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

The deodorant smells good but it doesn’t work all day.

I was so excited for the concept of this deodorant because it was aluminum free and cuts out a majority of the plastic. The packaging could have definitely been sustainable, it did not need to be packaged like it was a new iPhone. But most importantly, the lid won’t stay on as it doesn’t click onto the bottom, and the actual deodorant stick is super super fragile! As you take the lid off you are bound to gouge into the sides of it. However, after first use, just typical application, the whole stick broke off and fell in the floor!! Now, I will be throwing away almost a brand new, durably made, product, which is the exact opposite of the purpose of this deodorant! Buy paper tube deodorant if you are doing it for that aspect, if you like the aluminum free, I would just buy it in the plastic tube, it’s cheaper and won’t crumble into your hands.

I wanted to love this item but it still needs some work shopping. After about 5 uses the stick fell right off the base. I love that a deodorant I love and I know will keep me smelling clean (unlike other ecofriendly deodorants) has an eco-friendly option but while they work out the bugs in design I will have to use another product.

I purchased this product because I liked the regular style with the turn / click base, but really liked the environmentally conscious refill aspects of this one, so I purchased it to try it out. First try, I put it together which was super easy, and then attempted to apply it to my armpits. The stick broke off of the holder, right at the base. It was a clean break, so I couldnt try popping it back in. There isnt a tube for it, so I would have to hold the actual deodorant to apply it without the holder. Messy fingers, no thanks. Great idea, but poor design. I tried to salvage it by sticking it in my old click/turn deodorant. Doesnt have the same shape, so that didnt work either.

Would not recommend this product to anyone, ordered 2 and they have both broke.

I’ve used the original aluminum formula for years that works great but has caused me irritation. So I tried this 0% formula and it only lasts a few hours. Plus, the stick started coming off the base and I was extra gentle in applying because of other reviews saying it falls off. Needs LOTS of improvements.

Just what I was afraid of, after about a month, the deodorant stick broke off the mount at the join. Now it is completely useless unless I want to hold it in my hand. I do not. I would include a picture, but I have already thrown it out.

I took this with me on a short trip. I noticed how there wasnt any protection along the shaft of the refill, so I was very careful and used very little pressure. It still snapped off, broke, and fell to the ground the very first time I used it. It kept falling every time Id try to apply deodorant until the shape could no longer be wedged into the base disk. I had to just smear it all over my underarms. I threw it away as soon as I was ready to check out of my hotel. What a waste. I use this deodorant regularly and it performs well, and the original packaging is perfect! This travel/refill nonsense just needs to be discontinued immediately.

The deodorant was fine. But the container was horrible. This was bought for traveling. Wont work because the lid wont stay on. I threw it away and will buy the regular

The deodorant stick popped off the base after the 3rd use and now its basically glorified garbage. Not sure what I was thinking when I bought this.
