I've put up with this for 3 weeks now, there's something in Old Spice Red Zone that my armpits really hate. It burns for up to a couple hours after applying and ironically makes me persperate more. I want a refund or at least a different product but Old Spice requires the original receipt. Who else uses Old Spice? Do you like it? I'm going to call their customer service again on Monday, this is too much.

Wow, are you sure you don't want to wait another three weeks, just to be sure?

:shocked:


Seriously, when you put something on your skin and it burns, why do it again 20 times?

Apparently because he can read the back label far enough to get the contact info, but not far enough to read the part where it says "If rash or irritation occurs, discontinue use." :p

Nitpicky thing:

Red Zone is a deodorant and antiperspirant.

Maybe try a regular deodorant, without the latter component. That's probably what's causing the reaction. It's also what causes pit stains in clothing. Regular deodorant doesn't, or at least shouldn't cause these.

I use the old spice high endurance deodorants and maybe get a little burn when I just put it on, nothing major. Call old spice, tell them you took the high endurance challenge and failed.

I tried Michum and has a similar experience. After one application my armpits burned a bit, they got really dry and flakey. Then when I moved, they ripped and bled. Yeck. Took two weeks to heal.

Not a guy I am, however, try Degree "clinical" for men. Not a gel, but not a solid either.

If I'm not mistaken they'll replace it with a stick of your old brand at no charge if you arn't satisfied so you should actually do this.

I'm forced to be picky about my deodorant and I use Old Spice High Endurance Deodorant. I find it works quite well. You may want to try it.

I've heard this from multiple people, myself included. I only use anti-persperant and the old spice brand gives me a rash after a very short time of use and my arm pits are just a fvcking mess. There is something awful in that product and it is complete rubbish. No other brand does this to me.

I've been using Old Spice High Endurance for more than a year, but I've just started getting some irritation, so I'm in the market, too. :)

I don't think that's deodorant.
