I used to use the clinical version of the commercial antiperspirant deodorant, but I didn't like the way it stained yellow on my white blouses because the reactions from the ingredients. I also wanted something that didn't have aluminum in it which blocks natural perspiration and that waxy after feel if left. No matter how many times I washed the underarm it still felt like a waxy residue remained.
The difference from this deodorant to the commercial antiperspirant deodorant is the antiperspirants stop your sweat glands from producing sweat. But it's important to remember that sweating is an essential bodily function.
Before you introduce a new deodorant it may take adjustment. This application is like a thick body butter and leaves a protective film on the skin and comes with a spatula to remove product so you don't put in dirty fingers. You can rub it in underarm with your fingers. It blends nicely and melts right into the skin. There is a slight white residue if wearing black, but comes off very easily with dry towel swipe. Try one today.
