Description

Meet Dove Advanced Care Cool Essentials Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick, which works to help your skin barrier repair after shaving with every use, delivering soft, resilient underarms with every use If you love a fresh scented deodorant, try the juicy pear and crisp cucumber in this antiperspirant deodorant, to energize and uplift your senses throughout the day. When it comes to creating a self-care routine, your underarms deserve exceptional skin care. Dove Advanced Care antiperspirant deodorant range features innovative Pro Ceramide Technology that boosts ceramide levels in your skin, which are essential for maintaining a strong skin barrier. This increase of ceramides helps your skin barrier repair and recover after shaving (especially as shaving can actually reduce ceramide levels in your skin). Using this kind-to-skin antiperspirant deodorant stick means underarms can benefit from better skin care and some well-deserved TLC, without letting any shaving worries get in the way. Did you know that when you shave, ⅓ of what you remove is skin? Cue Dove Advanced Care Cool Essentials Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick, infused with Pro Ceramide Technology to strengthen your skin barrier and help it recover from shaving symptoms, like dryness and redness. This antiperspirant deodorant provide 72 hour odor control and all-day underarm sweat protection by quickly drying on your skin when you need it the most. Get ready to shave, apply antiperspirant deodorant and start the day with touchably soft skin. Hold one arm above your head and use the other to apply your antiperspirant deodorant, gliding it on in light circles. Repeat under the other arm. Remember to wait a few minutes before applying your antiperspirant deodorant stick after shaving* – the formula works best on cool, dry skin. Don’t just reserve your antiperspirant deodorant stick for the daytime – you can apply it before you go to bed, too. Sleeping with antiperspirant on means the nourishing formula has more time to set and protect your underarms, so you can wake up feeling refreshed and uplifted. Globally, Dove does not test on animals and is PETA Approved, and this antiperspirant deodorant stick is PETA Approved Vegan. *Do not use on broken skin

Q: Does this have aluminum?In your Dove Deorderant formula?

submitted by Cusotmer - 11 months ago

  • A: Thanks for your interest in our Advanced Care Cool Essentials Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick. Yes, Unilever antiperspirant-deodorants – as do all antiperspirant-deodorants that comply with FDA regulations – contain aluminum (which is a safe and efficacious way to control sweat and associated body odors). According to the Personal Care Products Council, the overwhelming mass of toxicity data available does not indicate any risk of harmful effects from using any cosmetic/personal care products that contain Aluminum. We hope this helps!

    Dove Advanced Care offers great absorption, feels comfortable all day, leaves minimal residue, and delivers reliable freshness in a practical easy-to-use package.

    Dove Advanced Care feels very comfortable on the skin with a smooth application that dries quickly and absorbs well without feeling sticky. I also love that it leaves very little residue on clothes while still delivering strong all-day performance and freshness. The packaging is practical and easy to use, and the formula keeps my underarms soft, protected, and hydrated throughout the day.

    Great product

    I have been using Dove products, my whole life using the soaps. I love how they make your skin feel so soft. And I have been using your deodorant ever since you have come out with them. I love the cucumber, melon deodorant. I love The scent how it smells so light in fruity. I enjoy wearing your deodorant because it gives me full protection and absorption all day long and does not leave any nasty residue on your clothing, I would highly recommend this product to other people to give it a try

    Long lasting, but may cause irritation

    This deodorant works really well and holds up even during hot summer days. The scent is clean and fresh but not overpowering and it applies smoothly. The only downside is that leaving it on for more than 8 hours causes me some itching and irritation on my underarms. Overall, an affordable and effective anti-perspirant option.

    Long- lasting protection and gentle care. 👍

    The dove advance care deodorant line is characterized by combining antiperspirant protection with skin care, offering up to 72 hours of sweat and odor control, along with moisturizing ingredients such as Pro- ceramide technology that help repair skin after shaving. It is usually creamy and smooth. Is practical and functional, available in formats such as stick and spray, easy to use and carry.

    Smells fresh

    Ome of the signature products frim Dove! I like how fresh the scent is, definitely not overpowering at all. However, in terms of packaging, I wish they accounted for how much residue got left behind and stuck to the cap because of the curve.

    NEW FORMULA SUCKS

    I have used Dove "Cool Essentials" antiperspirant/deodorant for YEARS, as I am very sensitive to the odors and chemical compositions of other deodorants. Well, the two days ago, I opened a new stick of Dove Cool Essentials and put it on my underarms after my shower, as usual. Within 2 minutes, I noticed that my eyes and nose were burning inside and the odor from the Dove stick were overwhelmingly strong!!! I washed it off and thought maybe I was being overly sensitive. I had a previously opened travel size stick of Dove deodorant, so I used it with no problems. Last night, I tried the new stick of Dove and immediately had to wash it off. I asked my husband, who is not overly sensitive to smells, whether or not he could smell my new deodorant and he commented that he was wondering why he could smell it all the way across the bedroom, as he knows that I prefer mild, fresh scented deodorant. I cannot continue to use this product and will be making sure to tell everyone that uses Dove to be careful of the formula changes!!!! DOVE NEEDS TO BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL FORMULA!

    I absolutely love this deodorant! The scent is fresh and clean without being overpowering, and keeps me feeling dry and confident all day long. It goes on smoothly and doesn’t leave white mark on my clothes. I also noticed its gentle on my skin, no irritation at all. A definitely must have on my daily routine. Highly recommended.

    Last for 72 hours

    I love it because it doesn’t stain underarms, it’s easily absorbed, fits in your purse, has a super subtle scent and is long-lasting. It prevents odor and sweat for up to 72 hours. It has very sturdy packaging.

    New Formula Gave Me a Rash

    I have been using this product for years because it was the only deodorant that didn't make my armpits break out into a rash. I thought that maybe only the packaging had changed but after I used it for a few days I realized the formula changed too. After using it for 4 days I got red bumps on both armpits that itch like crazy. I wish the packaging said new formula to warn me but you have now lost a customer of 20 years. Please bring back the old formula

    So Disappointing

    Getting on the bandwagon with all the haters! This new formula is terrible. I have been using Dove cook essentials for at least 15 years. Why do companies always have to mess with what’s good. The new formula is greasy, and doesn’t absorb, and it does not provide the same protection. So disappointing for a company that prides itself on caring for women. Perhaps another example of a company cutting costs so shareholders become richer? Back to the drawing board to find a new antiperspirant.

    Ruined a good thing!

    You guys at Dove done messed up a fantastic product! I don’t even know how many years I’ve been using the cucumber cool essentials advanced care, but I recently restocked and been driving myself nuts all week wondering why I suddenly have BO for the first time in my life. I even washed my coat thinking it was making my sweaters stinky despite me rarely ever sweating in it. Did some research and come to find out about the formula change. Such a shame. Now I need to return the bundle I just got and hit the shops to find the old trusted and true formula. **note to those experiencing the same thing—- I think it’s this new “Pro-ceramide technology”! Old one was “NutriumMoisture”. Dove, if you wanna jump on this ceramide beauty trend then fine. But make it a separate line for those who actually need it. Or just save it for a product where it’s actually effective. The rest of us want the stuff that kept our pits fresh, not some tiny microdose of ‘ceramides’ that likely doesn’t make a difference anyway. Bring back the old the old stuff!

    Terrible New Scent!

    The new scent is terrible. It’s like grandma’s powdery perfume instead of a tried-and-true crisp scent. Why mess with a good thing?? This has been my deodorant for SO long, but I just can’t wear the new formula. Please go back to the old scent.

    Loved and used for years with no issues the old formula in this scent 48 hour. Will be finding a new alternative. This no longer works, the smell is awful and I fell asleep if I have body odor all day. Lost a long time dove customer.

    New formulation is awful

    The formula and active ingredient have both changed. Used the old one for years and very happy with it. This new formulation is awful - doesn’t work as well and makes me itch. Very disappointed and, sadly, will no longer be a Dove customer as I look for an alternate product.
