What is an Antiperspirant and How Does it Work?

Q: What is the main difference between an antiperspirant and a deodorant?

Antiperspirants primarily reduce sweat production by temporarily blocking sweat glands, helping to keep you dry. In contrast, deodorants mainly focus on masking body odour by neutralizing odour-causing bacteria and providing a pleasant fragrance. Many Sure products offer a dual benefit, combining both antiperspirant and deodorant properties for comprehensive freshness.

Q: What is Sure's Body Heat Activated™ technology?

Sure's innovative Body Heat Activated™ technology features tiny microcapsules that sit on your skin. As your body temperature rises with movement, these capsules burst, releasing more fragrance. This ensures that the more active you are, the more effective your protection against body odour, providing continuous freshness.

Understanding Antiperspirant: How Does it Work to Keep You Dry?

Antiperspirants are expertly designed to significantly reduce sweating, helping you stay dry and comfortable. They achieve this through active ingredients, such as aluminium salts, which dissolve in the moisture on your skin. This creates a temporary gel-like plug that gently blocks your sweat glands. This innovative process effectively minimizes sweat production, ensuring you feel fresh and confident throughout your day, no matter the activity.
