Clinical testing proves our formulas are 25% more effective than leading competitors in South Africa.

No, our clear gel and invisible solid formulas go on clear and stay clear, leaving no residue on your clothes. This makes Mitchum perfect for both dark and light-colored clothing without worrying about stains or marks.

Antiperspirants contain aluminum-based compounds that block sweat ducts to prevent sweating, while deodorants neutralize odor-causing bacteria. Mitchum antiperspirants provide both sweat and odor protection, while our deodorants focus on odor control with moisturizing ingredients like vitamin E and aloe.

For best results, apply Mitchum to clean, dry skin before bedtime. This allows the active ingredients to form protective plugs in your sweat ducts overnight. You can shower in the morning without reducing effectiveness. Apply 2-3 strokes to each underarm and allow to dry completely.

No, Mitchum does not test on animals. We are committed to cruelty-free testing methods and use advanced laboratory techniques and clinical studies with human volunteers to ensure product safety and effectiveness.

With over 60 years of experience in sweat protection, Mitchum delivers exceptional performance backed by clinical testing.

Yes, Mitchum antiperspirants are specifically formulated to reduce sweat production by up to 70% through aluminum-based active ingredients that temporarily block sweat glands. Unlike regular deodorants that only mask odor, Mitchum's antiperspirant technology actively prevents sweat from reaching your skin's surface. Our clinical-strength formulas are particularly effective at stopping excessive sweating, providing up to 72 hours of wetness protection. For best results, apply to clean, dry skin before bedtime.

Mitchum is used for preventing underarm sweat and odor with long-lasting protection that goes far beyond ordinary deodorants. Our products serve multiple purposes: controlling excessive perspiration (hyperhidrosis), preventing body odor throughout the day, maintaining freshness during physical activity, and boosting confidence in social and professional situations. Mitchum's triple-action formula neutralizes odor-causing bacteria, absorbs moisture, and releases fresh scent molecules. Available in antiperspirant and deodorant formulations to meet different needs, from everyday protection to clinical-strength solutions for those with excessive sweating concerns.

While Mitchum receives overwhelmingly positive reviews, some users have reported concerns including initial skin sensitivity when transitioning from regular deodorants to clinical-strength formulas, white residue from certain solid formulations (resolved by using our clear gel versions), and a stronger-than-expected scent preference. Some users with very sensitive skin may experience irritation from aluminum compounds. We address these concerns through our diverse product range: clear gel formulas prevent residue, unscented options suit fragrance-sensitive users, and dermatologist-tested formulations minimize irritation. If you experience any issues, try applying to completely dry skin, using less product, or switching to our sensitive skin formulations.

Yes, Mitchum is highly effective for controlling underarm odor, even severe cases. Our advanced formula tackles odor at its source by neutralizing odor-causing bacteria before they can produce unpleasant smells. The micro-encapsulation technology continuously releases active ingredients that keep bacteria under control for up to 72 hours. For particularly stubborn odor issues, try applying Mitchum at night after showering – this allows the active ingredients to work more effectively. Many users with chronic odor problems report significant improvement within the first week of consistent use. Pair with good hygiene practices like regular washing and proper clothing choices for optimal results.

For excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), Mitchum Clinical Strength antiperspirant is one of the most effective over-the-counter solutions available in South Africa. Our clinical-strength formula contains higher concentrations of aluminum compounds (20-25% compared to 10-15% in regular antiperspirants) and is specifically designed for people who sweat excessively. Apply to completely dry skin at bedtime for maximum effectiveness – nighttime application allows the active ingredients to form sweat-blocking plugs when sweat glands are least active. Mitchum offers prescription-level protection without needing a doctor's prescription, making it more accessible and affordable than medical-grade treatments. For severe cases, consult a dermatologist who may recommend additional treatments alongside Mitchum.
