4 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
Aluminum or no aluminum is the choice that comes up most. The aluminum formula is the one for staying dry through a long day, while the aluminum-free one suits bedtime, when you're just sleeping. Mandelic acid, said to help with hyperpigmentation, wins fans too. The one complaint is shrinkage: a multipack that dropped from five sticks to four.
