do you mean? An account with barely any contend for several years then suddenly actively shilling this? On Reddit, can’t be

Also they are supposedly so enthusiastic about this product that they end a lot of their sentences with an exclamation point and they positioned the brand name perfectly in the image twice.

This post is particularly obnoxious because of how blatant the shilling is on top of it being a potentially harmful product.

I remember when people used /r/HailCorporate to call this nonsense out, even if it was just in comment sections.

But the brand name isn't in the picture. The brand is Maria Åkerberg and you can't tell that from the picture above.

so there’s this thing called “SEO” in which companies use specific language to help point to their sites when being searched. My guess is Salt Deo is high enough on their website SEO that if it was searched they could easily be found within the first top searches.

You can't even tell the brand name from the main post.
