Long- lasting protection and gentle care. 👍

The dove advance care deodorant line is characterized by combining antiperspirant protection with skin care, offering up to 72 hours of sweat and odor control, along with moisturizing ingredients such as Pro- ceramide technology that help repair skin after shaving. It is usually creamy and smooth. Is practical and functional, available in formats such as stick and spray, easy to use and carry.

Sorry to be harsh but it's definitely you

I never write reviews but this one can't be avoided. I've been using this deodorant for many years. Way, way back when it was cool melon. I had a difficult time finding a deodorant that really worked for me so I was very relieved when I finally found this one. Plus the scent (not the price) was great. However, I just opened a new container & the smell actually made me sick. I thought I'd gotten a bad product but after reading other reviews I guess not. I don't know who's bright idea it was to change from a scent I've gotten compliments on to this rancid perfumed baby powder mess but perhaps this isn't the job for them. I would suggest trash collector because if this new scent was able to pass inspection then real garbage will smell just as heavenly to them. There is nothing cool or essential about this product now. I will be on the hunt for a new deodorant by a different brand. Bye Dove.

Long lasting, but may cause irritation

This deodorant works really well and holds up even during hot summer days. The scent is clean and fresh but not overpowering and it applies smoothly. The only downside is that leaving it on for more than 8 hours causes me some itching and irritation on my underarms. Overall, an affordable and effective anti-perspirant option.

Formula change

I've used this deodorant for at least 10 years!!!! Recently it made me break out in a horrible rash. Why change the formula?!? If it ain't broke..... I now have to go on a search for a new deodorant.

Formula change is terrible

The new formula smells terrible. I thought it was a bad batch because it smells like bug spray. I am so disappointed that you changed ingredients. I have been using this for years and will now have to find a new brand.

Excelente producto⭐️

Its packaging is good, and with its formula that is like butter easy to use after each bath it lasts a long time and without making moisture in my armpits its storage is quite simple you can even take it in your wallet

So Disappointing

Getting on the bandwagon with all the haters! This new formula is terrible. I have been using Dove cook essentials for at least 15 years. Why do companies always have to mess with what's good. The new formula is greasy, and doesn't absorb, and it does not provide the same protection. So disappointing for a company that prides itself on caring for women. Perhaps another example of a company cutting costs so shareholders become richer? Back to the drawing board to find a new antiperspirant.

Ruined a good thing!

You guys at Dove done messed up a fantastic product! I don't even know how many years I've been using the cucumber cool essentials advanced care, but I recently restocked and been driving myself nuts all week wondering why I suddenly have BO for the first time in my life. I even washed my coat thinking it was making my sweaters stinky despite me rarely ever sweating in it. Did some research and come to find out about the formula change. Such a shame. Now I need to return the bundle I just got and hit the shops to find the old trusted and true formula. **note to those experiencing the same thing—- I think it's this new “Pro-ceramide technology”! Old one was “NutriumMoisture”. Dove, if you wanna jump on this ceramide beauty trend then fine. But make it a separate line for those who actually need it. Or just save it for a product where it's actually effective. The rest of us want the stuff that kept our pits fresh, not some tiny microdose of ‘ceramides' that likely doesn't make a difference anyway. Bring back the old the old stuff!

Terrible! Go back to solid stick for lease!!

This doesn't keep me dry at all compared to the old stick that did work for 24 hrs. This new version may work 30 minutes. Never been so smelly either!
