Prescription Deodorant - works at skin level or harmonal/liver level?

The product does not explain- what scientific method does the Prescription Deodorant use/work? Do they only work at skin level or at a deeper level (liver/harmone etc)- how exactly are they able to stop the sweating.

example: dove clinical strength deodorant or http://www.certaindri.com/Pages/CD_Home

Are you referring to deodorant or antiperspirant as they are two different things?
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.
