Dove Go Fresh Antiperspirant Revive

Hello, nonexistent readers!

So I decided that if I am going to write about Adore's products, I might as well just write about everything else I use. Because, I mean, why not?

Let's hop to it.

I have used this one stick of deodorant for about two-ish years. I have to say deodorant lasts forever for me. I use it every day but it takes me forever to finish a measly 2.6 ounces. The "Revive" part refers to the pomegranate and lemon verbena scent, although there are absolutely no reviving powers to it. "Long lasting freshness"? Not really.

I personally have a strong body odor. I don't sweat excessively but I sweat, especially when I'm working out. In the beginning of the day when I first put this antiperspirant on, it smells nice. I feel great, the world is great. Things are just great. However, throughout the day, probably about 6 hours later, the smell is not so great. Don't get me wrong, the lovely pomegranate and lemon verbena is there, lingering somewhere, but right alongside it like two best buddies is my natural body odor. The two of them hanging out in my underarms; one whiff and woooweee! Definitely attractive. Good thing my boyfriend is beyond kind enough to not say anything about it until I pressured him into telling me the truth. The fragrance lasts but it does not mask.

Secondly, it gets extremely itchy after 12 hours. The deodorant itself isn't sticky, nor is it chalky. It goes on white but fades to clear within a few hours. It is easy to wash off, but for some weird reason, my pits just feel crazy itchy if I don't wash them after a full day at Disneyland.

Third, this deodorant does not last 48 hours. I've gone 24 hours without showering a few times (hey, sometimes homework is more important than sleeping and showering) and definitely got to say that I did not wake up feeling so spiffy. The scent was kind of there, almost at the brink of not being there at all, but the B.O. is all too overpowering.

So, I have about a quarter of a stick to go. I don't like to waste so I intend to use it up. I will probably never buy this scent ever again because my pits and my nose aren't "reviving" while using it. I did, however, do some research and found that the cucumber and green tea scent does wonders. I already know what it smells like because I also have the Dove body wash with the same exact scent, so I have high hopes for this working for me. I purchased it at Target in the clearance shelf for $3.38. It also came with a .5 ounce sample of Dove's Advanced Care to I guess moisturize my underarms, although the sweat kind of already takes care of that. I will just use that as a travel deodorant. When I get to using the cucumber and green tea one, I will post a review!

Much love to y'all.
