Antiperspirants are designed to stop perspiration, which you know as sweat. Deodorants are designed to stop the odor of perspiration, which you know as stink. What you know as deodorant is usually a combination of deodorant and antiperspirant.

To evaluate the effectiveness of deodorant and antiperspirants.
Some types of Deodorant (with antiperspirants) contain Aluminium Chloride, or other Aluminium Salts.
It is used in antiperspirants and to remove suspended particles during water purification.
The risk of antiperspirants is the fact that most antiperspirants contain chemicals such as Zirconium and aluminum which are absorbed into the body through sensitive hair follicles in the armpit. These block sweat ducts causing people to sweat less but also build up toxins in the body. For women who wear bras, the study found that cancerous tumors are most likely to appear in the part of the body closest to the armpits which is the breast. They noted that cysts in this part of the body had 25times more aluminum that those found in other parts of the body. I'd highly recommend natural antiperspirants without harmful chemicals.
Some of the best men's antiperspirants include brands like Dove Men+Care, Degree Men, and Old Spice, which offer long-lasting protection and a variety of scents. Clinical-strength options, such as Certain Dri and Gillette Clinical, are also popular for those needing extra protection against heavy sweating. Look for antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride for maximum effectiveness, and consider personal preferences for scent and formulation.
