Dove Men+Care Deodorant Stick for Men Clean Comfort Aluminum Free with Moisturizing Cream, 3 oz

I picked up the Dove Men Care Clean Comfort aluminum-free deodorant because I've been trying to move away from antiperspirants. The aluminum-free thing sounded good in theory, but I wasn't sure if it would actually keep me from smelling like a locker room by 3 PM. The first thing you notice is the smell—Clean Comfort is a pretty accurate name. It's fresh, a little soapy, but not overpowering or cologne-y. Just clean. My wife actually commented that it smelled "like you just showered," which I took as a win. The stick goes on smooth, no chalky white residue. I've worn dark t-shirts and didn't see any marks, which is a huge plus. It also doesn't feel sticky or wet after applying. It just kind of disappears. Now for the real test: odor protection. On a normal day—desk job, some walking around, nothing crazy—it held up fine. I stayed fresh for a good 8-10 hours. On a day I went to the gym and then ran errands? It struggled a bit by the end. I wasn't offensive, but I could tell it was losing the battle. You definitely need to reapply after heavy sweating. The moisturizing part sounds gimmicky, but my underarms actually feel softer than with other deodorants. No irritation or burning, which I've had with some natural ones. My only real complaint is the size. It feels like it runs out faster than other sticks. I'm hoping I just got a dud and the next one lasts longer.
