What's the best deodorant/antiperspirant?

I've always had to deal with excessive underarm sweating, and nothing seems to work. I've tried Degree, Mitchum, even Certain-Dri. Certain-Dri works sometimes, but other times it doesn't, and it's also painful to put on and leaves irritated bumps under my arms. I'd try men's deodorant, but I definitely don't want to smell like a man. Do I have any options left?

What's the best deodorant/antiperspirant?
What is most important here is the active ingredient in the deodorant, and the strength of that ingredient. Most "deodorants" help you in two ways: by smelling nice and preventing sweat. The actual "deodorant" is just scented, but inactive, ingredients. It is the ANTI-PERSPIRANT that is the active ingredient--usually Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrx GLY. Look for the highest percentage of this that you can find for a more powerful sweat preventer, regardless of brand or fragrance.(Just look at the BACK of the package, where it says "active ingredient"). I recommend Secret Platinum Soft Solid--any scent you like!





Secret also makes a new prescription strength product. I have not tried it yet, as it is somewhat expensive, but it might be worth looking into. You can also go to a dermatologist, and they will give you a prescription you can put on (every few nights, at night only, it kind of burns a little bit if you shave, but it really does help).
Reply:Dove works wonders! Plus it keeps you soft which is a bonus.
Reply:i have the same problem with underarm sweat. i use secret platinum solid (glacier mist scent). its worked the best! hope this helps! :)
Reply:I've always liked Secret. I now use Secret deoderant instead of Secret a/p. I find that the less I use, the less I sweat.... the more I use the more I sweat and stink.
Reply:i had the same problem,I started using "Adidas 24hr deo control pure powder." its supposedly supposed too make you sweat less because it has no aluminum.
Reply:Ban roll on. No sweat/no smell. :)
Reply:well i'm 20 and when i was like 14 i had really bad sweating issues i tryed everything and nothing worked. but i went to my doctor and got a prescription deoderant. and i used the same kind ever since! Seriously go to your doctor and they'll give you the best deoderant!!
