This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

They took the place of the powder fresh ~ bad move! the cool dry (like sandpaper) and gel (makes you wet for hours) are horrible products and the powder fresh (when you could find it) was fabulous! I would buy a case of the powder fresh if I could find it... the other stuff is garbage! I have been a loyal customer for more than 15 years...

Beware!

Sincerely,
Pamela.

I'm trying to find out where I may purchase the solid Mitchum product. My son had such a body odor until I introduced him to Mitchum. I have been using Mitchum for years and love it.

The biggest problem is, he and I to prefer the solid to the gel. It last longer and neither of us have been unable to find any place that carries the solid.

I realize the gel is a new product but why not offer both to your loyal customers. Do we not count or do we have to take what you give? That may hurt your business when the consumers' is no longer valued!

I trust you will help me out here.

Thanks for taking the time to read this input and question.

I have used Mitchum products for years. Lately I have noticed all my white tops are turned yellow in this arm pit. I wore a brand new top of periwinkle blue and it took all the color out of the arm pits. I noticed when packing my sweater away for the winter, it has taken the color out of them also. The exact brand I have used is Mitchum for Women Clear Gel, Shower Fresh.

I just purchased for women Mitchum Cool Dry unscented Invisible Solid and it is the hardest things I ever tried to apply, it crumbles all over the place, and is very hard. I have used this product before and never had these kind of troubles, any ideas smb?

I have been using Mitchum for Women Shower Fresh Clear Gel for a number of years and have loved the product. A few months ago, for the first time since I've used Mitchum, I noticed that I could smell my underarm perspiration. Having recently changed my diet to become healthier, I could not understand what was going on. I generally drink 2 or more litres of water a day which should be a good thing. The weather has also not been hot. I was convinced that my body was trying to tell me something. Then yesterday, I visited a friend and saw that she had taken my advice and was also using Mitchum for Women Shower Fresh Clear Gel (she previously used the Mitchum for Women roll-on). I asked her how she finds the product and was amazed to hear that she has been smelling her underarm perspiration too. Surely this can't be a co-incidence (I hadn't yet mentioned the subject)? I'm beginning to wonder whether a particular batch was faulty? I recently finished the 'ineffective' product and started a new one ... and it seems to be working properly again. I'm really puzzled. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Oh, and I want to contact the consumer services to speak to them, but can't find a local contact number or email address. It only has USA details. I live in South Africa. Who should I contact? Any ideas?

I was looking for a replacement deodorant due to the fact that I was using a roll-on product that left my clothes with a white powder residue on it. I decided to purchased Mitchum Power Gel sensitive skin for women and it turned out to be horrifically worse! The application of it was fine however, after it had dried it proceeded to crumble and flake in mass quantity not only leaving the sides of my black top largely covered in what resembled a grated gel candle but discoloured my skin a matt white! It continued to do this for about an hour regardless of the multiple times I brushed the 'crumbs' off my clothes and tried to remove the product from my skin. Disgusting.

hi, i have started using mithcum 3 weeks ago, and i must confess that i am not pleased with the product. when i use in the morning while the temperatures are cool, i don't sweat under my arms and it dries up quickly, but now when i use during the day when the temperatures are hot, i just sweat under my arms and its so irritating, though there is no bad odour, i just hate the wet armpits.

I will not be buying any Mitchum anti-perspiration again. I use the roll on and it is not working. In fact I stink more with it on! A friend of mine is having the same experience. I also live in South Africa - Durban! - and have found it extremely frustrating not to be able to contact a local customer-care service. If Mitchum has changed the formula or a bad batch was distributed to SA, you have lost me as a consumer. I am not prepared to pay premium price for bottled sweat!

Just had enough of this messy runny gel stick. Messing all over the place. What is it with not even being able to get hold of Mitchum..and we must pay top dollar for there product. At the time when it was a perfect product I did not mind paying good money for it. Now... I am sorry.. they will have to come to the party and either replace it the old formula or refund all our money for the last 12 to 24 months. Not to mention the clothing that got messed up over the years. Mitchum. a no reply from you at all the previous complaint just mean you don't care at all. So another loyal customer of your product will no longer invest in your company...unless you comment on this page and explain what went wrong and explain how this issue will be resolved.

I have been using Mitchum for many years, the solid white anti perspirant(now not available) using the gel. I was horrified when my brand new shirt
was ruined under the armpits due to total discolouration (bleached). My daughter read the label with ingredients and I was even more horrified to find out it contains Hydrogen Peroxide ! Let alone the embarrassment suffered in public.

As a long time user of Mitchum deoderant I am extremely disappointed that the aerosol I bought last week is now unable to be used due to the cap / nozzle no longer pressing down - and a virtually FULL can of deoderant being wasted. Mitchum isnt the cheapest deoderant, and it has now put me off buying Mitchum in the future.

Don't get me wrong I love Mitchum solid not the gel so much. But it breaks off all the time and I feel like I'm loosing product that isn't cheep. When I open it sometime it just crumbles it's not hard it's still soft to use. Is there anything I can do to stop this issue.

It's my first time using the product and I really like it however I'm not sure if my can is faulty. I bought two cans and even when you can tell there's still quite a bit in it they just won't spray...feels like a waste

This product claims to leave no white mark but it appears to have ruined my new shirt. I just arrived at work and looked down to see what look like bleach marks all under the arms. What compensation do you offer? Not happy. Can you please get back to me as this seems to be severely misleading advertising.

I bought this item from a local supermarket and now unable to use it as the spray element won't work and it is a full bottle. This is asking for 350 words but it is a simple complaint so I am unsure what else to write, this is money wasted and I would like a refund!

I'm very disappointed that this is the fifth time I've had to complain about this deodorant I've purchased. I've gone to turn the top to use and nothing comes out. The deodorant is not cheap and this time I find myself so annoyed I am seeking recompense. I'd be grateful if you could get back to me asap regarding this. Many Thanks

This product has a very strong scent. It used to be truly unscented but to continue to label it this way is absolutely untrue. i purchased a 3 pack from Amazon. I do not know why this product was changed but it really is false advertising.

There appears to be an issue with the turning device on the bottom of the application. It splits then starts to break away around the edges of the centre. This is the fourth time this has happened.

My son doesn’t use any other deodorant only Mitchum as this is the only make that works for him! Was appalled at the amount that came out of the package unused! This is getting very expensive to use now, and to see this much waste, is our money down the drain! Please sort out your product making! 17g wasted!
