Deodorants work by targeting the odor-causing bacteria on the skin, usually by either killing them or preventing their growth. This helps to control and mask odor, rather than stopping perspiration altogether (which is the role of antiperspirants). Deodorants do not typically break down odorous chemicals or produce enzymes.
