Does AP clog pores?

Anti-perspirant stops your pits from sweating--which isn't a good thing to do since your body is sweating to try to keep you cooled down so you don't overheat. A deoderant is more like a cologne which will mask your sweat smell for a while.

AP may close pores, but it's the aluminum in the deodorant or anti-perspirant that is consider a carcinogenic.

Yes, anti-perspirant closes up your pores. There have bene studies that show anti-perspirant causes breast cancer, but the thing is it didn't cause breast cancer in men (yes, it is possible for men to get breast cancer), which it should have if it really were cancerous... so the decision's up to you.

Yes, it closes your sweat glands....which causes cancer. BEWARE.
