These deodorants against sweat are test winners - the other failure!

In a current test of the Stiftung Warentest, 15 deodorants and antiperspirants for men were examined for their effectiveness against sweaty smell. This test took place in May 2025 and included products from well -known drugstores such as DM, Rossmann and Müller. The price range of the tested products varied considerably and ranged from 0.43 euros to 20.26 euros per 100 milliliters. The evaluation criteria included, among other things, the reduction in sweat, protection against armpit smell and user -friendliness. Environmental -critical substances, application, declaration and advertising statements were also considered. The test conditions included a special sweat room with 38 degrees Celsius and 35 percent humidity to check the products under realistic operating conditions. As ruHR24.de , only two products were able to convince in the test.

The test winners were the "Seine. Anti-Transpirant Sport" by DM and the "Cien Men Men Anti-Transpirant Extra Dry" from Lidl, both of which were honored as very effective in protecting welding odors and for dry armpits. In contrast, four other products only achieved the grade "sufficient" and could not convince when protected against moisture. The "Isana Men Anti-Transpirant Motion Protect" by Rossmann and the "Aveo Men Sport" by Müller, which were both "poor" in the sweat reduction, noticed particularly negatively.

Environmentally critical aspects and ingredients

The comprehensive test also found that many tested products contain environmentally critical ingredients, including some of the two test winners. A total of nine of such ingredients were burdened of the 15 products that were tested, with one thing even of microplastics. These environmentally polluting products were devalued by a grade. Regular tests on the market show that cost -effective own brands of discounters can do well in terms of DM, Rossmann and Lidl products. As explained Test.de , many of these antiperspirants contain aluminum salts that ensure that the sweat glands are narrowed and in this way the welding production is reduced.

The test results show that there are definitely products that are both effective and inexpensive. The study also found that the price does not necessarily have to be an indicator of the quality of the products. Demanding test results were supplemented by odor -neutral products that were specially tested for allergy sufferers. Essential tests include both the smell test through trained testers and laboratory examinations of welding -soaked cotton pads to check the effectiveness of the products, as well as chip.de reported.
