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

    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.

    Go back to the old formula please!

    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.

    Love it, but hooe ttey can still do better

    I love the smell and smooth texture of this deodorant/antiperspirant, but I am still hoping that Dove will be able to figure out how to make an antiperspirant that does not contain aluminum. I understand they have deodorant that is aluminum free, but that doesn’t really help with the antiperspirant side of things and I’m not jazzed about aluminum deposits going into my skin.

    Stay Away

    This was my favorite deodorant up until this purchase. The scent was clean and fresh. Now it smells like straight up cleaning solution once you apply it. It was so much, I thought my clothes smelled but no…it was this deodorant. Just be aware it changed.

    Og product

    Great deodorant! I really like the smell as well, as it is not overpowering (I have a sensitive nose and am picky when it comes to these things). I use this regularly and find that it does decrease sweating a TON. This is an og product for me and I will continue to use it. The negative thing I will say is why is it so expensive? It does lose a star in the "Value" category due to this as I don't believe that deodorant should be more than $6 max.

    Awful new smell

    So it looks like it’s not just me that noticed a change! I’ve used this deodorant for many years and can no longer use it. The smell is very strong, almost like a cleaner. My daughter tried it and I can’t even stand the smell on her, so I tossed it. Need to find a new deodorant now.

    Poor

    Terrible, headache inducing fragrance. Why change such a great product? The new formula's ingredients are not good. Would you please continue making the 48hr, effective, nicely scented product you used to sell?

    A wonderful product is now slimy and useless

    Ugg. This is now just a useless horrible product. It doesn't keep me dry, it doesn't keep from being stinky. It's slimy putting it on. The smell is gross. Which I would endure if it still worked but *SIGH* my favorite deodorant ever is gone. Why oh why oh why did the company change a brilliant product to one that is junk. I have to find a replacement, so if they ever change it back how will I know? I really hate this.
    Disappointed and angry

    I bought these again for like the 5th time but something about these changed. They’re a bit more dry. They don’t smell that good anymore. The scent used to be amazing! I used to love these. But wouldn’t buy again!

    I have used this scent for at least a decade. The new scent is so strong and weird! It burns my nose all day long and gives me migraines. Very sad that I bought 2 4-packs Please switch back!

    Bring back the 48 hr one

    I've been using. This deodorant scent since I can remember, I typically get the 48 hr one until recently when that wasn't an option so I was forced to get the 72 hour one and wish I hadn't. This new formula doesn't work as well as the last one and after using it for some time have noticed that it leaves a powder residue on my clothes. I had a 48 hr one left and used that for a week to compare and sure enough it wasn't an issue. I wish I didn't have to switch but this might finally have me changing brands, which I'm sad about because this has been my scent for many years. I wish they would have kept the 48 hr as an option

    Reaction to new formula

    The new formula is horrible and gave me such a bad reaction of burning, itching, bumps, rash, and peeling. I had been using this deodorant and scent for years and the new formula went on slicker/wetter and I was in so much pain it’s still unbearable days later. I think I will be switching all of my Dove products for fear of reactions like this now. It’s unfortunate since I have sensitive skin and this always worked for me and the smell used to amazing as well. STAY FAR AWAY, DO NOT BUY
