If you remember, recently I made a post on how to get lighter and softer skin under your arms. A couple tips included rubbing in whitening lotion and frequently replacing your shaver… Well, just about a week later I was surprised to learn that Dove actually came out with a new line of deodorants developed specially to take care, moisturize and protect the very area of armpits! That’s a really good idea, taking into account that with all the care you need to take of other parts of our bodies we tend to ignore the needs of underarms skin. We think it needs no care whatsoever, even though we subject the delicate skin in this area to daily shaving which, in fact, thins out the top layer of the skin by as much as 20% and as a result often leads to irritation, discoloration and dryness.
Deodorants in Dove’s New Ultimate line are developed based on a tri-moisturizing system and contain ingredients that provide occlusive, humectant and nourishing effects on the skin. Here is how it works: Humectant draws water to the skin, occlusive keeps the water locked in and the nourishing moisturizer of natural sunflower oil softens and boosts the skin's natural moisture barrier. As a result skin is moisturized and conditioned, soothed and protected and is beautiful, soft and smooth.
Dove contacted me and asked if I would like to try out this new product. Of course, I would! I got so curious! So I’ve tested the Sheer Silk and Light Radiance deodorants. Here is my honest opinion. I usually avoid anti-perspirants with fragrance because my skin tends to get irritated and I just prefer to wear my favorite perfume alone :-). In case with Dove Ultimate Sheer Silk deodorant I had no problem with either irritation or fragrance which is so very subtle and tender… It just has this very very light pleasant floral smell of cleanliness! Light Radiance has a more pronounced fragrance with wooden and floral notes. As far as the texture goes, Dove Ultimate is a solid deodorant but when you apply it to the skin, it feels like a silky cream. The skin definitely feels softer and moisturized. And even though I can’t get into a habit of frequently replacing my razor for a sharper one I had no problem with irritation after shaving whatsoever…
And for the end of my review I saved a couple tips for an at-home spa treatment for your armpits!!! Dove came up with a special treatment and with a special name for a procedure to pamper underarm skin - PitiCure (analogical with pedicure!). First, exfoliate underarm skin with a washcloth, shave under the shower to soften the skin and make sure to use a shaving cream, pat dry and apply Dove Ultimate to soften and moisturize. I guess here is all you need to know to have smooth and soft underarms! :-)

Dove is a tested brand even in different foreign country. The product is not only good for a daily activity sweating but the fact that it makes your underarms smooth and soft get a high ranking points.

I think the PitiCure idea is cute, but doesn't shaving exfoliate your skin? Dove knows a lot more about skin care than I ever will, so I'll give it a try. If there deodorant is as good as their soap, then it'll be the best ever.
I haven't used Dove deodorant, since I have a sensitivity to most deodorants, so just stay away from them most of the time. (Lots of showers and put some on for a very short time when away from home) But my daughters could use these.

The moisturizer makes it the best on the market.
I know that the best way to get finer hair is to wax instead of shave, but I just can't do it! I think this is another good option.

I would love to try Dove deodorant. Most deodorants give me a rash.

I am using dove products for quite some time and what I love about it, it's that I never had a skin irritation
Dove is a great brand, always has been. So these deodorants can be nothing but awesome.
Dove is one of the only things that my skin isn't sensitive too. Their products are great.

I use a lot of Dove products!
I've tried a bunch of different deodorants, but like the Dove line the best!
My opinion of the Ultimate line will be high if these products are anything like what they usually deliver!
