This is how odaban® works against excessive sweating

odaban® is an antiperspirant. Overnight, the active ingredient binds to proteins in the top layer of the skin and forms a fine barrier at the opening of the sweat duct. This significantly reduces the amount of sweat released from the treated area. The effect lasts for several days and then gradually wears off on its own.

At first, apply odaban® every evening until the area stays dry. In the efficacy test, an average reduction of 71% in underarm sweating was measured after three evenings. After that, refreshing the application once or twice a week is usually sufficient.

Several days. The protection sits at the opening of the sweat duct rather than on the skin. That is why it remains effective even after showering and washing. After the initial phase, applying it once or twice a week is usually enough.

You sweat the least at night. Your skin is dry, allowing the active ingredient to work undisturbed. During the day, it comes into contact with fresh sweat, which weakens the effect and can irritate the skin. In the morning, wash the area as usual; the protection remains. How to use

Yes. Fresh sweat is virtually odorless. Odor only develops when bacteria on the skin break down sweat. Where little sweat is released, they lack the basis for producing odor. odaban® therefore reduces sweating and, as a result, odor.

odaban® only works where you apply it: on small areas such as the underarms, hands, feet, or forehead. The rest of your body continues to sweat and regulate your temperature. Therefore, do not treat large areas such as your entire head.

The effect is temporary. The barrier sits at the opening of the sweat duct and dissolves after a few days. If you stop using odaban®, the area will sweat as before.

It is usually due to one of three things: the skin was not completely dry when you applied it, you used too much product, or you applied it too often. Dry the area thoroughly, use one spray per underarm, and apply it in the evening. If the effect decreases after prolonged, frequent use, take a break for two to three weeks.

Yes, especially during the first few nights. The spray is highly concentrated. To help: dry the skin completely, use only a small amount of product, do not apply it directly after shaving, and skip one evening if you experience burning. If you have sensitive skin, test it on a small area first or apply it with a cotton pad.

The active ingredient is an aluminium salt. The EU Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) considers aluminium compounds in antiperspirants safe up to specified maximum levels; in 2026, the EU incorporated these maximum levels into the Cosmetics Regulation. The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment considers adverse health effects from antiperspirants containing aluminium chlorohydrate unlikely. Apply odaban® only to intact skin.

Yes. In 2014, dermatest tested the spray on 30 people in a patch test and rated it “very good.” The Antiperspirant Deo Stick and the shoe powder were also tested by dermatest. The test assesses skin compatibility, not efficacy.

No. odaban® is a cosmetic product and available without a prescription: in the online shop, pharmacies, Rossmann, and at dm and BIPA in Austria.

Do not apply odaban® to irritated, damaged, or freshly shaved skin. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, if you have a skin condition, or if you are unsure, speak to your doctor or pharmacist beforehand.
