Dove antiperspirant deodorant

I never get the same deodorant after I have used it, I guess I like experimenting with different kinds, and I have never yet found a deodorant that I absolutely love. So when I saw Dove go fresh antiperspirant deodorant for £1 in ASDA, I decided I would give yet another deodorant/antiperspirant a go.

Dove go fresh antiperspirant deodorant claims to give 24 hour protection while still allowing your skin to breathe, and It also claims to have a cucumber & green tea scent. So brilliant, a deodorant that keeps me dry for 24 hours, and stops me smelling! It also says that it is ¼ moisturiser and that it has 0% alcohol in it.

The deodorant/antiperspirant comes in a small white and green bottle. The lid twists on and off easily. On the front of the bottle it has a picture of a cucumber and some information about the product, and on the back of the bottle it has a list of ingredients. The bottle is quite attractive really and a lot nicer then some other deodorant bottles I have seen before.

When applying the roll on, you just take off the lid and roll the deodorant all over your armpits. The deodorant left the bottle and went onto my armpits easily, I have no complaints with that. When the deodorant was on my armpits it did take a while to dry before I could put on my clothes. I found myself wafting my arms around the room trying to get it to dry a bit quicker. I could tell that this deodorant was quite moisturising, and it didn't irritate my skin at all when I applied it, which is very good news as my skin is quite sensitive!

I had never really smelt cucumbers or green tea before, so I wasn't very familiar with the scent, but when I smelt the deodorant I must say that I really really liked the smell of it! It was a really light fresh scent, almost a tiny bit flowery! But don't let the flowery part put you off, it really is a nice refreshing scent.

So the main thing I wanted this product to do, was to stop me smelling, and to stop me sweating. So did it live up to its 24 hour claim? By the end of the day I smelt my armpits and I could still smell the slight scent of the cucumber and green tea. It definitely wasn't as strong as when I first had applied it, but I didn't smell of B.O. so it was all good!

So did it stop me sweating? Well on the days I didn't do much and I just hung around at home, then yes there was no sweat patches. But on some days when I had been on walks in the heat or had been running around all day, and if I was wearing tops that were tight to my armpits then I must admit there were sometimes small sweat patches.

So overall this product did stop me smelling, and sometimes it stopped me sweating but not all the time (and I don't consider myself to be a very sweaty person anyway). I think it makes a good deodorant but not the best antiperspirant. I think it is more of a 12 hour protection, rather then 24! I will still continue trying out different deodorants/antiperspirants. But if I wanted one on a bargain price, I would definitely buy this again, it is one of the nicest smelling deodorant/antiperspirants I have ever used, just wish it was a little bit better at the antiperspirant part!
