Perspirex is claimed to be one of the most efficient antiperspirants in the world against excessive wetness and body odour, it works by temporarily blocking the sweat glands. Perspirex contains aluminium chloride which reacts with the water within the sweat galnd to create a keratin plug which causes the sweat gland to go dormant. The plug is then expelled with the shredding of dead cells on the surface of the skin which is why you need to use it 3 or 4 times a week.
The secret to Perspirex working so well is it does not contain any water. Quite a few antiperspirants on the market contain both water and aluminium chloride which causes the reaction between the two to take place inside the bottle rather than in the sweat gland which usually results in the plug being created on the surface of the skin therefore providing protection that does not last as long.
It is recommended that you put Perspirex on last thing at night before going to bed and then
wash it off first thing in the morning, the reason for this is you sweat less at night which reduces the risk of Perspirex reacting with the sweat on the surface of the skin which minimises irritation.
You must avoid using Perspirex if you have any cuts or abrasions as it may cause irritation, you must not use Perspirex on an area of the body you have shaved for at least 24 hours.
Perspirex is not suitable for children.
Perspirex is available in 2 forms:
1. Roll-On This is designed for use under the arms and has a comfort buffer which makes it more comfortable to use on the more sensitive skin (aluminium chloride in alcohol is uncomfortable to use on sensitive skin).
2. Lotion This is designed for use on the hands and feet and is a little tougher than the roll-on; the reason for this is the skin on our hands and feet is thicker and less sensitive which means no comfort buffer is needed.
You can use Perspirex on other parts of the body that you sweat from apart from mucous membranes such as the mouth and your genitals. Riemann and Co recommend using Perspirex on no more than ten percent of your body surface as sweating is a healthy mechanism designed to get rid of certain waste products from the body.
Perspirex is produced by Riemann and Co who were founded in Denmark in 1979 by Claus Riemann, they are a company which develops and produces effective skin products. They believe in using as few ingredients as possible to minimise the risk of allergies, many of their products are alcohol based and therefore self-preserving and they add no perfumes or colourings. All products produced br Riemann and Co undergo meticulous in-vivo testing by thorough clinical trials on human subjects in Europe's leading research institutes. No product leaves their GMP approved production site without undergoing strict quality control.
Using this product
I decided to purchase the 25ml under arm Roll-On and use it on my armpits.
The first thing I noticed was the smell, this product really does smell foul, I really can't describe it, it is like a mixture of alcohol and mouldy cheese!
The product had nice packaging and the roll-on itself was quite easy to use and in fact I had to be careful because so much of the product comes out (it was dripping all over the place). I would say about 2 minutes after application the itching began, not wanting to scratch the product away I decided to ignore it and thought it would eventually die down, it did a little so I was eventually able to get to sleep but it was not a particularly pleasant experience. The next morning when I woke the itching had gone and when I had my ususal shower I was able to wash the product away with ease (my armpits were a little sticky though).
Does it work?
Yes! I did three tests on this product:
1. The Office Working in a busy office which can sometimes be quite hot and stuffy I usually do sweat a bit, while using Perspirex I did not sweat at all and there was no odour.
2. Running I decided to give Perspirex the ultimate test by going for a long run, I did sweat a little but there was no odour.
3. Swimming I thought an event such as swimming may affect the effectiveness of this product but it made no difference.
Would I use it again?
Yes! I would probably use it if I was going to a special event and did not want the risk of sweaty armpits or body odour, I think this is a great product for anyone who suffers with these problems.
Bad Points
This is not the kind of product you want to be putting on your armpits before a steamy night of passion, my partner Andrew commented several times about the bad smell!! ( the smell does go away once you wash this product off in the morning)
You do get used to the itching but it is quite annoying
Perspirex is one of the more expensive antiperspirants on the market.
Perspirex is available at: Savers, Superdrug, Waitrose amd independent chemists.
Very helpful review; however, I don't find Perspirex works
