13 Best and Worst Deodorants

Addicting smell
Dove is my favorite line for deodorant. The one with the purple top is addicting because of the heavenly smell. It works great for keeping me smelling fresh and not having sweat. The added smell is just a bonus!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Great, but not the best!
I'm giving this antiperspirant a strong 8! It provides good enough protection in lower humidity, moisturizes the underarm area and has a soft fragrance that isn't overpowering at all. Where this antiperspirant lacks just a bit is in the amount of protection it offers. At around 15% it is much weaker than other options. This is perfect if you don't sweat excessively or for cooler months and low humidity.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

This is NOT one of the best
I was highly surprised when I saw that this Dove underarm stick was number four on the list of best deodorants. I have been using Dove deodorants since I was 13 and it has always been the same: I put on the deo - stick, twenty minutes later i can feel wetness under my arms. Dove's formula does smell nice, especially the cucumber. But I have always been highly disappointed with results. It does se...read moreem to stop too much smell from happening, but seems to actually create MORE sweat then if I had nothing on. Also, IT IS TERRIBLE ON CLOTHES! It sticks to sweaters and t shirts. Especially when you put them on over your head, you end up with white streak marks on your side. Dove also uses aluminum as their anti antiperspirant. Aluminum is a horrible agent which in recent studies, contribute to getting Alzheimer disease. I can not believe that every review has been over a 8. "Aluminum has been long known to be neurotoxic, with mounting evidence that chronic exposure is a factor in many neurological diseases, including dementia, autism, and Parkinson's disease. However, definitive scientific proof is difficult to establish due toth the lack of longitudinal studies, as well as pushback from industries that use aluminum in their products. Despite the shortage of conclusive studies, mounting scientific evidence really leaves little room for doubt. Case in point: a new case study from Keele University in the UK1 unequivocally shows high levels of aluminum in the brain of an individual exposed to aluminum at work, who later died from Alzheimer's disease. While aluminum exposure has been implicated in Alzheimer's and a number of other neurological diseases, this case claims to be "the first direct link" between Alzheimer's disease and elevated brain aluminum following occupational exposure. The Aluminum-Alzheimer's Link The 66 year-old Caucasian man developed an aggressive form of early onset Alzheimer's disease after eight years of occupational exposure to aluminum dust, which scientists conclude "suggests a prominent role for the olfactory system and lungs in the accumulation of aluminum in the brain." This is not the first time high aluminum levels have been found in the tissues of someone who died from Alzheimer's disease. For example, in 2004, high aluminum levels were found in the tissues of a British woman who died of early-onset Alzheimer's. This was 16 years after an industrial accident dumped 20 metric tons of aluminum sulphate into her local drinking water. And there are many studies showing elevated aluminum levels in living individuals displaying a wide range of neurological symptoms"This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
