What owners single out
The reformulation's failure in odor control (1.8/5) directly mirrors video reviewers' concerns about the active ingredient change from hops to castor reducing effectiveness.
In their words
“We buy this more for a deodorant then for an antiperspirant. The prompts again are not relevant to us, but we will do our best to use them. At our age our physical activity, as my husband would say is the lifting of the fork. I do try to get walks in but very seldom get up to a sweat with them. Laundry creates more activity fighting with the washer when it gets out of balance, lifting wet bib over”

“Beware. The active ingredient has changed from hops to caster and it is terrible at fighting odor. I faithfully used the previous formula for years and could easily go 3 days without smelling. I tried the new formula and within about 8 hours I started to smell. The next day after showering I applied the new formula again and got smelly within just a few hours. Rinse and repeat and on the third day”
