Dove Ultimate Clear Deodorant

Average member rating of 7.0
Average member rating
Rated a 5.5
The only thing that's ultimately clear about this anti-perspirant is that it's not. Clear, that is. This wouldn't be such a big deal if the product didn't claim to be a "revolutionary new formula" that doesn't leave white marks on clothes. (It does.) It is moisturizing, and seemed to ease razor burn, but it failed miserably in two departments: streaking and controlling sweat. It's an average deodorant, certainly not up to the strength of top contenders like Lady Mitchum.

April 12, 2008, 6:04 pm First of all I sweat ALOT..I was really excited to try this product..I actually tried the "cool esentials" type and OMG!Its smelt amazing so that the first I check for..Number 2...The main thing it says it does "goes on clear". Well what do ya know goes on clear..No white marks..From here all the rest is a downfall..It took forever to dry and I sweated so much espiecially as I live in the Caribbean and its hot and plus I sweat alot..I was so embarassed I had to keep my hands down all the time and I felt so wet and sticky..I had HUGE circles under my arms..Anyways if youre not a heavy sweater I would recomend this but if you are stay FAR away from it because as if it made me sweat more than without deodorant on..

    Cool essentials

    I agree with the total beauty review in that this deodorant DOES leave white marks and could "anti-perspirize" better. However, it is the only deodorant that I've used that didn't make me get icky red bumps. The cucumber scent is a nice change of pace from other products I've tried - it's lightly scented and not... March 20, 2008, 8:51 am I agree with the total beauty review in that this deodorant DOES leave white marks and could "anti-perspirize" better. However, it is the only deodorant that I've used that didn't make me get icky red bumps. The cucumber scent is a nice change of pace from other products I've tried - it's lightly scented and not too sweet. I also noticed that it doesn't start to smell a ton stronger when I get hot, unlike other deodorants. It works pretty well, and I'm going to keep using it for now, but I wish it was a)less white-mark leaving and b)more wetness protecting March 20, 2008, 8:51 am

    Does the job

    by rajma420 (5 reviews)
    This product is GREAT for women and for MEN, too! Smells clean and fresh all day, and does NOT ruin my clothes like some other "invisible" solids. (If it's happened to you, you know what I mean!)

Smells clean and fresh all day, and does NOT ruin my clothes like some other "invisible" solids. (If it's happened to you, you know what I mean!) My boyfriend is a hard working, macho kinda guy who could not for the life of him find an anti-perspirant/deodorant that could keep him from stinking by the end of a regular work day. He tried all of the manly smelling products, but nothing would work. Out of desperation, he tried my Dove Ultimate Clear, and dig this: he is now a "Cool Essentials Dude" who still smells great when he gets home at night! May 3, 2008, 1:01 pm

    Dove Ultimate Clear Deoderant

    by vanna03 (7 reviews)
    I have tried just about every deoderant and Dove Ultimate Clear Deoderant is the only deoderant I have found that offers odor protection as well as streak-free protection.

April 23, 2008, 11:17 am I have tried just about every deoderant and Dove Ultimate Clear Deoderant is the only deoderant I have found that offers odor protection as well as streak-free protection. I wear a lot of black so it was hard finding a deoderant that didn't leave white marks under my arms. I was constantly checking my shirt to make sure there was no white. The trick to it is you have to let it dry for a couple of minutes before throwing on a top. It may not last all day long, but what does? Dove Ultimate Clear is the total package. It says it all in the name: Dove ULTIMATE CLEAR Deoderant. Most women think that if the deoderant is expensive it must work. They are wrong. For the low price of Dove Ultimate Clear Deoderant you are getting a lot for your money. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone if I didn't feel that it works. I know a lot of women hate deoderant just because it gets their clothes, but now you don't have to hate it. Try Dove Ultimate Clear Deoderant and be worry free just like me! April 23, 2008, 11:17 am

February 22, 2008, 4:10 pm i've been using this deodorant for years and i love it! it keeps me fresh and dry all day and no white marks on my clothes. fantastic! you do have to give it few minutes to let it dry before putting on your shirt to avoid the marks, though. i found that out the hard way one of the first times i used it. but this is the only deoderant i use, and will keep using. i live in the new mexico desert and it gets HOT here. i never have to worry whether or not my deoderant is working, because it does, no matter how much i sweat.

    by Eye4Design (10 reviews)
    I don't know how this stuff ever made it past quality control with this formula. Clear?? yeah, its cleary terrible!! gunky white residue immediately tranferred to my clothes. I threw out the rest of my container after a few uses. plus It smells chalky!! Yuck. its a shame since I like Dove's real beauty ad campaigns. June 3, 2008, 1:39 am

If you wear black, it will show...perhaps not as bad as other brands, but it will. I still use it though because I have a hard time finding deodorant/anti-persp scents that don't turn "chemical" smelling on me. This one keeps me dry and smelling good. I'm still on the search for the perfect no-white mess pit-stick. :o) April 22, 2008, 9:26 am

I was not having white mark problems with my previous deodorant, nor did I care about moisturizing my pits. I received a free sample and used since...hey...it was free! I surprisingly fell in love with it. I have struggled in the past to really feel faithful to a deodorant. I do not have wetness, it keeps me odor free and I love the frangrance. I am not a Dove groupie:) April 20, 2008, 7:07 pm
