CarpeUnderarm Antiperspirant and Deodorant, Clinical strength with all-natural Eucalyptus scent, Combat excessive sweating Stay fresh and dry, Great for hyperhidrosis

I absolutely love the scent of this Lavender Citrus Carpe deodorant! It reminds me a lot of Bvlgari Au The Blanc, one of my all-time favorite fragrances, so it’s a real treat to wear. The smell is fresh and clean without being overpowering.The product recommends applying at night for best results, and while that works well, I find that I need to apply it again in the morning or early afternoon for an extra boost of freshness. It helps decently with sweat, though I’m not a particularly sweaty person, so it does the job for me.Overall, a great deodorant with a beautiful scent and solid performance for daily use.

Ya the best deodorant I’ve had in a long time. Consistency is key to have your underarms adjust but use it day and night then you will see how your underarms sweat less and less. I’m happy and even on my sweatiest days this doesn’t run down my underarms It stays. Doesn’t irritate my underarms or make my underarms get dark either. Keeps me dry without stripping my skin barrier and I’ve looked a for a long time trying to find something that works for me. Another plus is no more deodorant stains either.

I love this deodorant. I have always been someone who sweats a lot under my arms and I constantly worry that I smell. This is probably one of the only deodorants that I’ve felt confident wearing. The smell isn’t overpowering and the lotion texture dries very quickly. I don’t notice that it transfers to fabric easily either. I tried to use another deodorant when I ran out and quickly repurchased. definitely worth the $$$$

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.
