What the AI looks for in Antiperspirant Deodorants
- Dual function
- Check the Drug Facts panel for an aluminum active ingredient. That active is what makes a product an antiperspirant as well as a deodorant. Without the aluminum active, the product does nothing for wetness.
- Residue
- Choose an invisible solid, a clear gel or a product with an anti-stain claim if you wear dark or fitted clothing. White solids leave marks, and aluminum combined with sweat can yellow white shirts.
- Skin tolerance
- Prefer alcohol-free and unscented versions if you shave often. Alcohol and fragrance cause most of the irritation people get from these products.
Brands that matter
- Dove: Gentle, moisturizing formulas.
- Degree: Motion-activated scent lines and a strong everyday active.
- Secret: Wide women's range with clinical options.
- Old Spice: Men's antiperspirant deodorants with strong scent profiles.
What to avoid
- Aerosol products from batches that were recalled. Check the lot number if you have older cans.
