    If your skin is not sensitive and white cast is not a deal breker simple unscented aluminum based anti perspirant works just fine.

    If your skin is sensitive an issue or you want to avoid a white cast look for a magnesium based or probiotic option.

    I would focus on the active ingredient rather than brands or marketing.

      I have extremely sensitive skin, but aluminum antiperspirant has been fine on it. I really get into trouble with aluminum-free brands, especially if they have baking soda in them. I have to say contact dermatitis in the armpit is a unique method of accidental self-torture.

        Same. As long as the antiperspirant is unscented, the aluminum kind is fine for me.

        But woe is me if anything scented goes in that general vicinity. Hives in the armpit is a fate I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
