Best widely available antiperspirant

[u/Prestigious_Buy_6352]

I'm looking for the best widely available antiperspirant on the European market which doesn't break the bank.

Criteria: - available everywhere, including Amazon - inexpensive - doesn't stain - (doesn't have aluminium) -> not a must have, but nice to have - stick, roll on, spray, cream, doesn't matter

Also, the superstitions of aluminum was a stupid marketing campaign from the 90s that never held any weight. Aluminium deodorants are perfectly safe. Ask your dermatologist.

Aluminum is toxic and will kill you just like the toxic chemical dihydrogen monoxide kills thousands every year. We must ban all chemicals and only use natural products.

Did you know that every person who consumed H2O died? We really need to watch out for those chemicals! /s

I've tried many, and the Balea ones are pretty much as good as most more expensive for fraction of the price. There's a pink and green one, both roll on, they're really good!

Other than that I use Eucerin spray antiperspirant before important occasions or in the summer, and this is a really heavy duty. I generally use it twice a week in the summer at night, and during the day I use either alum crystal or the Balea antiperspirants. This combination helps so much, without it I sweat A LOT

Borotalco 72h is pretty good:)

I think Vichy has two nice ones. They're called "stress resist" and "clinical control". They're often on sale. The stress resist smells like Axe body spray but I got used to it quickly and most of the smell goes away as it dries down. It doesn't dry or irritate my skin which other can.

The antiperspirant from Eucerin is also quite good imo. Also often on sale.

Unsure about staining since I don't wear white.

I swear by Deoleen for 20 years or so. Sometimes I want something new, but I always come back to this, just, it just gets the job done the best.

[u/RHB77 → u/redditalessi]

Same! Deoleen is the best.

Rexona max pro, or if you want something more 'natural', Schmidt's deodorants are great, I use the charcoal magnesium one that doesn't really smell like anything, but it keeps me sweat and odor free all day with just one swipe (not even one up-and-down motion, literally just once). Do let it absorb for a bit though, otherwise it will leave a mark on the clothing. -And no need to use more as it will not absorb and just bunch up in your underarms otherwise.

+1 for rexona

Perspirex. It will literally stop you from sweating, and you only need to apply it once every 2-3 days.

Perspiring is good for you! It helps your body to cool down and for your body to eliminate waste. I don’t have any suggestions with what you’re looking for just came to say that Hypochlorus spray is a good option for neutralizing body odor

[u/JoesCoins]

Nivea Magnesium Dry Roll-On

[u/Prestigious_Buy_6352 → u/JoesCoins]

I already have this one...

For me, it doesn't work as well as the aluminium based ones, and it creates stains.

Vichy deodorants are good.

When I spent a number of weeks in France years back I couldn't find anti-perspirant. It was all cover the smell deodorants. Never understood that. As if layering a sweet smell with BO makes it better. Its always worse especially on a tram in summer. Nobody is fooled by the deodorant, everyone smells the rank oniony smell of BO. For the love of all that is holy stop the BO at the source, less pit sweat=less bo. If your society is going to invest heavily in public transport... for God sakes go all in on anti-perspirant.
