Everybody sweats. For some people, a decent deodorant is all that’s needed to feel comfortable about it. But for those who have a tendency to perspire in places other than their pits, there are other products that can help in the confidence sector and put a stop to sweat.
After all, sweat glands can be found all over the body. Aside from our underarms, they tend to be located in higher numbers around the soles of our feet, palms of our hands, and the groin.
And we’ve certainly all had the annoying experience of a sweaty forehead messing up our makeup and hairstyle, too.
So if you’re a sweaty person looking for solutions, here are some products you should know about.
Neat Feat 3B Face Saver Gel
We say: Ever wished there was such a thing as a deodorant for your face? Well, this Face Saver gel might just be the answer. Developed by leading doctors in New Zealand, this powerful emollient helps to prevent excess moisture and perspiration on the face (the active ingredient is an Aluminium-Zirconium-Tetrachlorohydrex-Glycine complex). And it’s not the only Neat Feat sweat solution either; the brand also has a Foot Saver roll-on and Hand Saver lotion.
You say: “When I applied it at night, that was a game-changer! My face remained completely dry the following day, despite being active in the humid Sydney summer. I can still cleanse my face in the morning without affecting its performance. I only use this in summer on days that I’m going out in the heat – not every day. I’m currently on about my third tube.” – Misfortune8

We say: Stop sweat rash and chafing before it becomes red and sore. This preventative cream offers sweat protection and provides lubrication for areas prone to perspiration and uncomfortable rubbing.

Revlon Oil Absorbing Volcanic Roller
We say: We first heard about the Revlon volcanic roller when it went viral on TikTok. And it turns out the shine-stopper isn’t just a gimmick. Those who are constantly battling a reflective forehead and sweaty face swear by it. Simply roll it over the skin and the volcanic stone soaks up any moisture. The best part? It’s washable and reusable.
You say: “The rollerball is made of a special natural stone that lifts away any oils and removes that shine on the skin that I get when my skin gets too oily looking. It can work just on plain skin, after moisturising or after make-up at any time of day. So this is a very versatile and useful tool that doesn’t add more product to the skin to mattify it – instead it gently removes the oil by soaking it into the rolly stone.” – Clearcrystalwater

Swisspers Oil-Control Blot-Off Oil Tissues
We say: Prefer carrying old-school blotting papers in your purse? With a 4.6 star rating from 50 reviews, this is the go-to pack for a lot of bh members.
You say: “These very affordable blotting oil sheets are always in my wallet! They are so easy to use and are very convenient when it comes to needing to get rid of shine on the face without wanting to touch up and adding coverage. I especially use these when i am clubbing and everyone is a fan!” – Mariamartino

NIVEA Men Stress Protect Roll-On Deodorant for Men
We say: Did you know stress sweat is different from regular sweat? It comes from the apocrine glands instead of the eccrine glands, which are richer in proteins and lipids. And when these fats and nutrients mix with the bacteria on the skin, it creates body odour. So if you’re finding a regular deodorant isn’t cutting it for you or a loved one, a stress-specific formula could be the fix.
You say: “I love this deodorant. It’s my go to. Yes, I’m a female but I’ve always found men’s deodorants more effective and often prefer the scent. This one smells good, doesn’t leave white cast or stain clothes, keeps you smelling fresh all day and lasts a long time as in how many uses you get per bottle.” – BohemianWanderlust

Mitchum Clinical Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant Powder Fresh
We say: If you’re after one of the best sweat stop products, over 60 reviews will tell you that Mitchum is a top deodorant choice. It leaves underarms dry with no sticky residue and the smell is subtle but fresh, just like baby powder.
You say: “This deodorant is perfect for anyone looking for a reasonably priced deodorant that actually lasts all day, even throughout a heat wave. I don’t need to stress about body odor or excessive sweating when I use this. It’s a simple, cheap item you can easily pick up at the supermarket but don’t underestimate how good it is. A staple in my home, I’ve even bought the male version for my partner.” – Beauty_by_hm

What are some of the best sweat stop products you’ve tried?
I’ve never seen a facial antiperspirant before
new one for me too
I’ve also wanted to try the Revlon volcanic stone facial roller! I’ve seen the videos and it works so well
I don’t sweat hardly at all but if I get hot I sweat on my cheeks and head! So I tend to get a lot of oils up there too. Funny, because I barely and rarely sweat anywhere else on my entire body. lol we’re all made differently!
Like to try Neat Feat Face Gel for sweaty face. Already a fan of Mitchum products.
I got to try the Neat Feat Gel in the Summer DB and found that it works almost immediately and gives a couple of hours relief.
I don’t sweat alot unless I’m exercising, I did sweat a lot more when I was living in the tropics.
Mitchum is great but I hate the women’s version and prefer the men’s with no scent/fragrance.
mens are much better and not so sweet
Love the 3b face saver
Mitchum is the best, by far my pick of deodorants
To stop? Nope, not good. I shower . And basically that is it.
I was finding that I still had a sweaty odour about me until a friend recommended I try using a male deodorant and this works fine for me as I no longer worry about smelling sweaty.
The post by Among1 looks like spam, but there’s no option to report spam at the moment. I might email BH later and let them know about it.
I’ve got the Neat Feet Face Saver, here too use.
I’m not a sweaty person at all.
Can attest that Mitchum works for me. I would like to try that Revlon volcanic roller.
I don’t sweat much so a deodorant is all I need to use.
A regular deodorant does the trick for me.
Nivea deodorant is most purchased deodorant & I buy Mitchum when we have a extremelu humid Summer.
I do like the sound of the Revlon Oil Absorbing Volcanic Roller.
I’m testing out the Neat Feat at the moment as part of the Self-Care Summer Discovery Bag and have found that it is very effective, although I do need to reapply after a couple of hours. I’d like to give the Mitchum Anti-perspirant a try soon too.
I’ve tried other Dermal products so this one should work well too
We shouldn’t be trying to stop our bodies from sweating as it is an inbuilt cooling system and helps to regulate our body temperature and flush toxins out.
I prefer to let my body do what it’s designed to do and sweating is a natural function.
I prefer men’s deodorants too . Always much more effective
Interesting. I wonder how much these things actually do in high humidity.
I get mad chafing in summer, and use a lot of deodorant too. I’m not too much of a sweaty person, but I do socialise a lot and these products come in really handy.
Would really like to try the Revlon Oil Absorbing Volcanic Roller. Now days I try to look for deodorants that keep you from sweating for 47 hours, it is really good Nivea One.
very hand products to have
The facial anti-perspirant is interesting! The Revlon roller ball is so good for oily skin gals.
Not generally a sweaty person but I’ve been suffering from hot flushes lately
I’m on medication that increases sweating, so it’s a real pain in summer.
I thought the volcanic rock roller was just for oil? Hmm, I might have to give that one a go!
I was hoping there’d be something for my teenage son – but I think it’s mostly hormones for him. And hopefully will get better.
just what i need lol
I tried Nivea but not the other brands.
Honestly, I’d rather sweat… If people are grossed out then that’s on them…
that deodrant is soooo good
I don’t tend to sweat much but good to know there are products out there to assist with this issue.
Excessive sweating is not really a problem for me.
I have tried some products from Dermal Therapy before (although not this one). They are very good.
