Any recs for gentle deoderant/anti-p that come in unscented?

I like Secret's clear gel, although I don't know if it counts as "gentle" (my pits have never been angry at it, though)

Ditto on the unscented Secrets clear gel. Also a fan of Kiehl's!

Another fan of Secret. I use the clinical strength but not sure if that comes in unscented.

I was thinking of switching to this.  The gel seems to have stop working well on me.  Does the clinical go on clear?  I'm trying the invisible solid now because it seems to be stronger according to the indregients, but it isn't really invisible.

I got this once - it doesn't go on totally clear, but I think the package says to put it on at night (if I remember correctly) so by the time I got dressed the next morning it wasn't an issue. I still can't figure out when you can shave your armpits, though - it says to put it on at night, but not after shaving. But I'm assuming you couldn't shave the next morning or you'd scrape it all right off? So when?

Kelly- That is way more thought than I want to put into my deoderant routine.  wink

The Secret soild I'm using now has 18% of the main ingredient (the name of which escapes me now.)  The gel only had 16% of the same ingredient, which is why I upped it to the solid.  THe extra 2% seems to be working better.  It was very humid yesterday here and no underarm wetness.  But I can't use it if I'm going to wear anything sleevelss.

Pollyjean23-I prefer only unsented versions too.  Maybe you can try the Secret gel and see if it's strong enough for you?  I really liked it over the winter and will probably go back to it.

Something that has worked for me is Arm and Hammer. I don't have any irritation or itching anymore, but it's mostly a deoderant not a strong antiperspirant.

haha Boots same here. I bought it on accident when Secret changed their packaging like a year ago and I couldn't figure out which one was my regular one. Since I bought it I figured I'd try it, but it was just too much bother. I used it like 4 times and gave up.

Also FWIW you might want to try a different brand. I think most antiperspirants have some sort of aluminum something or other, but they're different. For example Secret works great for me, but a few weeks ago I bought something from Degree and it doesn't work well for me at all. When I compared the active ingredients, they were different. So I think maybe my body likes one ingredient more than the other.
