Is this the one you use? I've been using this for a while and couldn't be happier. I smell great and don't really sweat that much. It also goes on clear and doesn't leave stains/residue. It's probably the best deodorant you can buy.
I use Dove for Men Unscented. I had the same problem as the OP. Just about any scented deodorant burns and irritates my armpits. This is particularly true if it's a gel or a gel stick.
I've had the same problem with every deodorant I've ever tried. That is, until I found... Degree Cool Comfort non-irritating with Aloe Vera! Does a great job and smells good, too. If they ever discontinue this product, I'm completely screwed.
This. I've felt the burn from old spice years ago. Before all this newer stuff it was a light blue solid, 24 hr protection BS.
Dove body wash is awesome. The Dove Men Care line, you can't go wrong with the blue bottle. I'm never using anything else.
This is what I use. So far it is about the only kind that really works and prevents the pit sweat. Plus, the wife freaking LOVES the smell of the Swagger scent. Even if I go jogging or something and saturate my pits she still smells the Swagger and digs it.
Used to use Mitchum, cuz it just works. Now I use that new industrial stregth stuff that they're charging nine bucks for, and for some reason I only use Secret and Dove.
Usually its the alcohol in the deodorant that causes that. you have two choices, 1. Man up and deal with the burning till your pits adapt. 2. change to a different deodorant. I also use old spice and never have that problem, but I did when I was given some Brut deodorant.
