DoveVitaminCare+ Aluminum Free Deodorant Stick for 72H Odor Protection Coconut & Shea Breathable Deodorant for Women 2.6 oz

I have tried every cruelty free and/or aluminum free deodorant product on the market since the mid-90s with very little success. The cruelty free part is extremely important to me, and I am happy to see so many companies in recent years going in this direction. I didn’t have a lot of hope that this Dove product would work, but so far it has exceeded my expectations! It did not break me out, and in fact had a soothing effect on my skin. My underarms are extremely sensitive, and I’m allergic to baking soda and other ingredients commonly found in these types of products. The smell (peaches & cream) was light, pleasant, and fresh. And in spite of the fact that I’m currently recovering from surgery, post-menopausal, and extra sweaty and gross right now, this actually keeps me from smelling like a wildebeest carcass left out in the sun. It is a bit pricey (although what isn’t these days?), but definitely worth it if it continues to get the job done.

I just happened upon this when I was looking for my previous deodorant preference from dove and saw that it was aluminum free which I was looking for because I want to get away from all the heavily toxic stuff and it got a good score on this app called Yuka that tells you what harmful additives are in your food and beauty products.All that being said this one works GREAT!!! It’s clear so it doesn’t tarnish your clothes if you brush against it with your clothes. It smells wonderful without being too perfume like. It lasts forever. Super smooth and soothing to apply and I never smell grossness when it’s hot and I’m sweaty all day. Definitely worth the buy!!!

Im a big girl and I been trying to find healthier skin care products in general. Deodorant is the ONLY thing I haven’t been able to switch over to more natural. I’ve tried native, I’ve even tried doves other one that is just aluminum free. The native broke me out from the baking soda and the other dove one just didn’t work for me I was smelly after 1 hour. So I was extremely skeptical about this. KEEP IN MIND, I have VERY SENSITIVE skin! So anything with baking soda was a no for me. I wanted something that would even tone my armpits while Keeping funk away for AT LEAST lasting 24hrs. That’s it!This SURPASSES MY EXPECTATIONS! My skin LOVES IT! No reaction at all! No itching no nothing! And after an hour my armpits smell GREAT! So I tested it. I took a shower at night. EXFOLIATED my armpits because the antiperspirant ingredients leave a film I never liked which always caused me breakouts. I applied the deodorant and the next day woke up and DIDNT REAPPLY! I stayed home and cleaned and when I say I SWEAT! I SWEAT! My face was drenched my shirt, thighs, everything!! Living in FL definitely makes me sweat more also! And by the end of the day, so a little over 24 hours there was barely any funk AT ALL! Like NONE! I was IMPRESSED!I never thought a aluminum free deodorant would work so WELLL!! and so I tested it just like I do with the antiperspirants I use. So after the cleaning etc, I REAPPLIED WITHOUT A SHOWER!! Just to REALLY test it and see if it would mask it OR to see if a shower was needed. The deodorant made me smell SO FRESH! My armpits smell like I took a shower again!It’s been over 48 hours now and I’ve only had to reapply 1X after sweating! I definitely believe this would last the full 72 hours or claims you just have to Reapply when needed. I definitely won’t need the full 72 hours but I’ve been in situations where I have cause you never know where life takes you.OVERALL! If you’re questioning its power I definitely recommend for sensitive skin that can’t have baking soda in their deodorant. THIS IS THE ONE!Don’t let other reviews scare you some people have different body makeup and BO that needs something different. But if you’re anything like me who never thought I could use an aluminum free deodorant and one that’s good for my skin AND LASTS! YES! YES! YES! Just get it!I no longer feel left out of the “wave” and lol can feel that and own that confidently in a product I now trust!

I evaluated Dove's aluminum-free deodorant, noting its pleasant fragrance and smooth, clear application without garment staining. However, as this product functions as a deodorant, not an antiperspirant, perspiration is expected during warmer temperatures or physical activity. While the fragrance is initially appealing, its longevity is limited; under moderate conditions (61°F, minimal activity), effectiveness lasts approximately 3-4 hours. The deodorant's dissipation significantly reduces its efficacy compared to Native or Humble dedorant brands, with Dove dedorant necessitating 2-3 daily applications. I do not recommend this deodorant for strenuous activities or gym workouts due to insufficient lasting power, resulting in noticeable body odor. Overall, I rate this product a C, acknowledging its positive attributes (smooth application, pleasant scent, no staining) while acknowledging its significant shortcoming: inadequate lasting power and the need for frequent reapplication. I am glad I tried this product to satisfy my curiosity, but will not repurchase.
