Convenient and Cost Effective
I use this in the morning and it leaves me feeling fresh all day. I do not worry about moisture accumulating or uncomfortable, and unpleasant odors/feelings. It is easy to pour into my hands and apply to necessary areas. I also like to pour some into my socks or shoes for peace of mind throughout the day. It works well enough that it isn't necessary to reapply for me throughout the day. I put it on the morning and feel fresh until night. I like to apply it after showers to prolong freshness throughout the entire day. It is more cost effective than sprays, as its just the pure powdered product, and if you pour too much out you can get it back in through the lid, so there is no worry of using too much or wasting product such as aerosols which I often find product is still inside, but has ran out of aerosol. I will be buying this again in the future, and won't be going back to spray products.

Cures Stinky feet
Many years ago I suffered with stinky feet. I tried many powders and products to no avail. Desenex powder cleared up that issue, as well as keeping my feet dry and clean. Excellent product that is easy to use. I think it is very reasonably priced for the comfort and effectiveness I have experienced with it

Desenex Formulation has changed
I wrote to Desenex as I too thought the texture of the powder was grittier in my most recent purchase in October 2023. They emailed me back a comprehensive answer in 24 hours. They confirmed the formulation has changed - it no longer contains talc or corn starch, so the product information provided above (at least at the time I am writing this) is incorrect. Desenex offered a refund which I did not pursue as I will continue using the product. In addition, below is what they emailed back to me plus additional comment of my own; From Desenex: The formulation of Desenex did change. We specifically reformulated with ingredients that improve absorbency and better serve consumers who suffer from fungal infections. To better meet the needs of our customers we have replaced the talc in our foot powders with a GMO-free, moisture-wicking ingredient that is safe and effective, and several other ingredients with improved absorption properties. We further improved the efficacy by eliminating corn starch, thus helping mitigate the risk of fungi associated with fungal infections. My additional comment: Johnson and Johnson is being sued on the basis of claims that its talc based baby product causes cancer. If I were running a company with a talc based product I would reformulate it to take the talc out too whether or not I thought the evidence supported the claim. Not worth the risk of major lawsuits. And I suspect that the alternatives are a little grittier.

Effective
It works pretty well. The smell is baby powder scented. It is strong but I can live with it so 🤷♀️

It’s not bad.
Decided to try this fed up with the rotating tops on other brands that randomly stop working. What I have found is nobody makes the perfect foot powder BOTTLE. First off it works. Same active ingredients as others. Now the bottle. I love the flip top because nothing to turn that can stop turning. The problem is the holes are too big IMO. Compared to Arm and Hammer they’re twice as big looking side by side at least. This leads to dumping powder out rather than a dusting. Good for them it sells more powder. So you have to be careful shaking it. Next shaking it. Do that to fluffin’ things up and it cakes to the inside of the lid making a mess. So don’t do that. The smell doesn’t bother me. Smells like… I don’t know what that is. Desenex that’s right. It’s not overpowering or anything. As for people complaining about powder settling and how much you get. It’s 3 ounces. A&H is 3.5 an lotrimin is 3 ounces as well. The A&H and this bottle are the same size. The Lotrimin smaller. Funny I don’t like their bottle as it looks too small. So people would complain if it was small and looked full. It’s sold by weight. You get 3 OUNCES. Between A&H, this and lotrimin which will I order again? Arm and hammer all day. Better bottle when it works and the mix of whatever and baking soda seems to be a good combo. Just be careful with the rotating top. This isn’t bad I just prefer A&H after using these 3.

Great for type 2 diabetic
In my job where I had to walk alot, the creases of my toes or between the tiny skin folds on them would itch like a mofo. I didnt know if it was the socks I wearing that were the problem or I simply had atheltes food cuz I walked alot and was a diabetic. Anyway, I got this product in addition to socks designed for diabetics, and the itching stopped. I currently do not have to use it on my toes anymore unless the itching and peeling starts again. However i still use it for my jock itch mainly, and it works just as well. I dont get the intense urge to itch while on the job when I used the powder for the privates.

This stuff works
I have tried a ton of antifungal remedies (sprays, creams, ointments) to no avail. Desenex is a fabulous product. As soon as I get out of the shower and make sure my feet are dry, I apply Desenex powder liberally to the insides of my slippers and then slip my feet in. I haven’t had a problem with itchy toes since using this. Effectiveness is spot on. It’s easy to use, just sprinkle inside your footwear. It lasts awhile so longevity is good and of course because it works so well, it’s definitely worth the money. I even just bought another bottle.
