While shopping on Amazon for my usual old spice bearglove smelling system, I've gotten burned with what I'm getting. I want the blue stuff and I keep getting this white stuff. I don't care if they took the aluminum off, I'm not willing to try that again. Last time I tried it my armpits got extremely irritated. I'm not a sissyfus type of person, but hey if someone was poking you in the armpits that would hurt.

So here I am thinking...hmm deodorant is the blue stuff! Antiperspirant is the white stuff. But no. Now there seems no difference. So does anyone have a good aroma deodorant that not white irritation based for me to try from Amazon?

Ive been using schmitts, but it's baking soda based just like that old spice probably is. I really loved using sweet pitti, which is unscented and uses mandelic acid. Imo, mandelic acid is the king of deodorants. Nothing is going to stop the sweat except aluminum though.

Can’t remember the name of the chemical, but there’s “SweatBlock” wipes and roll-ons that will literally keep you from sweating.

A brief check of their site shows they use aluminum salts.

Sorry about the mislead there. I really thought there was something else that was responsible for the pore blocking effect.

Glycopyrrolate?
