Formula change

I have been using this deodorant for years and I have always loved it! Unfortunately they recently changed the formula and it no longer gives me all day antiperspirant and deodorant coverage. I find I have to reapply mid-day due to odor. I really hope they change it back. I really don't want to have to change from the deodorant that has always worked for me.

The smell is horrible

The old formula was the only antiperspirant that I could use that always worked, didn't bother my skin, and NEVER made my migraines worse. Why was it changed? The new formula is awful in every way. The smell is so off putting and so strong. It went from a light crisp scent to a strong scent that makes me think of mothballs. I can't understand how someone thought it could still be labeled as cucumber, when the smell is nothing like the previous scent and nothing like any other cucumber scent I've ever smelled. I am beyond frustrated by how such a perfect product now become unusable to me. For how expensive it is as deodorant, it should have carried a LARGE warning that the scent had changed, so people might have known to not waste their money.

New scent is awful

I honestly thought I purchased a bad batch and went and bought a new 2 pack. So now I have 4 tubes that I have to toss because this new scent gives me a headache. PLEASE go back the the scent I've used for 15 years at this point. Now I need to search for a new deodorant.

Smells terrible

Had been using this product for over 15 years because I loved the smell and how well it worked. To my surprise when I used a new stick I purchased recently in a 2-pack, they decided to change the formula. It now has a horrible smell that I can't stand! The packaging says nothing about a change. Please go back to the old formula! Going to have to find another deodorant now and throw these 2 sticks out!

New formula is Awful!

I hate the new 72 hour formula. The scent is way too strong and it doesn't keep you dry. The 48 hour version was great. I have used the Advanced Care tea and cucumber for many years and that it went on smoothly, it had a nice clean scent and kept you dry all day. This new formula seriously doesn't keep you dry and I don't even sweat that much. Why did you feel the need to change it? You are going to loose a lot of customers for this product because the new formula just doesn't do its job!

PLEASE GO BACK!!!

Please please PLEASE!!! Go back to the original formula! :( I've been using this deodorant since high school (11-12 years now!) and it has been my absolute favorite deodorant that not only smelled good, but it worked for the amount of hours stated! Not it smells weirdly powdery and doesn't even last 12 hrs! Why change what was already amazing?? :( please go back!!

BRING BACK OLD FORMULA

I had been using the Dove “Go Fresh” Cool Essentials deodorant for probably 10 years when it was discontinued and replaced with this “Advanced Care” product. The new product doesn't work, I end up smelling terrible in a very short period of time and the scent is completely different as well. Please bring back the old deodorant, non-advanced version.

New smell is no good

This has been my go to antiperspirant for years. But I guess it has been reformulated recently. The new stick I just bought has a very strong fragrance and it is very unpleasant to use. Smells completely different now, like an old-fashioned, powdery smell. I can no longer use this product. Such a shame! I hope Dove is able to get it smelling like it used to again.

it covers all bases for fresh fragrance

It's smooth in application and has a clean fresh scent. The contour of the product fits the hand nicely. I always feel super protected from wetness and odor . It is the most satisfactory product and I always have assurance it's going to do exactly what is supposed to do. When I toss it in my bag for travel there's no doubt "i'm good to go" Thanks Dove!

New fragrance formula

I took a while to find a deodorant that worked well for me that does not smell like baby powder. This product was perfect and what I have been using for years. With my most recent purchase, I found that the fragrance is different. It now has the baby powder smell that I hate. I will now have to search for a different product.
