Excessive sweating and body odor

For many people who sweat, conventional OTC (over the counter) antiperspirants and deodorants can be effective for people with body odor due to sweating. However, people who experience excessive sweating and hyperhydrosis, deodorants and conventional antiperspirants will not work for either sweating or body odor. However, the lower acid levels (pH) in some antiperspirants can reduce odor because the lower pH makes it less attractive for bacteria to breed. Maxim antiperspirant can reduce body odor by suppressing the sweating that helps bacteria to grow. You can also use an oxidizing agent such as 10% benzoyl peroxide for odor. The 10% BP will oxidize the bacteria that causes odor and is very effective at controlling body odor due to excessive sweating. However, the BP can bleach your clothing. Maxim is the best defense to fight excessive sweating which will help reduce your body odor.
