The Truth About Antiperspirants vs. Powders: What’s Best for You?

Managing excessive sweating starts with choosing the right solution — but not all sweat-control products work the same way. Antiperspirants and powders serve different functions, and the best option depends on your skin, your needs, and where you're experiencing sweating.

How Antiperspirants Work

Traditional antiperspirants use aluminium-based compounds to temporarily block sweat glands and reduce moisture. While this can work well for underarms, many people find antiperspirants irritating — especially on sensitive areas like under the breasts, groin, or feet. They can also leave residue or marks on clothing.

How Powders Work (and Why DRITAL Stands Out)

Unlike antiperspirants, powders don’t block sweat glands — they absorb moisture, reduce friction, and help keep skin comfortable. But DRITAL Perspiration Controlling Powder goes one step further by combining sweat regulation with skin protection:

✅ Diphemanil Methylsulfate – A clinically effective ingredient that helps reduce sweat production by decreasing activity in the sweat glands. Ideal for people with excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis.

✅ Zinc Oxide – Known for its calming and protective properties, Zinc Oxide helps soothe irritated skin and forms a protective barrier against moisture.

✅ Corn Starch – A natural absorbent that helps draw moisture away from the skin while minimising chafing and discomfort.

Which One Should You Choose?

If you only deal with light, occasional underarm sweat, an antiperspirant might be enough. But if you’re managing excessive sweating, chafing, or discomfort in multiple areas, DRITAL offers a talc-free, breathable, and effective alternative.

DRITAL Perspiration Controlling Powder is your go-to for fast, targeted sweat control — without the irritation of aluminium or talc. Try it and feel the difference for yourself.
