What’s the difference between antiperspirant and deodorant?
Antiperspirants are designed to reduce sweating while deodorants are designed to cover up the smell. What
does this really mean? Let’s start with deodorant. Old Spice deodorant inhibits the odor causing bacteria that
makes your sweat smell. On top of that, all Old Spice deodorants contain powerful scents that keep you
smelling fresh.
Old Spice Antiperspirants contain similar deodorant technology, but also reduce sweating. As soon as you start to sweat, this activates the sweating protection to keep you feeling dry.
Let’s recap-
How is deodorant different than antiperspirant?
- Old Spice deodorant inhibits odor causing bacteria and is infused with the freshest scents known to man
- Old Spice antiperspirant has the same odor fighting protection as deodorant, but also helps fight sweat.
When should I use deodorant or antiperspirant?
- Use deodorant if you want to smell fresh, but don’t mind the wetness
- Use antiperspirant if you want to smell fresh and feel dry
