How is an antiperspirant different from a deodorant?
Antiperspirants are fundamentally different from deodorants in terms of their effect and use. By forming pore plugs, antiperspirants reduce the amount of sweat escaping or direct the sweat to areas of the skin where perspiration can occur more easily. Deodorants contain odor-inhibiting ingredients that mostly cover or absorb the smell of sweat. Deodorants also contain antiperspirant ingredients, but usually in such a small amount that the problem of underarm wetness is not reduced by a deodorant.
Differences in use between antiperspirant and deodorant
Antiperspirants also differ greatly from deodorants in terms of how they are used: While a deodorant is used daily, usually after morning hygiene, antiperspirants are applied less often. The Odaban - Spray is only used in the evening before going to bed. After initial daily application, application can be quickly reduced to just 1-2 times per week. This brings a strong sense of independence and freedom, since you no longer have to think about using a deodorant every day.
These differences are noticeable in the effect as well as in the price. A deodorant usually only costs a few pounds, whereas antiperspirants are usually more expensive depending on size and quality. However, the higher price of an antiperspirant is put into perspective noticeably if you consider that just 30 ml of antiperspirant can last for half a year when used under the armpits. A deodorant, on the other hand, usually only lasts a few weeks.
This effectively saves money, reduces the hassle of having to buy more and protects the environment.
