~*WHY DID I BUY?*~
I do like Dove products, have done for a while. Can't quite put my finger on exactly why I felt drawn to purchasing Dove Deodorant Sensitive in the first place but I never regretted it! I guess the advertising blurb about "¼ moisturising cream" got to me and I thought "That sounds like it would be nice and gentle on my skin…".
I remember years ago, when I first started shaving under my arms, an older friend said to me that it's best to avoid using deodorants for about 24 hours after you've shaved as it would sting and could leave a rash. Back then (well over 20 years ago) deodorants weren't, I suppose, as technically advanced as they are nowadays. Anyway I heeded that well-meaning advice for quite a few years and as I'm one of those lucky people who don't sweat very much it was never an issue for me. I didn't have to worry about sweaty pit (sorry for sounding gross) smell coming from my person! In the last few years the summers in the UK (or London anyway) seem to have been getting hotter and longer and it's important to have a deodorant that really keeps your underarms sweat-free and B.O.-less.
This cool stick has protected me throughout the hottest stickiest days of this summer when I felt like I was going to melt in our un-air-conditioned (sorry if that's not really a word) office but I never worried about being smelly - and believe you me, there were others who did pong a bit, but nice ole me, I did my good deed for society (and for others' noses) I recommended Dove Deodorant to them (in a roundabout kind of way)!
~*DOES IT STING?*~
Dove Deodorant Sensitive is the first deodorant that I've found that I can apply directly to my armpits after shaving and it doesn't sting! What a find! I was truly amazed at how nicely this well-shaped little stick of deodorant fits into the curve of my armpit and how just one swipe under each armpit works wonderfully well for me and give ALL DAY protection. I've not once worried about how my armpits smell (or should I say, don't smell) when using this wonderful creation! I would definitely agree that it's good for sensitive skin as anything that goes on straight after shaving and doesn't sting is a miracle product as far as I'm concerned.
~*DOES IT PONG?*~
This magical stick deodorant doesn't have any smell/scent/aroma that I could tell. Most deodorants leave at least some sign smell-wise. But this one really is scent-free. So people won't even know you're wearing deodorant, they'll think you just smell fresh naturally!
~*DOES IT LEAVE A CALLING CARD?*~
By this question I mean does it leave tell-tale powdery marks on your clothes? Well, not in my experience! I would add that I only use one swipe under each armpit but if you swipe it more than a couple of times it does tend to leave some residue on your skin, which can henceforth be transferred to your clothes. But why would you want to swipe it more than once if once is all that is required to do the job it's paid for?
~*TECHNICAL STUFF*~
Not really technical stuff - as I'm not going to give you the ingredients list… Although I would say that it contains alcohol for those that are allergic. Funny though, I thought it was the alcohol that was supposed to make these things sting and it doesn't so maybe it's a very small quantity...
I bought my 40ml stick for just under £2 at my local Boots and found it online at auravita.com for £2.09.
The stick is about 5 inches tall, about 2 inches wide and 1 inch at it's thickest. It fits nicely into the palm of your hand so you can get a good grip. I always leave the twist off lid on its side when using the stick as it doesn't stand up alone.
~*WOULD I BUY IT AGAIN?*~
Well 100% absolutely most definitely is the answer to that one. Out of 10 I'd give it 10 as:
a) it's scent-free
b) it doesn't sting
c) it dries quickly without drying your skin
d) leaves no tell-tale signs on your clothes
e) last for ages as you only need to swipe it once
f) is pretty good value for money!
What more could you want from a deodorant stick?
Summary: Discreet deodorant which leaves no tell tale signs
