Carpe Antiperspirant, Clean Sport

After having my second baby my BO was so so terrible I honestly just didn't know what to do and was so embarrassed smelling like onions all the time. Literally nothing worked, I tried several deoderants and washing/reapplying deodorant multiple times throughout the day but nothing worked. My best friend recommended to try this, which I did and I haven't looked back even once. It's well worth the price and was a life changing product for me. It smells so so good and has never once failed me since using it. I put it on after my shower and don't reapply until I shower again, every night/every other night. It will stain your clothes though but that's a small price to pay to me most of the time for how long it lasts, how good it smells, and how hydrating it is

I've ruined white undershirts with yellow pit staines for almost 4 decades. I've tried all the internet "hacks' to remove these stains, none of them work. Not even bleach. Not sure who else has this problem, but my close family members have the same issue. Eventually my wife throws out my stained white undershirts and buys new ones. I saw an ad for this and figured why not... Being a scientist at heart I conducted my own experiment with 1 subject - me. I boght a bunch of brand new t-shirts switched over to using only Carpe. It's been 3 months and all my t-shirts hav e remained dry and NO MORE STAINS!! I was skeptical, but it just simply works. I've only tried the Mountain Breeze but I like it, so can't speak for any of the other scents. For me the cons are minimal. People complain about it being sticky and getting on your clothes, well that's not new. Put on any white deodorant and try putting on a black t-shirt, same issue. First, brush your teeth, make some coffee, or whatever and let it dry for a few minutes before you put your shirt on. Second, roll your shirt up a few times so the outside of your shirt is not exposed, put the shirt on then roll it back down. Problem solved and you don't get any deodorant (technically "antiperspirant") on the outside of your shirt. Who cares if you get a litte on the inside. The biggest "con" for me is of course the price. It'sexpensive, almost 5 times what my old standby Speed stick Irish Spring costs. I will save plenty of money on t-shirts that don't get pit stained, but it's still a little more expensive over the course of a year. I may have less t-shirts in our household rag bag, but at least I'm doing a little something to help the environment, at least that's what I tell myself. Also, I followed the instructions to apply it twice a day at the beginning, but that will double your cost because you'll run through it twice as fast. After a few days I just applied it once per day and still works just as well for me. There are a few products that just plain work and I'll spend the extra money for them, this is one of them. I sometimes work 24 hours shifts and when I take my undershirt oiff at the end of a really long day and it's still white and dry, and I still have all brand new looking white t-shirts at the end of my 3 month experiment ... winning.

I had switched to natural deodorant because aluminum kind ones hadn't worked for me and just stained my shirts when i sweat. This however works amazing for me i am pleased with the dry feel and no stainig.

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’ve unfortunately dealt with hyperhidrosis my whole life and initially I thought this product was going to finally tackle that issue. It started working for me within a few days (they say it can take up to a month) and I was thrilled. However, I noticed that it only seems to work when your sweating is caused by environmental factors like hot, humid weather or working out. If your sweating is caused by anxiety, stress or nervousness, Carpe doesn’t seem to work most of the time. This is super strange as it seems that sweating is sweating regardless of catalyst but I’m just basing this off of personal experience. For the price, the amount you get is pretty tiny (pictured next to 16 oz water bottle for scale). Seems like if you’re going to charge 4x more than other anti-perspirant brands, you could include a little more product. I’m pretty bummed as I thought this would finally solve my hyperhidrosis issue, but sadly not. If you’re ordering for the first time, order the Fresh Powder scent (smells like linen). Mountain Breeze and Sandalwood are incredibly overwhelming, Sandalwood actually made me physically ill from how strong the scent is. Each stick has lasted me just under a month. *EDIT (2 months after previous review) It still doesn't work 100% of the time, but I've noticed that it does work better when your pits are absolutely BONE dry before application. I'm talking no moisture of any kind, use a paper towel to remove any moisture or oil before applying. Also, if you're a guy, you may want to trim your pits just a bit. I noticed that it worked a bit better after I did some trimming, so ladies this product may be more effective for you. If you apply a copious amount of it, it does work pretty well maybe 85%-90% of the time and for that reason I changed my 3 star review to a 4 star. I just wish they gave you more of it for the price. It still appears to be more effective against temperature-related perspiration and less effective against nervousness-related perspiration, but if you need something to at least put a dent in your sweating and use enough of it, following the steps I listed, it will have an impact. It's better than the large majority of products on the market in its category so I guess it's not too bad.

Does what it claims. My underarms have been dry since using it. I do occasionally get white marks on my clothes but it could be user error. The clean sport smells nice just a typical men’s clean scent. I would buy again and recommend

The product is great and does a fantastic job keeping me from getting super sweaty throughout the day. However, for as expensive as it is, the dispenser leaves a lot to be desired. I think I’ve had less than a handful of working dispensers, every other one I’ve received has broken apart or not functioned appropriately and it makes the product incredibly difficult to use. When I try using the dial to push more product up into the holes, it starts untwisting from the bottom of the dispenser. When I push it back up into the dispenser, the product does start to come out of the holes, but the entire top completely pushes off like this last dispenser I got. This one pictured was brand new out of the packaging. I decided it was easier to scrape the product out of the dispenser and apply it with a makeup pad. These are so consistently bad that I’ve switched from Carpe entirely, which is a shame because I love the product and it works great, but I’m not even getting close to my money’s worth between the awful dispenser and wasted product as a result.

This would be coming from a naturally uh smelly individual for I got some weird body chemistry and am very sweat prone. I also am quite active of a person in general so the average type of deodorant doesn't last much at all. For this though this would be a different case. It was easy to apply and stayed on and was still evident in fragrance even when by the end of the day and this was after one means of the application! The scent would be rather masculine, yet also sweet and woodsy. It makes me wonder the other scents as well and will probably end up purchasing the rest seeing how well such a product would seem to be. Say goodbye to body odor and hello to a pleasant scent that seemingly lasts! Be it may be on the pricier side it would be well worth the purchase since it lasts! Please do consider!

con este producto ya no me chilla la ardilla, es caro pero les juro que vale la pena. los primeros días pica la axila pero se te pasa en unos días.

رائع وساشترثه مره اخرى

It’s extremely expensive over priced but it does the job better than any other deodorant’s I’ve ever used and I’ve searched the globe trust me, it’s not tacky it’s refreshing, I walk a lot , no odour no sweat Amazing it’s got my vote 👍

Doesn't actually stop sweat and will just leave white marks on everything.

se sienten los efectos desde el segundo día, el mejor antitraspirante que he usado
