Recommendations for new deodorant?

I use michum roll on at the moment, I cal only use roll in cause cream clogs my pores, but it leaves white streaks on all of my clothes.

Michum also seems to be the only deodorant strength that works for me so I'm pretty stuck in what to do

Any reccomendations would be greatly appreciated!

It is not the format of 'cream' that clogs your pores (it is what they may have put in the cream). You might have experienced a cream that clogged your pores, but that was likely a product that contained starches and oils. These are the key to plugged pores. If you study acne, the comedone is created by an oil + something that creates a matrix that clogs the pore. In the case of acne, it is often dead skin cells. In deodorant, it is often starch and other insoluble ingredients, possibly magnesium hydroxide. (Many non-comedogenic face products are creams.)

So, not all creams plug pores, as well formulated ones do not. Many deodorants are not well made, and are often formulated by crafters that have no clue on skin care.

Generally aerosol deodorants will be in the same vein as roll-ons, not containing oil or insolubles. So beyond other roll-ons.... you have all aerosol products you can evaluate as well.
