Dove Refillable Deodorant Starter Kit 0% Aluminum Cucumber & Green Tea Aluminum Free Deodorant 1.13 oz

*This is a review retraction update. Product proved to be defective after a weeks use. Previous reviews are correct that the stick breaks with too much pressure. Fact is not much pressure is needed at all to fracture the contents. Not worth the money.* I’ve used aluminum free deod for a while now so I’m used to the difference between aluminum and aluminum free. A lot of comments stating ppl didn’t think this item was great because they still sweat. You have to convert to aluminum free over a cpl of months. Your body requires a period of adjustment. This deod is very well made and works well in my opinion. I live a very active lifestyle and run around a lot. I’m not having an issues with this deod not working. It holds up very well. Smells is subtle & nice. Packaging is modern and well weighted. Haven’t had an issue of the stick breaking off like others said though. I wouldn’t man handle it but it’s sturdy. The lack of continuous plastic disposable packaging is nice. I’ll be placing this item on a subscription so long as it’s available on Amazon. Moisturizing and pleasant deod.

I’ve used the original aluminum formula for years that works great but has caused me irritation. So I tried this 0% formula and it only lasts a few hours. Plus, the stick started coming off the base and I was extra gentle in applying because of other reviews saying it falls off. Needs LOTS of improvements.

The deodorant smells good but it doesn’t work all day.

The dispenser kept opening and then the deodorant came off the base. Good idea but poorly designed.

Its definitely aluminum free. I forgot that when you switch to aluminum free that theres 4-6 weeks of funk under the arms until the pores that were blocked by the aluminum are clean and clear. It was a smell I was unprepared for. I realize this is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant, and with that in mind, it did exactly as it should have. If you dont want to sweat so much, its not for you. Aluminum Free is great. It shows how much everyone sweats when their pores arent clogged by years of aluminum use. The stick feels great against the skin, and is silky soft. However, I did have to buy an aluminum antiperspirant. When I can hide away from other people for 2 months, Ill switch to aluminum free. Showering twice, and washing my underarms 6+ times a day just to make myself feel kind of clean doesnt work for me right now. The stick didnt break for me, and the base seemed fine. The container was wonderful. It was beautifully crafted, and very sleek. The only problem I had was that the lid didnt snap shut after the first time. It popped back up just enough that it fell off in my purse. I still wouldve bought a refill, when I switched back to Dove aluminum antiperspirants, if there had been an aluminum option. It seems like a waste that the product with the least amount of plastic comes in aluminum free only.

This is a fantastic way to use less plastic for a good price. I previously used the regular version of this whose only real benefit over this was it was bigger, I realized that at the same time that was also one of its biggest downsides with how easy it is to carry this one around with me in my backpack on those long days (which often are multiple days long) I’ve been using these for some time now, gone through seven sticks (the original that came with it and three dual packs) I’ve yet to have an issue where the stick detached from the base or breaks while applying (or breaks at all for that matter) I don’t know if Dove made any changes after people had complained of this happening or if some people are just really aggressive while applying their deodorant, either way, I love this stuff and hope for more scents and larger packs to come

I love this deodorant. It looks nice on my counter and it smells great. It seems to moisturize like other dove products as well. Ive been using it for a week and mine didnt break yet so fingers crossed. I do see how it broke for others so dont goon hand it,its fragile lol. Also while attractive, I dont think the lid will stay on in a gym bag so carry the regular container of 0% for those occasions.

The lid comes off and the insert comes out. My purse has more deodorant than me! I even keep it in that small pocket for like a phone or something and it comes open all the time. The smell isnt as great as I hoped. Its very sticky and leaves a weird residue even after showers I feel like its still there. Not for me but with that said my teens love the ones I bought them. I dont think they are worth the money compared to just a regular stick of dove (which I use)

Good concept, but like everyone else I now hold the glob of deodorant in my hand to apply. Ill go back to the plastic stick.

Just what I was afraid of, after about a month, the deodorant stick broke off the mount at the join. Now it is completely useless unless I want to hold it in my hand. I do not. I would include a picture, but I have already thrown it out.
