New research finds that wearing antiperspirant or deodorant doesn’t just affect your social life, it substantially changes the microbial life that lives on you. Both antiperspirant and deodorant can significantly influence both the type and quantity of bacterial life found in the human armpit’s "microbiome."
Results show that antiperspirant reduces the bacteria in your armpit, while deodorant increases it.
