Dove Refillable Deodorant Starter Kit 0% Aluminum Cucumber & Green Tea Aluminum Free Deodorant 1.13 oz

I love this product and the sustainability element it focuses on. But the fact is the deodorant refills are fragile. And small harsh push and they snap off the holder and they cannot be reattached. I’ve gone through three since ordering only a month or so ago

I like the scent , I like the feel of the deodorant, I love Dove! But this product is a dud . I bought 3 of the kits and gave 2 of them as Christmas presents to my sisters. I kept 1 for myself and I’m not happy with it . The deodorant stick broke in just 2 weeks after use . I complained to customer service and they replaced the stick with 2 , both of which also broke. I bought another kit at a reduced rate , thank goodness , and I’m going to see if perhaps I just got a defective base . More later .

The idea of a smaller more travel size deodorant is wonderful and the case is just too cute. However, on first use the deodorant broke and fell to the floor. So, be very gentle with this item if you need it to last.

The product didn’t even last two weeks without the deodorant part breaking. Ended up buying my usual. Waste of money.

Great idea, terrible execution! This deodorant is supposed to be refillable, but the design is flawed. You attach a heavy and small brick of deodorant to a hollow base so its top heavy. Unlike a traditional deodorant that you roll up, all of the deodorant is exposed. The deodorant broke off the dispenser on my second use. It also felt like I got a lot less deodorant than a traditional dove cool and fresh dispenser. A lot better design before Ill consider buying again.

Its definitely aluminum free. I forgot that when you switch to aluminum free that theres 4-6 weeks of funk under the arms until the pores that were blocked by the aluminum are clean and clear. It was a smell I was unprepared for. I realize this is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant, and with that in mind, it did exactly as it should have. If you dont want to sweat so much, its not for you. Aluminum Free is great. It shows how much everyone sweats when their pores arent clogged by years of aluminum use. The stick feels great against the skin, and is silky soft. However, I did have to buy an aluminum antiperspirant. When I can hide away from other people for 2 months, Ill switch to aluminum free. Showering twice, and washing my underarms 6+ times a day just to make myself feel kind of clean doesnt work for me right now. The stick didnt break for me, and the base seemed fine. The container was wonderful. It was beautifully crafted, and very sleek. The only problem I had was that the lid didnt snap shut after the first time. It popped back up just enough that it fell off in my purse. I still wouldve bought a refill, when I switched back to Dove aluminum antiperspirants, if there had been an aluminum option. It seems like a waste that the product with the least amount of plastic comes in aluminum free only.

I was hesitant to buy this because of the poor reviews. Many reviews said it broke easily or that the Deodorant didnt stay in place. However, I have had no issues since I bought it. The scent is also not bad, my only critique would be for the stick to be powder not what it is (Im not even sure what to call it) because it takes long to dry. It also makes your pits feel a little sticky after a while. I do have to reapply but I use wipes to take off previous skin application. Its small, convenient, and cute. I will be buying replacement sticks as I am almost done using the current one. Also, buy it on Amazon. Others stores jack up prices so much its ridiculous.
