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

The dispenser kept opening and then the deodorant came off the base. Good idea but poorly designed.

I thought this would be a great idea. The deodorant itself is nice but the third time I used it the deodorant broke off of the container and fell in the sink. I tried to put it back on but it breaks off as soon as you try to use it again.

*This is a review retraction update. Product proved to be defective after a weeks use. Previous reviews are correct that the stick breaks with too much pressure. Fact is not much pressure is needed at all to fracture the contents. Not worth the money.* I’ve used aluminum free deod for a while now so I’m used to the difference between aluminum and aluminum free. A lot of comments stating ppl didn’t think this item was great because they still sweat. You have to convert to aluminum free over a cpl of months. Your body requires a period of adjustment. This deod is very well made and works well in my opinion. I live a very active lifestyle and run around a lot. I’m not having an issues with this deod not working. It holds up very well. Smells is subtle & nice. Packaging is modern and well weighted. Haven’t had an issue of the stick breaking off like others said though. I wouldn’t man handle it but it’s sturdy. The lack of continuous plastic disposable packaging is nice. I’ll be placing this item on a subscription so long as it’s available on Amazon. Moisturizing and pleasant deod.

From the outside, this deo seems perfect, small and compact, easy to travel with. But once you get past the container is where the problem lay in wait for me. I used this deodorant twice. TWICE! before it broke off at the base. At this point I cant use the deodorant without it slipping and sliding in my hands and I cant reattach ot because its a virtually flat surface it sits on. The case is lovely, the deodorant works and smells nice, but be very VERY careful when applying. Also, a different design might be helpful, or even a smaller/sturdier option.

The design is faulty, the solid of the deodorant falls off with minimum pressure and then youre trying to use this blob of softish stuff full of lint etc getting all over your fingers. They needed to make the usual push up of the blob container and thought theyd make a refill and save money? and landfill? The only one saving money is the company with this product cause its a waste of your money. I like the product but the spray is too cold and this is too difficult to use.

I absolutely love the deodorant and the 2 scents I’ve tried. I wanted this to work so badly because I’m all about creating less waste. The 1st time I used the refillable the deodorant broke off the base which was very disappointing and I kept using it and putting it back in the holder and after only a couple days the holder wouldn’t seal. I absolutely love the concept it just needs re-engineered!

I was so excited to get this - I really try to minimize the amount of trash I send to the landfill. I saw the potential problem right away. There’s no support for the deodorant refill. So within a few days it broke and fell off and went flying across the bathroom floor…had to throw the pieces away. Wasted money, wasted product. They need to create a reusable holder that looks and works just like the disposable one. Then I will definitely buy again.

I like the scent , I like the feel of the deodorant, I love Dove! But this product is a dud . I bought 3 of the kits and gave 2 of them as Christmas presents to my sisters. I kept 1 for myself and I’m not happy with it . The deodorant stick broke in just 2 weeks after use . I complained to customer service and they replaced the stick with 2 , both of which also broke. I bought another kit at a reduced rate , thank goodness , and I’m going to see if perhaps I just got a defective base . More later .

Its heavy for its size. Its metal and plastic. Its over packaged. And when you go to use it the first time it breaks. So you cant remove the insert to put a replacement into it and have to go buy a new one to use the replacements youve already bought. No, this was a terribly designed product and its packaging is totally impractical for a refillable product. I am guessing the landfills will be full of this stuff.

I used the deodorant for 2 days and it broke off and I couldn’t use it. It needs something to put in the middle to be stronger. I did write the company to explained what happened. I understand that it’s new and needs to be upgraded.
