How Does DryDerm Gel WorkAfter applying DryDerm, a layer of gel coats the surface of the skin. As the gel dries, the active ingredients begin to go to work. One of the ingredients in DryDerm is called salicylate or salicylic acid. It is a keratolytic agent or helps to soften the keratin found in the outer layer of the skin. By doing so, salicylate clears the pores and allows the perspiration blocking agent (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) in DryDerm better access to the sweat gland ducts. Given that salicylate is chemically related to Aspirin, it also enjoys anti-inflammatory properties helping reduce or prevent possible skin irritation. DryDerm also contains emollients known as glycerides. These help reduce any potential for skin irritation by providing a surface barrier and keeping skin hydrated. |
Essentially, DryDerm works its way into the terminal end of the sweat gland, also known as the acrosyringium. In turn, this will result in blocking the production of sweat. Dryderm is more easily absorbed into sweat glands when they are inactive - the reason we recommend bedtime applications. Initially, DryDerm is applied daily over the course of at least one week. The reason for this lies in the fact that there are numerous sweat glands and several applications are required to optimally block the sweat glands and their ducts.
