Antiperspirants

Antiperspirants are products applied to the skin, typically under the arms, to reduce sweating. They work by blocking sweat glands temporarily using ingredients like aluminum compounds, which form a gel barrier that prevents sweat from reaching the skin's surface. This helps control moisture and reduces odor caused by bacteria thriving in sweat. Unlike deodorants, which only mask odor, antiperspirants actively minimize sweating. They are commonly used daily to improve comfort and confidence, especially in situations where excessive sweating might be inconvenient or embarrassing.
