Do I want a stick or a dry spray?

The first step to navigating all those types of men’s deodorant is figuring out if you prefer sticks or dry sprays.

Our non-irritant sticks glide smoothly onto your underarms and are small enough to travel. And while our dry sprays are a little bigger, they dry instantly on your skin, so you can get dressed as soon as you apply them. Take your pick.

Do I want deodorant or antiperspirant?

Not sure which deodorant is best for odor and which is best for sweat and odor protection? For 72-hour odor protection, go for any of our deodorants. And for 72-hour sweat protection as well, go for any of our antiperspirants. It really is that simple.

What scent makes you feel fresh + confident?

Now you need to settle on your scent – because when it comes to picking types of deodorant, mood matters. Whatever deodorant or antiperspirant you choose, find a fragrance that makes you feel your best. And consider how your deodorant combines with your cologne.

For an earthy, woody aroma, go for our essential oils-infused, patchouli and oakmoss-scented Dove Men+Care Moon Oasis Deodorant Stick or Antiperspirant Dry Spray. For a refreshing aqua scent, our Dove Men+Care Cool Fresh Antiperspirant Stick is a great addition to your routine. To feel revived and refreshed, our Dove Men+Care Morning Fresco Antiperspirant Dry Spray packs crisp, floral notes of ginger, apple and vetiver. And for a more citrusy musk, our Dove Men+Care Midnight Classico Deodorant Stick balances notes of starfruit, patchouli and cedarwood.

The choice is yours. There’s just one more question…

Do I still sweat when I wear antiperspirant?

Heavy sweating is common for a lot of guys out there. If other types of antiperspirant aren’t getting the job done, we recommend our Dove Men+Care Clean Comfort Clinical Protection Antiperspirant Stick.

This specially formulated antiperspirant deodorant for heavy sweaters gives your 96-hour clinical-strength* sweat protection. It’s so powerful, it can be applied overnight and lasts until the next day.
