I have suffered with sweating for as long as I can remember and I tried every deodorant under the sun to try to combat the problem.
I initially tried Driclor, a strong antiperperant containing aluminium chloride and while this worked for a while it caused me a great deal of irritation and burnt my skin.
So when I saw perspirex I thought I would give it a go. It contained Aluminium chloride, but it wasn't as much as is in the Driclor so I thought it might not be AS effective but it would be worth it if my sweating was reduced without all the irritation, and how wrong could I be?
I paid around £6 for a smaller than average size bottle of this deodorant (I'm not sure exactly what size it is, I think about 20ml). The instructions were easy to follow. Apply at night to clean, dry armpits that are NOT recently shaved. Wash off in the morning and apply normal deodorant as usual. I followed these instructions to the letter but the Perspirex was a great disappointment.
The perspirex had an awful chemical smell with it. And straight away I started to experience that familiar itching. And no amount of scratching or creams would stop it, even after I washed it off. I perservered for a week but I saw no improvement in my sweating. My armpits just got increasingly itchy, sore and red. I'd had enough by this point so I gave up.
I definately wouldn't recommend this to people to combat excessive sweating. Especially those people who have sensitive skin. I found it to be a waste of money.
