13 Best and Worst Deodorants
Editor's Rating & Review
I looked down at my black tank top after putting this on and sure enough ... white deodorant marks, albeit faint. (They should call this "Barely Visible.") I do like that this super-soft, gentle stick doesn't irritate my armpits. It even soothes and moisturizes post-shave. Over-application can ball up -- very unflattering. Bad aim when replacing the cap can make the container messy. Those who sweat a lot may not find it effective enough, but one swipe lasts all day for most.

Ditch the Dove Deodorant
I wrote in another review that there were a few things which were grilled into me in modeling school: 1) In general, liquid antiperspirants/deodorants are much more effective than solids; 2) Switch deodorants occasionally, as your body becomes accustomed to one formula and thus it grows less effective; and 3) Never apply an antiperspirant or deodorant after shaving. I don't sweat greatly, so I b...read moreroke two of these "rules." Dove, in general, makes reliable, sweet-smelling products. I thought a solid might be a nice switch to my routine. This did NOTHING for me. I liked the scent upon application, but there were the dreaded white marks on my clothing after use. It is not "invisible," as Dove claims. When I smelled a not-so-pleasant scent around lunchtime, I realized that it was--gasp!--me! I washed furiously in the ladies' room. I was sweating as well and the weather wasn't particularly warm. I went back to my tried-and-true Certain Dri clear liquid. I alternate that with Mitchum's unscented liquid, and I have no perspiration, no odor, and no marks on clothing. What was I thinking, anyhow?This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Low expectations, but better than the usual stuff.
I'm not really a sweaty person by nature, so what kind of deodorant I use isn't that important to me-- I usually just buy the cheapest thing available. However, this was on sale so I tried it. I can't say that I'm impressed, but I honestly don't know what it would take for a deodorant to impress me. The smell is rather nondescript, but not unpleasant, it seems to do a good job of keeping me dry, a...read morend I haven't noticed it rubbing off on my clothes. It does seem to have a soothing effect on the skin as well. All in all, I would say that it's fine. If it were less expensive, I would probably be more inclined to buy it over another brand. It would've been nice to have more choices of the scent, though.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful
