Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My daughter perspires heavily. This product, though, seems to do the job for her. She applies it the evening before and has no problem with perspiration the next day. It is supposed to work for 2 days-even through a shower-but she's been applying it nightly, regardless.
The scent is pleasant, too-subtle and not overwhelming.
This does not go on clear, however, which is why this is rated 4 stars rather than 5. She's also tried Degree Clinical Protection, Women's Anti-perspirant and Deodorant, Shower Clean, 1.7-Ounce Stick (Pack of 2) and prefers this product over that one.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The combination of wetness protection and skin softening is an extremely pleasant surprise. I have used the product through a week of being outdoors, in the heat, and the quality is excellent.
I am a long-time Dove user, but previous products aimed at superior wetness protection had the side effect of causing pores to block. One of their discontinued product, for all of its wetness protection, caused me to develop large pimples in the underarm area. This no longer is the case. It seems Dove has perfected the product, and I recommend it highly.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My wife says that the Dove Clinical Protection keeps her dry, but she doesn't notice that much difference between it and the regular Dove anti-perspirant ("Ultimate") she's been using for quite some time. She does, however, think that the the Clinical Protection's moisturizers are a bit better. And she really likes the cucumber and green tea scent, which is pleasant but not too strong. However, the big hang-up here is price. The Dove Ultimate can be had for a little over $3.00 a bottle. The Dove Clinical Protection is more than double that price. In these tough financial times, that's a huge difference. Bottom line: Although my wife likes the Clinical Protection formula, the subtle differences don't justify the very high price. Twice as expensive, but not twice as good. She'll be sticking with the more economical Dove anti-perspirant.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I got my hands on this to give to my wife, but she had no interest in changing brands. So I tried it myself. . .and I like to sweat.
I followed the directions (yes as a man I do that on occasion), and put it on before bed, right after a shower. The next morning I went for a 30 minute bike ride to meet up with some friends. Sitting around the table I didn't feel like was smelling my usual stinky gym body, which I figured my friends appreciated too.
Another 45 minute bike ride home and I still felt pretty good and not overly stinky. When looking at my armpits, the product is still there in full strength. Thus, 1.25hrs of bike riding didn't "wash" it away with the sweat like it does with many other products.
The cucumber/green tea scent is very pleasant. My wife commented on how it smelled "too good" to be deodorant and would make a nice perfume. The scent does make one feel fresh and clean, as advertised.
I do think it's a joke how this is advertised as "Dove's famous 1/4 moisturizers, it soothes and conditions skins". You are putting this on your armpit for goodness sakes. Really? Do people need a lot of moisturizing in that high sweat area? Seems kinda a waste. Then again, this is where we men forget how much we love a woman's smooth skin and all the work many of them go through to get it that way. So take this comment with a grain of salt, please.
The dispenser is a rounded top with a circle of grooves that the product comes up through when twisting the bottom of the dispenser. Most of the time, only one of the holes would get product coming out and I never knew if it was enough. I'd twist, get a small smudge, twist some more and no additional product would come up, so I'd apply hoping it was enough. I just didn't like the dispenser at all.
The biggest issue I have is it is only 1.7oz.
That is ridiculously expensive, when most major brands are $4 or less for 1.5-2.0 oz. dosages. In a time when, thanks to gas prices, everyone is getting more cost sensitive, I'm not sure a lot of people will see if there is truly a value here. This is the main reason for a decrease in a star rating.
OVERALL:
The product smells really nice and stays with you even after a workout.
You just have to ask yourself, is the cost benefit of using a different, cheaper brand 2 to 3 times a day going to outweigh the cost of this product?

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The scent sold me initially. My regular powder-scent deodorant was no longer available, so I went sniffing for a new one. I hate heavy scents, and have allergies, so pretty much anything floral is out of the question.
After sniffing dozens of deodorant containers (I'm sure I looked like a crazy person), this was the only one I really liked.
The lotion-style product is delivered through a series of small to larger holes in the top of the container. The directions say two clicks is all you need, so that's what I used although it sure didn't seem like much, and once I put it on, I couldn't feel it at all. No wet or sticky feel whatsoever!
The first day out, I really put this deodorant to the test. It was 95 degrees out, and we were riding motorcycles through some pretty rough conditions. Dust and dirt, wind and sweat. To make matters worse, I was wearing a body armor shirt notorious for sucking the stink out of anyone!
That night we got to our campsite and I warily took a sniff at my shirt. Nothing but the original light scent. Wow. My old deodorant wouldn't have passed this test, that's for sure.
It's amazing to me that with the same 'active ingredient' in most deodorants, some still work so much better than others. This one definitely works for me!

Update 8-2008
After months of using this product, I can say I am extremely happy with it! I am still on my first container of deoderant, so it lasts as long as 'regular' stick styles.
Sometimes deoderants stop working for me, or cause an allergic reaction after a few months, the Dove Clinical Protection is still working as well as it did the first day I used it.
Again, a great product that stands the test of time!
