The odaban antiperspirant can be applied to the entire body. It must simply not come into contact with mucous membranes. It is important that the odaban antiperspirant, regardless of the body area where it is applied, is always applied immediately before going to bed and on perfectly dry skin. Once an initial protection has been established, which is usually the case after three to five applications, the odaban antiperspirant should only be used as needed (one to two times per week).

You can also use odaban antiperspirant on the face. This is not a problem. However, odaban should not be applied to irritated or inflamed skin. odaban antiperspirant was originally developed only for the underarm and foot areas. Over time, various other areas of application have emerged. We have many customers who use odaban very successfully on the face. odaban should also only be applied in the evening when used on the face. Please never spray directly onto the face; always apply odaban using a cotton or cosmetic pad (1-2 sprays are sufficient). Please wash the treated skin areas normally the next morning. For facial use, applying once a week or as needed is usually sufficient. Please never treat the entire head with odaban, only individual affected skin areas, as sweat also has a cooling function. We recommend testing odaban antiperspirant on a small area first if you have sensitive skin before applying it more extensively.

The odaban antiperspirant is a "cosmetic product." According to the law, cosmetic products must always be safe. This also applies to expectant and nursing mothers. Before its market launch in Germany, odaban underwent several safety assessments, all of which were positive. Therefore, you can use the odaban antiperspirant without concern during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

An antiperspirant should not be used during the day. This is simply because more sweating occurs during the day. As a result, the active ingredient aluminum chloride reacts with water to form a byproduct, which can cause unpleasant skin irritation. Therefore, it is advised to avoid using it during the day. It is also not advisable to apply an antiperspirant immediately after a fresh underarm shave, as this causes very small injuries to the skin surface and can lead to skin irritation after applying the antiperspirant.

A very important aspect when using odaban antiperspirant is that the skin must be completely dry at the time of application. There must be no residual moisture in the armpit. If there is still residual moisture in the armpit, the product’s effectiveness cannot fully develop, and the residual moisture can cause skin irritation or itching or burning. Many users who use odaban antiperspirant for the first time often have the problem that they still sweat a little in the evening, meaning that some residual moisture is hardly avoidable. We recommend applying odaban antiperspirant immediately before going to bed and drying the armpits beforehand with a little talcum powder or a hairdryer. This ensures that no residual moisture remains in the armpits. Another common mistake during application is using too much odaban antiperspirant per use. One spray per armpit is completely sufficient. For sensitive skin, we always recommend applying it with a cotton or cosmetic pad. Please wash off product residues normally the next morning.

After an initial “protection” has been established, odaban antiperspirant should only be used once or twice a week. Also, odaban antiperspirant should not be used too frequently, as the spray will not achieve the desired effect. The reason is that with too frequent use, the sweat gland openings become completely "blocked." The sweat that accumulates behind the blockage will eventually break through it. Consequently, increased sweating will occur again.

If this should happen, odaban antiperspirant must not be used for about two to three weeks. After this application-free interval, the effect will be as it was at the beginning of use.

Thus, odaban remains a very effective, safe product for a long time.
