Sweating, odour, white marks or irritation after shaving: choosing an antiperspirant deodorant isn't simply about picking a scent. Claims like "48 h" or "72 h" are based on manufacturer guidelines and don't guarantee the same results for everyone. Heat, physical activity, skin type and how you apply the product all play a part.
Here are the key factors to consider before buying a men's deodorant, a women's deodorant or a unisex formula, along with a selection tailored to different needs.
A deodorant is primarily designed to reduce odour, thanks to its fragrance or ingredients that can neutralise odour-causing compounds. An antiperspirant typically contains an aluminium salt that temporarily reduces underarm sweating.
A product labelled "anti-odour" isn't necessarily designed to limit moisture. If your goal is to stay dry during a working day, a bike commute or a workout, make sure the packaging clearly states antiperspirant.
A 48-hour protection or 72-hour protection is a marketing claim, so take it with a pinch of salt. It doesn't mean a single application will deliver the same results in every situation or for every user. Applying too lightly, having damp skin or doing intense exercise can all affect how effective it feels.
Also consider the format, the method of application and the brand's recommendations. Some products need to be applied to clean, dry skin and left to dry before getting dressed.
A spray dries quickly, but often contains a flammable aerosol and should be used in a well-ventilated area. A roll-on limits dispersion in the air, but needs a few seconds to dry. A stick slips easily into a bag or suitcase, while a balm or cream may suit those who prefer a richer texture.
Claims like "natural" and "organic" don't automatically mean "irritation-free". Fragrances and certain plant-based ingredients can also be unsuitable for some skin types.
If you have moderate perspiration, a standard deodorant may be perfectly adequate. To reduce the feeling of dampness, look for an antiperspirant deodorant and check the active ingredient listed in the composition.
Claims of "48 h" and "72 h" are useful for comparing products within the same range, but should be seen as performance figures stated by the manufacturer. They don't replace a choice that suits your lifestyle.
If you have sensitive skin, check for alcohol, menthol and fragrance. An alcohol-free formula may be better after shaving, but no deodorant should be applied to irritated or broken skin.
If you're looking for an alcohol-free deodorant, an organic formula or one without aluminium, check the INCI list and any certifications shown on the product. If you experience redness, itching or a burning sensation, stop using it immediately. Aerosols must be kept away from heat and should never be pierced or burned.

Apply the product to clean, completely dry underarms. With a roll-on, stick or balm, a thin layer is usually enough to avoid a sticky feel and marks on clothing. With a spray, keep the distance stated on the can and spray briefly.
Avoid applying deodorant straight after waxing or shaving if your skin reacts easily. Close the container carefully and store it away from heat. For an aerosol, always keep the can away from a flame, a cigarette and any significant heat source.
Some brands recommend applying it in the evening on dry skin, particularly for antiperspirant formulas. Always check the instructions for your chosen product and avoid applying it to irritated or damaged skin.
The shelf life depends on the formula, how often you use it and storage conditions. Check the symbol indicating the period after opening or the information on the packaging. If the smell, texture or colour of the product changes, it's best to stop using it.
The absence of alcohol can remove one potential source of discomfort, but it doesn't guarantee universal tolerance. Fragrance, essential oils and certain preservatives can also cause a reaction. Check the ingredients list and stop using it at the first sign of irritation.
