You already have several sections of this answer spread amongst the replies; but I shall collate to the correct response:

So you have 4 different “deodorants”: gel, stick, liquid roll-on, and spray.

Gel almost never has an anti-perspirant, so is usually free of white streaks.

Stick can be further diveded into antiperspirant and just deodorant. The deodarant is a translucent gel-like stick, with antiperspirant being the white one.

The other 2 are often a mixture of light antiperspirant and deodorant.

I have a skin reaction to all gel, and gel-stick types; and a bad reaction to spray antiperspirant.

All antiperspirants will leave some white streaks from the aluminum salts(which can be mitigated by how much you apply). If you see a movie/tv show/ comercial where someone is applying deodorant, you will see them swipe “up, down, up; sometimes back down for a 4th swipe”; this is way too much. You shouldn’t need more than a single “swipe” per underarm. With proper amounts applied you really shouldn’t get the whote streaks.
