The 20 Best Deodorants for Men, Tested and Reviewed

• Type: Stick
• Active ingredients: Aloe Vera, Alpine Caribou Moss, Corn Starch
• Cruelty-free: Yes
• Scent: Deep glacier scent
• Size: 2.6oz
• Price at time of publish: $13.29

If you are looking for an all-natural deodorant that is vegan and cruelty-free, we're not sure it gets any better than the Oars + Alps Deodorant which is also aluminum-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, and more. This deodorant in particular is non-sticky, dries quickly, and leaves you with a deep glacier sent that has a hint of citrus to it. You'll also avoid those awful under arm stains that are hard to get rid of on clothes which is another bonus. As a woman who only uses men's/natural unisex deodorants, I've personally tried the Oars + Alps deodorant and can attest to its power of sweat and odor prevention. Since I unfortunately sweat more than the average person when it's very hot, I needed something even more powerful for the summer season, but this works excellent for me from fall through spring.

Of course you don't have a sweat issue this could work for you year-round, and it's only $13.29. A great deal in our opinion.

Not only does OffCourt help with moisture reduction, it's also loaded with prebiotics and aluminum-free. Labeled as being a powerful body spray that traps odor at the source, this deodorant is loaded with benefits including also being cruelty-free, vegan, and TSA-friendly. OffCourt sells this deodorant as a three-pack, which means that while you're spending more up-front, this should be able to last you through the year or most of us. Plus, it smells excellent.

Degree has long been regarded as one of the go-tos for men's deodorant as they are what you call an "automatic." I've had personal experience with the Degree 72 Hour and can attest to this being one of the more stronger fragrances I've tried over the years. The Advanced 72 Hour is loaded with what the brand calls MotionSense technology, which is designed to work in-sync with your body all day long. What results is a scent that is slightly woody/fruity/marine that works well for all seasons. Best of all, this deodorant is made solely with reusable materials which means it qualifies as being sustainable. Sustainability always works.

The Baseline Deodorant from Kinfield targets funk by neutralizing odors, while still remaining gentle enough if you happen to experience underarm sensitivity. The deodorant features a blend of lemon citrusy yuzu, and bright ylang ylang, all of which are very calming ingredients to the skin. The 2.2oz size should be enough to get you through a few months at least, and you'll smell great (and citrusy) while wearing it.

Aluminum-free. Cruelty-free. Vegan. The words we all like to hear with anything we're putting on our body. The Each & Every Natural Aluminum-Free Deodorant has been one of those underrated deodorants that hasn't gotten nearly the amount of attention it deserves for its accuracy and precision in our opinion. The formula features coconut, ead sea minerals, tapioca starch, and various essential oils that all work together to fight the funk, and from our personal experience, it does a solid job of fighting the sweat despite not technically being labeled as anti-perspirant. Again, I sweat more than normal in the heat, but for normal folks this works year-round as well.

Gillette is Gillette, and we're all aware that they are one of the most popular deodorant brands for men in the world. The Gillette Endurance Antiperspirant is engineered with sweat protection according to the company, which in turn is supposed to give you 48-hour protection from sweat and odor. The main ingredients are composed of aluminum zirconium and octachlorohydrex gly. Our experience with the Gillette Endurance was a solid one. The gel itself is kind of thick and can kind of spill into your clothes, but as long you don't use too much you should be alright.

Packaged in a 2.6oz stick, you'll be able to get quite a bit out of this usage out of this, and you're only paying a little less than $9 for a bottle. From our personal experience, we wouldn't recommend this deodorant if you are a heavy sweater (at least not in the summer), but this will work just fine if you don't fall into this category.

Here's the deal with the Certain Dri Prescription Strength Clinical Antiperspirant—if you have sensitive skin it will probably sting a little bit. That was our personal experience with it, and while we can't predict what will happen with others, we thought it would be helpful to include. This deodorant in particular is actually medicated and described as prescription strength—meaning this is similar to what people have been prescribed by doctors for hyperhidrosis (excess sweating). The goal is to apply at night so that way you don't have to apply too much in the morning. Overtime, the deodorant works to decrease your sweating. It doesn't happen overnight, but you do get results.

For the $5 and medicated quality, it's definitely worth a shot to see if works for you personally.

A precise and effective formula that has gotten the job done for many, the High Endurance Solid Deodorant is one that "intensifies your man smell" according to the brand, and provides 24-hour protection. We've personally tried out the High Endurance Deodorant and it's solid at preventing excessive sweat. They aren't kidding when they say it lasts 24-hours, and while the smell is a bit on the strong side, it's that strength that fights odors, so no complaints over here.

The ND1 Natural Deodorant is about as natural as you can get with its innovative approach and advanced formula that "rivals chemical deodorants for performance, without the nasty side effects." The ND1 is so technical looking that is almost doesn't look like it's a real deodorant, but that's sort of the point right? Cool bottle design aside, the deodorant is kept free of any aluminium salts, sulfates and parabens, incorporates the use of Amazonian Brown Clay and coconut oil for hydration, and stops the growth of bacteria for 24 hours. What's not to love about this?

We can't rave enough about this vegan deodorant from AKT, and highly recommend giving the company a shot if you haven't already. The formula includes ingredients such as Vitamin E, shea butter, zinc oxide, arrowroot, and more, and has simple instructions. All you have to do is take a small amount (peasize are the exact words used by the company), and apply once a day under your underarms. That small amount takes you a long way, and you can also apply to your feet, forehead, and chest as well. One tube is designed to last you roughly two to three months, which isn't bad considering the price.
