I WAS NOT COMPENSATED FOR THIS POST, HOWEVER I DID RECEIVE A SAMPLE FOR MY REVIEW. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN AND NOT INFLUENCED IN ANY WAY. I can say that I have been a HUGE fan of Dove deodorant since it was released! I was one of those teens who had trouble finding the right deodorant and I can say that before Dove released their brand of deodorant I went through them ALL! Lady Speed Stick, Mitchium, Degree, Suave, Secret, Arm & Hammer, Teen Spirit, Arrid...you name it and I can say I probably tried it. The funny thing about the Dove deodorant though was that I could NOT use any other scent than Powder. Original and Radiant Silk made me stink and sweat even more. I didn't even give it a second thought to try any other scent they released.
I was a newbie to Influenster when I was gifted the Dove Advanced Care Deodorant with NutriumMositure. I was open and willing to try this product because 1) it was Dove and 2) it stated that it had 48 hours of protection. My only doubt was that I was deciding to go against using anything that was an antiperspirant since it has been linked to cancer. I figured hell I've been using it all my life no need to not try this one out. So I did away with my Dove Powder Deodorant and gave the Advanced Care a try. So worth the wait! I had used it for the first two days and noticed that I did not sweat as much as I had before and that my underarms were not producing a musty smell. Dove Powder seemed to work for me, but this really did the trick! It's like working with good, better, and best. The Powder was better, but the Advanced Care was best!
I haven't really taken note to whether my underarms were getting lighter as I was using the product. To be honest, I had been a little lazy and slacked on shaving my underarms. But I can say that when I did shaved and swiped the deodorant under my arm, it was smooth, it didn't burn, and I still felt like I was getting the protection I needed. Speaking of protection needed, I tend to sweat during the night as well and I felt that this kept me from sweating.
The smell of the product was great; light, but a good smell. The only con that I didn't care for was the deodorant at times felt very moist and soft. I liked the smoothness of it, but if I wasn't careful with placing the top on correctly, I would chip off some of the deodorant. I would like it if it was a tad, and I mean TAD bit harder, but kept its smoothness. However, that is not a con that would make or break me from buying the product. If the texture remained the same I would buy it again and again because of the protection and coverage.
I also like the packing of the product. The product comes in many different scents. However, since my body tends to reject certain scents, I think I will stick with what I have been using which seems to be the most popular brand. I do like the fact that they have given women (and men) the option to select from various different scents. And from what I believe the Advanced Care offers more product than the regular Dove deodorants.
Thank you @Dove for continuing to follow through in promoting great products and thank you +Influenster for allowing women like me to experience such an awesome opportunity to find things that we love and share them with others!
Peace & Happiness :)

*This is me and my armpits! LOL! I swiped once to see the consistency of the product and the right side is from work and getting home 12 hours later. I like the fact that I don't have deodorant caked up under my arms, its smooth like I don't have on deodorant, yet I'm still protected! Thank you again @Dove and @Influenster *
