PERSPIREX Extra Strength Antiperspirant Roll On COMFORT 20ml - Fresh Scent 3+ days Odour Protection, Perspirex is an extra strength deodorant brand

So first off, cards on the table: I'm a middle aged guy and I've always been a bit of a sweaty boy. I have Scottish blood so I sweat in a snow storm and burn under a full moon so like most of my kin I need to take care with what I put on my skin. I also work in nursing so lots of 13 hour shifts in roasting hot wards where the older patients screech if you try and open a window!Mostly I've always used which-ever "strong" deodorant I could find in the supermarket. Generally most of the brands I've used don't do much, in fact if I use spray it reacts with my sweat and forms into a waxy substance that gums up my tee-shirts and is really tricky to get out. If I use normal roll-on it doesn't seem to do much, white tee-shirts end up yellow within a few months, I've even had cheap tee-shirts dissolve under the arms because my sweat is so caustic. Needless to say, my sweat gives my milky white skin a lovely sweat rash.The balance for me then, is to have a product that stops the sweat, doesn't ruin my clothes, and won't irritate my baby-fish skin.There are prescription products that are supposedly quite effective, but I don't have hyperhydosis. I know Amazon is a notorious source of snake oil, but reading some reviews led me to this product. I've been stung by amazon before when it comes to toiletries but I decided to give it a go.I was concerned about the skin irritation that many users reported, I know some people can have random reactions to things like this. I opted to buy the "comfort" version just to be safe.On receiving the product I first applied a very small amount onto the back of my hand in order to check if my skin reacted. After 15 min I saw no redness or felt any itching.As per the instructions I cleaned and completely dried my armpits, applied 4 strokes of the roller under each arm, and lightly used my hand to spread the liquid round the entire under-arm area without rubbing it in too much.I'm not sure if it was psychosomatic - from reading the comments here - but I may have felt a slight tingle for the first 5 minutes but there was no real reaction as far at I could tell.Usually when my central heating comes on ill be roasting hot and get a bit of sweat going so this was a good initial test - I definitely sweated less than normal.The instructions also suggested that you use this product every day for the first five days, then once every 2/3 days after that. I've now been using every 2 days and have noticed an improvement in the amount of under-arm sweat. I'm not bone dry, but I'm also not soaking. I've also noted an improvement in sweat smell - a constant issue for those of us wearing cheap nhs uniforms.I think next time I'll try the "original" version, I think if you follow the instructions closely there should be minimal irritation. I would say that this product exceeded my expectations but does fall short of keeping me completely dry - I feel this is the trade off when using the "comfort" version.

I've had this brand before so know about the burning sensation. But this gives more an itch that can last for days after use and washes.But it does the job, and if rather be randomly itchy now and then, then have sweat patches!Doesn't dry too quickly and is small in size but that doesn't put me off our base.

A miracle! Bought this comfort one as the strong one caused me a lot of pain/itching. This one is perfect for anyone who is a little sensitive. It doesn't cause me any discomfort. It works perfectly, just apply a few strokes at bed time and then in the morning wash off. It has stopped any bad smells. I am so over the moon as my high pressured job means i can sweat and sometimes leave work with a slight odour - which isn't great! It's been a game changer!

Recommended this by a friend, working in the healthcare sector I sweat a lot and normally buy sure cream brand £5.00 a time but still found myself sweating and sometimes as the day went on cautious if I was smelling. I bought this to try although the price is steep it’s a miracle worker. I applied the night before as recommended it did tingle a bit but nothing what I was expecting it dried in good time, next morning woke bathed mowed the grass done a hr cleaning and headed into my healthcare job and no sweating no smell, this little pot is a miracle worker I would definitely buy again

The best antiperspirant available, works for problem perspiration with minimal irritation. Only need to use once a week in winter and two or three times a week in summer. I work out, walk the dog at a fast pace and do manual work in the garden and still manage to stay odour free in hot weather. Could not manage without this product.

The roll-on works really well if used correctly. I have hyperhydrosis which causes excess sweating, even in cold weather, so it's hard to keep dry at the best of times, never mind when the sun is out. This product has helped a lot. A lot don't read the instructions and thus it doesn't work. You need to apply this the night BEFORE, so when you go to bed, just roll it on a few times under each arm, this is due to sweat glands being least active during the night and thus it soaks in better, don't use on this day, which many do thinking it works the same as normal antiperspirant, as it just wont work, it needs to soak in over night. It can last two=three days too though in summer i use it most nights but in colder weather i only use it once every second day.It is scentless too meaning you can apply some nice smelling deodorant the next morning after applying the night before for a sweat free day and a nice smell.It doesn't work 100% but i usually come home from work sweat free or at worst, only a minor sweat which others all have anyway so it's great and likely even better for normal people.Only down side is, it's a tiny bottle for the price. I understand it can last longer if you use it once every 2 or 3 days but the picture attached shows how small it really is compared to a normal 330ml can of drink.

I've used this product for many years. Initially you use it for a few days, then you can reduce it to once or twice a week. It works like a dream and skin doesn't get itchy or inflamed at all.

This is a great product when they send the right one.Unfortunately on this occassion they sent the strong rather than the comfort which I had ordered (and previously used). As I was going on holiday I didn't pay attention when opening.But when on holiday I ended up in pain and irritable due to a burn/ rash which developed under my arm. I then realised the mistake.I've previously used the strong but stopped ordering for this reason. I therefore moved to the comfort which didn't cause this irratatiin/ pain and worked really well - as I say, if they send you the right product.
