Old Spice Reviews

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.
