What are the Best Deodorant & Antiperspirant Brands?
Deodorant Protects Against Underarm Odor
Power through your day while smelling fresh and clean with the perfect deodorant from CVS. From spray to stick, the deodorant selection meets your preferences with an array of scent options to match your mood.
Find the Perfect Deodorant for You
Discovering the right deodorant or antiperspirant for your body enhances your confidence and keeps you odor-free no matter where your day takes you. Choose from different formats based on how you prefer to apply your underarm protection. Options include:
Solid or stick: This type of underarm protection dries quickly. Plus, it's portable and easy to apply anywhere.
Gel: With gel deodorant, you get smooth application with less residue, but it can take longer to dry.
Spray: Spray deodorant also minimizes residue and can be used on other body parts, but it requires careful application and isn't very discreet.
Other formats: You can also find alternative formats, including powders, creams and wipes.
Fragrance is another deciding factor for many people. Go with an unscented deodorant if you prefer a neutral option that doesn't compete with your cologne or perfume. If you like a little fragrance, consider the scents you prefer. Warm vanilla, fresh fruit and masculine musk scents are just a few of the options.
Browse other features, such as clinical-strength formulas, for stronger protection. Aluminum-free deodorant helps you avoid the aluminum additive. You can also find sensitive formulas for gentle protection.
Deodorant vs. Antiperspirant: What's the Difference?
It's easy to confuse deodorant and antiperspirant or to use the terms interchangeably. However, each has a distinct purpose when it comes to underarm protection. Consider these differences:
Deodorant: These underarm products prevent odor by neutralizing the bacteria that cause odors in the armpits. It doesn't prevent sweat production, so it's ideal if you don't sweat heavily.
Antiperspirant: These products feature aluminum chloride in the formula, which blocks sweat glands to keep armpits dry. They don't prevent odors. You might opt for an antiperspirant if you sweat heavily or live an active lifestyle.
Combination: If you can't decide, opt for a combination of antiperspirant and deodorant for all-in-one protection. It fights odors and prevents sweat to keep you dry and fresh-smelling.
