Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant Deodorant Stick for Women Original Clean, 2.6 oz

For two decades, this was my go-to. The clean scent wasn't overpowering and the product was long-lasting. This last batch I bought, which I'm now learning isn't just a "batch" - rather a changed product, stinks like the chemicals are trying too hard to smell like the original and just comes off as awful. It says "48 hour" protection, but in reality I'm lucky if it lasts 8. I could see maybe 24 hours with the old product, but this is just laughable in terms of lasting power. The packaging says one thing, but the product doesn't live up to it; it is definitely not an improvement. Please change it back!!

I am a long term Dove deodorant user of the original clean scent. I used the regular base formula for years until Dove changed the formula in 2023. Then I switched to advanced care because the base formula no longer worked as an antiperspirant. I've been using the advanced care product since then. I noticed in the last several purchases that the scent has been changed. There is no notification on the packaging of a formula change either. Initially, I thought I just got a bad batch, but the change has persisted. The new scent is so strong that I had to wash my armpits and could still smell it all day. Yuck. I now have to look for a new deodorant which is so disappointing as I loved the previous scent. If you go back to the old scent, I hope you will advertise it because I will switch back, but I cannot tolerate the new scent. It's terrible.

I've used Dove Original Clean for many years. When I opened my latest purchase I immediately noticed the fragrance was different and the color was different. After using it, I had an allergic reaction. I looked at the label and saw that the formula had changed. It now contains Limonene, a citrus derivative. I am allergic to citrus. There was no indication on the package that the formula had been changed. I'm forced to say goodbye to Dove because it appears that now ALL your deodorant products contain Limonene. A notification on the package of a formula change should be mandatory.

I've been using this product for years. I hate strong scents and would prefer something completely unscented, but this product has been a great, subtle-y scented deodorant that works pretty well as an antiperspirant for me, too. A few months ago, they changed the formula somehow, and the scent is overpoweringly strong. Plus, the smell isn't even the same scent it used to be. In addition, I feel this product does not provide the same antiperspirant power it used to. I hope they go back to the original or re-vamp it with a stronger anti perspirant and a less noticeable scent.

Keeps me nice n fresh !
