Coupon for $2 off Dove’s New Visibly Smooth Deodorant


Get a $2 off coupon for Dove’s new Visibly Smooth Deodorant. It conditions your underarm skin right away and over time will make your underarm hair less noticeable.

I was lucky enough to be selected to participate in Dove’s Real Beauty Dove Campaign. Last month they sent me Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth antiperspirant deodorant in a lovely wild rose scent. This deodorant is different as it contains a unique Pro-Epil Complex that over time will make your underarm hair softer and finer. Since I have only been using it for a week I can’t say I’ve noticed a huge difference as far as hair is concerned but I will say that it works great at controlling wetness and odor! I’m always scared to try a new brand, afraid it won’t work, but this is a new favorite. As Dove says, “Confidence is Beauty.”
