Have Mitchum changed their formula?

I've been using Mitchum roll on deodorant for years as it's the only deodorant that stops me smelling since I hit perimenopause. However, over the last few weeks my underarms have been unbearably itchy to the point where it's waking me up at night. I'm wondering if the formula of Mitchum may have changed, and if so, whether there's an alternative deodorant that will stop me smelling without going round scratching like a baboon??

I can recommend the AKT deodorant - quite pricy but you only use a pea sized amount, rub it in like a cream, and my pits stay dry and fresh for two days. Tested on west end actors who dance around and sweat a lot. You can also put under your bra, on your top lip, your inner thighs... anywhere that sweats really and it doesn't burn or sting. I put it on last night after a shower, I've been running around like a mad arse all day and my underarms still smell lovely!

They must have done something because I've tried roll-on and the cream stick thing recently and neither work any more! I'm using some horrible but effective Sure cream thing that cost me about £7.

I use the Sure cream, it’s available as a bulk buy on Amazon, £20 for 6.

Ive been using it for months and ive had to stop as they’ve caused horrific burns in my armpits. I’ve gone back to Nivea spray deodorant whilst they heal

I was using Sure cream as an alternative, but it stained all my clothes yellow.
