Q: Why do the specifications say “No Fragrance Added” and the third ingredient is “fragrance”?
submitted by E - 4 months ago
A: Hi there! That is a fair question. We label it as "No Fragrance Added" because we don't include perfumes for scent. We use a trace amount of fragrance purely as a masking agent to neutralize the natural, medicinal odor of the active ingredients, ensuring the product itself remains neutral rather than smelling like chemicals. Hope this helps!

A: Because the product is Fresh Sent per the picture and not Unscented per the description.
submitted byEvg - 3 months ago
Q: Why is this marked unscented when clearly it says powder fresh right on the item in the picture?! Fix this it’s misleading & incorrect.

Wrong product keeps getting delivered
I ordered the UNSCENTED variety of Certain DRI Extra Strength and it came in as POWDER FRESH. Not unscented. I returned it and replaced and came in AGAIN as powder fresh. How can I get the unscented version. I do not like being a repeated returner.

Not unscented but still good
Great deodorant! Works great and with less irritation than the roll on version. However it’s not unscented. I received the powder fresh scent and when customer support sent a replacement it was again powder fresh. Fortunately the scent isn’t too strong.

Works well but...
I wish this solid had no scent. it was strong ND somewhat interfered with my perfume until it dried and then it was extremely mild.. I now shower hours before having to leave the house so it gives the formula time to dry

Best OTC deoderant
Provides extra protection from sweat and odor. Solid does not cause the irritation I get from the roll on version which is good if you have sensitive skin. Smells good, too.

Amazing.
I’ve been using the roll on for a while and it really does work! I’ve had no luck at all with finding any antiperspirant or deodorant that works for me. I’ve tried SOO many till now! No looking back. I’m excited to try this powder stick next :)

Really works
This anti-perspirant really works if you suffer from excessive sweating. It does have to be used at night, as directed, and with consistent use noticeably reduces perspiration. The solid does not irritate skin the way the roll-on does (especially after shaving).
