Deodorant is ok, but most of it is wasted because of the container design.

published

The deodorant leaks out into the lid so most of it is wasted. Poor design and a waste of money. I like the deodorant and usually use this brand, but the last two I have bought leak into the lid, you don't have the option of standing it up the other way or hanging it either.

Save Our Animals

published

I am not a miserable, lonely person that sits on the sofa writing bad reviews to boost my self - esteem. I AM a person that cares about animals. Animals are innocent, beautiful creatures that are being severely injured or even murdered due to toxic chemicals. Dove is one of the companies that partake in animal experimentation. Please stop testing on our innocent animals. Thank You.

Leaves a white residue

published

I sweat quite a bit and I've been searching for a deo that I can use during summer. I decided to purchase this when it was on special. It works for sure. Keeps me dry and non-stinky BUT Dove Women Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick Original (40g) leaves a white residue in my pits and I can't get over it. I'll need to throw this coz I can't keep checking for white residue

summer must-have

published

I love this anti-perspirant so much, this deodorant is powerful enough to keep my sweat at bay especially during tough summer days. I put about two to three wipes & I smell just fine.

used this on tough summer days

published

this deodorant is a must have on summer days, it's dry so it doesn't add to the grease that summer brings. my armpits are soft and importantly, the anti-perspirant factor last for long.

Purchased in November 2018.

Average deodorant

published

Smells so strong, even 3/4 through the day all I can smell is Dove. My problem with this is that it is so strong. I like that the dry stick means it's dry straight away and you don't need to wait for the wetness of a roll-on to dry. Feels moisturising.
Goes on 'dry'

It is good because it cares for your skin as well as keeping you nice and fresh. In really hot weather I would prefer a sport type deodorant for extra peace of mind
Smells really nice and dries fairly quickly
Not as good odour protection as other brands such as Mitchum sport

I have to say Dove is a good deodorant but I normally use the unscented onebut bought this as they had run out of the other. I must say I liked the smell but I found it was to much with my perfume, I have used it wiithout perfume andits really good, smells great and keeps me dry all day long. I use this for the days when I am not wearing perfume and it is well priced and it does work, I like the packaging, the smell is great and the price is just right, I have it all.
I dont usually buy this one I usually buy the unscented deodorant from Dove.
I like the smell but it clashes with my perfume.

how to apply Dove Original Deodorant Cream?

1 answer
sue49
sue49

it is a regular roll-on deodorant. For me the advantage is that it stands with the tip downwards so I don't have to tilt it and wait for the ball to get covered in the cream before I use it. So I like the design of the packaging, that's all.

Details

Made with its renowned one quarter moisturising cream formulation, the Dove Original Deodorant is made to be gentle, and is alos designed to give you two full days (48 hours) of antiperspirant protection.

Points of Praise

  • Dove Original Deodorant does an effective job of keeping body odour away, even on hot days. As one reviewer stated, she never had smelly pits, and many reviewers shared a similar observation.
  • The fragrance was widely considered pleasant-smelling by reviewers. While most considered it a ‘gentle’ scent, a few people found it strong.
  • Mild on skin, reviewers appreciated the addition of moisturising cream to the ingredients list, and that the experience of the deodorant feeling soft and smooth on their skin.
  • This Dove deodorant is dry when applied, which was appreciated by those who don’t want to worry about wet armpits caused by their deodorant not drying in time.
  • Available in an aerosol can (250mL or 169mL) or in a roll-on bottle (50 mL).

Points to Consider

  • This deodorant sometimes leaves a white residue on clothing, which can be a nuisance, especially on dark clothing.
  • The opaque bottle for the roll-on means that you can’t see how much product is left. This means your deodorant may run out unexpectedly, without you realising it’s reaching the end - potentially leaving you high and dry.
