Carpe Underarm Antiperspirant

This is the first deodorant I've used in my life that actually stops my sweat. I used to sweat constantly- hot or cold. Pretty sure it’s mostly from anxiety. But this stuff works like a charm. The amount of confidence it’s given me to be able to wear any length of sleeves and to wear colored shirts besides only black, is seriously life changing. I wish I would have tried this a long time ago. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you, Carpe!!! ***Editing to add some important info*** The first time I ordered this it was amazing, then I ordered my second one (also here on Amazon, same scent coconut vanilla, same distributor) and the second one was definitely off. The consistency of it was more watery, took longer to rub in, left more of a white cast and started making my skin very dry, itchy, and irritated. This was after using up my first stick with no issues at all. So I ordered directly from Carpe’s website and the one I received from them is so much better. Better consistency and no dryness and irritation. I will not be ordering this product through Amazon again as now I feel it cannot be trusted. Also would also like to note that my most recent order from Carpe was the Rose Water scent and I wouldn’t order that scent again. To me it is very strong and doesn’t go away quickly like the coconut vanilla one did. It smells like fake fragrance, like drugstore shampoo or body wash, not like rose at all.

I've ruined white undershirts with yellow pit staines for almost 4 decades. I've tried all the internet "hacks' to remove these stains, none of them work. Not even bleach. Not sure who else has this problem, but my close family members have the same issue. Eventually my wife throws out my stained white undershirts and buys new ones. I saw an ad for this and figured why not... Being a scientist at heart I conducted my own experiment with 1 subject - me. I boght a bunch of brand new t-shirts switched over to using only Carpe. It's been 3 months and all my t-shirts hav e remained dry and NO MORE STAINS!! I was skeptical, but it just simply works. I've only tried the Mountain Breeze but I like it, so can't speak for any of the other scents. For me the cons are minimal. People complain about it being sticky and getting on your clothes, well that's not new. Put on any white deodorant and try putting on a black t-shirt, same issue. First, brush your teeth, make some coffee, or whatever and let it dry for a few minutes before you put your shirt on. Second, roll your shirt up a few times so the outside of your shirt is not exposed, put the shirt on then roll it back down. Problem solved and you don't get any deodorant (technically "antiperspirant") on the outside of your shirt. Who cares if you get a litte on the inside. The biggest "con" for me is of course the price. It'sexpensive, almost 5 times what my old standby Speed stick Irish Spring costs. I will save plenty of money on t-shirts that don't get pit stained, but it's still a little more expensive over the course of a year. I may have less t-shirts in our household rag bag, but at least I'm doing a little something to help the environment, at least that's what I tell myself. Also, I followed the instructions to apply it twice a day at the beginning, but that will double your cost because you'll run through it twice as fast. After a few days I just applied it once per day and still works just as well for me. There are a few products that just plain work and I'll spend the extra money for them, this is one of them. I sometimes work 24 hours shifts and when I take my undershirt oiff at the end of a really long day and it's still white and dry, and I still have all brand new looking white t-shirts at the end of my 3 month experiment ... winning.

I used to use other deodorants with no issue. Still sweaty but don’t smell bad at least. After my second pregnancy I developed a skin irritation and I could no longer use the deodorant I was using at the time (old spice). I then tried something different. Nothing I tried worked. So I eventually used nothing. The irritation I had was itchy and painful. I continued my search, but had to be more cautious about my buys because I had already purchased so many expensive antiperspirants and deodorants. I came across an add for Carpe and looked into the reviews. Took the leap of faith, and boy did it pay off!🤩 this is THE ABSOLUTE BEST product I’ve used🤌🤌✨✨. I am shocked at the results. No skin irritation, no sweat, and no stinky BO. My underarm skin felt great and cleared up quickly. I have never found any product that actually stopped the sweating until now! I don’t have to reapply multiple times a day, once and it’s golden! The eucalyptus smells wonderful and it drys pretty quickly. I am now considering buying their foot lotion. If it works anything like this antiperspirant I am going to be a very happy person ☺️👏👏👏

TL>DR Summary: DO NOT buy this product. While I would not go as far as to say this item is a scam, because it is a real product that does what it says, at $18 (what I paid) per 1.7 oz (50ml) this is 5x more expensive than it should be. If you're in the market for this product specifically, I would suggest you get Degree Advanced 72 Hour instead. If you are looking for a "clinical strength" version of this product, get Certain Dri Extra Stength Clinical Strength. Both of which are 3-5X cheaper. For an everyday "clinical strength", go with Certain Dry Clinical Strength Everyday or Degree Clinical Protection, both 2-3x cheaper. Synopsis: Over the years, as I have aged and become more active, my regular deoderant and antiperspirants stopped becoming effective. I would find myself sweating more often and, as a result, the armpits of my shirts suffered greatly. In doing some shopping for a new antiperspirant, I came across Carpe. A friend of mine said that they had used it and thought I should give it a try, so I did. At the time of purchase I hadn't done a lot of research into antiperspirants but, after having purchased, I wish I had as it would have save me a lot of time. While the product itself is decent, the price ($18) and size make this product a horrible value for what it is actually offering. Further, this product is marketed as though it's "clinical strength" when in reality, it's not at all. Application: The product comes as a soft solid. Basically means that it has more of a "lotion" consistency than a solid. The packaging states to put a thin layer under your arms before bed (as do many of these products) although "thin" layer is up to interpretation. But, nevertheless, apply a small amount at night. While the product is quick drying, I did find that "quick" meant several minutes. I didn't find the formula to be irritating to me although it was sticky at times. However, once it dried I had no further problems. I do wish that the instructions made the amount clearer (such as two turns, four turns, etc.) but it wasn't bad. Fragrance: I decided to go with the Coconut Vanilla scent, mainly because it was cheaper at the time I purchased. The smell isn't super strong but not light either, so in the middle. I'm not a huge fan of coconut smells, but I did not find this one to be unpleasant at all. Results: This is where I had the bulk of my issues. This product uses aluminum sesquichlorohydrate as it's antiperspirant active ingredient. Aluminum sesquichlorohydrate is one of 18 FDA approved aluminum salts and is more gentle on the skin. While not necessarily what would be used in a prescription (that would be aluminum chloride), it's effective. The problem that I have, however, is that this product uses aluminum sesquichlorohydrate @ 15% concentration. This means that while this product has a higher concentration than a typical gentle antiperspirant that uses this active ingredient (as it will usually be 9-10% concentration), it is actually less than many 72 hour antiperspirants that use the same active ingredient (ex. Degree Advanced 72 Hour is 16%). In my testing, in fact, this product is mostly on par to slightly less effective for me than a typical Degree Advanced 72 Hour solid stick, with me getting similar (to just slightly less) dryness results. Thus, if you combine that with the fact that it's a soft solid (and thus, more difficult application), costs $10.58 per oz, and contains less of it's active ingredient than a antiperspirant that regularly comes in a larger, 2.6 oz size and costs $5 in most places ($1.92 per oz), this product is borderline scam. If you are in need of this particular active ingredient at similar concentrations, visit your local store and look at the labels. You'll find some 72 hour sticks with similar concentrations. If you are looking for a "clinical strength" version of this active ingredient, Certain Dri Clinical Strength Extra Strength contains the legal maximum of 25% aluminum sesquichlorohydrate. Like this, it comes as a 1.7 oz solid but is usually around $7-8, making it a much better buy for a much stronger product. Overall: Overall, this is not a product that I can recommend, not at this price point. It's no better than a typical 72 Hour antiperspirant but costs 5x as much. And for a clinical strength version of this particular active ingredient, it's 3x as much. If you suffer from excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) and need something strong, this is definitely not going to be your product. The marketing of the product is good and it has good story, but at the end of the day it boils down to what it's made of and its price point. For its price, it should be much better. I will stick to other products versus this one.

I normally use Dove Advanced Care unscented deodorant, but after seeing tons of ads on Instagram, I HAD to see if it was right. Usually I sweat a bit throughout the day just sitting at work, but not enough to show through on a shirt. However, when applying a minimal amount of this deodorant, it was completely dry and I didn't have to worry about having my arms next to my body at all. I also sweat a little bit at night and leave my shirt smelling a little sweaty, but using Carpe before bed stopped it altogether. HOWEVER, I did get chemical burns within 2 weeks of using it. When I'd shower, I would be sure to use a loofah to get out all the deodorant, but even after showering and lightly scrubbing, my armpits would sting after applying Carpe again. I thought also that it might be stinging from having some residuals caught on my little bit of hair on my armpit, so I shaved it off-- I think that also fed into the chemical irritation... As I kept using it despite the stinging, it got worse and worse and I had lines of red and irritation all over my armpits. I stopped using it for around a week and just now began using it again, and I didn't have any problems right now. I think the lesson here is to be very thorough when cleaning and applying Carpe, since the lotion is stubborn and resists water exposure. I'm 80% sure that the main irritation came from entering my open hair follicles after shaving. Besides that, it works exactly how it appears in the ads. 1 Month Update: I’ve been using Carpe daily again and have had no further problems with chemical burns. I also want to add that the chemical burns were not instant. You’ll notice if it’s happening if it stings after you put it on, nothing too crazy like your skin peeling off or any bleeding. Try Carpe, it really has been the only deodorant that has stopped my sweating. 13 Month Update: I figured out why I got chemical burns and it might be obvious, it might not be. After I showered (regardless of shaving), using Carpe shortly after would immediately cause irritation. I think that's a bit odd since I could normally use any other kinds of deodorant or lotion-like products. After about 30 minutes, I could apply Carpe and there'd be no problem. So yeah folks, don't be dumb like me and try to put Carpe on RIGHT after showering. I'd like to assume it might be my pores are completely open from the heat and my body doesn't like shoving a cream in there right away.

This would be coming from a naturally uh smelly individual for I got some weird body chemistry and am very sweat prone. I also am quite active of a person in general so the average type of deodorant doesn't last much at all. For this though this would be a different case. It was easy to apply and stayed on and was still evident in fragrance even when by the end of the day and this was after one means of the application! The scent would be rather masculine, yet also sweet and woodsy. It makes me wonder the other scents as well and will probably end up purchasing the rest seeing how well such a product would seem to be. Say goodbye to body odor and hello to a pleasant scent that seemingly lasts! Be it may be on the pricier side it would be well worth the purchase since it lasts! Please do consider!

The product is great and does a fantastic job keeping me from getting super sweaty throughout the day. However, for as expensive as it is, the dispenser leaves a lot to be desired. I think I’ve had less than a handful of working dispensers, every other one I’ve received has broken apart or not functioned appropriately and it makes the product incredibly difficult to use. When I try using the dial to push more product up into the holes, it starts untwisting from the bottom of the dispenser. When I push it back up into the dispenser, the product does start to come out of the holes, but the entire top completely pushes off like this last dispenser I got. This one pictured was brand new out of the packaging. I decided it was easier to scrape the product out of the dispenser and apply it with a makeup pad. These are so consistently bad that I’ve switched from Carpe entirely, which is a shame because I love the product and it works great, but I’m not even getting close to my money’s worth between the awful dispenser and wasted product as a result.

Where has this product been all my life! I am in Florida and most of the year the weather is like the surface of the sun. This product truly a game changer. My clothes had a lingering smell in the pits of the shirt, and I never felt secure using Secret or even clinical Secret to control odor. this truly works and I am completely sold on this deodorant!!!!!

con este producto ya no me chilla la ardilla, es caro pero les juro que vale la pena. los primeros días pica la axila pero se te pasa en unos días.

رائع وساشترثه مره اخرى

It’s extremely expensive over priced but it does the job better than any other deodorant’s I’ve ever used and I’ve searched the globe trust me, it’s not tacky it’s refreshing, I walk a lot , no odour no sweat Amazing it’s got my vote 👍

Doesn't actually stop sweat and will just leave white marks on everything.

se sienten los efectos desde el segundo día, el mejor antitraspirante que he usado
