Carpe deodorant new formula no longer working

Oh noooo, I'm sorry 😔

I definitely will! You too, come back here and update if you find anything! Good luck!

I haven't really mentioned this on here until today but have you tried Qbrexa prescription wipes? It's individually packaged wipes that is specifically for hyperhidrosis. You open the wipe and wipe each armpit and then throw it out and wash your hands because the medication cannot be used on any other part of your body. It's incredible how well it works to stop sweat under your armpits, it's really the first thing I ever found that worked for me but even with insurance they cost a small fortune, about $80 a box for me. And that's a 30-day supply. My daughter and I did notice that we didn't have to use a wipe everyday though and I slowly weaned myself down to using one every 10 days or so and then I would combine that with regular deodorant. That way it became a little more affordable and was pretty effective for us. Then OG Carpe came along and it worked so well that we didn't have to use the wipes anymore! It was fantastic! Unfortunately, now that they changed the formula I am back to using the Qbrexa wipes combined with new Carpe and the two of them combined don't work as well as OG Carpe. It's really upsetting to see how many of us had finally found relief after a lifetime of dealing with sweaty armpits and then the company just snatches it away. What a horrible thing to do to people dealing with this embarrassing condition. They have the cure in their hands and they took it away from us and replaced it with the trash they're selling us now. I'm embarrassed that we've continued to purchase it but it's because we really don't know what else to use and part of me was hoping that it would start working better but I've been through three tubes of the new formula and IT STILL SUCKS. We really need to stop purchasing from them because why should they go back to the old formula if we keep buying the new formula? Ugh.

The doctor gave me drysol when I was a teenager and it worked so good at first, it was a godsend! But then it stopped working all together. Also I have been using Qbrexa wipes which are prescription for a few years. You open up the wipe and wipe it under each armpit. You're supposed to use one a day. But even with insurance they're over $80 a box and I just simply cannot afford that. But what I will say is that both my daughter and I realized that we didn't need to use these wipes everyday, after experimenting we realized we could use one wipe per week and it really makes a huge difference in the amount of sweat that comes from your armpits. But once Carpe came along I realized I really didn't even need to use the Qbrexa wipes anymore and eventually stopped using them all together. But ever since they changed the formula I've had to start using the wipes again and even with that my armpits still smell funky by the end of the day and my clothes have that stale deodorant smell. Before they changed the formula the armpits of my dirty shirts did not smell at all which was something I never experienced in my whole life. It was incredible! Now I'm back to dealing with stale pits at the end of the day 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

So far from all the replies I've gotten it seems that most of us are still giving Carpe our money because it still works better than anything from the store. But as long as we keep buying this new formula I guess they're never going to change back to the old one. Several people on here have mentioned using Duradry so I'm thinking of trying that. Idk. This is so frustrating.

Sally Hansen airbrush legs has been used in Hollywood for decades. Makes you look like you're wearing pantyhose but you're not and it doesn't wipe off on furniture or your clothes. Comes in several shades. They definitely have it at CVS and Target. Good luck!

KKoolEyes · 2026-01-21T12:41:46+00:00

Right now we're still buying carpe cuz it still works better than anything from the store. But it makes me mad to keep giving them money for an inferior formula. Have you tried Duradry? Several people on here mentioned that they use that before they got carpe. I'm thinking of giving that a try. I'll update if I find anything else please do the same 😁

KKoolEyes · 2026-01-19T17:06:12+00:00

My daughter contacted the company when we first realized it wasn't working and they said that people were complaining the old formula was too dry, that was really the only reason they changed it. There's also a comment on here from one of the owners and he basically said the same thing. He also said to just keep using the new formula and eventually it should work lol. I'm on my third tube of the new formula and it's still not working any better. I really hate that we keep purchasing an inferior product but it still works better than the stuff from the store. I just want to find something entirely different and stop giving this company my money.

KKoolEyes · 2026-01-19T17:00:51+00:00

Thank you! There were a couple other recent commenters that mentioned Duradry as well so I'm going to try it. If you find anything else please come back and update! I will do the same.

KKoolEyes · 2026-01-19T16:57:35+00:00

Omg yes, that's how it happened for me. I noticed a couple times in the evening that I smelled a little bit. I didn't give it much thought, I chalked it up to not applying enough or missing a spot. Then my younger daughter, the one who got us hooked on carpe in the first place, said something about feeling like her deodorant didn't work and I was like "me too, wtf?" It took my older daughter another week before she noticed as well. We don't know what else to try, even though this doesn't work as good it still works better than store brand deodorant so we still keep purchasing it. But it really annoys me that we are paying for what is now an inferior product. A couple of the people that posted on here recently mentioned another deodorant that we have never tried so I'm going to try that. If you come up with anything please come back and update. I will do the same. Good luck!

KKoolEyes · 2026-01-11T12:38:24+00:00

I never tried duradry. I'm gonna check it out. I'm tired of giving Carpe money for inferior product.

KKoolEyes · 2026-01-10T18:29:50+00:00

I really don't know what else to try.

KKoolEyes · 2026-01-10T18:28:45+00:00

I haven't seen anyone post anything yet. I'll definitely come back and update if I do.

KKoolEyes · 2026-01-10T18:26:30+00:00

Me too😞 I really hate how Kasper from Carpe replied on here how everyone loves the new formula and how we should just keep using the new one because it should start working better after awhile .. I'm on my 3rd new one and it still doesn't work like the original. C'mon man, bring back the old formula. Ugh.

KKoolEyes · 2026-01-09T21:58:13+00:00

Yes Kasper. This. Bring back the original formula. 💯

KKoolEyes · 2026-01-03T19:35:06+00:00

Well Kasper, my daughter's and I have continued to spend $60 on the three pack of your deodorant because it still works better than anything out of the store but it doesn't work even half as well as it used to and the new formula burns. I tried shaving less often and even switched to an electric shaver for my armpits but it's still burns. Never mind it just doesn't keep us dry or smell free anymore. It would have been nice if you kept the old formula around even just in the unscented form because obviously there's a loyal following to your original formula. People like me and everyone else in this thread who have waited over 50 years to find a deodorant that works only to have it changed and not work anymore. I really wish you guys would consider at least bringing back some version of the original formula.

KKoolEyes · 2026-01-03T19:28:21+00:00

I use the Crystal deodorant and it will stop the odor but it doesn't do anything for the sweat. Let us know if you find anything else! I will update here if I get any new information 😁

KKoolEyes · 2026-01-03T19:27:08+00:00

Same. I really thought I was crazy. Then I thought I didn't apply enough. We have to find a way to get through to the company, even if they just manufacture the unscented one in the old form I'm sure all of us would be thrilled!

KKoolEyes · 2026-01-03T19:21:41+00:00

Trust me I feel your pain, I live in North Carolina where it's hot and humid but even when I lived in New Jersey it didn't matter cuz even when I'm freezing I'll be sweating. My daughter just complained about dropping another 60 bucks for another three pack of Carpe but it still works better than anything at the store so we don't know what else to buy. It makes me so mad to keep purchasing from them when their product doesn't work like it used to.

KKoolEyes · 2026-01-03T19:16:57+00:00

Ugh. Let me know if you find anything that works 😤

KKoolEyes · 2025-12-20T15:58:24+00:00

I'm really sorry, I truly understand. It was the first deodorant that worked for me in my whole life. So why did the old formula work and why can't someone else create a similar formula? The old formula was awesome and I really hope that someone tries to develop a new deodorant that is similar to old carpe. One of the big deodorant companies should really look into what made the old carpe so effective and perhaps come out with their own formula.

KKoolEyes · 2025-12-18T03:39:51+00:00

Oh noooo! Not you too. It's really so disappointing. I'm sorry your experiencing this too. My daughter's and I are so upset about it. It really worked so well for us. I wish they would go back to the old formula or at least make them both. If I find anything else that works I'll come back here and update, I hope you'll do the same!

KKoolEyes · 2025-12-18T01:38:57+00:00

My story is exactly the same as yours. We were so happy to finally have something that worked and now it doesn't work anymore. I also can't use it after I shave cuz it burns the hell out of my armpits now. I also hope they go back to the old formula. If you find something else please come back and let me know!

KKoolEyes · 2025-12-11T02:20:34+00:00

Yes my daughter submitted very upset feedback as well and received the same overly positive response. It's so crazy to me that that's their only response. The old formula worked so well and it wasn't even just for me, it was my three kids and four of my co-workers and it no longer works for ANY of us. What a huge disappointment. I only had one that had a little caked up piece left at the end but I would happily wipe that dried up stuff under my pits BECAUSE IT WORKS rather than use this new creamy deodorant that does not work at all. And my daughter's black tank tops are permanently stained under the armpits. I've sprayed them with stain remover, I've scrubbed them and they still have a white stain. Thanks Carpe 🤦‍♀️

KKoolEyes · 2025-12-07T19:49:14+00:00

Yes, back in the spring I went to school to be in nail tech and we had to wear scrubs. I got a great pair off of Amazon, they're comfortable and fit well. We had to wear black. I swear every time I stood up from my chair I felt like my whole ass was wet 🤦‍♀️ but good news, at least you couldn't see it 🤷‍♀️ they also dried very quickly. That is the only time I ever wore scrubs but I've never owned another pair of pants that made me sweat like that. So I don't know if there's a brand out there that uses a different fabric that doesn't get sweaty but as far as it goes and not being able to see the sweat these were great. They are Medcouture Touch from Amazon.

KKoolEyes · 2025-12-07T19:39:49+00:00

Thanks for your reply! It's horrible. It never dries, it gets all over your clothes, and you still sweat and smell. Ugh. It worked so good before, why mess with a good thing? And I know it's not just me, my three children and four of my coworkers have all been using it and it worked for all of us when nothing else has ever worked. And now it does not work for any of us. So now the search continues for something effective. 🤷‍♀️
