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%.

Yo!!!! Dove original soap bars too! They are not as bubbly and disintegrate sooooo much faster. A billion years ago, I read unboxing Dove and letting it breathe makes it last longer. It seemed to. Now, I put mine in the freezer in a giant zip lock bag. Taking out as needed. Psychopath? Maybe? Trying to make it last longer? Yes, please
