Carpe Underarm Antiperspirant and Deodorant, Clinical strength with all-natural Eucalyptus scent, Combat excessive sweating, Stay fresh and dry, Great for hyperhidrosis

Great product!
I believe this is a great product for sweaty guys and gals. I have been given hormonal birth control that makes me sweat like crazy and nothing so far has been able to help me fully. I would say that for me it will be a 4 star review only because it doesn’t fully block smell and I still sometimes feel an inky in the armpit areas. Otherwise if your hormones are good then please please please try it it is great!Update! Updated to a 5 star! With time it my skin adapted to this product and it works perfectly now! No smell, no sweat for the entirety of the day! Previously had the baby powder scent version and now bought eucalyptus and two more fragrance free!

For The Cost, Do Not Buy This
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.

meh
Being, fairly sweaty often deodorants work for a bit before they eventually just wear off. Sadly, this one was no exception.Pros: Smells pretty good, works for a bit and definitely does its job (for however long it lasts)Cons: Really hard to get out and on your pits (the texture is thick), totally does not last very long (especially when not applied at night), and just overall is very expensive for such a mid product, i also think that it made my armpits darker regardless of how much i exfoliated.In all, i say try it, just be weary. If you’re not a sweaty/active person I totally see this working for you, otherwise, maybe save the $20

This really works! I have tried all of the well known brands, all of which have caused stinging and itchiness but not this! It’s amazing, it has stopped me sweating and doesn’t cause any itching or soreness. Highly recommend!

The product was delivered super fast. The packaging was completely damaged though. The outer packaging was fine, just the product’s box was smashed completely and the product was open and leaked as the pics. Haven’t tested the product yet. Packaging could be better for this price.
