3B Face Saver Antiperspirant Gel for Facial Perspiration & Shine, White and Blue, 1.76 Fl Oz

Ladies: Facial sweat sucks, yes?? ...Especially if u want to wear makeup.For me, I swear my body seems to want to expel all of my it's sweat that needs to escape only thru my face. Which, of course, is embarrassing per se.... But, I was so pleased with a discovery I recently made in regards to this issue, that I felt it's only right that I share it with any & all of u that might struggle just the same....So, I've been trying different facial deodorants recently after I first saw a commercial for Carpé's special all-over deodorants while watching TV last year. So I started with their specailized facial deodorant lotion, but their lil tube($24.95) ran out WAY TOO FAST & the liquid lotion seemed to take forever to dry after applying. I then tried Lumi's whole body deodorant creme($20.44), but I did not like what theirs did to my makeup when applying it on top. Worst of all, both did not do a fantastic job, either. I'd quickly begin to sweat right thru both of them less than an hour after my first application of the day. (Both Carpé & Lumi are available on Amazon & Amazon's prices are what is noted here, but when I purchased I did so directly from their sites.)I thought about this issue some more and realized I made one very silly, elementary mistake: I'm looking to prevent the sweat itself-not odor, especially seeing as my facial sweat doesn't really emit an odor like one's armpits would.So, I ran a revised Google search for a facial antiperspirant versus deodorant & I finally found something that I instantly had the instinct might actually truly work....And it does! At least so far, as it's really only my first day having tried it, but it works so well, I swear I dont believe I'm jumping the gun sharing my thoughts on it now. I was just so excited & had to share...It's called Neat 3B (brand) Face Saver Gel facial *antiperspirant*. They market it to public figure athletes, noting in their product description & even written directly on the tube's label, "For active or Sports People". (Lol, such a weird way to say that, no?). For example, (not that she actually uses or endorses this or any such product in anyway that I know of), but take Serena Williams... Tennis can be a strenuous sport & us women, (I played myself in H.S.), we play it (especially on TV) in cute lil skirts & makeup. This stuff is targeted for people just like her to use. *AND IT WORKS*. It's description also specifically notes that it's OK to use under makeup. The gel gets absorbed quickly & dries smooth, cool & dry to the touch. It even says right on the bottle that it has (facial) "Primer Qualities".There are only 2 downsides I've found at all: 1. The tube I purchased holds only 1.76 oz. & if you're someone like me who more than likely might use this year-long, (in winter my face obv doesn't sweat when I'm outdoors, but the second I step indoors, especially when out shopping at stores in which we usually keep our coats on all while inside stores that keep their heat CRANKED all the way up for whatever reason). So of your like me and gonna be almost a daily user/using pretty much as often as u would wear makeup maybe-that's gonna be gone fast. So I wish they sold a larger tube. And 2. (this is only a downside to those who really gaf which I don't), but it does contain Aluminium Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex Gly...16%, the active ingredient that makes it an antiperspirant as opposed to just a deodorant. I could care less-doesnt cause problems for me as some people express it does for them.Those two "downsides" pale in comparison to how well it works! For the first time in a very long time throughout the second half of my life: I felt cool, relaxed, NORMAL.....Instead of hot, irritated & embarrassed...Walking around with sweat pouring down my face in stores making everyone around me, especially those I end up interacting with like cashiers, look at me like, "This chick looks nervous like she stole something," or "This chick is a hot mess." (Which anyone who might think that when looking at me in that situation is totally justified in such an assumption-completely rational. LOL. To be free of that AND best of all to be able to wear makeup every single day without the fear of melting it all instantly off my face whenever the sweat faucet in my head turns on with an ounce of movement whatsoever = true freedom again. Beautiful thing, trust. I can go back to me again. Truly, thank you, Neat 3B!

I live in the south on the East Coast in a swampy area of the country. I'm also just a naturally sweaty person. Most antiperspirants don't work for me so I was skeptical about this one. However, it does work really really well. It lasts, it's a bit drying, but it hasn't broken me out. Completely clear, easy to use, but the stench of the fragrance that they add to this is hard to ignore. It doesn't linger, but I just hate applying it simply for the fact that the fragrances not overly offensive, but it's one of those very dry and salty? stereotypical fresh fragrances that you just don't want to smell on your upper lip.I will say that there's no way to apply or reapply sunscreen effectively when using this product. Any moisturizing ingredients immediately pill up on top of this. The way that I apply it is putting on all of my moisturizing skin care first, allowing it to soak in, then I apply this and it takes about a heaping dime size and I focus on my T-Zone and I blend it out. When using makeup I apply a thin but even later of a sticky primer like the elf hydro grip primer and then I can apply my makeup regularly. If you put a water-based foundation directly on top of it, it pills up, if you try to apply sunscreen on top it pills up. But if you don't mind not being able to reapply SPF then I highly recommend it. It lasts all day.

Didn’t work for me. I rarely go out but when I do, especially for outings like dinner or graduations, I don’t want to be sweaty. I sweat a lot in my face. Even before I leave. I think it’s mental related cuz I’m getting ready and don’t want to go. I don’t sweat like this normally. Anyway, I put it on, and I let it dry. Then apply lotion on top. I sweat. What feels like the same. It didn’t work for me. I’ve tried this a handful of times and each time, I’m wipe my forehead and cheeks the whole time until I cool down.Texture:It’s clear and thick. Almost like a thick gel with some resistance.Smell:I didn’t notice any weird smells.
