Discover the differences between deodorant and antiperspirant

Deodorant vs. antiperspirant: Which is the best option for you?

Our 24h Moisturizing Body Lotion Intense Nourishing Body Lotion is ideal, with Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil to revitalize your skin and protect its hydrolipidic film. Finally, to improve skin elasticity and firmness, the Remodeling Firming Body Lotion combines Seaweed Oil and a Remodeling Vegetable Complex that activate circulation and help maintain a smoother and rejuvenated skin.

When it comes to personal care, especially when it comes to controlling sweat and odor, 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 of both products in one product, such as our Triple Effect UnscentedDeodorant Cream .

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

Before deciding which product is best for you, it is crucial to understand what each one 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 bad odor

The deodorant is designed to eliminate or mask bad body odor 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 fresh feeling 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 accomplished by forming a temporary plug in the sweat ducts with active ingredients such as aluminum chloride.

By controlling perspiration, the antiperspirant also helps prevent the appearance of odor by limiting the environment in which bacteria can proliferate. What they can cause is irritation to the skin under the armpits, due to the other chemicals they contain and because they are not used correctly.

which one is better?

The choice of whether to use a deodorant or an antiperspirant depends primarily on your personal needs. If you sweat a lot and are concerned about underarm wetness, an antiperspirant may be more appropriate. However, if your main concern is odor without inhibiting natural perspiration, a deodorant may be the better choice. For those looking for a complete solution, a product that combines advantages 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 aluminum salts, which act to reduce the amount of sweat produced by the sweat glands.

Mode of action

Deodorant: Works by neutralizing odor 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: Decreases the amount of sweat produced.

Skin type

Deodorant: Generally, deodorants are formulated to be gentle on the skin, although those containing alcohol may not be ideal for sensitive skin.
Antiperspirant: Some antiperspirants may cause irritation in 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 odor (deodorant action): Thanks to its deodorant action, it fights odor-causing bacteria, keeping you fresh all day long.
Moisturizes and protects the skin (moisturizing 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.
