Was hilft gegen Schwitzen im Gesicht?

Ein Antitranspirant mit Aluminiumsalzen reduziert die Schweißbildung an den Stellen, die du behandelst. Das odaban® Gel trägst du abends sparsam auf die trockene Haut auf, zum Beispiel an Stirn, Oberlippe oder Haaransatz. Nach 3–5 Anwendungen ist der Schutz meist aufgebaut, danach reicht oft 1–2× pro Woche.

Darf ich ein Antitranspirant im Gesicht verwenden?

Ja, das odaban® Gel kannst du im Gesicht anwenden: sparsam, abends auf vollständig trockene, unverletzte Haut. Augen und Schleimhäute sparst du aus, gereizte Haut ebenfalls. Morgens wäschst du dein Gesicht wie gewohnt.

Welches odaban® Produkt passt fürs Gesicht?

Die Basis ist das Gel, weil es sich genau dosieren lässt. Mit Gel + Wipes hast du zusätzlich Tücher für unterwegs. Schwitzt du auch am Körper, passt Spray + Gel.

Hilft das Gel auch am Kopf und auf der Kopfhaut?

Ja. Scheitle das Haar, gib abends eine kleine Menge Gel auf die trockene Kopfhaut und massiere es mit den Fingerspitzen ein. Behandle immer nur einzelne Bereiche, nicht die ganze Kopfhaut auf einmal. Morgens wäschst du wie gewohnt.

Kann ich mich morgens schminken?

Ja. Das Gel trägst du abends auf das abgeschminkte, trockene Gesicht auf. Morgens wäschst du dein Gesicht und schminkst dich wie immer. Trag das Gel nicht morgens unter das Make-up.

Wie schnell wirkt das Gel und wie oft trage ich es auf?

Die ersten Abende trägst du das Gel täglich auf. Meist ist der Schutz nach 3–5 Anwendungen aufgebaut. Danach reicht es oft, das Gel 1–2× pro Woche aufzufrischen.

Kann es im Gesicht kribbeln oder brennen?

Anfangs ist leichtes Kribbeln oder Brennen möglich. Wichtig: nur wenig Gel, nur auf vollständig trockene, unverletzte Haut und nicht direkt nach Rasur oder Peeling. Bei Brennen eine Nacht pausieren. Halten die Beschwerden an, hol ärztlichen Rat ein.

Hilft odaban® bei Hyperhidrose im Gesicht?

odaban® ist ein kosmetisches Antitranspirant. Viele Kund:innen mit starkem Schwitzen im Gesicht und am Kopf nutzen das Gel. Bei sehr starkem oder plötzlich neu auftretendem Schwitzen lass die Ursache ärztlich abklären.

Und was ist mit Aluminium?

Antitranspirantien wirken mit Aluminiumsalzen.

Die Studien wurden mit Aluminiumchlorohydrat durchgeführt.

Guide to the face & scalp

Understanding facial sweating.
Reduce it selectively.

Causes, proper use on the face and scalp - and when it makes sense to seek medical advice. Tap a question.

General information, not medical advice. Sources: American Academy of Dermatology, Mayo Clinic, International Hyperhidrosis Society - they describe sweating and antiperspirants in general and are not evidence of effectiveness for any specific odaban® product.

Face & Scalp Guide

Why do I sweat so much on my face?

The face and scalp also contain many sweat glands. They respond to heat and movement, but also to stress, excitement, spicy food, hot drinks, or alcohol. Because facial sweat is immediately visible, it is particularly noticeable here.

If you sweat heavily even without a clear trigger, it could be primary hyperhidrosis. The face and head are among the typical areas, along with the underarms, hands, and feet. It is not caused by an illness and can run in families. It has nothing to do with hygiene.

Increased sweating can also have other causes, such as hormonal changes like menopause or certain medications.

Face & Scalp Guide

Can I use an antiperspirant on my face?

Yes. You can use odaban® Gel on your face. A few rules are important:

only a small amount, applied in a thin layer,
in the evening on clean, completely dry skin,
avoid the eyes and mucous membranes,
not on irritated or injured skin and not immediately after shaving or exfoliating.

In the morning, wash your face as usual. If you have sensitive skin, test the gel on a small area first.

Face & Scalp Guide

Gel or spray - which is suitable for the face?

For the face, we recommend the gel. It can be dosed precisely and applied specifically to small areas such as the forehead, upper lip, temples, or hairline.

The spray is intended for the underarms and larger areas of the body. If you want to use it on your face, spray it onto a cotton pad and dab it on - never spray it directly onto your face. Both contain aluminum chloride as the active ingredient.

If you sweat on your face and body, spray + gel is a good combination.

Face & Scalp Guide

Can I apply makeup afterwards?

Yes. Apply the gel in the evening to your makeup-free, cleansed, and completely dry face. In the morning, wash your face as usual, then moisturize and apply makeup as usual.

Do not apply the gel under your makeup in the morning: You sweat more during the day, so the active ingredient works less effectively and the skin may be more prone to irritation.

For touch-ups, dab unmade-up areas such as the hairline or nape of the neck with a wipe.

Face & Scalp Guide

Does the gel also help on the scalp?

Yes, the gel is also suitable for the hairline, temples, and scalp. Proceed as follows:

in the evening to dry hair and a dry scalp,
part the hair and apply a small amount of gel directly to the scalp,
massage it in with your fingertips,
only treat individual areas at a time, not the entire scalp at once.

Make sure nothing gets into your eyes. In the morning, wash your hair and scalp as usual.

Face & Scalp Guide

Tingling or burning at first - is that normal?

During the first applications, the skin may tingle or burn slightly. This is usually due to using too much product or residual moisture on the skin.

Apply only a small amount in a thin layer.
The skin must be completely dry - after showering or washing your face, it is better to wait a little.
Do not apply to irritated skin or directly after shaving or exfoliating.
Take a break for one night if it burns.

If the symptoms persist, stop using the gel and seek medical advice. More in the article Why can antiperspirants cause itching?

Face & Scalp Guide

When should I see a doctor?

Have excessive sweating checked by a doctor if

you suddenly sweat significantly more than usual,
you sweat at night for no apparent reason,
your sweating interferes with your daily life or causes you distress.

Excessive sweating can also be caused by an illness or medication.

Face & Scalp Guide

What should I do if an antiperspirant is not enough?

An antiperspirant is usually the first step. If that is not enough, a dermatology practice can discuss further treatments with you - such as prescription antiperspirants, botulinum toxin injections, or tablets. The right option depends on the cause, the affected area, and your symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Facial sweating:
Your questions.

The most important answers about application, makeup, and compatibility.

What helps with sweating on the face?

An antiperspirant with aluminum salts reduces sweat production in the areas you treat. Apply the odaban® Gel sparingly to dry skin in the evening, for example on your forehead, upper lip, or hairline. After 3–5 applications, protection is usually established; after that, 1–2 times a week is often sufficient.

Can I use an antiperspirant on my face?

Yes, you can use the odaban® Gel on your face: apply it sparingly in the evening to completely dry, intact skin. Avoid the eyes and mucous membranes, as well as irritated skin. Wash your face as usual in the morning.

Which odaban® product is suitable for the face?

The Gel is the basic option because it can be dosed precisely. With Gel + Wipes, you also have wipes for when you’re on the go. If you also sweat on your body, Spray + Gel is suitable.

Does the Gel also help on the head and scalp?

Yes. Part your hair, apply a small amount of Gel to the dry scalp in the evening, and massage it in with your fingertips. Always treat individual areas only, not the entire scalp at once. Wash as usual in the morning.

Can I apply makeup in the morning?

Yes. Apply the Gel to your cleansed, dry face in the evening. Wash your face in the morning and apply makeup as usual. Do not apply the Gel under makeup in the morning.

How quickly does the Gel work, and how often should I apply it?

Apply the Gel every evening at first. Protection is usually established after 3–5 applications. After that, it is often sufficient to refresh the Gel 1–2 times a week.

Can it tingle or burn on the face?

Slight tingling or burning is possible at first. Important: use only a small amount of Gel, apply it only to completely dry, intact skin, and do not apply it directly after shaving or exfoliating. If you experience burning, take a break for one night. If the symptoms persist, seek medical advice.

Does odaban® help with hyperhidrosis of the face?

odaban® is a cosmetic antiperspirant. Many customers with excessive sweating on the face and head use the Gel. If the sweating is very severe or has suddenly started, have the cause medically evaluated.

What about aluminum?

Antiperspirants work with aluminum salts. In 2023, the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment evaluated new studies: based on current knowledge, adverse health effects from aluminum absorption through the skin are unlikely (BfR 045/2023). The studies were conducted with aluminum chlorohydrate.

How does the money-back guarantee work?
