Who is Degree® Clinical Protection For?

Anyone who does not want to be held back by perspiration or odor will benefit from Degree clinical protection levels.

How do I use it?

For maximum protection, apply to underarms before going to bed. While resting, the TRIsolid™ formula acclimates to the body, forming a deep level of protection. This protection lasts throughout the following day, even after a shower. Degree® Clinical Protection can also be applied in the morning. The recommended dose for each underarm is 2 clicks.

Why apply Degree® Clinical Protection at night?

Research shows that body temperature is not constant throughout the day and oscillates in a cycle known as the Circadian Rhythm. Under natural conditions, body temperature oscillates from a nighttime low of 97.7°F to a midday high of 98.9°F. Due to this cycle, skin is more receptive to Degree® Clinical Protection while sleeping. This gives the formula time to work and build a strong level of protection for the day ahead.

What do I do about excess sweating?

Past puberty, axillary (underarm) sweat and odor are normal body functions. Regular anti-perspirants can be effective in reducing normal levels of underarm sweating. However, some people may experience hyperhidrosis, a medical condition otherwise known as excessive sweating. Axillary hyperhidrosis can be a distressing problem and typically requires a stronger form of protection. To learn more about excessive sweating, go to www.antiperspirantsinfo.com or contact your local doctor or physician.

What is the difference between Deodorants and Anti-perspirants?

Normally body temperature is in balance – i.e. the heat generated by the body is the same as the heat leaving the body. However, when more heat is generated this balance shifts and the body becomes too hot. To re-establish the heat equilibrium, the body needs to increase heat output – this is achieved by sweating. Sweating can also occur in emotional situations when a person becomes nervous or embarrassed. Anti-perspirants reduce sweat by controlling the flow of underarm perspiration and masking body odor. Deodorants, on the other hand, prevent odor by using fragrance and by reducing the levels of underarm bacteria. However, deodorants alone do not stop sweating.

How many times should I “click” to dispense the soft solid, and why?

Two clicks is the recommended amount, because it should be enough soft solid to cover your underarm area and provide prescription strength wetness protection. If you find that it’s not enough for proper coverage, it is ok to add another click or two in order to fully cover your underarm area.

According to a medical definition, "Hyperhidrosis is a medical condition in which a person sweats excessively and unpredictably. People with hyperhidrosis may sweat even when the temperature is cool or when they are at rest." Sweating is the body’s natural method to stay cool. However, people who suffer from hyperhydrosis have excessive sweating without normal sweat triggers such as warm temperatures, exercise, or emotional responses. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, or AAD , hyperhidrosis affects about 8 million Americans. In majority of primary hyperhidrosis cases, no cause can be found.
