DoveDeodorant Refills Refill Kit 0 Aluminum Coconut + Pink Jasmine Aluminum Free Deodorant oz, 1.13 Ounce

I typically love Dove products & have used their Advanced Care invisible solid for years & years. I was intrigued at the chance of a refillable option & got this as soon as I saw it. Upon 1st look, it's a beautifully packaged product... it's a sleek design that's compact (should've been great for travel) with a heavy stainless steel base that gives a sturdy feel. That heaviness, however, soon becomes it's downfall. For some reason, the sleekness combined with the heavy compact design makes it hard to stay in your hand & not drop it. On top of that, the actual deoderant bar has no protection once you take the cap off, so it's prone to break right off, which happened to me the 1st time I used it. I thought maybe it was just a defected item, so I ordered a replacement (thank God for Amazon's easy return process!). But it wasn't til then that I checked the reviews & saw that sooooo many others were experiencing the same thing with their bar breaking right off at the base. I know they're trying to save on packaging, but without some kind of protected push-pop design, this is really poorly thought through by the designers. To put the nail in the coffin, this aluminum-free formula is complete garbage! I could literally smell my natural body odor by the end of the day even though they claim 48-hour protection! I'll keep my aluminum formula, please and thanks!

I had a Double Mastectomy for Breast Cancer in June of 2023 and I wanted to get away from aluminum in my antiperspirant so I switched to this. I've been very happy with it. Granted it's deodorant not antiperspirant - but it's fine. I don't sweat much at my age - (or during these recovery months).I particularly like the holder is metal and refillable. Less plastic waste? That's great. I wish they could package the refill with less plastic too - but it goes right in recycling.I get to use the same scent I've loved for years and nothing to worry about getting into my healing incisions. (Use common sense if you're healing). Love it!

I would give this product 0 stars if I could. I bought this for a month long vacation to Australia/New Zealand. I followed all instructions to put the product together carefully, but the lid would not stay in place and keep falling off. Okay not big deal I put a rubber band around it to keep it in place. Then the first time I used it the hole thing fell apart. the deodorant part of the product just crumbled and fell off making the deodorant unusable. I had to just throw it all away. The window to return the item closed March 3rd! I did not return from our trip until March 6th.

This concept is great but the kid is heavy and doesn’t stay closed. The cap keeps coming off and then the deodorant part just keeps falling off.

This is my go to deodorant. I love the smell and the ability to travel with it in my purse. I went to a wedding and it was great because it was small enough for my clutch and it was very discreet. No one knew what it was when I pulled it out my bag looking for a mint, lol. The case is very durable. I've dropped it with no damage to the deodorant while changing the deodorant refill and super easy to wipe clean.On the OTHER side, I have broken two. The design of the deodorant in the plastic piece is awful, poor design, and very unstable. Once it breaks, the deodorant not the case, you can't really use it unless you want to use your hand as applicator. I've tried, it has a greasy feeling on your hands. It has the same feeling to your hands if you put too much chapstick or lipgloss on your fingers. NO WEIRD feel on your arm pits unless you apply to much. Very light deodorant for your arm pits. I want to try to mens to see if it was the same.NOT FOR ACTIVE/SPORT NEEDS. If you get warm easily or doing any activity besides standing still or sitting, it needs to be reapplied several times with activity.Overall, nice if you don't do much activity, very lightheaded with putting on deodorant, or just need something to travel with.

I was concerned from the reviews that the cap would fall off and that the product would break off the base but neither has happened. The cap is nice and secure and the deodorant is robust. Keep in mind that you cannot press too hard given that the product is not encased in plastic, but that's a small price to pay. The case is modern and looks good on the bathroom shelf, while the product itself is effective. nice for travel too. I'm so glad not to be disposing of plastic and i hope Dove keeps the product line. i'll stick up on refills just in case!

The deodorant stick broke off the base and the plastic inside the chrome piece that holds the deodorant fell out. I have used this less than a week now it is completely useless. The deodorant itself smells really good and I really liked it but the design is absolute garbage.
