Dove Refillable Deodorant Starter Kit 0% Aluminum Cucumber & Green Tea Aluminum Free Deodorant 1.13 oz

I love that this is a metal container and that it is refillable. But HORRIBLE execution. The actual deodorant part broke off after 1 day of use. I tried shoving it back on, but it just falls off. It doesnt have support on the sides like a regular traditional kind, or even the Native deodorant. Very disappointed.

I really wanted to like this. I like the idea. But if you’ve ever broken your lipstick off the tube, expect the same thing to happen with this. The 2nd time I used it, the deodorant broke off of the holder, which means I have to hold the “gel stick” in my hands to apply it. Good idea. Bad execution.

Love the scent, formula, sleek metal container… product execution failed miserably. There is no option to roll product up and down with every use so by the second or third use, the whole product breaks off from its base. Hopefully they come up with a fix because it really is a great formula and idea!

After reading previous reviews of other users, I dont dare close the container completely for fear that the stick will break and become useless. I also hold the stick itself when I apply. So far so good. The container looks nice on the bathroom counter top, too bad I cant close it completely. The product works fine for normal, daily use. It did not work on a day I was very stressed and wearing polyester.

On the Yuka app this products ingredients are rated as hazardous. Mind you I expect this with most deodorants, but I was hopeful with the promise of zero aluminum. The deodorant stick does not stay on the insert. It falls off so between it being harmful and ineffective I rate this -10

I was excited to find this refillable Dove container. The scent is terrific, and I like the aluminum-free formula of the antiperspirant itself. I also like the minimalization of waste. The only downside (and its a pretty significant one) is that the actual stick deodorant breaks off at the base. There isnt a sleeve for the stick to fit in and use as a guide and a sort of walled reinforcement. A bit of a design flaw, I would say. The stick just breaks off and I have to hold the antiperspirant with my hand to apply it. I will use up the two refills I bought with my initial order, and will likely go back to the traditional roll up stick style when this runs out.

I’ve been looking forever for a deodorant with BOTH environmentally responsible packaging AND socially acceptable body odor control that won’t leave me either wanting to die at the audacity of my own pit odor or sincerely alarmed at the virulence of the rising pit rash at the end of each day, and thought I had FINALLY found the holy grail in this product from a brand that has otherwise always been reliable for me. Alas, no. On second use, deodorant completely sheared off the insert platform and went skittering under the sink of my hotel bathroom, picking up every single speck of grit, wisp of pubic hair and errant toenail clipping that it encountered along the way. I had to fish it out from under the cabinet, scrape off about half the product and then use my bare hands to mash what was left back down onto the insert, only to have it break off again the minute I tried to re-apply. After retrieving again, scraping off the gross parts for a second time only to fail AGAIN, I ended up just breaking off a chunk with my hand and just kind of attempting to smear it into my armpit- a no for me, thanks. A great idea from a usually reliable brand, but, unfortunately, until they get the usability right, I won’t be putting myself through that again.

I was so excited for the concept of this deodorant because it was aluminum free and cuts out a majority of the plastic. The packaging could have definitely been sustainable, it did not need to be packaged like it was a new iPhone. But most importantly, the lid won’t stay on as it doesn’t click onto the bottom, and the actual deodorant stick is super super fragile! As you take the lid off you are bound to gouge into the sides of it. However, after first use, just typical application, the whole stick broke off and fell in the floor!! Now, I will be throwing away almost a brand new, durably made, product, which is the exact opposite of the purpose of this deodorant! Buy paper tube deodorant if you are doing it for that aspect, if you like the aluminum free, I would just buy it in the plastic tube, it’s cheaper and won’t crumble into your hands.

**no fault to the seller they packaged it perfect and shipped fast** Most important fact. It breaks off at the plastic piece that inserts into the base. Without support (like the twist up ones) you have to be extremely careful. **EXTREMELY** careful, AT THE RIGHT ANGLE. Because ANY stress (Ex: The quick swipe up while applying because your headed to work and you almost forget to put on deodorant) and the ENTIRE THING FALLS OFF AND TUMBLES OUT FROM U DER YOUR SHIRT LEAVING A STAIN OF MOIST DEODORANT AS IT SLIDES DOWN YOUR WORK PANTS. AAAAND now youre definitely late because you have to change.) It breaks. Scent is omg amazing tho.

In my opinion, it doesnt smell great but thats ok, can try another scent. However, the deodorant itself needs to be attached better - the entire block fell off the 2nd time I used it. Cute design but function is more important than form.
