Bottom Line

Pros

Cons

Some devotees love this deodorant so much they buy it in bulk. Gentle on the skin, gentle on your clothes. Not gentle on the wallet, but many say it's worth it.

Effective, even on the hottest of days. Long-lasting. Mild, pleasant scent. Gentle on sensitive skin. Doesn't leave residue on clothes. Roll-on application. Alcohol-free.

Cons

Takes a long time to dry.

Elizabeth Arden

Bottom Line

Keeps you dry through southern heat and intense workouts, and does it without marking your clothing.

Long-lasting coverage. Great protection. Green tea has anti-bacterial properties that eliminates the need for harsh alcohol. Leaves no white residue on clothing.

Cons

Make sure it dries before dressing.

Calvin Klein

CK One Deodorant Stick

Check Price

Bottom Line

An iconic scent inspired by the unisex fragrance by the same name. So, as you might expect, the scent isn't overly feminine.

Pros

Doesn't leave underarms sticky. Clean, invigorating scent. Notes of bergamot, cardamom, pineapple, papaya, amber, and green tea.

Cons

Some reviewers say they need to use an additional anti-perspirant with this product.

If you're concerned about aluminum content and want a truly natural deodorant, there's no other product that compares.

Pros

Performs throughout sweaty situations from southern summer sun to high-impact exercise classes. Long-lasting protection. Natural lavender scent. Contains all-natural, organic ingredients. Free of aluminum, parabens, toxins, and cruelty.

Cons

Gave some reviewers a dark rash. Takes longer to apply than other products. Use body heat to soften product, swipe, then dry before dressing.
