A cosmetic method for reducing the body odour caused by perspiration in which a cosmetic agent is applied to human skin and remains at the application site for at least an hour. The cosmetic agent comprises at least one protein hydrolysate selected from wheat protein hydrolysates, soy protein hydrolysates, rice protein hydrolysates, pea protein hydrolysates, hydrolysed keratin and protein hydrolysates from the seeds of Adansonia digitata or mixtures thereof and at least one active ingredient selected from deodorant active agents, antiperspirant aluminium salts, antiperspirant aluminium-zirconium salts and mixtures thereof. The protein hydrolysate may comprise 1.0-40% of the cosmetic agent. The deodorant active agent may be selected from silver and/or zinc salts, aromatic alcohols, 1,2-alkandediols with 5-12 carbon atoms, triethyl citrates, active ingredients against exoesterases, cationic phospholipids, odour absorbers, deodorant ion exchangers, antimicrobial agents, prebiotic components, chelating agents, sorbitan caprylate and/or glucono-delta-lactone and mixtures thereof and may comprise 0.0005-20% of the cosmetic agent. The antiperspirant aluminium salt or aluminium-zirconium salt may comprise 0.1-35% of the cosmetic agent. The cosmetic agent may comprise at least one hydrolysed starch.
