Carpe Clinical Strength Antiperspirant & Deodorant Stick, Fresh Linen

I got the fresh linen scent. It smells very inoffensive, just like clean laundry. It’s been a couple months of use and I love it so far! It last long, I don’t sweat, or smell. Does leave a white cast, so it can transfer to clothing. So far the only drawback I’ve noticed is that the top layer of deodorant can dry out causing it to drag a bit. But if you lightly wipe or scrape the top of it your good to go and it applies smoothly again.

This is worth every penny if you can’t find a deodorant that works for your sweaty smelly armpits. I have used clinical strength sec$et on and it did nothing, so I stopped trying and went to natural stuff assuming I was an anomaly. Apparently I am not as special as I thought! I live in south Florida and am outside taking 3 mile long walks with my dog midday- with this stuff, I don’t smell bad and I don’t need to avoid people out of embarrassment OR change my shirt when I get home! Previously, I would need to wear a tanktop even if it was a rare 45*F outside if I didn’t want sweat stains. I’ve had no irritation, which is great considering I was using a natural $12 deodorant. I know it says it’s scented but I didn’t realize that until a month later when I decided to write this review, but that’s fine, I’m trying to get rid of smells. I find you have to let it warm to your skin for about 5-10 seconds then it goes on quickly and smoothly and feels like any other solid deodorant I’ve used. Also just a side note - if you are looking at this stuff, even if you don’t buy it, a secret I’ve learned is washing your pits weekly with chlorhexidine antiseptic wash. This product has eliminated that need for me, but I realize the cost is exorbitant; if you’re on the fence and can ‘afford’ this, you will not regret it. I have no affiliation with this company and am not an influencer. I’m just a human with a stint sweaty nature. I have not been paid to write this, just want people twin have suffered through life stinky to know they have solid solution!

If you are like me and have a problem with underarm odor and sweat, welcome to the club. Nothing seemed to work for me and Google recommended this brand.. NOT GOOD. It smells good, but that’s about it. It didn’t keep me fresh, it did not stop or even slow down the sweating. It didn’t irate my skin mostly because I wasn’t able to apply it again due to the actual deodorant getting dry. Because of this I couldn’t even apply it. Don’t waste your money. I recommend Duradry. You can get it here on Amazon and works wonders!

I am an amputee and live in the SW, therefore summers are scorching hot. Winters mild but days it is still fairly warm. I have tried many deodorants and all failed to help my lower limb from sweating to death and my leg moving around when outdoors. Now, this is not a cure all but it is the first one I have tried in 10 years that help with the sweat and it needs to be the clinical strength. I found I could not tolerate other brands as they would cause a rash or burning sensation when applied. Carpe is my go to now. It may not be for everyone liking but, for me it this last summer it has been a life saver for my lower limb.

For the past 5 years, I've been suffering from extreme sweating as a side effect of medication. After unsuccessfully trying every over the counter and prescription option I could think of, my insurance agreed to cover Botox injections (which tells you how bad my sweating was). Unfortunately, while the Botox effectively controls my sweating, it doesn't eliminate the odor. I started using Carpe after my dermatologist gave me a sample of a different item. When I finished the sample, I decided to try this one and I'm so glad I did. I apply it at night and in the morning and the odor is 99% gone, even at the end of a long and stressful day. The smell is very pleasant and not overwelming. I haven't experienced any skin irritation, only painless red marks at times. It's more expensive than a regular deodorant but it WORKS and that makes it worth it to me. The only downside is that the stick does dry out very quickly and then it won't apply. I used a trick that another reviewer mentioned, which is to get it very slightly wet and it works. But it can be somewhat inconvenient and in my option shouldn't be happening at this price point, which is why I deducted a star. TLDR: this deodorant is awesome but make sure you keep it next to your sink

I have to say I never write reviews but this product is so great! Ever since I hit menapause at the early age of 40, I was get hot sweats and sweating more than normal and I used every highly rated deodorant I could find and nothing worked as well as this. It goes on a little rough, not as easy to smooth on, but it works so amazing!!! I apply first thing in the morning after I dried from shower and it keeps me dry and sweat/smell proof for 24 hours no joke. I’m a harsh critic too and highly recommend. It’s pricey but it seems to last long too especially since I only need to apply once. Love!

This works, however it arrived so dehydrated that it is unusable. I’m trying to rehydrate it using a sandwich bag with some water in it. That seems to be working, I just hope I didn’t mess up the effectiveness. *edit After leaving the stick in the plastic bag for a week, deodorant stick works and doesn’t drag on my armpits.

The best deodorant I've ever used. Keeps me feeling fresh all day.
