Where can I find it?
Q: For about three years, I have been buying Dove Advanced Care Dry Spray Invisible deodorant. It did not leave any residue or stains on clothing. I have had trouble finding this for several months. Could you let me know if it is still available and where? Thank you. — E.C., email
A: Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant and Deodorant Invisible Dry Spray is still around, but the stores I checked with had very few in stock. It looks like the label and product name have been updated, but the spray description seems to be the same as yours. Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant and Deodorant Invisible Dry Spray is in stock at CVS, 3401 Northside Parkway, Atlanta, 404-261-7123. The 3.8-ounce spray sells for $10.79.
