Even though we're slowly inching our way into Fall, that doesn't mean you should start skipping your deodorant routine in the morning. But for those of you who, like me, are a little picky about that we choose to place in the sensitive underarm region, it can be quite a job to find a deodorant that actually does its job. It doesn't help that each person might have a different sensitivity. Maybe you can't deal with scent, or baking soda doesn't work with you, or you prefer something calming with a hint of aloe vera. Or maybe you're just looking for a nice natural that doesn't have any aluminum or synthetics involved. But of course, you still want to not smell at 5pm on a train full of strangers. Below, find 15 of the best deodorants on the market that will work for, not against, your sensitive skin. Want something creamy? Something bold? Something without plastic? We've got you covered.
