How to choose your deodorant: Your 101 guide

How do I protect my underarms from odor?
If you don’t know what to use for body odor, the answer is deodorant. But make sure you get a non-irritant formula that can care for underarms and retain your skin’s moisture, too.

Enter our Dove Men+Care Extra Fresh Deodorant Stick. Made with ¼ moisturizing cream, it gives you 72-hour odor protection with an invigorating and citrusy bergamot, lavender and sandalwood scent.

For sweat protection, which is better: Deodorant or antiperspirant?
If you want to take that protection to the next level, an antiperspirant is basically a deodorant for sweat as well as odor.

For 72-hour protection against sweat and odor, you have to try our Dove Men+Care Clean Comfort Antiperspirant Stick. This fan favorite is made with ¼ moisturizing cream, infused with vitamin E, and leaves you smelling and feeling your best with an orange flower, lavender and oakmoss scent.

What deodorant should I use for instant freshness?
Our long-lasting dry sprays dry as soon as you apply them, so you can freshen up, get dressed and get on with your day.

If you’re unsure how to use dry sprays, it’s easy. Just shake the can to activate the ingredients. Hold it six inches away from dry underarms (making sure it’s upright). And spray 2-3 short bursts over each armpit.

For 72-hour sweat and odor protection with a starfruit, patchouli and cedarwood aroma, go for our Dove Men+Care Midnight Classico Antiperspirant Dry Spray. Infused with vitamin E, it helps you care for underarms and leaves you smelling citrusy and fresh.

Which type of deodorant is best for on-the-go?
If you want something light and travel-sized, our compact antiperspirant and deodorant sticks can be easily stored and easily applied, keeping you fresh and confident wherever you go.

If exercise is part of your routine, throw our Dove Men+Care Cool Fresh Antiperspirant Stick into your sports bag for 72-hour sweat and odor protection with a refreshing aqua scent during every workout. And if you want to try a new fragrance on your next vacation, our Dove Men+Care Moon Oasis Deodorant Stick gives you 72-hour odor protection with an earthy, woody and aromatic patchouli and oakmoss scent.
