Not your typical powder- or floral-scented deodorant, this Degree solid stick instead has a unique, fresh mint and eucalyptus fragrance. “This deodorant immediately stood out for its neutral, almost spa-like aroma that’s not overly feminine or masculine,” says one GH beauty editor. “Plus, it works and doesn’t irritate my underarms, which can be sensitive to some formulas.” A few GH editors commented that the cap was tricky to take off, however.

A GH Beauty Award winner, Dove’s popular aluminum-free deodorant has gone sustainable in sleek refillable packaging that aims to reduce plastic waste. The case even comes with a lifetime guarantee.“One of the best product launches I’ve seen in my career and definitely prevents malodors,” says Birnur Aral, Ph.D, executive director of the GH Institute Beauty Lab. Danusia Wnek, a chemist in the Beauty Lab, agrees: “I am blown away by this product — it’s the only deodorant without antiperspirant that’s kept me smelling good all day long and feels light.” (Be aware that this formula is solely a deodorant and not an antiperspirant, so it does not prevent sweating.) In addition to long-lasting odor blockers, it’s packed with moisturizing ingredients for softer skin.
