The Dove Original Antiperspirant Deodorant Spray 250ml delivers up to 48 hours of protection against underarm wetness and odour while caring for the skin underneath. Its signature quarter moisturising cream is what separates it from a standard antiperspirant, helping underarms feel soft and smooth rather than dry and tight. The formula contains 0% alcohol (ethanol), so it can go on after shaving without the sting. One 250ml can carries the familiar Dove Original scent through a full UAE summer day.

Why This Antiperspirant Works

An antiperspirant is not the same thing as a deodorant. A deodorant masks odour; an antiperspirant reduces the sweat that causes it. This one uses aluminium chlorohydrate to temporarily reduce underarm perspiration, then layers Dove's moisturising cream over the top so the skin barrier is not left stripped. Dove reports that the quarter moisturising cream in this formula gives visibly softer, smoother underarm skin after just three days of use.

Ideal For

This suits anyone who wants dependable all-day dryness in a hot, humid climate without sacrificing underarm comfort, and it is a solid choice for people who shave regularly. Do not apply to broken or irritated skin, and stop use if a rash develops. The can is pressurised and flammable: keep it away from heat and flame, never leave it in a parked car, and do not store it above 50 degrees Celsius, which is worth taking seriously during a UAE summer. Ask a doctor before using if you have kidney disease. Available at MedX Pharmacy with delivery across Dubai and the UAE.

1. Shower and make sure underarms are completely dry and, if possible, cool.

2. Shake the can well to mix the protecting and caring ingredients.

3. Raise your arm and hold the can about 15cm from the underarm.

4. Spray each underarm for roughly two seconds, in a well ventilated area.

5. Let it dry before dressing. After shaving, wait a few minutes so the skin is cool and calm first.
