Whether due to physical activity, extreme temperatures, or stressful situations this antiperspirant is able to protect the armpits from sweat-related issues. Tested at 45°C, its unique formula can regulate perspiration and also prevent and neutralize body odor caused by perspiration. Due to Aluminum Chlorohydrate, which causes the sweat glands under the arms to constrict, it is able to keep sweat away from the skin's surface and combat wetness. With a long-lasting and intense crisp and cool fragrance, it provides a cooling effect leaving the skin calm and comfortable. All in all, it keeps your skin protected from both wetness and body odors for up to 48h leaving your underarm area feeling clean and dry.

What’s the difference between antiperspirants and deodorants?

Antiperspirants work to reduce both sweat and odor from your underarms. By slowing down the flow of sweat to the surface of the skin, they help control wetness and, in turn, odor. On the other hand, deodorants only help reduce odor. Deodorants help control odor by masking the underarm stank caused by the bacteria interacting with sweat and also by reducing odor-causing bacteria. It’s actually these bacteria, not the wetness, believe it or not, which cause the odor.

What causes body odor?

Sweat on its own is odorless and evaporates pretty quickly. In areas like under your arms, sweat can’t easily evaporate, causing the feeling of wetness. With sweat comes odor. Bacteria breaks down sweat and creates underarm odor; bacteria thrive in warm, moist surroundings.

How do I avoid smelling bad or control body odor?

There are a few steps to take to avoid smelling of body odor. First, take a shower and clean your whole body thoroughly with a scented body wash or soap to get rid of lingering sweat or stench. When you’re done with that, apply an antiperspirant or deodorant to your underarms. This will protect you from any odors that may try to surface throughout the day. For additional good smells, try using a body spray or cologne spray. Don’t use too much of a spray because too much can be overwhelming.

How do I fight excessive sweating?

First, make sure you’re wearing an antiperspirant, not a deodorant. When it comes to controlling sweat, antiperspirants are more fit for the job than deodorants. Antiperspirants plug up your sweat ducts and get rid of sweat. Sweat stimulates odor-causing bacteria, and when you get rid of sweat, you get rid of stink.
