Comparing Antiperspirants And Deodorants

Alcohol free antiperspirants – whether roll-ons , sticks or antiperspirant sprays – have specially developed formulated that are kind and gentle on your skin to keep underarms feeling fresher without any irritation.

Deodorants contain deodorising active ingredients that prevent bacteria growth and even reduce the amount of odour-producing bacteria. Antiperspirants are formulated to help reduce sweating itself but are also effective as a deodorant as bacteria growth is inhibited due to a lower pH and less wetness.

Most long-lasting antiperspirants work by temporarily blocking the sweat glands on the surface of the skin so that less sweat can pass through. Deodorants, on the other hand, target the smell associated with sweat. They contain alcohol or other high-performance active ingredients that are alcohol-free.

People with easily irritated skin may choose products without alcohol. Alcohol-free products such as NIVEA Pure Invisible Deodorant or NIVEA Fresh Natural Deodorant Roll-on keep skin happy while providing lasting freshness.

Just like classic deodorants, antiperspirants come in all sorts of different scents and even fragrance free. Pick the scent to match your mood, such as NIVEA Stress Protect Spray or another fresh scent.

Find out the best way to keep stress at bay and prevent unwanted odours and wetness with specially formulated antiperspirant even in stressful situations.

Hyperhidrosis has nothing to do with poor hygiene – but there are some things you can do to reduce excessive sweating. Finding an antiperspirant that effectively reduces sweating is one of them. But you should also watch what you eat: Eating too spicy, too salty or too hot can increase sweating. 

Apply our antiperspirant such as NIVEA Stress Protect 48h Antiperspirant Roll-on in the morning and reapply throughout the day, if necessary.

Be kind to your skin: Wearing breathable, natural fabrics and choosing bed linin made of natural fabrics rather than synthetics are great ways to help the skin keep cool naturally. Similarly, layering up rather than relying on one thick jumper helps your body to control its temperature.

With specially formulated antiperspirants, excessive sweating will be a thing of the past – no matter how sensitive your skin is.

There are a lot of rumours about aluminium salts and their effects. The fact is they are an active ingredient in antiperspirants due to their ability to reduce the production of sweat. Here’s what studies say on antiperspirants with aluminium salts: Aluminium salts reduce sweat flow in the underarm area by constricting the upper part of sweat glands. They also help to reduce the amount of bacteria that cause the smell associated with sweat.

Like any other ingredients used in cosmetics, aluminium salts are strictly regulated and subject to stringent safety controls and scientific testing. So whether you prefer conventional antiperspirants or aluminium-free deodorants, you can feel confident in the knowledge they are all safe for your body.

If you think aluminium-free deodorant is the right option for you, take a look at our aluminium free deodorants range. They provide 48H long-lasting protection with a fresh scent to leave you feeling confident throughout the day, without the use of aluminium. All the aluminium free deodorants in the range provide heat regulation, allowing the body to function as it should by letting skin breathe. Your underarms will feel smooth, protected and cared for.
