10 Best Deodorants for Excessive Sweating in 2022 (Dermatologist-Reviewed)

Pros:

• 19 percent aluminum zirconium to block sweat
• Starch and talc absorb any remaining wetness
• Baking soda fights odor and moisture, too

Cons:

• Baking soda can irritate skin
• Some found this scent too strong or masculine

You can expect this brand to contain baking soda, which is known to eliminate odor, while the fragrance in the formula covers any stink that escapes its grasp. It blocks sweat with aluminum, and also contains powdery talc and corn starch to further help you stay dry.

A few reviewers thought this one had an overwhelmingly manly scent, but other versions are available. Many have been using it for years, and say they like the texture as well as the strong aroma.

Pros:

• Available in many formulas for any user and to suit any scent preference
• 23.3 percent aluminum chlorohydrate for powerful sweat-stopping ability
• Goes on dry and clear

Cons:

• Aluminum chlorohydrate is very effective but can be harsh on the skin

This spray caters to your preference for a lighter and easier-to-apply product that still keeps you dry and fresh for hours. It uses aluminum chlorohydrate, a less commonly used form, which is excellent at blocking your pores to prevent perspiration from escaping.

A few reviewers had issues with the can itself and said the spray function didn't release the product evenly unless they shook it a lot. As with all spray deodorants, they recommend not spraying it in a small, closed space, because the scent lingers.

Pros:

• Aluminum sesquichlorohydrate stops sweat while being easy on your skin
• Alcohol and eucalyptus oil fight bacteria that cause odor
• Lotion consistency goes on smoothly but is non-greasy

Cons:

• Both alcohol and essential oil may cause skin irritation in some
• It does take a little time to dry

With a unique lotion consistency in a push-up dispenser, this product may be good if stick deodorants feel too rough for you. It still has powerful sweat-blocking aluminum, as well as eucalyptus oil for aroma and to kill smell-producing bacteria.

Some reviewers say the dispenser is tricky to use. It's recommended for twice-daily use, and they say it takes about 30 seconds to dry fully.

Pros:

• Wipes contain 14 percent aluminum chloride for powerful sweat-blocking
• Deodorant has 15.2 percent aluminum zirconium to double-down on wetness control
• Neutral fragrance appeals to most

Cons:

• Only 10 wipes included, but most will only need them once a week
• Aluminum chloride is more likely to cause skin irritation

This combo of deodorant and antiperspirant wipes can address excessive sweating and hyperhidrosis and prevent odor buildup, too. The wipes address extreme sweat situations, and the deodorant stick controls your day-to-day sweatiness and odor.

According to some reviewers, the wipes caused itching, which is a common complaint with the chloride form of aluminum. You should avoid shaving a day or two before using the wipes. Many have had great results with no rashes or irritation.

Pros:

• Arrowroot powder and charcoal absorb wetness
• Essential oils mask odors and fight smelly bacteria
• Magnesium, zinc and coconut oil also eliminate bacteria and their stink
• Skin-conditioning ingredients include shea butter and vitamin E
• Seven scents available to please anyone

Cons:

• No active sweat-stopping ingredients like aluminum
• Essential oils can cause skin irritation

Shea butter, vitamin E, and coconut oil all make your skin soft, while the coconut doubles as an effective antibacterial. Combined with magnesium, zinc, and essential oils, odor-causing germs will have few places to hide. This deodorant won't actually stop your sweat, but it can absorb it so you feel drier.

Reviewers do caution that the charcoal leaves a bit of a gray cast and can stain clothes, but most of their formulas omit it, so you have choices. They say that with this, even if they do sweat, it doesn't smell bad.

Pros:

• Vitamin E and sunflower oil to keep skin soft
• Aloe controls odor-causing bacteria while providing skin soothing and conditioning
• 20 percent aluminum zirconium for sweat blocking
• Vegan and hypoallergenic formula

Cons:

• Reviewers say it's not a large amount of usable product

On top of the 20 percent aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly for excessive sweat blocking properties, this deodorant also includes vitamin E and aloe, making it more gentle on the skin.

A few reviewers said that the stick ran out quicker than expected. Still, many liked that it only had a mild scent that left them smelling clean and was easy on their skin. 

Pros:

• 20 percent aluminum zirconium tetrachlorohydrex gly for sweat-stopping power
• Designed for morning use, so it dries fast
• Four scents from feminine to masculine

Cons:

• Recent reviews mention the formula changed, and some had better results with the old one

This antiperspirant doubles as a deodorant and is available in four different fragrances from floral to outdoorsy to suit any user. The product goes on creamy yet dries quickly, which makes it great for mornings when you don't have time to wait before getting dressed.

A few reviewers said the container broke and they couldn't dispense the product easily. Others say it's most effective as part of a total regimen: Duradry's wash, PM antiperspirant, and this one in the morning.

Pros:

• 20 percent aluminum zirconium for effective sweat stopping
• Solid formula goes on dry; clear gel also available
• PETA-certified cruelty-free

Cons:

• Some found the scent too strong, or developed rashes

This antiperspirant offers clinical strength pore-blocking capabilities to limit excessive sweating from stress, activity, or heat. The stick form goes on dry, and it also comes in a clear gel that won't leave any white marks. 

A patch test might be advised if you have sensitive skin because a few reviewers noted a rash after using it. On a positive note, many others said this stayed effective longer than they expected to control odor and sweat.

Pros:

• High concentration of aluminum sesquichlorohydrate, a less-irritating sweat blocker
• Neutral powder scent will appeal to most
• PETA-certified cruelty-free

Cons:

• Can cause discomfort if applied incorrectly; follow the directions
• Must be applied at night on clean skin, so those who shower in the morning will need to accommodate that

Certain Dri is a well-known name in antiperspirants, and this version offers a deodorant function as well. It has a powdery fresh scent, and uses 25 percent strength aluminum sesquichlorohydrate, a gentle but highly effective sweat blocker.

Some users found this, which is a solid stick type, was less comfortable to apply than Certain Dri's roll-ons. Others prefer how this goes on dry, but they stress not to apply it right after shaving!

Pros:

• Green tea can soothe skin irritation and moisturize, since it contains vitamin E
• Arrowroot powder to absorb wetness
• Available in three scents

Cons:

• Lower percentage (15.2) of active ingredient aluminum zirconium than other products

This antiperspirant and deodorant is infused with matcha green tea, which has anti-inflammatory properties, so it may help calm your skin and alleviate itching.

A few reviewers complained that the product could leave white residue or flakes and was hard to wash off. Buyers were also divided on the scent, with some saying it was too immature, and others saying it reminds them of a wonderful cologne. Most agree it does have a strong smell!
