Old Spice Reviews

My husband used his old spice deodorant for the first time and he had a burning sensation. The second time he used it, it left a chemical burn. We will be going to the doctor tomorrow.

My husband used Old Spice deodorant for the first time in years. He has burns that are red-purple under BOTH his armpits!! I looked online to see if I could find anything --- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Look at all theses complaints and people being BURNT!! I read one from 2009. What the heck --- They need to be sued. If anyone is taking action please let us know. Someone called them and told them --- they are doing NOTHING -- No company public notice saying, "Don't use it or return it." NO Pull from the shelves. NOTHING. I am going to find an attorney, this is blatant disregard for the well being of their customers.

I purchased the old spice body spray (hawkridge) today. I noticed directly after I applied the body spray to my body I received a stinging sensation. So I decided to Google it and I began notice that this is absolutely not anything new! It baffles me how this product, is still on the market. We pay good hard earned money for these product but they emphatically still allow it to be on the market! LUDICROUS!!!

Swagger Deodorant - So I just got home from my attorney's office. There is nothing he can do for me at this time considering the cost of the tests, etc. He did encourage me and the others on this thread that we should start a Class Action Suit. That would be the best way to go. Not only does Procter & Gamble get sued but the FDA also because of their lazy attitude with this! I have 1st and 2nd degree burns after visiting my doctor this morning. I was given Silverdine salve and Biaxum (antibiotic). The doctor is not sure if there is damage to my lymph nodes or if there is permanent skin damage. That being said, anyone know how to start this and who's on board??

Used Old Spice Swagger once and now I have a burn under my left arm pit. Always used Speed Stick. Got Old Spice Swagger for Christmas - just opened, brand new, used once and bam - piercing born pain in my arm. Thought I cut it or something taking a shower. Looked at it and pus, boils came out of it.

I used my husband's Old Spice Pure Sport Deodorant the other day. The following day I noticed my underarms being red and irritated. The left one has gradually got worse. I decided to Google what to do for an allergic reaction to deodorant. That's when I came across this website. I realized after reading the other posts that it's not an allergic reaction but most likely a chemical burn. I agree.. how can they be allowed to still sell this?!?! I'm glad I came across this. As of now, I'm not in severe pain and don't feel like I need to go to ER... but I will be calling my Dr asap! I will be throwing out the remaining Old Spice products we have and will be spreading the word on what a horrible product this is.

I recently bought old Spice Champion for the first time to try. After a week my arm pits began burning. Had major burning all around the armpits on both sides. Never had problem with any other deodorant ever. Very painful. Got pictures of burns if Old Spice needs proof? Something needs done!

I used this deodorant and instantly I noticed a burning sensation. Within a short time my armpits were so red and within a few hours I had burns caused by this deodorant. I have NEVER had a reaction to ANY other deodorant. This product should be pulled from the shelves and consumers reimbursed for their pain and suffering.

My husband has used Old Spice deodorant for years, the Swagger variety I believe, and it has worked and smelled great. So when it was on sale I bought a bunch of them to stock up since it's the only kind he uses. But as soon as he has opened a new bottle we noticed it has just quit working by noon. That is ridiculous. We tried it for about a week or two reapplying throughout the day. That is something that should not have to be done. They have obviously switched their product to make it cheaper and in doing this they are making it not work as is the case for my husband. And apparently they are also hurting people by rashes or chemical burns.

My son used Old Spice pure sport deodorant for the first time and experienced a burning sensations. He noticed that his armpits started blistering and began to turn dark purple/black in a circular ring, around the hairline underneath his armpits. He went to the hospital and was diagnosed with 1st degree chemical burns.

So I like Old Spice even though I'm a girl because it has a great long lasting scent. I lifeguard so I need a deodorant that can last long while I'm in the sun sweating. I had first tried Old Spice last year and had used the blue gel original. Later that day my armpits were itching and burning. I never used that one again. I wanted to try Old Spice again because I thought maybe it had been just that one kind and so I tried Bearglove (white kind) and the same thing happened! Even after I had showered and washed it off I was still itchy and in pain.

I started using the Old Spice body wash, so I decided to get the deodorant that matched the scent. After 2 days my armpits began chafing or so thought. I stopped using it and I tried to remember any recent events that would have lead to this but what I realized was that the deodorant was burning me. Both armpits, along the outside rim, were on fire. I mean ON FIRE!!! I had chemical burns that lasted about 2 weeks. They got worse each day for about a week after I stopped using the deodorant. The pain this item caused me was unbelievable.

I used Old Spice in a hurry one day while doing yard work and it was a big mistake! I felt a tingling on my right armpit for awhile then continued on with my day. Then the next day I woke up with a chemical burn with green puss coming out of it. It's day 7 now and the skin has become completely raw in two different spots. I've spent close to 50 dollars on different bandaging, tape and creams. I noticed that coconut oil started helping a little yesterday just keeping the area soft enough to move around at a some what normal pace.

I bought some Old Spice Swagger deodorant. I used it and noticed a little tingle but didn't give it much thought. The next day, I used it again and got a tingle, too, that got worse as the day went on. After a closer look, I had some burns. I discontinued use and guess what? No more burning but it hurt like you know what. I will never buy Old Spice again. They should have to meet certain codes because after I looked it up, evidently, a lot of people have had this problem. I think a good lawyer has enough evidence to make a good lawsuit. The deodorant and pictures is enough for me. Luckily, I had enough sense to stop using it.

I normally use Right Guard stick deodorant but my sister bought me Old Spice gel decoder. One day I was out of Right Guard and I decided to give old spice a try, even though I find gel deodorant to be sticky and uncomfortable. That day I did feel that my armpit had a tingling sensation. The next day I found that a stinging sensation was there, so I decided to not wear any deodorant at all.

Despite being a girly girl...I love the way Old Spice smells! And it doesn't leave my shirt all white! So about 2 weeks ago I started randomly using it. Not every day but here and there. Well, these bruise-like marks began showing up. It's been over a week since my last use and this is what they still look like. Not super painful but they are itchy and uncomfortable. Yikes! This is scary! Guess I'll go back to making my own.

My son decided to use Old Spice deodorant and ended up getting a severe burn. This is completely unacceptable and the company should be held to a standard just like any other consumer product.

I have used Speed Stick for years but decided to switch up and use Old Spice. The first day I used it I felt a itching sensation in my armpit so I figured it was mildly irritated so I threw it away going to go back to Speed Stick... not happening. My underarms are both completely burned. 1st and 2nd degree. Every day is getting worse and worse. I can't even sleep at night and it's turning black. I used it one day and this? I was horrified when I saw all the concerns and comments on the Internet. How has this company not been taken to court over this? I have attached pictures. I've been taking Benadryl and it's not even helping. I'm probably going to have to go to the ER and have them look at it. Something has to be done about this.

I usually use Speed Stick deodorant and I switched over just to try Old Spice. 2 weeks or so after using it, I start to see a rash surrounding my left armpit. I immediately stopped using the Old Spice deodorant after that. The rash was red at first then has been turning a dark purple/red color, also it burns every time I move. I'm super upset because Old Spice gets all these complaints and they like to play dumb. It's ridiculous.

Used Old Spice gel deodorant, next day had sore armpits. Next night used my phone so that I could see because I hadn't been able to shave because of soreness.. burnt and pus coming from one of the burns.

This morning I woke up and felt a sore under my arm pit so I took off my shirt and was like wtf, I had dry skin on both left and right side. I ran out of the deodorant I normally use so I started using my Old Spice deodorant that I had in the wash room mirror from before and I must had used it 2-3 times and I've never had armpits like this before - sore and ashy. Disappointed. (Got it from Shoppers Drug Mart who would have expected that.)

I have used Old Spice products for many years and have never encountered this problem. I applied Old Spice High Endurance Sport Gel to my underarms after showered and within minutes began feeling a burning sensation. It not only affected my underarms but my hands as well. I was very frustrated and can't believe Old Spice would release such a product. I know for a fact that it was the deodorant gel, not any other fragrance or chemical-based product I had used at that time.

Burning skin, overly pungent aroma, wheezing. I ran out of bar soap in the shower and found that my wife had purchased this product (Old spice Extreme body wash) in the vanity grabbed my loofah and scrubbed up, Big mistake! Very pungent and a burning sensation all over my skin. Toweled off and dressed. Started developing asthma symptoms, showered again with a sensitive skin non-fragrance bar soap my wife has for her face and the smell still has not dissipated. It has been six hours and I needed to use my rescue inhaler, ridiculously strong right into the garbage can, nasty stuff!

I used old spice deodorant for the first time and I used it for two days only. Started feeling my underarm getting tender as heck. And I looked and it was getting red. Went home, took shower to wash it off and never used it again. For 4 days later just continued to get worse, darker red and much more sorer. Started to look like a curling iron was stuck under my arm and ON and left for an hour to burn the arm pit. AWFUL. SO I then looked up on day two of my injury on the Internet and seen A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE experience the same outbreak. INSANE TO ME, nothing is being done about this!!!!

I too have been literally burned by Procter & Gamble's Old Spice crap and I am not letting them get away with it. I hope you selected an option to have an attorney contact you about this issue. Let's stop complaining and start taking action. Please respond with action steps to bring this to the nation such as bring it to the media and such. Talk to you soon.

I have been using Old Spice Pure Sport body spray for a decade and it has been fantastic. Recently, they changed the short stubby can to a tall can to match the newest line of animal inspired scents (Wolfthorn, etc.). However, they also changed the spray's formula and when I used the newest version of pure sport body spray, it took about 15 minutes and my armpits were burning like I had scraped them raw. I had experienced this a few years ago when trying to use the Old Spice Pure Sport deodorant stick, so I knew what was going on.

My wife got me an Old Spice deodorant stick 3 years ago. It had a fantastic fragrance, but I noticed a stinging sensation after a few days of use. When I looked under my arm I saw burns under my arms. I concluded that the product must have been adulterated. Some time this year, I saw an Old Spice deodorant stick (Classic) and I have used it for a month and I have not recorded any issue. This encouraged me to get the Old Spice Wolfthorn Deodorant spray, fantastic fragrance, but it has left my body burnt, with rashes breaking out all over. I wonder why P&G have not done anything about the volume of complaints on their products. This has to be looked into. I will never patronize the brand again.

My 14 year old granddaughter absolutely loves all of the new Old Spice products that have recently come out. In fact, she recently received several gift sets for Christmas. I noticed last week that her hair looked very nice and she told me she was using the Wolfthorn shampoo. So of course I tried it. I used it on Sunday night. All day Monday my face felt weird, dry, itchy. By Tuesday morning I woke up with swollen red eye lid and cheek on the right side of my face. Not knowing what it was from, thinking maybe I had eaten something I shouldn't have, I used the shampoo again Tuesday night. By Wednesday the rash had grown, by Friday morning it was on both sides of my face, burning, itching and my eyes were beginning to swell shut.

Old Spice Pure Sport Deodorant - This deodorant caused my fiance to have a serious rash in his armpit with a burning sensation and peeling blistering skin! Don't use this product as you can see from all the other comments on this site, it's a horrible product that should not be on the market!

I'm in Europe, I went to the supermarket and bought the new "Old Spice Whitewater." After using it for a couple of days I got bad armpit burns, the pain was killing me. The only solution is Aloe, painkillers and antibiotics. I'm lucky I bought travel insurance! Please stay away from Old Spice, I don't know how they let them sell these crappy products if there are so many complaints around the world.

Swagger deodorant - Only two days of use completely fried the skin under my arms. Excruciating at the least.

I used Old Spice Classic deodorant as a teenager for about 3 days. The first time I used it, I thought it was supposed to tingle a bit, but over the course of the next few days I developed a huge rash under each arm. It burned so bad I had to wash them in cold water and couldn't use deodorant until about 5 days later when it finally went away. Just out of curiosity, I put a cigarette lighter to it just to see what would happen. Low and behold it caught fire instantly and burned until I ran water over it. The blue deodorant stick contains denatured alcohol, which is highly flammable. It was another 10 years or so before I went near another Old Spice product. I tried the Champion antiperspirant (white stuff) and never had a problem. I currently alternate between Fiji, Swagger, Lionpride and the new Timber scents, and have had no trouble. I have come to the conclusion that the antiperspirants are much safer and more effective than the deodorant sticks.

I woke up two mornings ago with terrible pain in my armpits. I thought maybe I got sweaty in the night and had heat rash. Today, still in agonizing pain I looked up what could be the cause of my pain and immediately it popped up with old spice deodorant. I have been using old spice lately (as a woman) because I like the scent. But never again. I am a waitress and working with this has brought me terrible pain. For others experiencing this, tip number 1 - thrown out old spice. Tip number two, aloe Vera seems to be the only thing that helps the pain.

I ran out of my usual deodorant and found a container of Old Spice Deodorant in my bathroom closet. I was on my way to get a haircut so I applied it under my arms and scooted out the door. It wasn't long before I noticed a burning in my armpits. By the time I got home, I was in severe pain with dark red patches in both armpits. I promptly washed them out as good as possible, the whole time feeling as though someone lit them on fire. It has been six days now and both armpits are pussy and the skin has been coming off along with severe pain! I made sure I have documentation to back up my claims. This is **!!

About three days ago, I went to the gym after a hard day. I came home, took a shower, put on deodorant after the shower, and went to bed. The deodorant I used was Old Spice Matterhorn. It was a new tube, but I've used this brand for as long as it has been out. Previously, I've used other Old Spice tubes pretty much every day for more than 10 years without a problem. I did nothing differently. At about 4 in the morning, I woke up after dreaming my left shoulder and arm were on fire. I was in a cold sweat and noticed I was in actual agony even while awake. My left underarm was in excruciating pain of a kind I've experienced once before in my life: in 2009, I was admitted to Sunnybrook Hospital's burn ward for emergency invasive treatment of acid burns to my hands caused during a metal assaying accident. I know what a chemical burn feels like.

I have 1st and or 2nd degree burns right above the hairline of my left armpit from the deodorant, it is day 3 and the pain is getting worse. At first I thought it was just irritation, I googled old spice and found out that many people are suffering from the same thing. They need to take it off the damn shelf.

I have used Old Spice deodorant for years. The other day I tried Swagger and almost immediately I had a burning sensation under my left arm. I did not use it under my right arm as my left was burning so much. Later in the day my armpit was burning so much I decided to take my shirt off and see what was going on. I could not believe what I was seeing. The area was bright red and there was a whitish substance in my armpit. Taking a shower did not ease the discomfort but did get the white pus out of my arm pit. Today I have difficulty in raising my arm and still have the whitish substance. I decided to go online to see if there was some information about burns and was very alarmed by the complaints regarding Old Spice deodorants with the same symptoms as mine. I will not be using anything made by Old Spice in the future. There is an obvious problem with this product and it needs to be taken care of.

I bought Old Spice for my boyfriend. He used it and then started complaining about his armpits hurting. Long story short his armpit skin burned off and I had to get ointments to help the scabbing. It healed. No thinking about anymore after that until my nephew who I bought the same product for just came to me complaining about the same type of soreness and I see redness in his armpits. I told him to discontinue use after I just googled all these other complaints.

I have been using old spice for years and I love the older line of the old spice. I tried using the newer old spice line and it does not work as well and it also makes my underarm sore. It gives me a little burning feel with some redness. I would never use the newer items again but i do still use the older old spice from time to time because that to me is the best kind out there. However, since I found out that a lot of deodorants have Aluminum Zir something in it, I have been making my own deodorants from scratch. Aluminum that is in old spice along with most other deodorants has been linked to all kinds of health problems (from what I found). Because of this, I have cut back on my store bought deodorants just to be on the safe side. However, if old spice does make a more natural deodorant I would be more than happy to buy some as long as my underarms don't burn.

On Friday, 10/24/14, after running out of my usual deodorant, I decided to use my husband's Old Spice gel stick deodorant (He normally uses another brand anyway). In less than 12 hours after that horrible mistake, I have suffered 1st-degree chemical burns to both of my armpits, which are very painful, and at times unbearable! It has already been 4 days, and the redness, swelling and burning pain have only gotten worse, causing me physical disability. I cannot live my life as usual right now because Old Spice refuses to take responsibility for their product. When I called them yesterday, I was asked a series of questions and offered a $5.00 check. Can you believe the nerve?!?

I have used Old Spice for a while now and haven't had many issues with it. Occasionally I would experience some itching in my armpits after applying Old Spice High Endurance Deodorant. I didn't worry about it because I thought it was my shirt bothering me. About two days ago I felt the itching sensation again. Again I didn't worry about it. The next morning I woke up with an extreme burning sensation in my underarms. It got to a point where I could hardly lift my arm. I noticed the skin in my armpits was starting to peel off so I started applying Johnson and Johnson First Aid Cream for minor cut and burns. This soothed the pain a little but it still wasn't bearable. I have heard that itch creams like cortisone help so I will try it out. It has been three days and still no improvement. I'm through with Old Spice Products for good. :(

Old Spice Swagger Deodorant - Use of this product caused 1st and 2nd degree burns to my underarms.

I have been using old spice swagger for at least a few years and love the smell. All of a sudden a few days ago I got a circular rash that burned very bad under both pits. Just like the other articles, hurt so bad couldn't even open my arms too wide. went to the dermatologist and he said off the bat it was from my deodorant which i questioned since I had been using it for a long time. I stopped using and he gave me a steroid cream so hopefully takes care of it. I need to take pics and post them but they look exactly the same as the others. I thought i had ring worm or yeast infection at 1st.

I'd use Old Spice deodorant from time to time and it would give me a little mild irritation - the island/mountain series. I went to using the antiperspirant and had little irritation. After a few months I tried the deodorant again and now I am in agony. Really bad burn.

I am a regular Old Spice Lime deo consumer. Recently I bought the new Lime Deo of Old Spice. The smell of this new deo is not only bad but also causing headache. It is different from the old lime deo. I think I have been cheated and request the company to revert back to old formula for this product to win back customers.

I usually buy 2 deodorant sticks at a time and it is always the old spice swagger brand. I have been a customer for years with no bad experience. I recently opened and started using a new stick. I didn't feel anything at first as I was in a rush to get somewhere. While driving I felt an itchy tingling sensation. I thought nothing of it and figured it was normal, kinda how mint gives a cool tingle freshness. I got to my destination and was sitting in a chair and my armpits had become constantly itchy. I couldn't take it anymore, I thought it was my shirt irritating my armpits or something. So I went to the bathroom and took my shirt off to look and see what was happening. I saw large area of redness, I thought it was an allergic reaction or something. Keep in mind I am 25 years old, and I have never experienced an allergic reaction to anything, not even during allergy season and not even when using straight chlorine to clean my pool deck.

I have been using Old Spice for years and recently I wore a new stick and 10 hrs under my arm and it gave me such a bad chemical burn it actually scarred my armpit. It is almost healed now but still hurts a lot and this is the second time. At first I hadn't suspected my deodorant because it was only one pit but after a reoccurrence I now know it to be Old Spice deodorant.

I have used Old Spice in the past and usually alternate between brands. I have not previously had any negative experiences with this product until 9/24. I used the product on 9/23 the day before and woke up the following morning with burning pain under my arms. I went to the bathroom to have a look and noticed my skin was red & in fact raw in some spots on the top & bottoms of my armpits on both arms. No other brand of deodorant has given me this experience. After I stopped using the product my pain has ceased finally 7 days later and is almost completely healed.

They changed the formula to blue from red, and now it stinks. I used it and loved it and now I think I'll just quit bathing. I feel violated and ripped off. Did I just get a phony from Wally World? I pray. They blew it and I'm pissed off. Container faded red pump, and soap blue not red and fragrance stinky and weak. Did they move to China or Mexico?

Like every other review here. I used the Old Spice 'High Endurance, Fresh.' A day or so later I started to experience my skin 'peeling' off under my arms. Then boom. Big red burns under my arm pits. I've been using Old Spice products for years. Have never experienced anything like it. It's like a bad 'batch' of deodorant. I have been unable to work in comfort, eat, sleep, every normal day tasks I can't complete. Thanks everyone else for posting in here as well. I've been looking for answers and finally found a few!

I've been using Old Spice Classic since I was a kid (my dad used it) and when they created the new stuff I was happy until I found out the new stuff doesn't work on me like the classic. I could literally put it on and I could go for 3 days without stink but the new stuff was leaving me stinky by the end of the day. Well now the classic isn't doing its job anymore and I'm quite sure they've changed the formula. Bummer after All these years (I'm 47). It just doesn't work like it did. It’s a conspiracy to get us to buy the new stuff by making it like the new stuff. If you go to buy it there's two classic smells and fifty of the new stuff. I'm so frustrated with this since I've had my wife and lady friends say I smell good. But now I've got to find a new deodorant because it simply doesn't work anymore.

One of my friends wears Old Spice deodorant (I believe it is one of the high endurance or swagger flavors). I felt very rude asking him not to wear it at my house anymore cause, but I had no choice as I cannot tolerate the smell. The smell is so strong that it lingered in my house for hours after my friend was gone. When I am near someone who is wearing this toxic deodorant I have constant recurring thoughts of blowing my brains out. While I don't recommend using this product as intended, it may be useful as a pesticide, chemical warfare, or to torture device..

I used this years ago when it first came to market as I got it for a Christmas present. I had no idea that red zone meant it would burn my armpits into red zones as it did. It hurt like hell for 2 weeks after I used the deodorant and I could hardly move my arms because of it. There has to be a chemical in it that burns your skin as it was really bad like I had poured boiling water under my armpits. I'll never ever buy Old Spice brand products ever again!

The Old Spice original deodorant I used before was having the original smell, which was manufactured by Rubicon formulations Pvt Ltd, Waluj and was priced 150 rs but now the same old spice original deodorant I'm using was charged 180 rs and the smell is different. Not like Old Spice original and manufactured at Midas Care Pharma, Waluj. I'm very angry and I have bought the old and new from the same store. Please ans, I'm not satisfied with this product. I have been using Old Spice original for near a decade. Now I'm using Axe chocolate. I have kept the Old Spice original bottle but I miss the original, where can I buy it? I'm also scared that, will it smell like original? So please check.

Are all the complaints about Old Spice deodorants based on the HIGH ENDURANCE styles? I have used Old Spice Fresh Scent (NON-high endurance style) for 20 years and never had a problem. And lately I have been using their new Belize scent antiperspirant with no issues. Just wondering, because I have shied away from their HIGH ENDURANCE brands ever since they introduced them because I don't like any of the scents, they all seem to have way too strong an odor for me. Maybe I'm lucky I didn't try them.

To anyone that has used Old Spice and has been burned by it read this article to help it go away. I recently went swimming and found the next day my arm in pain with a tender red ring. I ignored it and thought it would go away. My arm got worse and I could not lift it because of the pain. I thought it was a ring worm a fungi so I used lotion and a fungi cream to help. All that did was made it bearable. I finally just put regular neosporin (spell check) it has been two days. My dead broken skin is healed and I can move it much more freely with some extent.

After using Old Spice for quite some time, I switched to their deodorant/antiperspirant. Within 2 days, I have a horrible chemical burn under my arms - which I notice is already starting to blister. I am in extreme pain and extremely dissatisfied with your product. Hopefully this will heal within a timely manner, but if any serious medical bills and/or scarring will occur - I will be reaching out to my lawyer. With this amount of complaints, I am truly shocked nothing has been done. STAY AWAY!

I used old spice swagger 1 time. The next day I started to break out in rash so I applied rash ointment. Then I noticed my skin was starting to come off and it was really red and raw. After I realized it was just getting worse I decided to go to ER and that's when I was told it was not a rash from deodorant but a chemical burn. They prescribed a cream but it is not looking any better. It is in fact bleeding now. I am disgusted with the many complaints I've read that are similar to mine and can not believe this deodorant is still being sold!! Anyone know of any lawsuits against company?

I have been an Old Spice customer for years, and I have never had an issue with their product before. I recently bought a new batch of stick deodorant from them, and this morning was my first time using it. As soon as it touched my skin, I began to feel an uncomfortable itching and burning. Twenty minutes later, I arrived at work and the sensation started to get much worse. I went into the bathroom and used a wet towel to try to remove the deodorant, but had only moderate success. As I write this, the burning continues. An angry red rash has formed in my armpits, and nothing I've tried so far has been able to soothe the pain. I have a getaway planned this weekend for my girlfriend's birthday, and we're supposed to leave tomorrow morning. I can't wait to explain the sexy, bright red welts under my arms to her. Thanks Old Spice.

Almost word for word experience and rash from the referenced brand of Old Spice. We don't have Obama Care-less, so it makes us angry that we have to seek medical attention for this problem. My husband has used Old Spice several times in the past. Something seriously wrong with this chemical burn batch!

Applied old spice, pure sport high endurance deodorant and have used the product in the past with no issues. Recently I developed severe chemical burns that are painful. Seems as if they have a bad batch or new formula. This is ridiculous how bad it burns you.

Used Old Spice antiperspirant and body wash for 15 yrs, no problems. Went on vacation over 4th of July and used the Wolfthorn regular deodorant stick and started to burn a couple days later from using it. Tried Gold Bond to keep it dry, didn't work... used straight aloe and it helped for a day but after one day when I applied aloe, it felt as though there was a blowtorch under my arm for 20 min. Went to E.R., and they tried to give me expensive creams to try. Went to dermatologist and she told me Vaseline only on the open wound and put me on steroids and antibiotics and swabbed puss for testing.

I've used Old Spice Pure Sport High Endurance for a couple years now and have been a loyal customer. Recently, I began feeling a burning sensation in my armpits which turned into open sores. I thought I was having an allergic reaction to something but not sure what since I haven't made any changes in any of the personal care products or detergents in our household. I started doing some research and realized others were having the EXACT SAME problem and have pictures of the same type of burns/sores! BUYER BEWARE!

I have never used Old Spice deodorant before but I got it free so I thought why not. It was Old Spice Swagger. I really enjoyed the smell but after a few days of wearing it, my underarms were very painful. I have burns under both arms. The left armpit is worse but both have burns. It's been 6 days since I used any Old Spice and I haven't been able to wear any kind of deodorant for that matter. It is very painful to raise my arms or even wear a shirt or bra. I have been absolutely miserable for almost a week...

I am writing this note from Europe. After a decade or so, OLD SPICE brand has been introduced here again. After two weeks of using OLD SPICE DEODORANT, my skin is burned and is not healing well, not to say, it is healing very slow, rashes and aches. As it has never happened to me before, I was surprised when I saw all negative comments about OLD SPICE from the users in the States for at least a decade available on internet. Is P&G aware of this problem? How come FDA issued a Safety Sheet for this product?

My son used the Old Spice Aqua Reef. He developed painful sores and blisters on armpits. It burned really bad. He has a history of MRSA and I was concerned how it looked. I took him to the doctor and said it looked like some kind of burn. She put him on Bactrim and steroid cream as well as Silvadene. His armpits hurt so bad he can barely lift his arms. The skin is peeling in some areas. This is extremely painful. Do not use OLD SPICE!!!!

After 3 days of use, Old Spice High Endurance Pure Sport burnt my arm pits so bad I had to use prescribed burn cream for serious burns. This is the worst pain ever. Still several days later after using the medication the burns are still not healing. I'm a personal trainer and had to cancel my clients because I can't even put my arms down or wear a shirt because it rubs my already raw skin. All pictures shown are each a couple days apart... still not healing!!

Do not use this product. I have been using Old Spice deodorants for years. I recently switched to using the "after hours." I had never had issues with Old Spice deodorant before, until I use their "after hours" product. I have developed what I thought to be a rash, but it looks too bad to be just a rash. From the other reviews, it looks to be a burn. 2nd or 3rd I'm not sure. I'm thinking of going to the doctor, and consulting with a lawyer. I have stopped using this product, and I will never use their deodorants again. I have been in a lot of pain. I have had this rash for a week now. It hurts all the time and it burns. I am not happy with Old Spice at all.

I FINALLY found something that worked AWESOME in Ga heat. Then found blisters under/between my breasts as well as in my armpits. As I took a recent pic to post here, I found I'm BRUISED under my breasts! THIS MAKES ME FURIOUS! WHAT'S DOING THIS?!

I purchased Old Spice high endurance deodorant at the beginning of 2014 because I was working out of town and forgot to pack my regular deodorant. I never used this stuff before and this is all they had. Used it a few times only. Till I could find my regular stuff. Came back home and had ran out. Apparently on the hair is ok but direct contact with skin cause a burn equivalent to a 2nd degree burn with blisters. The pain is a constant 6 and in the shower when washing causes a 10 pain level to the point where my arm shakes uncontrollably for until I'm done cleaning it with cold water only.

After using Old Spice Swagger and Pure Sport deodorants on four different occasions, my son's armpits broke out in what appeared to be a deep burn. This is extremely painful and his arms could not be lifted even shoulder high. The last time he used this deodorant this happened within a minute of using the deodorant. This is deep red and takes weeks to go away and I am pretty sure that this has scarred my son's armpits. When this happens, he can not even use deodorant.

I've used Old Spice deodorant for years and then all the sudden my armpits started to burn the blister. I stopped using the product about three days ago and my armpits are still pretty bad! If they don't show any improvement in the next day, I'm headed to the ER! So I'd like to give a big shout out to Old Spice for burning my pits.

Your product BURNED the crap out of my skin !! I've taken pictures and am going to see a doctor about this. If this permanently marks me, trust me you will be hearing from my lawyer... In EXTREME pain and is EXTREMELY pissed off customer.

I have been an Old Spice user for years. First, the Classic, and then in the last several years, the High Endurance deodorant. However, I recently tried the "Wolfthorne" scent in a travel size and, after two days use, have what appear to be chemical burns under both armpits. If they don't improved in a day or two, I will be seeing a doctor. Not sure if they have a bad batch or what, but I sure won't be using any of the new scents they have, and am seriously considering switching altogether.

I have been using OS for years. The original white kind anti-perspirant/deodorant. I recently bought an all red stick of OS with the blue clear gel. First day of use, felt extreme burning and itching under my arms. Second day same thing. Upon further inspection, the product actually made my skin peel off, similar to a sunburn. It has taken two days to get back to normal.

I have been using Old Spice Fiji deodorant for about 8 months now. But just around 4 days ago, I woke up around 3 a.m. with burning pain in my armpits. I had thought it was normal because Old Spice had always made my armpits tingle a little bit whenever I used it. Well, I get up out of bed around 5 a.m. and look in the mirrors to see why my armpits were burning so bad and I found that I had large and VERY raw patches of skin under my armpits. It hurts to even move my arms to get something out of the cabinet. It has been four days and the burns won't heal. They are raw and even sticky/gooey. I went online and even to my family doctor and found out that I had been left with second degree chemical burns. I won't be using Old Spice any longer.

Put Old Spice deodorant at 8am and two hours after felt a burning sensation under my arm. By 11pm, my wife took a look and said, "It looks like a burn," and she took a picture of my underarm.

Been using Old Spice high endurance dry cream for about 7 yrs now. It has a fresh smell that I just can't get enough of and I really like how it smells so minty w/out being too cloying. I've tried couple of deodorants like nivea, axe, dove etc., but they all seem to stain my undershirts and at times give me wet underarms. But lately I'm noticing that this brand is starting to give me wet underarms too. Even if I am doing no physical activity at all and just sitting down, after around 30 min sweat marks have gone through my shirt. It can be embarrassing at times and I get a little conscious about it. Idk, Perhaps it's just because of the change in climate. Does anybody know if there has been a change in formulation? Thanks!

This is my first experience using an Old Spice product. For roughly the previous 10-12 years, I've used A Gillette gel product with zero problems. For no reason in particular, I decided to try Old Spice Fresh. Well, if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Feeling a burn nearly from first contact, I naively thought it was supposed to burn, hence the name Old SPICE. After 3-4 days of feeling increasing discomfort, I looked at my pits in the mirror. To my shock, there were visible burn marks. Figuring I was just having an allergic reaction, I turned to Al Gore's internet to look for a remedy from the pain. That is when I discovered this thread.

I have been using Old Spice for a few years now and never had a problem until recently. I bought Bearglove just to change things up a bit and after about a week I started getting a bad rash under my arms. I noticed it 4 days ago and it has gotten much worse. It's very red, irritated, and oozing a gross liquid. My girlfriend said it looked like a burn. We googled it and there have been a lot of complaints on this brand. I went to a walk in clinic connected to a hospital and they classified it as contact dermatitis and that was all they could confirm without running tests on me.

I've experienced the same burning and irritating rash from Old Spice Classic. And I'm not generally a sensitive skin person. Here are 2 links to help, one that shows how bad denatured alcohol (which is the #1 ingredient in OSC) is for your skin. The other to show how stearyl alcohol (used in Mennen Speed Stick) is good for your skin. **

I used Old Spice Deodorant for less than 5 days, approximately 3-4 applications when my wife noticed red and peeling skin under my armpits. I told her it was painful and irritated and felt like it was burning. I had already stopped using this deodorant the day before this when I noticed a burning feeling in this area and swelling and soreness. It has now been two weeks, I still have some swelling and redness. I wish I would have taken a picture right when it was first occurring. It is looking better, but it is still swollen and I am still unable to wear deodorant. My wife is suggesting if it is not looking better in a few days I need to see a doctor. I have advised my son to stop using this product as well and will be happy to be on a class action lawsuit if anyone is interested. This product should be off the shelves after seeing what it is doing to people. I thought it was my sensitive skin. I'm glad my wife googled it and am learning so much more. I'm pretty sure my armpits will be scarred from this.

I applied Old Spice "Champion" under each arm on the afternoon of May 3, 2014. Within a few hours, I had started to feel a burning sensation under each arm. I checked in a mirror and saw both armpits were real red. I figured my skin was sensitive or allergic to something in the deodorant, though I had never had any kind of reaction to any deodorant brand in the past. By that night, the area had reddened a great deal and was now real painful. The next day, we had a 16-hour car ride home and my arms were extremely painful, enough so that even driving made me miserable. It was not until we got home and I took off my shirt that we then saw just how much my arms had worsened.

I've used Old Spice Bearglove for a couple days and I've started to notice a burning sensation under my armpit. I use Old Spice Belize and as far as I can remember, I never felt a burning sensation. I felt like I wasn't the only one with this problem so I search and I found this site, and I found that I wasn't the only. After reading some review, I went to check my armpit to check if I had severe burns like some of you. I notice I had dark and red spots under my armpit. Then I looked up the ingredients and I found most of the ingredient have an acidic property, but one that sticks out the most is propylene glycol. It has a high acidic content. It has acetic acid. It is classified as a weak acid, when concentrated it is corrosive and can attack the skin. Propionaldehyde is another potentially hazardous substance.

I used Old Spice Original and Swagger. What happen next was crazy. My Skin burned from the inside out. It left me with 2nd degree chemical burn.

I've been using Old Spice deodorant (NOT antiperspirant) for at least 25 years. I recently tried the new scent called Wolfthorn and began experiencing burning armpits, especially within 3 hours of application. I love the scent but am going to have to stop using it now. Did I get a bad batch or has the recipe been changed or what?

My husband bought Old Spice soap and I used it since it was the only soap around. My skin ended up getting burnt from the soap.

I usually use the Old Spice Fiji deodorant in the opaque white top, which is a solid-type and, unfortunately, rubs off on dark clothing. I tried the one in the red top (same brand and scent) that isn't supposed to leave residue. The first time using it I developed a burn on both underarms. Thinking it was a fluke, I tried it again a few days ago. Same result. Extremely painful and resembles a 2nd degree burn. Out of curiosity, I Googled this problem and noted multiple complaints of the same occurrence. Whatever Old Spice is putting in this deodorant is hazardous, and like the majority of the others I'm going to consult an attorney.

I'm really mad about what Old Spice did to my arm pits. They’re burned to the 2nd degree. I think Old Spice needs to reconsider taking this off the market. It was so bad that I had to write a review. Don't ever buy any Old Spice unless you want this to happen to you.

For the last 30 years, I've tried every brand of deodorant there is. Degree, Right-guard, Mitchum, Speed stick, you name it. I like trying different brands and scents, and I always have. I've never had a problem before with any brand. For the first time ever, I decided to try Old Spice. I bought a Wolfthorn and Bearglove. I used one on one day, and the other on the next day. After two days of use, I woke up in incredible pain, with a burning soreness coming from under my arms. I couldn't even touch it. I went to the bathroom, and this is what I found. I WILL be consulting an attorney about this. Men: BEWARE. These people are putting some type of hazardous chemical in their product that burns skin. This is clearly a chemical burn, not an allergic reaction.

I have used OS for some time but I developed a red, almost like a burn area under my armpit. My son-in-law had the same experience. It was fine for a long time and then this large red area appeared and is very sore.

10/13/13 - Caused 2nd degree, weeping burns on my non-verbal autistic son's underarms. Burns did not appear until third day of use so I had no idea. Applying deodorant is part of his routine so he did not resist but behaviors escalated slightly, until today when he was afraid I was going to apply deodorant. Warnings on labels are only effective when someone knows or can tell you something is happening. This is a chemical burn by a product, not an allergic reaction. I will be looking into starting a class action lawsuit.

I have been using Old Spice since before my teens. All of a sudden, I start getting what looks like ringworm every time I use it. Now I don't know if I can even use the aftershave.... I have read others have a burn/breakout from it too. Someone should get to the bottom of this & fast.... Why is it starting to harm us NOW?

I purchased Old Spice Denali Deodorant for my 17 year old son... Moments after putting it on, he began to burn. After washing it off within 30 minutes, we noticed he had burned all round his armpits. By morning he was blistered and rush in to see the Doctor. The doctor said he had never seen it this bad! 2nd degree burns to both armpits. This was 6 days ago and he still can't raise his arms and is badly blistered and red. The Doctors say it could be weeks of medication before he is healed up enough to raise his arms. Shame on this company for making such a horrible product. We researched and this has happened to thousands of people. I will never buy again!!!

I recently purchased two of "the new look" Old Spice Smooth Blast. l went to turn the screw on the bottom to make the stick come out. I couldn't turn it, thinking maybe it was an easy mistake on the maker's part. I opened the second one; the same happened but this one moved enough so I could use it. Deodorant is not bad; container is junk. I have had many products gone wrong and never complained, but this one will never be purchased by me again. It's not user friendly. I will send them back to Procter and Gamble.

Old Spice Swagger causing a burn - I bought one of those big gift packs yesterday and decided to try the Swagger deodorant. Much to my surprise, it burned pretty bad and left a burn mark. It's crazy.

I always buy deodorant when it is on sale and usually, I buy four at a time. I recently purchased four Old Spice deodorants from Albertsons for my son who is 18 years old. He showered and put on the deodorant and within an hour, my son had severe pain and burning in his armpits. After another shower, I looked in his armpits and they were very red. He did not reapply the deodorant; however, by morning, the whole top layer of his skin was burned off and it looked as if his armpit skin had literally peeled off in a round circle. It was awful. It took 2 weeks for his armpits to heal.

I have been using Old Spice products for 40 years now and I recently bought a product, "Playmaker." After one shower, that product broke my skin out in hives and itching that was unbelievable! I gave the unused portion to a friend, thinking maybe my skin was too sensitive, but no, the same thing happened to my friend after one shower using this product.

I have horrible burns in my armpits from their product (Old Spice).

After using Red Zone Old Spice Swagger on one application, I began to experience intense burning. I have red burns under my arms and currently, I cannot wear any deodorant of any kind due to the pain and irritation until my underarm skin heals. I cannot tolerate wearing any deodorant until my skin completely heals from the burn which occurred after using Old Spice Swagger.

I am in my middle eighties and have been using Old Spice After Shave for more years than I can remember. I finished a bottle the other day and bought another. But it does not smell the same at all, making me wonder if it was spoiled (I have had that happen occasionally with other brands). My wife wrinkled up her nose as her response to a sample. This bottle, which was boxed, was Canadian in origin, something I have never before seen. I cannot use the product. It smells to high heaven. Do I take it back to the drugstore or will you replace it?

After using the deodorant a couple of times, I experienced a slight burning throughout the day. After I recently used it (9/14), I noticed a red ring around my armpits. Today (9/17), they have gotten so bad that it looks like they are starting to puss. It is the most uncomfortable pain and nothing that I do will help ease it. I have yet to go to the doctor, but I intend to go this following Monday. This is possibly the worst deodorant I have ever bought.

On Sunday August 29, I applied Old Spice Deodorant. The rest of the day, I felt a slight burning on my under arms but I did not think anything of it since I had used Old Spice before and also felt a slight burn. The next morning I woke up, took a shower, and realized that my armpits were burned. The burns continued to get worse and on Wednesday, September 1, I finally went in for medical treatment. I was prescribed a burn cream that is used for people who experience serious burns. I have looked up information online and there are several stories of people who had chemical burns when using Old Spice. When I contacted Old Spice, I was told that the product I used was expired which is weird since there is not an expiration date on the product. It has been one week and I am still unable to lift my arms. I still have the burn marks and I have pictures from Tuesday of the burns. Do not use this product.
