the pH is it.. thanks for the info.
From the context I'm assuming antiperspirant.
An antiperspirant clogs the pores in the skin via aluminium chloride or similar chemical. This doesn't stop production of sweat, it just prevents it from reaching the skin surface.
A deodorant simply masks the smell of the sweat but does nothing to prevent it flowing.
