Absolute Dry is an extra effective antiperspirant, preventing sweating and bad smell for up to 7 days. It can be used for all kinds of sweat, like underarms, hands and feet. Absolute Dry is recommended as first line treatment in hyperhidrosis, excessive sweating, but can be used by anyone looking for a unique, safe and reliable antiperspirant. Absolute Dry contains no perfume, color or preservatives.

Yes, Absolute Dry can be used on the forehead and face, but it is advisable to first try it on a small area since the skin is normally more sensitive here. Please be careful not to get the liquid into your eyes. We recommend using the Absolute Dry Wipe, for more convenient application.

Hyperhidrosis is a condition characterized by excessive sweating, exceeding the functional needs linked to regulating body temperature etc. Most often the excessive sweating is limited to armpits, palms, soles, head, face and neck, but it can also be general, across larger areas of the body.

Hyperhidrosis usually starts off during the childhood, teenage years or early adulthood. Sweaty hands and feet usually starts early, whereas underarm sweating begins during the teens. Hyperhidrosis is equally common among men and women and it is hereditary.

Absolute Dry is available in three formats, dab-on, wet wipes and (only under the brand Absolut Torr) roll-on. All with the same long-lasting effect against all kinds of sweat, but the different modes of application.

Absolute Dry Dab-on is the original Absolute Dry product. It has been available in the Swedish pharmacies since the mid-1980s. The Absolute Dry liquid is applied to the skin with a dab-o-matic applicator attached to the bottle, by dabbing it onto the skin.

Absolute Dry Wipes was launched as a practical line extension, for larger skin areas like back or chest as well as hands and feet, where the dab-on might be somewhat inconvenient to use. The format is also very convenient for traveling./p>

For the roll-on, the formula has been slightly adjusted, but the concentration is the same and so is the efficacy.

Absolute Dry contains aluminum chloride, which in contact with moisture can cause local itching, tingling, redness and light pain in the skin. Most often the reaction is a result of the skin not being completely dry during or directly after application, so please take the time to both towel dry and air dry the skin area before applying the product. Usually the symptoms occur the first half hour after application, but in case of sensitive, moist or newly shaven skin the symptoms can be more severe and last longer. If the skin gets red and itchy a mild hydro cortisone cream can be applied.

Antiperspirants like Absolute Dry contain aluminum. Aluminum is the most abundant metal and the third most abundant chemical element, after oxygen and silicon, in the Earth’s crust. The aluminum in our bodies comes almost exclusively from food and water, but for instance storing and cooking food – especially with low pH value – in aluminum cookware as well as excessive consumption of certain antacids can increase the levels.

Since there are sometimes rumors that antiperspirants are hazardous to your health, it might be beneficial to understand how they work. When antiperspirants are applied to the skin, the aluminum forms a sort of gel plug, called polymers, in the sweat duct, locally preventing the sweating. For a compound to penetrate the skin and enter the blood stream for systemic flow and effect, the molecule can have a weight of no more than 700 Dalton. The polymers formed by antiperspirants in contact with sweat is much bigger and heavier than that.

If the use of aluminum containing antiperspirants is still a concern, you can always choose to use aluminum free deodorants instead. They do not prevent the sweating however, only mask and reduce the smell.

There are no specific restrictions as to the use of Absolute Dry during pregnancy and breast-feeding, but if you feel worried and concerned please consult your midwife, antenatal clinic or childcare center.

If your sweating or hyperhidrosis is significantly impacting your private of professional life, treatment with an extra effective antiperspirant like Absolute Dry can be a great relief, but if it is not considered to be enough there is still help available. Consult your doctor for advice. One treatment option is the use of Botox injections.

Since antiperspirants contain aluminum salt, there is a risk of crystallization that can get the roll-on ball stuck. If the product has not been used in a while or is to be used for the first time, you might need to apply preassure with your thumbs or the palm of you hand to get it moving again. For Absolute Dry, the risk of this to occur is higher, because of the higher concentration. As instructed on the pack, the product is to be stored upright.
