These are many antiperspirants and deodorants are available in the market. Antiperspirants reduced the sweating of the body. I think we should not stop sweating because it is a natural process. On the other hand, the deodorant removed the odor-causing bacteria. Mostly, deodorant is alcohol-based. It may cause the cuts on your underarm but alcohol-free products are also available. You can use both of these products. It’s your choice.
