 How
should I apply Maxim* for excessive sweating?
For excessive
sweating, here's how you apply Maxim - Apply Maxim at night time
before you go to bed (yes at night time) to effectively treat excessive
sweating. Why is this? You need to let it absorb into your skin.
You can shower in the morning (you could probably get away with
showering an hour after application, but wait the whole night).
In the morning, follow your normal hygiene routine whether that
includes applying your regular "antiperspirant" or deodorant; it
will not affect Maxim. You should see results the first day. If
you don't continue to apply for one week. If your skin becomes too
itchy or irritated, stop applying and wait until it goes away, then
start applying again. You may only be able to apply it once every
couple of days if your skin is really sensitive.
Should
I be concerned about any side affects?
 Excessive
Sweating is worry enough. This is one question that frequently comes
up to our support staff. Should you be concerned about any side affects?
In reality, there is a small percentage of our customers who do report
some side affects. However, they are pretty minor. The most common
side affect can be itching or burning, particularly if you apply the
antiperspirant to broken or irritated skin. We recommend to avoid
itching or burning, do not apply Maxim to irritated skin or broken
skin. Discontinue if rash occurs. Some customers will discontinue
use if the irritation is too much. After a few days when the irritation
stops, people will try to apply a very small amount to a very localized
area of the axillea armpit, most often, right in the center and they
have reported good results.
Compesatory
Sweating is another common side affect that one may experience when
using Maxim. When this occurs, it is due to the body’s natural ability
to compensate and perspire outside of the arm pit area. The body
has over 2,700 square inches of skin on which to perspire compared
to about 6-10 square inches under the armpit. The armpit is not
necessary for thermoregulation. Stopping sweating under the armpit
will not effect your health. Those who have compensatory perspiration
may experience very mild if any during heavy physical activity and
is nothing to worry about. Personally, the benefits of the cessation
of underarm wetness far outweigh any compensatory perspiration that
I have experienced. The other side affect can be underarm irritation.
Personally, very rarely I will experience some minor itching but
again, it is a minor inconvenience and very tolerable compared to
the alternative.
Can
or should I apply a deodorant while using
Maxim?
 Since
Maxim is an antiperspirant that should eliminate your hyperhidrosis,
many people do not require a deodorant. However, some people, including
myself apply a deodorant because the armpit is typically a breading
ground for bacteria, that's what causes the order. If you do apply
a deodorant, try to avoid deodorants with fragrances because fragrances
can cause further irritation if you already have sensitive skin.
The best deodorants that I have found tend to be sticks like with
baking soda. People also use baby powder.
