Can I use Aldry lotion on my face to help with excessive sweating? I've been really struggling with it, and I'm not sure if it's safe or will cause any irritation. What do you think?

  1. Effectiveness: Aldry lotion, containing Aluminium Chlorohydrate 20%, is effective in reducing facial sweating by temporarily blocking sweat glands.

  2. Safety: Generally safe for facial use, but facial skin is more sensitive.

  3. Irritation Risk: Possible skin irritation, redness, or itching, especially on sensitive or broken skin.

  4. Usage Tips: a. Apply a small amount to a limited area initially. b. Avoid use on broken or freshly shaved skin.

  5. Consultation: Discontinue use and consult a dermatologist if irritation persists.

In summary, Aldry lotion can be used on the face for excessive sweating with caution to avoid irritation. Monitor your skin's response for safety.
