Antiperspirant that works and doesn’t melt my skin

Daily Life, Swiss News and General Topics
1
As per the subject, a man in need. The normal Nivea etc doesn’t do the job. I tried one of the pharmacy ones but it is literally acid. If someone has a good solution then you would be doing me a solid for calling it out!

2
Try the ones of Vichy.

Otherwise, maybe deodorants?

3
Maybe try the deodorant crystals that have no aluminum. I've seen them sold in Muller, which has a pretty large selection of deodorants and antiperspirants. My husband has used the crystal kind before and liked them.

4

I’ve been using this for years now

Very neutral scent, doesn’t leave stains and does its job.

5
Since I developed allergy to aluminium and could not use antiperspirants anymore I wasn't able to find any other deodorant as effective as antiperspirant. They all just do not work. They do not prevent sweating, they just try to mask the smell.

I'm using "La Roche-Posay Physiologisches Deodorant 24h Stick" (liked it more than Vichy). It's pleasant but not even near as effective as antiperspirant.

The missus bought me a mineral salts stick from Boots Manchester ..super expensive here..

Have to say its just amazing. In last weeks heatwave it lasted all day 👍

“Salt of the Earth Classic Natural Crystal Stick “

Around £5 so pricey but totally worth it

7
I am using the Weleda deodorants as wanted to avoid aluminium. It's indeed not the same and have to reapply when very hot weather but does a good job of not making me smell

8
After years of armpit irritation and trying very deo/anti product, I simply stopped using any some 25 years ago. As long as I shower daily, there’s no problem...

9
For you maybe not, but I would say that others can have a different opinion, especially during summer

10
Maybe try armpit liners.

11
Maybe try armpit lasers? Sweat gland removal - whiffy pit problem gone forever.

12
Check out the cien products at Lidl. Women's range of antiperspirants does the job for intense sport activities and heat very well, better than anything else I bought before. And cien has some other hidden gems 😉

13
I use the Nivea Silver range (with bits of silver) or the 0% range (0% aluminium)

14

I love many Nivea products and have been using them since childhood. 0% deodorants are hit and miss for me - some work really well, some not at all.

15
Same here, I use lots of Nivea stuff.

I also agree about the 0% stuff, the Rexona one is absolutely useless for me whereas the other Rexona ones work really well.

16
You can use baking soda mixed with a bit of water, holds for 48 hours.

17
Yes, effective.

A doctor recommended this for the transition away from using deo and antiperspirant products: boil up (in very little water, for at least an hour) leaves of rosemary and mint. Strain. Cool. Dab this on the armpits. Mixture can be kept in the fridge for a few days. Alternatively, lemon-juice. The herbs seem to diminish perspiration. Both options, as does the baking soda (bicarbonate, called "Natron" in German) certainly do away with odour.

18
It's literally in the name.

De-odor-ant.

No mention of anti-perspiration.

So they work just as intended.

19
Male relatively expensive ones (of perfume brands) usually were OK.

Later switched to more natural versions and many did not work at all despite good reviews (e.g. sebamed, weleda, etc.)

Some that at least partially work for me are crystal ones, Annemarie Borlind and Body Shop. Still looking for the perfect one. Will try some of the suggestions above.
