Carpe Underarm Antiperspirant Deodorant for Women and Men - Clinical Strength Deodorant for Women with 100 Hour Clinically Tested Sweat and Odor Protection - Fresh Powder

Helps so much with excessive sweating and odor! This has saved my life with clothes. Still haven’t tried wearing anything snug with it but I don’t sweat through it. I apply morning and night. Paired it with the under arm exfoliater after 4 weeks of use and it working even better!! Smells great. No irritation or redness. Game changer for excessive sweating and odor, I recommend this to anyone struggling bc I have tried them all and this is the one that works! Very slow shipping so order in advance if you’re getting low.

Carpe has been the best deodorant i have used to far. I am someone who struggles with sweat and have tried almost everything in stores and even was a long time supporter of the competitor of this product, (Lume) Lume caused me eczema breakouts and honestly stopped working after a few months of use after my body seemed to get used to the formula. Carpe has kept me feeling clean and dry all day and honestly it’s amazing. This has really helped my self esteem and confidence! Yes, it’s a pretty penny for deodorant but if you’re at your ends with deodorant brands and all the BS they put in their products only for them to barley work, the money is well spent. Carpe is awesome! :3

Longevity: It stays! I was honestly shocked at how this deodorant stayed on me when all others I've used have not. Sure, they go on and can smell good, but in less than 24 (many cases way less) hours I really felt like my underarms were without protection and in the case of some (especially Salt & Stone) the stink of BO was noticeable. With this, even after a workout the smell was contained. I don't stink unless I've had a really sweaty day, but this stuff STAYS. Scent: Afrer trying Salt & Stone (awful smells, by the way) off of Amazon, I was so hesitant to buy another brand online without first smelling it, but I decided I'd try it once again. The moment I opened this stick I was in awe of just how amazing the smell was. Strong enough to be enjoyable, but yet just right as to not be overwhelming. Even after hours of having it on, the smell was still there. I will say after a long while, the smell does eventually fade, but the deodorant is still working. Effectiveness: The most effective deodorant I have used to date. Not oy does it seem to prevent the BO smell, if you forgot to apply some, or say you receive your order after day has started and you apply it then (and if you're like me, having had worked out that day) it masks the oder that may have been there, for hours even. Texture: At first I was not sure if I'd like this lotion texture as a deodorant. In the past I've tried the gel like deodorants that were popular in other brands and they were horrible. Causes rashes, felt gunky, and overall were not it. This lotion though, perfect texture. Glides on only feeling slightly damp, but so smooth. After a minute I don't even realize I have it on because of how well it absorbs. Size: The size is my only issue. It's a tiny little thing, but that is not to say you can't get your monies worth out of it. As I've only had mine for a few days now, I can not say how long it'll last. Will update accordingly on this as time goes on. All in all, I will definitely be trying the other scents out, or at the very least be purchasing this (sandalwood) scent again.

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.

Fantastic product. Literally the only deodorant that actually stops me from sweating. My armpits literally be soaking my shirts wet. But my god 20$ after sale 25 original price for a stick that doesn’t last me a month. I’m like twisting the little thing to push the lotion out when it’s brand new and there is SO MUCH EMPTY SPACE FOR MORE LOTION. Why is it so expensive and yet very little. Carpet is the lays chips of the deodorant. Half the thing is air. Either lower the price or make it bigger this is like double and sometimes even triple the price of a regular deodorant stick.

This natural deodorant completely changed my expectations. If you actually follow the instructions, it works amazingly well. A tiny amount is all you need, which means one container lasts much longer than expected. It goes on smoothly, absorbs well, and keeps odor under control all day without feeling heavy or sticky. I was pleasantly surprised by how effective it is, especially for a natural product. No harsh smell, no overpowering fragrance, just clean and fresh. What really stands out is how far it goes. Using too much is unnecessary because a small swipe does the job perfectly. This is one of those products where less truly is more, and when used correctly, it absolutely delivers.

Being sweaty and/or stinky sucks, so I'm always looking for an antiperspirant that will hold me down. Carpe's deodorant is great at its effectiveness. I can put this on at night, and not worry about any underarm dampness. I will say, however, while using this product it's important to a detox at least once a month to maintain effectiveness. With that said, sometimes this lotion can irritate the skin so if you notice any redness, reduce usage to maybe every other night. Effectiveness aside, let's talk about quality control with packaging. While the product itself is stellar, I may be continuing my search for a decent deodorant. I've purchased four bottles of this scent, once from the Shop app and twice from here, and every time, the dispenser always fails. If you forget to put the cap on, the product is completely unusable. I know this may be considered user error, but drugstore deodorant lotion like Secret or Dove that uses this same type of dispenser never seems to have the same problem. The whole thing dries out, and then you are unable to dispense any product. Okay, I chalked this up to lesson learned and became more vigilant about putting the cap on... And yet, this last order, the wheel did not work. When trying to spin it clockwise, the wheel actually unscrewed itself from the bottom. In order to get product out, I had to actually press the mechanism back into the bottle which pushed out product at the top... way too much in fact that it was wasteful. For 20 dollars a pop, the quality control on their dispensers is terrible and it's a hard no for me. I've found comparable brands without the tendency to have product waste. I may consider their dry stick but yeah, it's a no for me.

I live in Texas. It's hot. Deodorant is a MUST. I'm not an exceptionally sweaty person, I don't have a physically job, but it never fails, any store-bought deodorant ALWAYS fails at some point during the day. I have tried all sorts, scents and even clinical strength to no avail. And I don't like the idea of having to go and reapply, especially since most deodorants say their 24hr or 36 or 72 or whatever. And then I tried Carpe! Game. Changer. Because it's more of a lotion consistency than your normal solid deodorant stick, you use so much less - the attached pic is how much I use ander each arm! So a little goes a LOOOOONG way. I bought this in the beginning of September and I'm still not out! The scent is great too - I like that it's not only not overpowering, but it all but disappears when you finish applying it. There have been some deodorants that I could get whiffs of the "fragrance" and that's not always something you want - it's like when someone uses air freshener after using the bathroom ... You know why it's there. The ONLY gripe I have (which I had to search for!) is that it doesn't travel well (via airplane) unless you retract it all the way down - again, lotion like consistency.
