Comfort : Perspirex Comfort Antiperspirant Roll On

I'm a 23 y/o male, who has had problems with underarm sweat my entire life. I always found it very embarrassing at school, later at work, any kind of light-coloured T-shirts / uniforms were an absolute nightmare. I have trained myself to always keep my arms down at my sides, no exaggerated movements at concerts etc, in order to try and hide my sweat patches over the years. I tried Driclor, a product that gets prescribed by Doctors (GPs) in the UK, and that worked wonderfully!...Except for the unbearable irritation. By the fourth night, I had to have a shower at 4am as I was literally twitching from the pain.I thought I would just have to put up with it, the excessive perspiration, I would buy cotton pads which affix to the inside of shirts to try and absorb at least some of the sweat, I tried lots of things but it was just relentless. My 'fashion sense' never developed as a teen, as all my shirts, hoodies etc would just go horrible and crusty after a few wear-wash cycles, I suppose due to my deodrant just being sweated out onto the underarms.All that being said, my girlfriend set about finding alternative Driclor-style products and found this. I didn't have much hope as; how could something prevent the sweating without inducing unbearable stinging? Well, I am very, very, happy to say that, in my experience, this product has done that. After maybe 3 nights of using it, just a little bit on each underarm, my sweat patches shrunk until they were no longer existant. I was speechless, I'd had to endure no pain at all, I had taken on the mindset that you had to pay for a sweat-free life with extreme pain each night you used a product like this.I have since ditched my horrible old T-shirts and shirts for nicer jumpers etc which I can wear in full confidence knowing they won't get ruined, and that I no longer have to worry about being embarrassed when raising my arms. It's been so freeing, and this is why I titled this review 'Life changing'. I have started to pay more attention to my appearance overall, and in general just been having a great time. I can't believe this is how my sweat-free peers were feeling like all these years! Fantastic. I will be a customer for life, I'm sure. I now apply every other night or so, but I did forget for perhaps 3 nights at one point and still, no sweating from the underarms. 5* all the way.Please note that other reviews mention irritation, it's such a shame and I wish those people luck in finding a gentler product. But, in my case, I don't have a history of very sensitive skin, so I was okay.TLDR; Used to sweat loads from the underarms, now I don't. No pain from this product. Now far more comfortable in my own skin. Can't recommend enough.Sorry for the life story but it has really helped that much!! Best of luck to anyone who is in the same situation I was.

I’ve been using this for a few weeks now. I know it’s meant for use on the underarms but I use it on my forehead & face. I apply the anti perspirant onto a cotton pad then gently wipe it across my forehead, down the sides of my face & across my cheekbones. There’s a slight tingle when it’s first applied but this soon wears off. I do this before I go to bed and, if necessary, the following morning before I apply my make-up. Most of the time it works fine but on really hot, humid days, which we’ve had a few of lately, it doesn’t stop me perspiring. However, I think that you would struggle with any product, given the weather we’ve been having lately. Overall I am satisfied with this product & would most probably buy it again.

I have grown up not wearing any fabrics that might show sweat stains, that would make me hot, and hated summer/hot weather with a passion. I dreaded work when I knew it was going to be warm. Basically, any movement or change in temperature and I would show the whole world how much I sweat. I grew embarrassed to the point of not wanting to go out for walks or anything.Then I found this. With the warmer weather I thought this might help. My god, it helps so much!!I did as instructed, wore it every night for a week and wash off in the morning, then after a week wear it every couple of nights. I am wearing whatever I want at the moment! At work I had to wear a jacket over a top because I used to get sweat stains on the top, now I'm wearing the same top with no jacket because I'm not leaving any marks anymore! I honestly cried and feel so much happier knowing that I don't have to focus on hiding my armpits.The issue I have is discomfort. Now I prefer shaven armpits, so that may have caused some added discomfort, because lately whenever I put a layer on my armpits feel dry to the point of needing to scratch, even in the middle of the night. What i have started to do is put some moisturiser on when I'm not using the product at night. This seems to help and feels so weird saying I need to put moisture on my armpits when that was the issue before.I'm using the comfort which is meant to help with sensitive skin, but honestly it doesn't feel that way.I'd recommend the product because it has helped so much, but I will strongly advise against if you have issues with dry skin or incredible sensitive skin.X

I used to use the full industrial strength version of this in the past, but found it to be too strong and would make my armpits bright red when used on occasion.I've been using a different / herbal brand recently which is a spray and seems to work pretty well, but when it was out of stock recently, this popped up for me to try.I really like it. Doesn't make me saw and means I don't have to use anti perspirant for days at a time (although unlike the herbal alternative) you can use anti perspirant with this one if you want to smell nice as well as illiminate perspiration!I'll be buying this again.

I have previously tried the original version of this but as others say it does make your under arms sting. This one is better and as long as I put on to cold, dry skin at a time when I am going to generally be still ie the evening it doesn’t seem to sting. I find it really effective for stopping excessive sweating - and this comfort version is a good compromise instead of having to choose between sweaty armpits and stinging ones!
