How to choose an antiperspirant for sensitive skin

A ‘sensitive skin’ label can be a useful starting point, but the complete formula, fragrance, base and your own previous reactions should guide the decision.

Avoid obvious triggers

Do not apply antiperspirant immediately after shaving or to abrasions, redness or damp skin. Even a mild formula may sting if the directions are not followed.

Compare alcohol and fragrance

If you have reacted to products before, an alcohol-free and fragrance-free formula is a reasonable starting point. The absence of these ingredients, however, does not guarantee complete tolerance.

Start cautiously

Use the minimum amount and watch for a reaction. If marked stinging, swelling or persistent irritation occurs, stop using the product and seek professional advice.

OKEY for sensitive skin

OKEY is made by the team that owns this site. It is an alcohol-free and fragrance-free formula — the starting point described above: a 35 ml roll-on with aluminium chloride in a water solution for women and men, with care ingredients — aloe vera, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, chamomile extract, allantoin and glycerin. OKEY cannot guarantee complete tolerance either, so the same rules apply: apply in the evening to clean, completely dry, unbroken skin, wash off in the morning, do not apply to damp, irritated or damaged skin, and wait up to 48 hours after hair removal. If you are allergic to chamomile, take its extract in the formula into account. You can try OKEY via the official site okeystaydry.com or the Kaspi link below; if the product doesn’t suit you, the bottle can be returned within 14 days.
