First of all, the basics: antiperspirant stops you sweating, and deodorant masks the smell of sweat.
Hyperhidrosis (aka excessive sweating) can be embarrassing, especially during a hot Aussie summer when you’re wearing anything other than black.
If you’re troubled by wet patches on your clothes then no doubt you’re on the hunt for strong antiperspirant brands that offer a solution.
You won’t find anything organic or natural in this inventory as aluminium is often used to keep sweating at bay. But if you’re OK with that then maybe this list of the best antiperspirants for women will help.
#4 Mitchum Clinical – No White Marks
This clear drying gel from Mitchum is said to leave zero white marks and keep you sweat-free for up to 48 hours. So does it live up to that claim?
Reviews are mixed:
Damster from Melbourne gives it 5 stars; “ I had found that my regular supermarket deodorant just wasn’t cutting it in certain situations mainly when wearing synthetics or jackets with a sleeveless top. I heard about this deodorant and decided to try it out. It really is an excellent product that works and I will never go back to a regular deodorant. I can now launder tops less which is a bonus.”
ZHunt from SA gives it 1 star, “I’ve woken up in pain caused by a rash under both my armpits! They have raised hives!! Can only imagine its from whatever chemicals are used in this product which is scary.”
RRP $12.95
#3 SweatBlock
SweatBlock claims to be the answer to excessive sweating, teenage sweating and nervous sweating.
This isn’t your ordinary antiperspirant body spray though, it’s a towelette that you swipe on your underarms every week and the results claim to prevent you sweating for up to 7 days.
But does it work?
One Amazon buyer says, “Sweatblock is the only thing that has ever worked for me, ever. I’ve tried every antiperspirant on the market that claims to stop under arm sweating. Nothing has ever worked for me.”
“This product actually works though. I do have to apply at night and follow all of the instructions very closely for it to work. And I also need to use one cloth per armpit. I also need to do it about every four days or so.”
Clarissa from Amazon says, “The first time I tried it, I couldn’t believe it! I had NO sweat stains, I wasn’t wet at all even after doing heavy lifting, vacuuming, etc. Stuff that would normally cause me to sweat under my arms. I was in love.”
“But a week later, it didn’t work as well. I still sweat and there are still marks. I’m a little disappointed. I was so excited after the first use because I thought I’d be able to wear colors again. But I guess I’m wrong.”
RRP $49 for pack of 8 antiperspirant towelettes
#2 Kiehl’s Superbly Efficient Anti-Perspirant and Deodorant
This anti-perspirant works by using advanced micro–sized drying molecules to absorb sweat and leave no residue. It’s also meant to leave underarm hair softer for a smoother shave, due to the ingredients of orange, lemon and linseed extracts.
loveandsqualor “Best deodorant I’ve ever tried. I.”
berna loved it; “Doesn’t protect at all.”
RRP: $23 for 50ml
#1 Rexona Clinical Protection
One of the best smelling antiperspirants for women is Rexona Clinical. Available in a roll on, cream and an aerosol, no matter how you like to keep dry, Rexona Clinical Protection has you covered.
The scent? Rexona describe it as, “Exotic pear and pineapple draped over a heart of jasmine with traces of smooth vanilla and amber.” Nice!
Reviewers love it.
Karen from Melbourne says, “Great smell and long lasting. Love love love this product. It’s great to use during summer and its never let me down. Keeps me dry all day. Totally works. Love it!!!”
Katie says; “This is by far the best deodorant I’ve ever used. It lasts all day and it never lets me down. I’ve used Rexona for years but this one is definitely my favourite. I’ll never use anything else. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.. amazing stuff.”
RRP from $10
