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

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.

I thought this would be a great idea. The deodorant itself is nice but the third time I used it the deodorant broke off of the container and fell in the sink. I tried to put it back on but it breaks off as soon as you try to use it again.

I really wanted to like this. I like the idea. But if you’ve ever broken your lipstick off the tube, expect the same thing to happen with this. The 2nd time I used it, the deodorant broke off of the holder, which means I have to hold the “gel stick” in my hands to apply it. Good idea. Bad execution.

I was excited to find this refillable Dove container. The scent is terrific, and I like the aluminum-free formula of the antiperspirant itself. I also like the minimalization of waste. The only downside (and its a pretty significant one) is that the actual stick deodorant breaks off at the base. There isnt a sleeve for the stick to fit in and use as a guide and a sort of walled reinforcement. A bit of a design flaw, I would say. The stick just breaks off and I have to hold the antiperspirant with my hand to apply it. I will use up the two refills I bought with my initial order, and will likely go back to the traditional roll up stick style when this runs out.

*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.

The deodorant broke off the refill one month in. If that didn’t happen, this would be the best product. But now I have to cup it in my hand to use and it’s kinda gross.

I like the idea & look of this product. Also looks nice to travel with. I like the scent as well. I took caution to use it & not break it, but no matter how careful I was, the deodorant broke! Wish they fix this issuesoon! I also have trouble locking the top, so I have to mess with a bit to make sure it works.

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.

The little ball of deodorant doesn’t stay on the case. Every time I try to swipe some on it melts off. The little replacement base doesn’t come out, that’s very secure. The actual deodorant melts off/crumbles off the case. I really wanted to like this product!!! Edit: I had to lower my rating because I had decided to try to continue to use it because I didn’t want it to go to waste but after trying it for a week I have a terrible rash on my underarms. I am so uncomfortable and stopped using it immediately. Please do not buy this product. I don’t even have sensitive skin.

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.
