Application of Odaban Antiperspirant
Odaban Antiperspirant can be applied to the entire body. It must simply not come into contact with mucous membranes. It is important that Odaban Antiperspirant, regardless of the body area it is applied to, is always applied immediately before going to bed and on perfectly dry skin. Once an initial protection has been established, which usually occurs after three to five applications, Odaban Antiperspirant should only be used as needed (once or twice a week).
Application of Odaban Antiperspirant on the Head
You can also use Odaban Antiperspirant on the face. This is not a problem. Odaban should only not be used on irritated or inflamed skin.
Odaban Antiperspirant was originally developed only for the underarm and foot areas. However, over time, various other areas of application have emerged. We have many customers who use Odaban very successfully on their 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 with the help of a cotton or cosmetic pad (1-2 sprays are sufficient).
Please wash the treated skin areas normally the next morning. For facial application, usually once a week or as needed is sufficient. Please never treat the entire head with Odaban, but 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.
Application of Odaban Antiperspirant During Pregnancy or Breastfeeding
Odaban Antiperspirant is a "cosmetic product." By law, cosmetic products must always be safe, including for expectant and nursing mothers. Odaban underwent several safety assessments before its market launch in Germany, all of which were positive. Therefore, you can use Odaban Antiperspirant without concern during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
When Not to Use Odaban Antiperspirant
An antiperspirant should not be used during the day. The simple reason is that sweating increases 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, daytime use is not recommended. It is also not advisable to use an antiperspirant immediately after freshly shaving the underarms, as this causes very small injuries to the skin surface and can lead to skin irritation after applying an antiperspirant.
What to Avoid When Using Odaban Antiperspirant
A very important aspect when using Odaban Antiperspirant is that the skin must be absolutely dry at the time of application. There must be no residual moisture in the underarm. If there is still residual moisture in the underarm, the product’s effect cannot fully develop, and residual moisture can cause skin irritation, itching, or burning. Many first-time users of Odaban Antiperspirant often have the problem that they still sweat a little in the evening, meaning some residual moisture is almost unavoidable. We recommend applying Odaban Antiperspirant immediately before going to bed and drying the underarms beforehand with a little talcum powder or a hairdryer. This ensures no residual moisture remains in the underarms.
Another common mistake is applying too much Odaban Antiperspirant per application. One spray per underarm is completely sufficient. For sensitive skin, we always recommend applying it with a cotton or cosmetic pad. Please wash off any product residue normally the next morning.
After an "initial protection" has been established, Odaban Antiperspirant should only be used once or twice a week.
Additionally, 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 this blockage will eventually break through it. Consequently, increased sweating will occur again.
If this does happen, Odaban Antiperspirant should 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.
