I'm currently using a worst deoderant. Will have to try some of the bests--I've been looking for alternatives and the Kiehls looks great!

I love this site! Great new beauty tips & buys every day. It's like a Consumer Reports for beauty & health.

I have to agree with the best of reviews on the Avon On Duty and The Secret original deodorant. I am a pyrotechnician and spend alot of time around July 4th outdoors in tank tops sweating to death. Those 2 have never let me down! I am suprised that Dove didnt make the best of list anywhere as well though. They have nice clean scents that dont overpower as well as great odor and sweat protection. I recently started using the Dove that is supposed to condition your underarms and help you shave less and get rid of discoloraton, will write a review sometime if I see any results from it!

My daughter always has a yellow stain on her white teeshirts. It is impossible to wash out. She doesn't sweat much, or smell, but it always leaves a yellow stain. She has tried several deodurants, what should she do?

I don't spend $22 dollars on deodorant

I like Dove, personally.

Donna Karan deodorant. Smells great and keeps you fresh ALL DAY! I am a profuse sweater and it works in the heat and humidity of Southern Illinois like a charm.
