I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Dove. I received a product sample and promotional item to thank me for my participation.
I mentioned about a week and a half ago that I had decided to try Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant. It claims to provide 48 hour odor and wetness protection while also softening your underarm skin. I’m lucky in that most deodorants work fine for me in regards to odor and wetness, but I had noticed that my underarm skin wasn’t as soft as the rest of my body. I was eager to see how Dove Advanced Care would treat my skin.
From the first time I tried Dove Advanced Care Deodorant, I loved it. After a single use I had no idea if it would soften my underarm skin which was my biggest goal starting out, so I was surprised that I loved it for other reasons. I noticed a big difference in the texture of the stick when I applied it. It wasn’t dry or “chalky” like most stick deodorants are when applied. There wasn’t a build up of clustered residue like I get from most stick deodorants. It went on really smoothly without feeling greasy or oily at all. It went on extremely smoothly and just blended right in with my skin. It smelled nice on the stick, but I was excited to find that it smells good on me too. I don’t consider myself a scent snob, but I don’t like when I can tell that the scent of a product changed as a result of being on my body. With most deodorants, they smell great in the stick but once on me they change and that bothers me. With Dove Advanced Care Deodorant, it smelled the same to me when I sniffed it after several hours of wear.

I’ve now been using Dove Advanced Care Deodorant for about a week and a half. I haven’t had any problems with white marks on my clothing so far. I also feel like my underarm skin has softened a little bit. I shower daily so I haven’t tested the full 48 hour claim, but it does great for at least 24 hours for me. The suggested retail price is $4.99 and it can be found at a wide range of mass, food and drug retailers worldwide. I am really pleased with this deodorant all the way around. I can’t think of a single way that I would try to improve it.
