Strong unscented antiperspirant with no white marks?

OK, I don't visit this section of the board much, but I need some advice.

For a while now I've been using Right Guard antiperspirants. They're pretty strong, they don't leave marks on my shirts and, just as importantly, they're available in unscented (I don't want a scent because that interferes with the scents I use). I used to use Right Guard Unscented, then they rebranded it as Right Guard Zero for the past year or two.

Problem is, I can't find it the last couple of times I've gone shopping - I think they've discontinued it. There's a Right Guard Unscented back in the range again, but only "For Women".

I actually don't mind the potential stigma of buying a women's product even if the packaging is a lurid hot pink (hey, the stuff is it's unscented after all) but I do wonder if it's going to work as well. I have a feeling they probably use a weaker formulation and, well, I need a good antiperspirant not some pussified rip-off version.

Anyone able to recommend a good, strong, unscented, "no white marks" reasonably priced antiperspirant spray?

Help - I only have about 2/3rds of a can of the Right Guard Zero left!

Yeah, I have to third Mitchum. The stuff is like a lethal weapon for B.O., I used to smell like a gym as a kid and it was the only thing that stopped the funk dead.

Thanks guys; I'll give Mitchum a try. Definitely no white marks with it, right?

I haven't had any issues with the normal stuff, but they also make it in a clear gel style if that's a prime concern.

You could get yellow marks, which is a result of the aluminum. Mitchum is a good brand, but if you find that sweating is a huge issue for you Certain-Dri and Maxim are popular for people who have hyperhidrosis.

No, nothing like that, thankfully.

Just need something strong enough to deal with daily life that has no scent and without leaving marks. Right Guard has been more than enough - one decent spray lasts until the next morning's shower just fine. I wish they hadn't apparently discounted their unscented line, forcing me to search for an alternative

It takes forever to dry, but Mitchum gel is a beast. It comes in unscented.

Not on me. I used Right Guard for years prior to Mitchum and found it not only left white marks, but it didn't provide adequate protection during the summer. I've used Mitchum for over a year and now swear by it. Moreover, I haven't worn an undershirt since last winter; thus, it is even more important to me that I have full protection and no marks. Mitchum has been great for me.

It's not an anti perspirant, but the Crystal stick has worked fairly well for me. It keeps you from smelling, and I don't seem to be sweating as much normally as when I did when I used normal anti perspirants.

I like Tom's of Maine, but it might be unavailable in the U.K.
