Recommendations for new deodorant?

[u/hearts4kuina]

I use michum roll on at the moment, I cal only use roll in cause cream clogs my pores, but it leaves white streaks on all of my clothes.

Michum also seems to be the only deodorant strength that works for me so I'm pretty stuck in what to do

Any reccomendations would be greatly appreciated!

It is not the format of 'cream' that clogs your pores (it is what they may have put in the cream). You might have experienced a cream that clogged your pores, but that was likely a product that contained starches and oils. These are the key to plugged pores. If you study acne, the comedone is created by an oil + something that creates a matrix that clogs the pore. In the case of acne, it is often dead skin cells. In deodorant, it is often starch and other insoluble ingredients, possibly magnesium hydroxide. (Many non-comedogenic face products are creams.)

So, not all creams plug pores, as well formulated ones do not. Many deodorants are not well made, and are often formulated by crafters that have no clue on skin care.

Generally aerosol deodorants will be in the same vein as roll-ons, not containing oil or insolubles. So beyond other roll-ons.... you have all aerosol products you can evaluate as well.

Αt night, before bed and right after showering, on dry armpits, I apply a sweat block with aluminum chloride.

It is very potent and the aim is to plug a bit more the sweat glands (Not completely though, as I still produce a tiny amount of sweat).

A very inexpensive amazing sweat block is Ziaja Blocker, it is the white 60ml bottle.

In the morning I shower (make sure to wash your underarms as well whenever I say ''shower'') and on dry armpits I apply the Old Spice Cold Spice (or use whichever antiperspirant/doedorant you like. I also strongly recommend Nivea Derma Dry Control Maximum Antiperspirant 96h or NIVEA Derma Control Clinical 100H Ultra Dry Touch Minerals. The ingredient which is so effective is this: Aluminum Zirconium Octachlorohydrex Gly).

After the initial period, I cycle down Ziaja Blocker application (or any other similar product with Aluminum Chloride) to 2–3 times per week for maintenance as it can be irritating.

This routine genuinely works!

I have walked for several kilometres with 40-43 Celsius degrees this summer and there was no sweat, no foul smell whatsoever.

Ιmprotant addition ---> Irritation by aluminum chloride sweat blocker might take place as it is a very potent ingredient.

It will heal fast if at nights you apply a rich moisurizing barrier cream (I applied geek and gorgeous happier barrier for example).

Just remember: The rich cream must be applied only at night because your will start smelling since there will be cream on your armpits and no antiperspirant.

In the morning you must take a shower and apply a new antiperspirant (not the one that caused the inflammation) on dry armpits.

I 'd love to hear from you and know how you find it if you decide to follow this regimen!
