Advantages: Smell and price

Disadvantages: Not for vigorous exercise without reapplication

*Introduction*

Imagine my annoyance when I am in Tesco to buy my usual and favourite deodorant and there is an out of stock sign where it is usually stocked. This left me with the dilemma of which deodorant to buy. I stood in the aisle looking for one which had a unique selling point but they all pretty much looked the same. The only one that really stood out was a bright red aerosol can. So yes, this was the deciding factor of which deodorant I bought... the colour of the can. See, packaging is important!

*The Claim*

Dove Pro Age Anti-Perspirant Deodorant claims to provide all day protection with the extra care your underarm need right now.

*About Dove Pro Age Anti-Perspirant Deodorant*

This deodorant will give you 24 hour protection whilst also taking care of your underarm skin. Dove Pro Age contains ¼ moisturising cream to maintain your skins resilience and help to keep it in optimal condition. When using this deodorant you can expect to be kept fresh and dry all day.

*Application*

You use this deodorant pretty much the same way that you would other. Shake the can well. This stops you from getting those horrible white marks that appear on your clothes if you spray the can without having done this. Then spray the can when you are holding the can 15 cm away from your underarm.

As with most deodorants it is very important that you do not apply this deodorant to broken skin. This will hurt if you do!

*Price and Availability*

Dove Pro Age Anti-Perspirant Deodorant is widely available to buy places like Superdrug, Wilkinsons and Boots. You can also buy it from supermarkets like Tesco, Sainsbury and Asda. If you are somebody who prefers to buy things online, you can buy it from www.boots.com.

You can buy this deodorant for just £1.95 which is a fair bit cheaper that a lot of deodorants that are available to buy. And as it is a very effective deodorant, I would be willing to pay more than that anyway.

If you are not a fan of spray deodorants then you will be pleased to know that Dove Pro Age Anti Perspirant Deodorant is also available to buy in a roll on form. That way you won't miss out on this fantastic formula although I haven't tried it in the roll on form so I can't tell you whether or not it is as good as the spray.

*My Opinion*

The packaging: This deodorant is a 150ml aerosol can that is a shimmering red colour. I am sad enough for this colour to have enticed me into the purchase. Well, it goes nicely with my Arsenal themed room. The lid of this aerosol is round and it slides on and off of the can easily. It is one of the only deodorants that manages to keep its lid with me because I generally loose them where they do. The button that you press to release the deodorant impressed me significantly. This is because it has a piece of rubber that covering the plastic. This takes away any pain that you can sometimes get when you put too much pressure on your finger. This makes the motion easier and smoother.

The smell: This deodorant has a very fresh scent about it although it is quite light and certainly not overpowering in any way. You can tell that it is a Dove product with their trade mark smell. The deodorant smells pretty much the same as its soap. It leaves you feeling confident and comfortable all day leaving you free of worrying about your body odour.

Does it sting? No, not in the slightest. In fact, I would go so far as to say it is one of the smoothest deodorants that I have had the pleasure of using. This is probably due to its moisturising qualities.

Does it last 24 hours? In my experience, this deodorant is very long lasting. Although if you are participating in rigorous exercise, a second spray of the deodorant would be a necessity otherwise I think you might smell a little. And we don't want that do we?

Does it protect you with the extra care your underarm needs? I definitely think that this deodorant leaves my armpit feeling softer that other types that I have used. I have also found that since using Dove Pro Age, any spots that I used to get in the past under my arms have stopped. I presume this is down to the use of this product.

What about the white marks that you get with some deodorants? Whilst I have been using this deodorant, not a single white mark has been found on any of my clothing. So worrying about this problem is not an issue with this deodorant.

Longevity of the product: This deodorant will last you around just over a month depending on how often you spray is and for how long. I use an average amount once and a day this is how long it lasts me.

*Would I Recommend This Product?*

Dove Pro Age Anti-Perspirant Deodorant is a great product. I'm now pleased that my regular deodorant was unavailable to buy as it forced me out of my comfort zone with regards to deodorants and into trying something new. It is complete value for money as it not only works as a deodorant but also as a moisturiser as well. It gets my seal of approval that is for sure.

*Overall*

I was very impressed with Dove Pro Age Anti Perspirant Deodorant. I wasn't too sure whether I would like it as it wasn't a planned purchase of mine and considering I decided that I wanted it because of the colour of the packaging I shouldn't really have expected too much but it fulfilled all of my expectations. I was kept dry and clean all day long which is what is most important when it comes to a deodorant.

Summary: A great deodorant that keeps you fresh and dry
