Hyperhidrosis is a problem familiar to many. Increased sweating causes a lot of trouble. The main ones are traces on clothes and an unpleasant smell. And, despite the fact that there is a huge selection of deodorants and antiperspirants on store shelves, not all of them cope with this problem. In this article, we consider the tool "Algel", reviews about it, composition and method of application.
Deodorant or antiperspirant?
Note that these two types of funds have a significant difference. Deodorants do not cope with excessive sweating. Their main task is to suppress the activity of bacteria, which, in fact, are the cause of an unpleasant odor.
Antiperspirants, on the contrary, block the work of the glands and significantly reduce hyperhidrosis. It is their property that is considered dangerous for the body, because its natural function is disrupted - thermoregulation.
But there are funds that are both antiperspirants and deodorants at the same time. These include, for example, Algel. Reviews about this tool, we will consider further.
Mechanism of action
Of course, to make sure that the tool copes with the stated tasks, it is very important to know how it works. So, the manufacturer claims that Algel is absolutely safe. It normalizes the work of sweat glands, but does not absorb into the skin. This explains its safety. The product covers the surface of the skin with a thin film, so that it remains dry. In addition, Algel contains special ingredients that soften and deodorize the skin. Buyers claim that the remedy really copes with the problem of hyperhidrosis.
Method of application and customer opinion
Before you buy something new, you should always read the reviews. And Algel is no exception. So you can find out about its advantages and disadvantages, and then decide whether to purchase.
In reviews of "Algel" there is information that, if used improperly, this tool may not work. For this reason, it is very important to know how to use it correctly. So, "Algel" must be applied to dry and clean skin. This is best done after swimming. The product must be distributed with one even thin layer in the armpits and wait until it dries. In this case, it is advisable not to give up and do not swim soon. It is also recommended that you shave your armpits at least 48 hours before applying it. In reviews of Algel deodorant, buyers indicate the fact that it is valid for several days (from 3 to 5), and then this procedure should be repeated.
Composition and harmful components
Everyone who uses cosmetics knows how important it is to know which ingredients are included in a particular product. As for deodorants and antiperspirants, you should be especially careful here. Surely, many have already heard about such a component as aluminum hydrochloride. It is banned in many countries. This component is present in the antiperspirant Algel and reviews about this product can be found quite contradictory.
Some argue that the aluminum hydrochloride compound enters the skin and accumulates in the body, which is highly undesirable. But the manufacturer himself claims that as part of Algel this component is insoluble, which means it cannot penetrate the bloodstream and cannot accumulate in the body.
In any case, reliable information confirming that aluminum hydrochloride can cause various diseases does not exist. To confirm or refute this fact, you need a long time and a large number of studies.
In addition, there are no other analogues that would perfectly cope with hyperhidrosis and at the same time do not contain aluminum hydrochloride in the composition.
Advantages
For people suffering from hyperhidrosis, a real find is a product that can be used not only for the armpits - "Algel".
Reviews about this tool are very positive. Firstly, there is no need to use it every day. And this means that it turns out quite economical. So, the price of Algel on average is 300-400 rubles, the volume is 50 ml, and it lasts for 3-5 months.
The advantages of the tool include the fact that it does not contain alcohol and does not cause irritation. Algel itself is odorless, and evenly distributing it over the skin is not at all difficult, thanks to the convenient applicator. It is very important that it gets on the entire surface of the armpits and is completely dry. Only in this case, Algel will completely cope with its task.
In reviews of this tool, it is often compared with Dry-dry, and in a positive way. It is believed that the composition of "Algel" is much better and contains less harmful substances. The advantage of this tool is that it can be used not only in the armpits, but also for the feet and hands. The method of application is the same. It is very important after applying the product to allow it to dry and not expose the skin to contact with water for the next few hours.
Some users are advised to apply Algel in the evening before going to bed.
The disadvantages of the tool
Many buyers claim that the best sweat remedy is Algel.
Reviews about it once again confirm the fact that, in addition to the pluses, each product has its own drawbacks, which customers cannot keep silent about.
Firstly, the drug solves the problem of hyperhidrosis only if it is used at least once a week, that is, it cannot cure this disease.
In addition, some girls, after use, feel unpleasant tightness of the skin, tingling, and sometimes itching on the skin in the area of application. A small number of buyers in their reviews indicate that the tool does not help them at all. It dries for a very long time, and then leaves the skin with white flakes.
In fact, there can be many reasons for this:
- personal intolerance to some of the components that make up the product
- misuse;
- applying too much;
- the goods could be fake.
Before using this tool, like any other, it is recommended to make an allergic test. Apply a small amount of the product to the elbow area and observe the reaction. If itching, rash or peeling appears, then using such a tool is not recommended.
