Dry comfort and protection

HUMANS have two types of sweat glands. Eccrine glands are distributed throughout the body and responsible for regulating body temperature through the release of sweat onto the body’s surface.

Also known as apocrine glands, scent glands are found in the armpits and groin. Apocrine glands are mainly responsible for body odour as the sweat produced is high in protein and fatty acids, which easily breaks down bacteria.

Using anti- perspirants is the most common and effective form of treating excessive sweating.

Perspirex anti- perspirants are clinically proven to provide safe, unequalled protection for up to five days. Its patented formulation is fragrance- and stain- free and kind to sensitive areas of the skin.

The main ingredient, aluminium chloride, reacts with water in the sweat glands to form a deep keratin plug in the gland. This plug seals the sweat gland, temporarily halting sweat production.

As dead skin cells on the skin surface undergo shedding, the plug is expelled, thus reactivating the sweat gland.

It takes two to seven days for this process to complete a cycle.

Perspirex enables you to remain protected even when you shower, swim or bathe, so there is no need to reapply.

Perspirex is used before going to bed as the sweat glands are less active at night. For optimal results, apply on completely dry and unbroken skin, and let the skin dry after application. Wash off in the following morning with soap and water.

For a start, use Perspirex every night until you have achieved the desired effect ( usually within a week).

For sensitive skin, apply every second night for two weeks. Thereafter, apply Perspirex two to three nights a week or as often as your body needs it. Do not use the product within 48 hours after hair removal.

The Perspirex Original Antiperspirant Roll- on ( 25ml) and Perspirex Antiperspirant Hand and Foot Lotion ( 100ml) are each retailed at RM59.90 at Guardian Health & Beauty and other leading pharmacies.
