Should I use Gillette Clinical Strength differently?
Gillette Clinical Strength can be effective when used as you use traditional anti-perspirants, but for optimal results, follow these instructions carefully:
- Apply Gillette Clinical Strength at bedtime to minimize excess nighttime perspiration. An additional morning application is not necessary; you will be protected throughout the day, even if you bathe or shower after application. If you neglect to apply it at night, morning application will still provide strong protection.
- Gillette Clinical Strength should be applied according to your personal needs. A light layer is recommended, and three clicks per arm is the average. But because Gillette Clinical Strength is so gentle on your skin, you may apply as much as you feel is necessary.
- Most men find the nighttime application sufficient to control excessive wetness for the following day. However, if you feel more protection is needed, a morning reapplication of Gillette Clinical Strength, or the use of another anti-perspirant, is acceptable.
How is Gillette Clinical Strength better than a prescription underarm product?
Many prescription strength anti-perspirants contain the active ingredient aluminum chloride. Aluminum chloride is more acidic than the active ingredient in Gillette Clinical Strength. Research has shown that anti-perspirants which contain aluminum chloride can be irritating to the underarm skin. In fact, the skin irritation is often so severe that discontinued use is required. In addition, aluminum chloride can be damaging to some clothing, often causing staining and/or discoloration.
Gillette Clinical Strength does not contain aluminum chloride. In fact, its patented formula contains powerful Triple Protection Technology with skin conditioning ingredients that will help minimize irritation.
How does Gillette Clinical Strength provide 34-percent better wetness protection than a prescription product (6.25-percent AlCl3)?
Gillette Clinical Strength was tested in two 10-day clinical studies against a current marketed prescription anti-perspirant. Subjects had product applied to their underarms everyday for nine days. Both products were applied at bedtime as current marketed prescription products instruct to "apply at night." In both studies, Gillette Clinical Strength performed significantly better than the prescription product for providing wetness protection throughout the study. Overall, the clinical studies resulted in Gillette Clinical Strength providing 34-percent better wetness protection than a prescription product.
Why do we perspire?
Sweating is your bodys way of releasing excess heat and cooling itself. Sweating is natural under any condition, but sweating can be intensified by any number of elements, including warm weather, exercise and stress.
Bedtime application gives you effective protection the following day. |
How much perspiration is too much?
Excessive sweating is not fully understood and can be related to any number of medical or physiological conditions, including hyperhidrosis. Only you can decide if your sweating is excessive. Gillette Clinical Strength is designed to provide protection for anyone who feels embarrassed by his perspiration, or unable to control it. What is an anti-perspirant?
Anti-perspirants block the flow of sweat from sweat glands, thus reducing wetness. Because perspiration stimulates odor-causing bacteria, anti-perspirant also reduces body odor. Additionally, most anti-perspirants are scented, so they fight odor even more.
How does anti-perspirant work?
Anti-perspirants use sweat against itself. Once applied, the anti-perspirant is dissolved by sweat, and the dissolved anti-perspirant particles form superficial plugs just below the skins surface. These plugs block the release of more perspiration. Generally, the plugs will stay in place for about 24 hours and are then washed away over time.
If sweating is natural, will this product be too strong and affect my body's ability to cool itself?
Absolutely not! Reducing sweating in the underarm has virtually no effect on the body's ability to cool itself. The number of sweat glands in the underarms represents a very small area of the body. There are many sweat glands on other parts of your body. So, the vast majority of your body heat is released from other parts of your body.
Why should I use Gillette Clinical Strength at bedtime?
At night, your bodys temperature and sweat rate slow. By applying Gillette Clinical Strength as this is occurring, little or no anti-perspirant is washed away by sweat, and you ensure great effectiveness of the plugs. Applied at night, Gillette Clinical Strength is so effective that morning reapplication is not even required, though it is permissible.
