Cotton is just about the worst possible material for the purpose.
How well it works depends on what top shirt you wear and how you care for the items. You want both the undershirt and uniform shirt to be a wicking fabric (or mesh). Not all compression wear is a wicking fabric, make sure you get one that is.
Note, just about any of the wicking-based fabrics will do a good job....until you use fabric softener on them. Do not, ever, use fabric softener with wicking fabrics. It will clog the channels which are designed to carry away the perspiration. Luckily, you can reverse that by washing them a few times without using it.
