SweatBlockClinical Strength Antiperspirant Wipes for Men and Women Excessive Sweat Protection Hyperhidrosis Treatment Stops Underarm Perspiration Up to 7 Days Includes 10 Individually Wrapped Wipes

Of all the reviews I have ever left on Amazon, this one has to be not only one of the earliest postings after receiving the product, but also one of the most satisfying to write. I want to start off by saying that surprisingly, I don't sweat under my arms excessively, ever. In fact I don't really sweat under my arms at all. I can work outside all day and use some dollar store brand of anti perspirant and come away at the end of a hot day with at the most, a slight dampness under my arms. It's truly the only place on my body where I don't sweat. I wouldn't have any use for this product if that was the end of the story, but its not. My problem is sweating on the face and forehead. Even in a situation where it is rather cool and dry and everyone around me seems to be comfortably settled in with dry hair and faces, it at times can be pouring off me, sometimes relentlessly, for hours even. Anyone that has ever had such a problem well knows how embarrassing and unsightly this can be. Any "solution" to the problem in the past ran the gamut of stuffing my pockets with paper towels to just making excuses for not showing up for some event or whatever when you know its going to be unbearably hot. Over the years I have tried many drug store brands of so called super powered sweat controlling anti perspirants just to have them be relentlessly ineffective and a waste of money. It is, and has been a problem that I thought up till now had no solution. Then I discovered Sweat Block..Sweat Block, (SB) has been so effective for me for this problem that it almost qualifies as a miracle drug. In fact its only by the favor of excessive sweating never actually killing anyone that keeps it out of that miraculous category. SB is nothing more than some highly concentrated formula of aluminum chloride or something or other that is found in many anti perspirants. But trust me, the similarity ends there. They don't work,....This does, fantastically. The box comes with 8 sealed towelettes that are soaked with the formula that you tear open and dab on your skin. It's clear, near odorless, and dries in a jiffy. Just to get the facts straight, SBs instructions clearly state that it's for "underarms only". But after reading the dazzling reviews of this stuff here I just couldn't resist. I figured the worst that could happen is that I would lose $20 and end up looking like the sweating slob I always do under the mildest of conditions. From the very first morning after applying it, it was obvious that this stuff was as superbly effective as most of the glowing reviews here attest too. I simply stopped sweating, period. When pushed to the limit of activity or heat, a slight dampness or "sheen" would appear on my face that was not at all long lasting, nor embarrassing. I felt like a new man. I have been actually going out of my way to sweat and enjoying the dryness that I am so unfamiliar with. It is important that you use this product as described in the directions. Your underarms/head should be dry, and remain dry for at least 3 hours after application. (Which is the reason why they recommend applying it just before bed). Given these simple rules, I can only tell you this stuff is as effective and satisfying as anything I can ever remember purchasing in a personal hygiene category. As for being a renegade and using it on my forehead and face as opposed to my underarms, I can only tell you that personally I have suffered absolutely no tingling, redness, rash, or anything else detrimental with my alternative use. Despite Sweat Blocks explicit but simply stated warning that its for underarm use only, I feel compelled to recommend it to anyone that suffers such a problem as I do. (And I know I am far from alone with it). It's worth a shot and one time expense, I promise you.One last helpful hint. As stated already, SB comes in sealed packets as a moist towelette. I don't know if its that my forehead or face is smaller than a pair of underarms, or that I am just cheaper than the average Joe in trying to use the towelettes twice. But in any event, I have learned that dabbing my face with the pads and then just resealing the still moist towelette inside the packets again tightly with tape or a paper clip has afforded me double the use of each pad, with no reduction in its effectiveness. I simply tear open the packet, apply, reseal it, and then use the same towelette 5 days later and one box lasts near 16 weeks instead of 8. (Like a lot of others here, I like the 5 day rule of reapplication instead of the promised seven, just to make sure). This may not work for all people depending on how bad your sweating problem is. But for me personally, double use has just added an extra smile of satisfaction to an already stunningly effective product. This cost saving (cheap) test run on yourself may be very much worth trying as well. In conclusion, whether your problem with sweating is on your face or head, or just the sentimental favorite underarms, I give Sweat Block my highest recommendation. This product has been a Godsend to me, and it just may be to you too... : )

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It actually works. I apply by blotting (not rubbing) it on at night and NEVER on freshly shaved pits. Been using for a few weeks and it’s only made me feel irritation and itchiness once. Tip: the towelette is so moist and large, I cut in half and save one in a sandwich baggie for next time.Works best for me if applied every other day or so. Sometimes I forget for several days and it still mostly works which is better than nothing.Does not work on chest and back, I tried lol

Let me start by saying that I admit my expectations or hopes for this product may have been a bit high. I do suffer from excessive perspiration or "cranial-facial hyperhydrosis". Mine is brought on by warmth or sudden increases in temperature. My job requires me to be outside most of the time. In the summer, just a short time in the sun under even light exertion would cause a fountain of sweat from my forehead & down my nose. In the winter, after being outside in to cold, walking into even a climate controlled room (68-73*F) would cause the waterworks to start. A co-worker once compared it to condensation on a can or bottle after bringing it out of the refrigerator into a warm room lol.Needless to say, this was embarrassing, as my job has me dealing with the public, and it was difficult to put my best foot forward. Much of the time, I'd be talking to people I'd never met & answering questions. You never get a 2nd chance to make a first impression. So it didn't matter how professional I was, or how much I knew, if I was a hot, sweaty mess & looked like I was about to die, it didn't inspire confidence. On top of that, once the sweating started, my self-consciousness & anxiety about it only made it worse: "am I sweating? Can they see me sweating? Is it more awkward to wipe my face or to just let it run?" I carry paper towels from the men's room in my pocket CONSTANTLY. For whatever reason though, I hate wiping off my sweaty mug in front of people. I'm not sure why; they know I'm sweating, I know I'm sweating, why not just deal with it? I'm telling you, social anxiety is no joke.So that's where this product comes in. Now to be fair, I knew my problem was bad, & I was desperate for a solution. So I also ordered Face Saver by Neat 3B (which I covered in a separate review). Didn't want to pin all my hopes & dreams to one product.So, for those unfamiliar with Sweat-Block, it's a wipe-based antiperspirant designed to eliminate excessive sweating. It's designed to be used on your underarms; in fact, the directions say to apply to your underarms ONLY. Oh well...Sweat-Block is designed to be applied at night before bed. The reason for this is because most people's sweat glands are not very active while they're sleeping, & it gives the product time to penetrate the skin & do it's magic, instead of being sweated right back off. The product states it will give you up to 7 days of protection with one application. So in a perfect world, 8 wipes would last about 2 months. Eh... I haven't seen results last that long myself. But then again, I'm also using it in a manner not indicated by the directions, so that's probably not Sweat-Block's fault.Application is simple; open the small package (it's like a wipe from a BBQ or chicken wing restaurant) and apply to the skin. Simply dab, or place the wipe on the skin, & press; DON'T RUB. It states that rubbing the wipe on the skin can cause excessive irritation. They're not kidding. I'm not sure how or why it makes a difference, but it does. Trust me. Once applied, go to bed & let it do it's thing. It dries fairly quickly, so no worries about it being rubbed off while you sleep. It's that easy.Now it is a strong antiperspirant, & states it can cause minor irritation (for which they recommend an anti-itch cream. But again, that probably applies to using the product on your underarms per the directions). Myself, I've never had too much of an issue with irritation from the product. When I wake up the next day after applying, my skin feels a little tight & drier than normal. I'd compare it to having a MILD sunburn. It doesn't hurt, per se. Just different.As far as applying goes, I read a description somewhere that the product possesses a "pleasant clove smell". That's an understatement. It smells like you opened a jar of cloves & stuck your nose in it. And you'll continue to smell it (because it's on your face) until you go to sleep. But fortunately, I haven't noticed the smell still hanging around in the morning. But if you don't like the smell, you may have a hard time with this product.As far as effectiveness, the product does what it says. It stops EXCESSIVE perspiration. It doesn't stop ALL perspiration. And I admit that perhaps my hopes were a little high. I knew I had a problem & was looking for a miracle. I don't believe that a product exists that will completely eliminate all sweating from my face. But this helped a lot. I never did get a full week of protection from it though. If I apply the product on Sunday night before the work week starts, I usually need another application Wednesday or Thursday night.I WILL say that the combination of Sweat-Block & Face Saver provides the most benefit. Face Saver is a gel designed to be applied in the morning. You simply apply a light layer of the gel to your face & let it dry. Easy enough. It gives me a little extra protection in case I missed an area with the wipe, or if that's the day the Sweat-Block application finally wears off. So, the first day or two after using the Sweat-Block, & the Face Saver every morning, tends to be my best days.All in all, I think this product lived up to it's claims. I think I was hoping for more, & therefore slightly disappointed that it wasn't the miracle I was looking for. But that's not the product's fault. You can't go buy apples & then be upset when you get them home because they're not oranges.***A word of warning***Sweating is the body's natural way of cooling itself through evaporation. It's a necessary evil, not just a hassle. I've never been a sweaty guy in any area other than my face/head. That changed when I started using these products. Preventing the sweat from coming out on your face simply creates a dam; it's still got to go SOMEWHERE. I've started sweating in places I've never sweat before; my back (lower back especially, I can feel it trickle down occasionally), feet, legs, palms. I even had droplets of sweat forming & running down my forearms at one point. Now I don't sweat all these other places at once, mind you. These are just the various locations it's popped up at different times. It's a small price to pay in my opinion, & I'd much rather do that since they're places that aren't typically visible. If you're going to try this or any other product to decrease facial sweating, just be aware of this potential consequence.

I was skeptical when I read about these sweat blocking wipes but I was willing to try to see for myself. I didn’t really want to spend that much money for an antiperspirant that didn’t work. Well I am so glad i tried they because they work great! I have used them under my arms and under and in between my breasts area and I can truly tell you they work! I put it on at night before bed -just as directed. I can say when you first put it on there is a strong chemical smell but that disappears after a while. Give them a try- I don’t think you will be disappointed. I am so glad a decided to try these wipes!
