The unpleasant smell of sweat can spoil the impression of a person, even if he is smart, educated, well-dressed and generally tastes great. For some, the issue of excessive sweating is particularly acute. If one is enough to use regular deodorants to mask unpleasant odors, then others sweat so profusely and often that ordinary deodorants are unable to cope with their task. In this case, special care products are recommended. These include Dry Dry deodorants.

Composition and principle of action of deodorants
Dry Dry cosmetics usually do not need special presentation among people who suffer from hyperhidrosis. It is known as an effective remedy for perspiration. But not everyone knows how the remedy works, and how this action differs from the principle of the work of classic deodorants from sweat. The product is a colorless transparent liquid, which contains denatured alcohol, a light perfume fragrance. The main substance is aluminum chloride hydrate. The composition of different funds in a particular brand line may vary slightly.
For instance, in Dry Dry Classic the content of aluminum chloride hydrate reaches 31%, and in Dry Dry Sensitive - only 24%. The first remedy lasts longer - up to 5 days, the second is intended for more vulnerable and problematic skin, and a decrease in the concentration of the main active ingredient does not allow the remedy to act for more than 2 days. Dry dry light - an intermediate version between the "classic" and "sensitive", it is valid up to 3 days. This type of cosmetics is suitable for any type of skin, it can be used not only for axillary hollows, but also for other parts of the body.
Menthol is additionally introduced into the composition of the Dry Dry Foot Spray deodorant, and the men's Dry Dry Man product has a special set of perfumes.
Because the the main substance in any Dry Dry product is aluminum chloride hydrate, then the action of all of these products is based on the regulation of sweat glands. The substance creates a special film on the surface of the skin, which mechanically blocks increased sweat secretion, narrows the lumen of the ducts. Thus, sweat is released significantly less.
The long period of action of cosmetics is explained by the insolubility of compounds of aluminum salts and protein components of the film, which are formed in the course of human life. It is believed that the work of sweat glands with such a straightforward and gross effect may be disrupted, however, clinical studies have not confirmed this. The glands remain completely healthy. Also, aluminum does not increase the likelihood of cancer, as some say.
Advantages and disadvantages
Unlike most sweat cosmetics, Dry Dry can be used with the whole family. This product is universal, its smell does not interfere with perfumes, and therefore both men and women can apply such deodorants with equal effectiveness.

The exception is special release form for men - its flavor is different.
A visit to a dermatologist will help you choose the right remedy. The doctor will determine the type of skin and will offer a certain type of medical cosmetics.

At night, a tool is applied, after which it is not worth wetting your hands or feet until the morning. In the morning you can wash yourself, take a shower without restrictions.The skin on the palms and soles of the feet is rougher than in the armpits, and therefore it is permissible to use the product more often if necessary.

Analogs
Since the price of Dry Dry cosmetics is quite high, people are often interested in the question of whether there are analogues. Two news.

Review Reviews
Dermatologists often recommend Dry Dry, as its effectiveness and safety are confirmed by clinical trials. With proper use and the absence of contraindications, doctors say, the benefits of such cosmetics are obvious. But still, experts do not recommend using the tool for too long without a break. After six months, it is advisable to pause. Why is that? Yes, because the process of sweating is a natural process and it is undesirable to suppress it for too long.
Regarding the risk of developing cancer, which supposedly increases with the use of medical antiperspirants with aluminum, no relationship has yet been found. There is no evidence that cancer in a woman or man developed solely because of their use of such cosmetics. Among cancer patients, there are people who used such funds regularly, but much more than those who have never used such cosmetics.
Customer reviews are different. Finding objective and real is not so simple. The company invests well in advertising expensive cosmetics, and therefore many reviews are paid, fictitious. Among the real ones, mostly positive prevail - the product effectively eliminates the problem of high sweating. But there are also disadvantages, for example, a pronounced alcohol smell when applied.
Also, women often complain of the appearance of slight redness and itching after applying cosmetics. In most cases, these discomforts pass quickly throughout the day.
