Deodorant & Anti-Perspirant

Deodorant or anti-perspirant?

The two do different jobs. A deodorant masks or reduces odour but doesn't stop sweat; an anti-perspirant contains aluminium salts that reduce how much you sweat. For heavy or excessive sweating, a maximum-strength anti-perspirant such as Perspi-Guard is designed to be applied at night for best results. If you prefer to avoid aluminium, there are effective aluminium-free deodorants too.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use a strong anti-perspirant?

Maximum-strength anti-perspirants usually work best applied to clean, dry skin at night, then washed off in the morning. Follow the specific product's instructions.

Are aluminium-free deodorants effective?

Aluminium-free deodorants control odour and suit those who prefer to avoid aluminium salts, though they don't reduce sweating the way anti-perspirants do.

What about very heavy sweating?

Clinical-strength anti-perspirants help many people. If excessive sweating affects your daily life, speak to your GP or pharmacist about further options.
