Lush Coconut Deodorant Powder (HK$69/50g)

As an after-bath deodorant it's great, but the shaker container makes it difficult to apply. Not very good under pressure. Tel: 2522 6627

Origins No Offense Alcohol-free Deodorant (HK$100/75g)

Keeps you fresh and smell-free for hours. The crystal stick isn't as smooth as a roll-on, but it doesn't leave white residue or feel sticky. Good value for money. Tel: 3188 1826

Kiehl's Superbly Efficient Anti-Perspirant and Deodorant Cream (HK$120/50ml)

Once you get used to the slightly odd feeling of this non-sticky cream, this is easy to use. More or less scent-free, it keeps you dry during everyday activities, but not ideal for hardcore exercise bunnies. Tel: 2196 8348

Clinique Anti-perspirant-Deodorant Roll-on (HK$105/75ml)

Fragrance-free and clear, meaning it doesn't leave marks on clothes. Effectively maintains the body's natural scent during a work-out, unless you're an especially heavy sweater. Tel: 2918 1093
