Dove Clear Tone Deodorant

When I saw that Dove had come out with a deodorant to help fade dark spots in the underarm area,  I'll admit my first thought was " What ? Now they want us to worry about what our underarm skin looks like too ? It seemed a bit off. But because  I am beauty editor , I wanted to know more .

What I found is that there is a need for this. Apparently it's been available in Latin America  for some time and  a high percentage of women feel very self concious due to dark coloring under their arms.  According to Dove " Dark marks and irritation under the arms is something that more than 32 million women in the US experience "

When I went to Dove's web page to research, they had a thread there from their Facebook page. Many  of the women commenting were thrilled this was available and had issues with dark pigmentation. I had no idea.

 Clear Tone comes in 3 types including Clinical , which I have.  The others are Sheer Touch and Skin Renew.  One of the keys to keeping discoloration at bay is keeping that area well moisturized which this does, as most Dove deos do. Clear Tone  also uses calendula and sunflower seed extracts  to help brighten  skin and speed up the renewal process. No extra chemicals, nothing harsh.

 Available now at all mass market outlets.
