Bad breath, excessive sweating and unwashed hair are always striking to others. Friends will avoid your company, and at work they will certainly be condemned for sloppiness. Unfortunately, the cause of the above problems may be poor health.
In our review you will learn about the causes of hyperhidrosis and how effective deodorant is from excessive sweating.
In men
The appearance of sweat in the stronger sex is a natural reaction of the body to sports, hot weather or heavy physical exertion. Primary sweating occurs in men as a teenager and is present throughout life.
However, the cause of secondary hyperhidrosis is a bit more complicated, so do not rush to buy an effective deodorant from increased sweating. A solution to the problem must be sought by a doctor if it is associated with the following points:
- Temperature for infectious disease.
- The consequences of taking medication.
- Failure of the endocrine system.
- Rheumatological diseases.
- Lymphomas
- Stress and anxiety.
- Obesity and metabolic disorders.
Among women
There is no doubt that secondary hyperhidrosis is most discomforting for the fair sex. It is believed that a girl or woman should always look neat and exude an exclusively scent of perfume. Wet circles in the armpits, perspiration on the forehead or wet palms - there can be no talk of a new acquaintance, and your feeling of self-doubt will not allow any gentleman to approach you.
The above causes of excessive sweat in women and men are the same. But for the fair sex, the list can be supplemented.
- Menstruation. During critical days, estrogen levels increase - the body reacts to this with increased sweating and a feeling of fatigue.
- Pregnancy. Profuse sweating during the first trimester is a normal reaction, which is not worth fearing. Later, the symptom disappears without the use of any special means.
- Climax At this stage, the female body can withstand significant hormonal changes. Excessive sensitivity, fatigue appears and sweating increases. In this situation, doctors recommend applying deodorant from excessive sweating so as not to add stress to the transition period.
General recommendations
Regardless of the cause of secondary hyperhidrosis, there are a few simple recommendations that will help to partially cope with the problem.
First of all, water procedures. It is necessary to take a shower at least twice a day, and preferably more often in the summer.
Secondly, clothes. Avoid synthetic fabrics and overly tight silhouettes. Natural silk, linen and cotton should be your “best friends”.
Thirdly, medical deodorants from sweating. Do a little research, look at the reviews of products on the market and choose the best.
Fourth, food. Pay attention to your diet. Sparkling water, sweets, spicy foods and coffee enhance sweating. It is better to quench your thirst in the heat with green tea or plain water.
Fifth, herbal remedies. Many plants can help if used correctly. For example, regular bathing with the addition of herbal decoctions (oak bark, sage or pine needles) can reduce sweat.
Treatment
In our review, we will not dwell in detail on the methods of treating hyperpowerfulness, but we still call inexpensive medications.
The safest is “Formagel” - it is registered by the Ministry of Health. The effect after the procedure described in the instructions lasts up to 13 days.
Not recommended for use "Teymurova Pasta" and "Formidron" due to the presence of lead and formaldehyde.
Another option is to buy a deodorant against excessive sweating. Let's look at the three most famous products.
"Odaban"
In 1970, Odaban was created in the UK - a deodorant that has been one of the most effective means in the fight against secondary hyperhidrosis for over forty years. Today, the brand lineup includes:
- Spray. Suitable for any area of ​​the skin. It is very important to carefully read the instructions and use antiperspirant correctly. On dry, clean skin, you apply the spray before bedtime, and in the morning the place needs to be washed and dried. The effect lasts up to 10 days.
- Powder for feet. Active protection against the smell of shoes and feet for 7-10 days.
- Palm Lotion.
You can purchase Odaban brand products at the ABC of Taste supermarkets, as well as at A5, 36.6, Old Doctor, HorZdrav and many others. A complete list with addresses and phone numbers is presented on the official website.
Advantages and disadvantages
Deodorant from increased sweating “Odaban” should be used with caution and only in accordance with the recommendations from the manufacturer. Do not apply on inflamed and irritated skin. After epilation of armpits, for example, several days should pass.
Reviews about this deodorant are positive. “Odaban” copes even with severe hyperhidrosis, definitely better than mass market antiperspirants that promise protection for 48 hours.
Sweating really decreases with each use, and the effect lasts for several days. Now let's talk about the “cons":
- Burning. Almost everyone who tried Odaban manifested to varying degrees. Depending on the sensitivity of the skin, another allergic reaction may occur. For the same reason, it is impossible to use the drug for facial hyperhidrosis due to the risk of contact with the eyes.
- Structure. This anti -sweat deodorant is alcohol-based and contains aluminum chloride. Harmful substances can accumulate in the body and cause hydradenitis - purulent inflammation of the sweat glands.
Drydry
Active advertising on radio and TV a few years ago made DryDry incredibly popular - a deodorant for excessive sweating. The pharmacy today is much less likely to purchase a fake, because high demand has played into the hands of manufacturers of low-quality cosmetics.
The creators of DryDry do not stop expanding the series today: in addition to the classic deodorant, you can buy versions of Sensitive and Light, as well as anti-hypertrophy wipes.
The mechanism of all deodorants from the Swedish manufacturer is the same. Due to the creation of an aluminum-protein complex in the treated area, there is a decrease in sweat glands. According to studies, as a result of such exposure, the drug does not accumulate in the human body, even with prolonged use. Here are just some reviews, unfortunately, say the opposite, but more on that later.
Basic Rules
DryDry Sweating Deodorant is a very effective remedy. This is confirmed by numerous customer reviews. However, do not forget about the recommendations from the manufacturer, without which the result can be unpredictable.
- Apply the product only on dry skin - otherwise it may cause discomfort, irritation or burning.
- Apply deodorant one hour before bedtime and do not overdo the amount.
- If redness occurs, use emollient cream, and in emergency cases, hydrocortisone cream. If all else fails, stop using DryDry and consult your doctor.
- Avoid contact with eyes or mucous membranes.
Classic or Sensitive?
The first in the Russian market appeared deodorant from heavy sweating for a long time. On the palms, feet, and armpits, the product has proven effective. To achieve the best results in hyperhidrosis, DryDry is advised to use two evenings in a row, and to maintain, go 1-2 times a week.
A small bottle of 35 ml may last for almost a year, depending on the frequency of use.
The latest innovation from the Swedish manufacturer was DryDry Sensitive with a lower content of aluminum chloride hydrate - 20%. In the Classic version, this figure is 30.5%. Another difference is the lack of an alcohol base. According to buyers, the tool was less effective. The new formula does not cope with hyperhidrosis - moisture in the armpits can appear in ten hours.
Comfort or health?
DryDry Classic has helped many people solve the problem of hyperpower and gain confidence. The fair sex, previously forced to wear only dark clothes, could afford a bright wardrobe. However, along with positive reviews, it became known about frequent cases of hydradenitis.
Of course, the manufacturer claims that the “blocked” sweat comes out through the kidneys, and there will be no harm from it. But the opinion of doctors sounds different: sweat, which has not found a natural way out, undergoes reverse filtration and can stagnate in the lymph nodes. This is especially dangerous for girls and women.
A similar reaction to deodorant from increased sweating does not appear in everyone, but how do you know who is at risk? The use of such a powerful tool is justified only for real problems with sweating. If you are too lazy to use a regular deodorant every day, it is better to think again before using DryDry.
Vichy
Vichy laboratory got its name thanks to the city of the same name in France. It was here that in 1931 the history of the now very successful company began, firmly included in the top five luxury manufacturers in the world.
An incredible amount of nutrients and microelements in the underground sources of the city of Vichy interested businessman Gerin and Dr. Aller. The main component of Vichy cosmetics to this day is a unique water containing 17 mineral salts and 30 trace elements.
Focusing on the needs of men and women, experts create excellent cosmetic products. Dermatological tests on all skin types and cooperation only with well-known laboratories work to the benefit of the brand's reputation. In addition, confidence is added by the fact that cosmetics is distributed only through pharmacy chains.
Vichy “7 days”
Does not contain ethyl alcohol and parabens - these are the main words that draw attention to the small box where the Vichy deodorant from excessive sweating lies. The name “7 days” promises dry armpits and a sense of comfort.
Inside the 30 ml bottle is a cream that has a non-sticky texture and a very delicate texture. The product is applied to dry clean skin also before bedtime according to the scheme specified in the instructions.
According to reviews on women's portals and forums, with pronounced hyperhidrosis, the remedy may not help in very hot weather, but in general the manufacturer keeps its promises. An economical expense is also noted: for one application, a “pea” of cream is needed, so the tube lasts for 6-9 months.
Despite the fact that the deodorant from sweating Vichy is designed for women, its aroma is more like a man's. Fortunately, in the morning there is no trace of him.
Another competitor
It is not superfluous to recall the Russian counterpart of the famous DryDry. “Algel” is an equally popular product in the category “Deodorants from increased sweating”. Reviews of most customers confirm its effectiveness.
So, the design and composition really resembles the “big brother” from Sweden - the same alcohol and aluminum hydrochloride. In a small concentration, there are extracts of green tea, sage and chamomile, as well as menthol. The cost of deodorant “Algel” is almost two times lower, which undoubtedly attracts buyers.
According to information from the manufacturer, after 3-5 days of using the product in the armpits, maximum comfort is observed. Also suitable for palms and feet.
