The Best Men's Deodorant for Every Kind of Stink and Sweat
Finding the best men's deodorant is doubly important: For one, the right deodorant should neutralize your body’s signature scent (musky top notes, with lingering base notes of beer and cheese), and in turn, assure that any lingering strains of BO aren't interfering with your carefully-selected cologne. (It’s curious that we spend so much time finding a fragrance—or building out a dependable skincare regimen—yet so little effort picking a product that counteracts the opposing smells in its way.)

Deodorants
Deodorants only mask or prevent body odor. "Deodorants help malodorous body parts smell fresh by depositing a film on the skin," explains Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab Executive Director Birnur Aral, Ph.D. Ingredients in deodorant fight the bacterial growth that causes sweat to smell bad, but "fragrances can also be designed to mask the malodors without trying to stop the bacterial growth," she says.

Clinical Strength Stress Response Antiperspirant Deodorant

For those prone to heavy body odor (hello, smelly armpits!), opt for a deodorant labeled "clinical strength" like Secret's formula, which Janiene Luke, M.D., associate professor of dermatology at Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California recommends. Clinical strength deodorants like this one are the strongest over-the-counter option for those looking to combat serious body odor. With a high 20% level of aluminum zirconium (one of the most effective antiperspirant ingredients) it will effectively fight both stinky underarm aromas and moisture.

Tom's of Maine Wicked Cool! Natural Deodorant

We named Tom's of Maine Wicked Cool! Natural Deodorant our best overall thanks to its natural ingredients and long-lasting protection. Kids will love the wicked cool branding of this pick while parents will appreciate that this product is natural, safe, and free of parabens, aluminum, artificial preservatives, and artificial fragrances.

The claim of 24-hour odor protection seems to ring true and the product does not irritate users' sensitive skin. The fresh scent is suitable for kids of all ages, and the company even donates 10 percent of its profits to charities.
