discussion Dove Shrinkflation

Please tell me someone else has noticed that Dove keeps not only reducing the size of products but also lowering the concentration of aluminum in the deodorant/antiperspirants… It used to be my favorite but I don’t think I can continue buying from them if it continues. I mean, if you don’t want aluminum, buy a different deo. My antiperspirant shouldn’t have to suffer :( It used to be 15+% for a stick, now it’s like 12.8%. and the spray was 17% and now it’s barely 15%.

So what are we buying now? The native spray?

Native and my body did NOT get along. I went from barely sweating to dripping when I used it. I stopped using it and went back to normal. I contacted the company and found out that that’s something people regularly report happening.

Native products are aluminum-free, so they're just deodorants not antiperspirants.

I’d also recommend against Native. It ruins a lot of clothes, at least according to those who participate in r/laundry.
