Hygiene products OPS! Designed for people with abnormally high levels of perspiration. In some cases, this condition is caused by disorders of the nervous system, a decrease in blood sugar, tuberculosis, and is considered a pathology. However, hyperhidrosis is often triggered by stress, intense physical exertion, and then we are talking about the physiological causes of increased sweat production.
To date, long-acting deodorants OPS! able to help everyone who is faced with this problem, and how they are effective and harmless, we will try to find out right now.
Structure
In fact, the means to protect against sweat odor in such a disease should have at least partially a medicinal composition, and in this case, the German developers really used pharmacological components.
Moreover, like any medicine, OPS deodorant! contains elements that are active substances with a specific therapeutic effect.
- The natural ingredient is allantoin (urea), resulting from the oxidation of uric acid. This hypoallergenic substance does not contain toxins, can enhance the metabolism, restoration and renewal of cells, has narrowing and cleansing pores properties. The component improves blood supply to tissues, is able to disinfect skin from fungal, viral and bacterial microorganisms. In the process of beneficial effects, allantoin prevents the occurrence of irritations, enhances the action of other elements of the composition.
- Aluminum Chloride - inorganic substance obtained from dry kaolin when exposed to carbon and chlorine.Its task is to block the sweat ducts, as a result of which the sweat is retained inside the skin, it does not emit a repulsive odor and remains in a dry state for a long time (up to several days). We will talk about the dangers and benefits later, as for the effectiveness of antiperspirant, it is achieved in this way.
- Another ingredient is hydroxyethyl cellulose, or simply put, cellulose ether (fiber, plant polysaccharide). A slightly modified natural component is necessary to give the deodorant a certain consistency, as a stabilizing substance it ensures the stability of the composition, and also, thanks to the formation of a thin protective layer, protects the skin from the multiplication of pathogenic flora.
Auxiliary antiperspirant OPS! contains water purified by modern laboratory methods.

The opinion of doctors
In a disease such as hyperhidrosis, it is probably better to consult a dermatologist first. Having studied the skin condition, a specialist will help you choose the safest and most effective drug, taking into account the individual characteristics of your patient. Actually you can build on official testimonials recommended for OPS products! This is a strong wetting of the armpits, profuse sweating during intense sports training, excessive sweating in different parts of the body.
Of course, it is interesting to know what doctors think about this product. Doctors' comments on OPS deodorants! quite controversial. Some experts are of the opinion that an effective product even with aluminum chloride in the composition has proved its effectiveness and has helped many people feel more comfortable and get rid of the inevitable depression in this state. Moreover, the development of an antiperspirant prescription is closely linked to numerous studies and tests proving the safety of the product.
Other doctors do not agree with this assessment and believe that aluminum in any form and quantity is dangerous to human health, can lead to serious complications and malfunctions in vital systems of the body. Their judgments in most cases are reasoned by medical practice, in which there have already been cases of serious violations due to the accumulation in the body tissues of such a harmful compound - aluminum chloride.
But the main thing is that most users don’t need to use strong protective equipment at all, they just need to put their nerves in order, abandon bad habits and obviously bad food in order to forever forget about such a nuisance as excessive sweating.
