Why: "Because it is a clear liquid, I thought [it] would be perfect for summer — no more white marks on my clothes!" says one reader. "Wrong. It's a clear liquid when it goes on, but when it dries there's still a bit of white to it." Another reader adds, "It just feels oddly wet … and there is a bit of a smell to it."
Why: One reader laments that using this deodorant is "almost worse than not using deodorant at all." Another reviewer says, "I find myself reapplying four times a day and I've never had to reapply deodorant before."
