Perspi-Guard 5 Day Prescription Strength Antiperspirant

...[The Product]

Perspi-Guard offers a 5 day protection. Based on the instructions on the back (and personal usage), Perspi-Guard is applied on clean, dry skin at night. Shake well and spray liberally, massaging it into the skin. Not just for underarms, it can also be used on hands and feet.

Perspi-Guard has no real smell so real deodorant can be applied during the day. This I highly recommend, although Perspi-Guard really ...

The bottle itself comes in 50ml but lasts a long time, especially since the pump doesn't use much and also since you only need to use it every few days.

Like all stronger antiperspirants, irritation is very common. Adding on shaved underarms is a big no-no and you can expect a worse nights ... more

[Introduction]

Have you ever suffered from the medical condition hyperhidrosis? For those of you who are not proficient with the term, it simply means 'Excessive Sweating'. As a sufferer I can guarantee you that it is pretty awful. mentally and socially. It makes it very uncomfortable to talk to the opposite sex and intimacy is near to impossible due to the buckets of sweat produced. Underarm hyperhidrosis makes it impossible to hug and wear tighter tops and more colourful clothes. Hyperhidrosis of the hands makes it impossible to read books, handle papers properly and shake hands.

Standard antiperspirants like those from Rexona, Lynx and Mitchum just don't work. I have no doubt that they work for normal sweating (otherwise I can't explain their market presence) whilst most suffers from hyperhidrosis live in silence... it is pretty embarrassing and most people just don't understand.

Now before taking radical measures like Botox or an operation, I opted to try Perspi-Guard. After trying so many different antiperspirants and deodorants I wasn't really expecting a difference. I was surprised and since using this product my life has become much richer and nicer.

[The Product]

Perspi-Guard offers a 5 day protection. Based on the instructions on the back (and personal usage), Perspi-Guard is applied on clean, dry skin at night. Shake well and spray liberally, massaging it into the skin. Not just for underarms, it can also be used on hands and feet.

Perspi-Guard has no real smell so real deodorant can be applied during the day. This I highly recommend, although Perspi-Guard really really reduces sweating, it is so much nicer to know that a strong nice smell will mask any potential problems [ I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder... I always think the worst ;) ].

The bottle itself comes in 50ml but lasts a long time, especially since the pump doesn't use much and also since you only need to use it every few days.

Like all stronger antiperspirants, irritation is very common. Adding on shaved underarms is a big no-no and you can expect a worse nights sleep on it. I've had armpit burning a few times since using this product and extreme itching and reddening of the skin. This is to be expected but frankly that price is worth paying 1000% over. Any hyperhidrosis sufferer would agree.

[How I use this product]

Take a shower before going to bed and dry my armpits. I then spray liberally and massage it into the skin. Because it usually feels dry and then I worry I haven't put enough on, I spray a second round without massaging it. [WARNING: this can really really sting if done excessively]. I then wait half an hour for it to build a type of 'covering' over my armpits and then go to sleep... with my arms spread back and no tshirt. Why? This prevents the substance from touching clothes instead of going into the skin. This stuff WILL STAIN if it touches fabrics. This is only a problem at night because in the morning the stuff will have 'dried' / vanished. Shower and dress as normal and you will be sweat free for (in my opinion) 4 days.

My Verdict? Life changing for most hyperhidrosis suffers. Burning armpits and itching is nothing compared to the benefits received. I've kissed more girls, had more fun and felt much better in less than one year of using this product than my entire life. I can wear new clothes because I don't sweat. Unlike surgery (based on internet research), you do not compensate by sweating in other areas. I highly recommend this product.
