Antiperspirant Deodorant

Deodorant with antiperspirant effect for heavy underarm sweating

Deodorants classified as antiperspirants are designed for those who struggle with sweat stains on their clothes due to constantly sweaty underarms. Many people find this uncomfortable, and putting on an extra shirt just to hide sweat marks can actually make you sweat even more.

The increased body temperature may also cause sweating on the forehead and back, even if you are sitting still. Instead of trying to hide sweat with extra layers of clothing, consider trying an antiperspirant deodorant with aluminum salts to see if it helps.

The difference between deodorant and antiperspirant

The biggest difference between a deodorant and an antiperspirant is that they combat sweat and odor in two completely different ways. Although “deodorant” or “deo” is often used as a general term for all underarm products, not all deodorants are antiperspirants.

A deodorant without antiperspirant function works by neutralizing odor with various ingredients, while an antiperspirant reduces sweating by partially or completely blocking the sweat glands using aluminum salts. These salts also have antibacterial properties, which can help counteract underarm odor.
