I'm not a man, but I have been using Lume. They have come out with a "men's version" called Mando.

Had a breakout under my arms about 3 months ago. The day I detected them I put Aloe Vera Oil under my arms. First, I found I didn’t stink each day. Second, it all but cleared breakout under my arms. Have been using it since. Not as an anti but to deter another breakout. I understand all folks can’t do that. Told a friend about this he said no I need anti perspirant everyday. So I guess everyone can’t get away with that.
