Descubre las diferencias entre desodorante y antitranspirante

Deodorant vs. antiperspirant: Which is best for you?

Our 24h Moisturising Body Lotion Intense Nourishing Body Lotion is ideal, with Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil to revitalise your skin and protect its hydrolipidic film. Finally, to improve the skin's elasticity and firmness, the Remodelling Firming Body Lotion combines Seaweed Oil and a remodelling plant complex to activate circulation and help maintain smoother, rejuvenated skin.

When it comes to personal care, especially when it comes to sweat and odour control, many people are left wondering which is better: "deodorant or antiperspirant?

Although often used interchangeably, these products have key differences that are important to know. In this article, we're going to explain these differences and how you can get the best out of both products in one product, such as our Triple Effect UnscentedDeodorant Cream .

do you know the difference between deodorant and antiperspirant? Which one is better?

Before deciding which product is best for you, it is crucial to understand what each product does and to understand exactly how it works. Both deodorant and antiperspirant have specific functions, and choosing the right product depends on your individual needs.

Deodorant: Combats odour

The deodorant is designed to eliminate or mask body odour caused by bacteria that develop in sweat. It does not affect sweat production, which means it will not stop underarm wetness, but it does ensure that sweat does not smell bad. Some deodorants contain alcohol and fragrances to provide a feeling of freshness along with a pleasant scent, although unscented versions are available for more sensitive skin.

Antiperspirant: Controls perspiration

Antiperspirant, on the other hand, is designed to reduce sweat production by temporarily blocking the sweat glands. This is achieved by forming a temporary plug in the sweat ducts with active ingredients such as aluminium chloride.

By controlling perspiration, antiperspirant also helps prevent the development of odour by limiting the environment in which bacteria can thrive. What they can cause is irritation to the skin under the armpits, from the other chemicals they contain and from not using them correctly.

which is better?

The choice of whether to use a deodorant or an antiperspirant depends mainly on your personal needs. If you sweat a lot and are concerned about underarm wetness, an antiperspirant may be more suitable. However, if your main concern is odour without inhibiting natural perspiration, a deodorant may be the better choice. For those looking for a complete solution, a product that combines the benefits of both, our Triple Effect Unscented Deodorant Cream is ideal.

Key differences between deodorant and antiperspirant

Its ingredients and active ingredients

Deodorant: Deodorants often contain ingredients that fight bacteria and provide a pleasant scent.
Antiperspirant: In contrast, antiperspirants include active ingredients such as aluminium salts, which act to reduce the amount of sweat produced by the sweat glands.

Mode of action

Deodorant: Works by neutralising odour or masking it with fragrances.
Antiperspirant: Reduces sweat production by temporarily blocking sweat glands.

Effect on transpiration

Deodorant: No effect on the amount of sweat produced.
Antiperspirant: Reduces the amount of sweat produced.

Skin type

Deodorant: Deodorants are generally formulated to be gentle on the skin, although those containing alcohol may not be ideal for sensitive skin.
Antiperspirant: Some antiperspirants may cause irritation to people with sensitive skin due to their ingredients and actives.

can we choose the benefits of both at the same time?

Sometimes the best option is not to choose between deodorant and antiperspirant, but to combine the benefits of both in one product. Our Triple Effect Unscented Deodorant Cream offers exactly that:

Regulates excessive perspiration (antiperspirant action): With an effective antiperspirant action, it helps control perspiration, reducing humidity and keeping underarms dry.
Prevents odour (deodorant action): Thanks to its deodorant action, it fights odour-causing bacteria, keeping you fresh all day long.
Moisturises and protects the skin (moisturising action): Unlike other products, this cream does not contain alcohol or perfume, making it ideal for providing gentle but effective protection.

By choosing a product that combines the properties of a deodorant and an antiperspirant, you can enjoy the best of both products, keeping your skin dry, fresh and comfortable without having to compromise the health of your skin.
