Neat 3B Face Saver Gel

I suffer from Hyperhydrosis on my face only and it ruins my self confidence; every time I take a brief walk, go to a social event without air conditioning or am in a bit of a rush I start to sweat profusely from my top lip and hairline which is so embarrassing.After a recent work night out where I was mortified but how much I visible sweated, I decided I would finally try this, and WOW.I was very sceptical but applied this to clean skin and tested it out by going on my treadmill for 30 minutes. While my hair became slightly sweaty, my face was BONE DRY. I could feel the warmth of my face and was expecting the feel the sweat start but nothing came through; usually I am literally dripping with sweat within minutes. I couldn’t believe it and kept checking my face in my phone camera to make sure I wasn’t imagining it; my face was completely dry to the touch the whole time.I then got off the treadmill (still completely dry) and put it to the test by applying a full face of makeup immediately after a 30 min workout - my makeup went on smoothly and looked beautiful, with still not a single bead of sweat coming through. UNHEARD OF.I cannot believe how well this worked and I have FaceTimed all of my family to show them how amazing the results are; I am genuinely in disbelief!!Scent: Strong but pleasant fragrance. Avoid getting it on your lips as it tastes a bit grim haha!Texture: Very watery gel consistency, rub it in well and leave it to dry down before engaging in anything that will make you sweat. When it dries it will feel slightly tight and powdery.It leaves a VERY slight white cast on the skin which I was worried about, however when taking pics I was surprised to see that it didn’t cause flashback. When I applied my makeup over the top this was also not visible; I tested by taking pictures in a dark room with the flash on my camera and it looked absolutely great!The price is amazing and I honestly feel like this will give me a new lease of life; no more feeling self conscious at social events and meetings!

I suffer from excessive sweating from the neck up when I'm hot and/or stressed. My first use of it was a game changing one. I was about to dismantle a bed frame in a hot room, and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try it. I wasn't sure how much to use, so I slathered it on pretty thick all over my face, neck, back of the neck, and even behind my ears. The smell is intensely floral - it smells like the face powder my Gran used to wear. I can live with it, but some may find it far too intense. Luckily it doesn't last much longer after you apply it. I was really impressed with my first use. I didn't sweat at all and it made the experience of dismantling a large bed frame far more pleasant. Since then, I have used it a lot, but with varying degrees of success. Here are some observations:1. I've read this on a couple of other reviews, but I believe it loses effectiveness if you use it daily. As a result, I try to use it only on the days I really know I will need it, e.g. when I'm commuting on the train.2. You don't need to slather it on, but you do need to make sure you cover every area with it. If you miss even a small patch, you will still sweat from it. And if your scalp sweats (and you have hair obviously), you will have a weird sensation when sweat runs from your scalp onto your sweat-free face.3. When you first apply it, it's very sticky, and I find my hair gets stuck to my face, which is very annoying.4. When it dries, you might find your face looks quite shiny, especially your t-zone. However, this doesn't happen every time for me.5. Sometimes when I get into the office, having endured a hot and sweaty commute on an underground train and then a 1.5mile walk at a fast pace, I notice I have white tide marks on parts of my face, which is annoying. They come off with water.6. The instructions recommend you apply the gel, and then apply your face products after. I don't understand this, as the gel literally acts as a barrier on your skin, so you would just be applying face products to the gel layer. I'm sure it's fine putting make up on top (I don't wear much, but some of it sits well on top, some of it, especially creamier make up, smears). I apply products, such as serums and creams, before I apply the gel.7. In my opinion, the gold standard of face deodorants is Odaban. It's a spray which you apply to a dry face every night for a couple of weeks, and then a few times a week thereafter. It takes a couple of weeks to work, but once it does, it is incredible. The only problem with Odaban is that if you lose the routine of applying it, especially in the first couple of weeks, then you lose the protection. This is why the face saver gel is a great alternative, but like I say, it has its limitations.

so i only recently discovered that facial antiperspirant was a thing, and was really excited to try it out.I work in a coffee shop, it's hot with all the machines around and the running about serving customers. I sweat A LOT because of this. So I wanted to try this out.I found it worked well for a few days, but then it was like my face got used to it and kept pushing the sweat through, so it lasted less and less time. at first i was getting about 5 or 6 hours out of it, then after a week or two it was down to maybe 3 hours.my other negative is that it's far too expensive for a little tube. i think, using conservatively, i'd maybe get 3 or 4 weeks out of this. which i don't think is great really. especially when it doesn't last as long as expected or work as well as hoped.so i wont be adding it to my daily routine, just for special occasions i think.the pros are that it's easy to apply and smells lovely, with a very light scent.cons: doesn't last long, too expensive.
