Advantages: Smells nice, not expensive

Disadvantages: Does let a bit of sweat come through

I purchased Dove Original Anti-perspirant Deodorant Roll-on when I saw it on sale for just £1 a bottle. I found this to be an excellent deal and as I usually do like Dove products, particularly their body wash and lotions, I thought this would be a good product. I was right about that.

I have had problems in the past with deodorants that are too strong for my skin. Some that work extremely well actually work too well for me and I have found myself with dry and itchy armpits on a few occasions - very embarassing when I find I can't stop myself and have to scratch under my arms like a monkey does just to relieve the itching!

So I was a bit hesitant at first to try this product. However, I needn't have worried. This product is very light and although it does work, it doesn't over do it. Also it contains 0% alchohol which probably helps avoid allergic reactions.

This product goes on quite wet but does dry fairly quickly. I haven't had any problems with it staining my clothes when I put them on right after applying this. The scent is pleasant and quite like talcum powder but not very strong.

This product claims to work 24h but I don't think that is true. I usually shower in the evening and apply this, then wake up in the morning and am a tiny bit smelly I have to admit, so I then wash my underarms and reapply. So it does work, but it doesn't completely avoid you from getting a bit smelly if you sweat. I don't find this lasts through a workout, however.

You can generally find this on sale for £1 and when you do, stock up. This product is particularly effective for those with sensitive skin who don't sweat much.

Summary: Good for dry sensitive skin
