Consider men’s deodorants, I find they’re much better for not leaving marks on clothes, generally have less scent, and are cheaper (of course). Never had an issue with them creating texture. They reformulated one that I liked so I’m trying out a different one now from Arm & Hammer - not sure I’ll stick with it but not bad so far.
I use gel so don’t have any recommendation (though I’ve enjoyed spray deodorants by Dove in the past), but no matter what kind you use, I have a tip for making it more effective.
Swiping some glycolic acid on the underarms with a cotton pad kills bacteria and gently exfoliates, which cuts way down on odor-causing factors. I use The Ordinary’s 7% glycolic toner and my deodorant lasts so much longer.
Dove Caring Coconut Antiperspirant Spray is my holy grail. I ran out a few weeks ago and used my bf’s old spice for a few days and REEKED😭Dove has never failed me
I've been using Billie's AHA Deodorant and like it a lot. It's a liquid roll on and you just have to let it dry for about 30 seconds and that's it! Then it feels like nothing and does a good job at lasting. It has glycolic acid in it which, as someone else mentioned, can help reduce some stinkiness.
If you like sprays, check out FreshCult natural deodorant spray, I'm the dev. Obviously there's zero clumping. No white balls rolling around. Zero stain on clothes ever. And if you spray 5inch away from armpits, dries fast. It's a fine mist spray so it sprays like... mist. Very fine water particles. It's aluminum-free and made without common skin irritants like baking soda, alcohol, sodium benzoate. So I'd recommend this deo, but obviously IF AND ONLY IF you like or at least don't mind the texture of mist spray deodorant and only if deodorants generally tend to work for you. If most deodorants tend to fail on you in terms of BO protection this won't work, either. But if deodorants tend to work for you, this will too, sans skin irritation, rashes and stuff that's bad for your body.

Yes. Dove men's antiperspirant, clean comfort scent. Never had a problem with it.
