Freshness doesn't last long

Although it looked like it would be a great product it has much to be desired. You need to re-apply throughout the day otherwise it doesn't appear that you are wearing deodorant. If the deodorant piece breaks off, there is no way of putting it back and your hands are always messy.

New reloadable deodorant

My husband liked this new deodorant, especially that you can reload it to minimize waste. He looks really liked the look of the stainless steel case and and it's nice size. Only concern would be that you need to be gentle applying or risk breaking the bar off the base.

Decent but not perfect

I received this from Chickadvisor to review. I appreciate the idea of the no waste deodorant. It lasts as long as it says and the scent is very pleasant. However, there is still some waste associated with it. The packaging is sturdy but a bit heavy to travel with

Great Quality, Poor Value

The Dove Men+Care Fresh Feel Deodorant Stick Refill Kit contains a stainless steel case, and the fresh feel scent deodorant. My dad liked the smell and size of it. The scent is very fresh smelling, not too strong either. It’s in a very portable size, perfect for on-the-go.

The distinguishing factor between these deodorants and others is the environmental impact. These products come in packing made of 98% recycled plastic. The case itself is reusable, and the refills are available for purchase. These are also both aluminium-free and cruelty-free!

The only downside (I’ll admit it’s a huge downside) is the cost. The starter kit itself comes in at a whopping $19.97 at Walmart, and the refill kit (2 sticks) is $11.97. Also to note: each stick is only 32g, whereas the cheaper, regular stick is 74g! This is just not feasible for the average consumer. That said, if you have the extra money to spend, or can find a really good deal on these, definitely go for it!

Great Concept but didn't work for husband

Thank you Chickadvisor and Butterly for choosing me to review the new Dove + Schmidts Deodorant duo #gotitfree.

1st I would say is that this is a great concept, love the stainless steel case with the idea that you just buy it once and then you buy refills after that, it cuts down on plastic containers going in the garbage which is a plus.

The scent of the deodorant is very nice, you can definitely smell the cucumber - the actual deodorant part is a gel like consistency so not powder. For the men's deodorant, my husband wasn't a fan and wouldn't purchase this. For him he wasn't a huge fan of the smell and especially the consistency being a gel like formula, the deodorant is very "sticky" feeling which he absolutely hates - it's a deal breaker for him when choosing deodorants. The most important thing in a deodorant is how well it worked, for him he didn't like smelling as he sweats a lot and after a long while he was definitely smelling ripe lol - natural deodorants just don't work for him and this was one of them

Overall I gave it 3 stars because of the idea and design around it but in terms of working for him it didn't at all unfortunately.

Does the job

I was lucky to receive this do free to try it out and give an honest review. My husband got this one and he really loved the packaging and said it's really easy to put together and use. He said the scent reminded him of the soap he uses but still smells good and lasts longer than other deodorants he's tried

The

Pros
1. Great scent and long lasting
2. Stainless steel case makes it great to travel with. The case makes the product look trendy for anyone to have.
3. Instructions for replacement steps are easy to follow.
4. Feels nice in the hand while holding it. Good amount of weight.
5. Leaves no residue and keeps me feel refreshed and armpit dry.

Cons
1. Replacement cartridges are a great idea, but 54% recyclable material is not enough. Perhaps the packaging should simply be an eco plastic film wrapping like what they use in soap bars
2. Wish the applicator had an adjustable knob to push the stick in and out like many conventional antiperspirant in the market.
