Advantages: lovely, smells nice, good price, no sting after shaving

Disadvantages: doesn't last as long as it says on the tin

I wear a lot of red due to my uniform at work and I noticed that my normal deodorant was leaving white marks on my shirts. I was going to buy a new deodorant but I happen to spot this on my mum's side of the cupboard of our bathroom goodies. The first words I saw on the can were 'Invisible Dry' and 'Anti White Marks'. Just what I needed so I decided to pinch it for the day and buy some of my own if I liked. So did I like it or did I find something else that was better?

...The Range...

Dove do lots of different products but in the Invisible Dry range there's three. There's the roll on, the stick and the spray. I have the spray.

...The price...

I've seen the price for the spray, stick and roll on ranging between £1.80 - £2.49. I try to buy mine in Bodycare as it always seems cheaper there but the price does vary in there too. Like everywhere, it depends on what offers they have on.

...Packaging...

At first glance, it looks very elegant. It's a creamy white with the word Dove and under that, written in purple, Invisible Dry, Anti White Marks, Anti-Perspirant Deodorant. Then it says 0% alcohol and 24h. The shape of the can makes it easy to grip.

...The Smell...

It's light and fresh like all Dove products seem to be. It's subtle and over the days, the fragrance does start disappeared but I wouldn't say that the Anti-Perspirant bit isn't working anymore.

...The promises...

Anti White Marks on any colours, it lasts 24 hours and moistures the skin. I agree with the anti white marks. When I sprayed it, I didn't have any of those nasty white marks that I had before especially with my red shirts and my going out tops that are usually black but the claim that it lasts for 24 hours is a bit farfetched. I would say that the fragrance lasts about 6 hours but it works upto 8-10 hours but that could depend on your body chemistry as everyone is different when it comes down to fragrances and body ordours. Also I tested when I went to the gym and then it doesn't last as long either so lifestyle (or if you sweat more than the average person) can make a difference.
The moisturising bit, well, I didn't feel any difference but it felt lovely on my skin when I sprayed it so maybe that's it.

...My thoughts...

Brilliant. Not a bad price and does the job. You can use this anytime and anywhere. Fair enough you have to re-apply it more than it says on the tin but I'm not bothered about that as long as I get rid of the white marks and it lasts about an eight hour shift at work. Also I found no problem in using it after I had shaved as there is no alcohol so painless spraying before I go out clubbing. I definitely recommend this product to anyone.

Summary: Great deodorant all around!
