Directions for use

To combat perspiration and odour, SweatStop® antiperspirants must be applied to clean and completely dry skin immediately before going to bed. To ensure the solution can be absorbed fully and the salts can seal the pores, care must be taken to avoid sweating after application. The treatment should be repeated every 2–3 days. In the morning, you can follow your usual washing routine and, if desired, apply a deodorant or a skin-care cream. The effect becomes noticeable after 1–3 applications; in rare cases, more applications may be required.

- Cleanse and dry the affected area of skin before going to bed
- Apply a small amount with your fingers and massage in. Vary the amount of lotion and the duration of the massage depending on the desired intensity.

Note on use on the face and hairless areas of the head: It is recommended to use SweatStop® Aloe Vera Sensitive lotion first. Only apply a SweatStop® antiperspirant with a higher intensity level, such as SweatStop® Aloe Vera Forte, if necessary. SweatStop® sprays should be applied using a cotton wool pad.

Properties of some ingredients in SweatStop® Aloe Vera Sensitive Lotion

Aluminium salts
Aluminium salts are used in the textile and soap industries due to their strong astringent effect, where they are employed, amongst other things, in the manufacture of antiseptics and deodorants. Furthermore, aluminium salts can be used to combat sweating when applied topically in certain concentrations. Solutions containing aluminium salts are available for gargling to treat mild inflammation of the throat. They are available from pharmacies.

Aloe vera
The aloe vera plant has been used for over 5,000 years and is one of the tried-and-tested, popular ingredients in the cosmetics industry.

Aloe vera has the following main properties:
- Regenerating
- Soothing and calming
- Immune-boosting
- Skin-nourishing

Decades of research have shown that the substance extracted from the leaves has a wide range of applications. Thanks to its numerous beneficial properties, aloe vera is now also very commonly used in cosmetics.

Dexpanthenol
Dexpanthenol, also known as pantothenol or panthenol, has long been used in topical applications. Pantothenic acid is a component of coenzyme A and thus plays an essential role in skin metabolism. Dexpanthenol has skin-nourishing properties. It increases the skin’s ability to retain moisture and improves its elasticity. It supports the regeneration of skin cells and thus contributes to the skin’s renewal. Furthermore, dexpanthenol also has anti-itching and anti-inflammatory properties. Owing to its wide range of properties, dexpanthenol is used by many manufacturers primarily as an ingredient in skin creams and ointments.
