When applied correctly on clean skin, the alum deodorant can be very effective against malodor up to 24 hours. Anecdotal evidence suggests when alum is applied regularly, its effects can linger for a few days, even if alum isn't applied.

Our DEOKLEAR deodorants are effective in preventing malodor as well as reducing perspiration. Due to its astringent properties, the alum active ingredient constricts, but not completely block the pores, unlike the conventional deodorant. In case of excess perspiration, we suggest the DEOKLEAR Cooling Menthal Deodorant Powder.
