How should syNeo free be dosed?

In the morning after washing or showering per underarm 2 pump sprays or or 3 swipes of the roll-on on the dry skin and allow the application to air-dry briefly so that the alcohol contained in the product can evaporate. A more frequent application (daily) is only necessary at high summer temperatures, for extreme physical work, or intensive sport.

The first time I used syNeo free redness occurred. What caused this?

A small percentage of users have reported that after the first use a skin reaction occurred (a feeling of heat, burning or redness). In most cases after asking a few questions it turned out that the affected users had applied far too much product on the skin.
Many users are accustomed to use deodorants as shown in the advertising: The underarm region is sprayed over a large area and for several seconds. In most cases this is also necessary, as many products often only contain fragrances and/or only minimal amounts of active ingredients (aluminium salts. In addition, aerosol sprays often consist 2/3 of propellant (which is volatilized after use) and only 1/3 of the actual deodorant/antiperspirant formulation, which remains on the skin. By their own admission the manufacturers’ objective is to ensure that the bottle is emptied as soon as possible and the product must be repurchased.
However, the area of the skin to be treated, which secretes the apocrine sweat underarms (which then causes the unpleasant, disturbing odour) is often only 5 cm in diameter. Basically a product need only be applied in this relatively small region. Consequently, it suffices to apply syNeo free with a maximum of 2 pump sprays or 3 swipes of the roll-on applicator. Thus syNeo free can be applied quite economically.
In addition the skin needs a certain adaptation phase when it comes into contact with new substances. For many users, the skin has become used to products with aluminium salts over many years. Over time the skin becomes conditioned to these aluminium salts, although often when a deodorant/antiperspirant that contains aluminium salts is first used undesired skin reactions (burning, redness) were experienced, which subsided after a short time and then never reoccurred.
The situation with syNeo free is now similar. Thus in the initial phase a warm feeling, burning or redness can occur, which disappears after a few days and then no longer reoccurs.
Naturally syNeo free has been tested for its dermatological compatibility in an external laboratory under the supervision of dermatologists.

syNeo free is not working for me as desired. What could be the causes?

Presumably, you were previously using a deodorant/antiperspirant with aluminium salts. The protein plug, formed by aluminium salts, is still in the sweat ducts. The body must first decompose this plug. In the individual case this can take a few days. The sweat ducts will only be free again after a few days. Thus you should wait for a few days before using syNeo free for the first time.
Also other cosmetic products that are used on the same location can impair the effect. For example, curd soaps leave a layer of oil on the skin that prevents the active ingredient from penetrating into the sweat ducts. But other deodorants used previously (e.g. rehydrating deodorants) may contain ingredients that can cause the same effect. After a few days, when the problematic substances have decomposed or have been washed off, as a rule, the desired effect is present.
However, just like the entire body, the skin is subject to certain fluctuations due to various factors. Through changes in the temperature or humidity, consumption of coffee, black tea, nicotine, alcohol or pungent spices, stress factors or also hormonal fluctuations (in puberty, for women considerably stronger than for men) the effect of syNeo free can fluctuate.

The information on www.codecheck.info concerning Triethanloamine (TEA) concerns me. Why is TEA in syNeo free ?

Unfortunately for laypersons the entry on www.codecheck.info is more confusing than illuminating. On its own TEA is not in any way carcinogenic.
Through improper use of TEA in combination with certain substances nitrosamines can occur through chemical reaction. These nitrosamines have a carcinogenic effect. Consequently, the Cosmetic Regulation stipulates that only 99% pure TEA is allowed to be used (and, for example, a technical quality with less than purity is not allowed), and that a maximum of 2.5% is allowed to be contained in the product. Moreover, TEA must not be used together with substances that have a nitrosing effect because nitrosamines could occur through this combination. Summary: Nitrosamines are carcinogenic – triethanolamine is not.
syNeo free does not contain any nitrosing substances. We use TEA for the same purpose that it is primarily used for in cosmetics: to adjust the pH value. For example, TEA is contained in many shaving creams.

Is it necessary to apply syNeo free every day?

No, you only need to apply syNeo free every other day. In the case of heavy perspiration, extreme physical activity/sport or on extremely hot summer days, syNeo free can also be applied daily.

After I apply syNeo free, can I wash myself or shower normally the next day?

Yes, the effect persists even after washing the underarms or feet when showering or bathing daily.

Can I use a different deodorant in addition to syNeo free?

No, you should not use any other deodorant at the same place on the body. This can impair the effect of syNeo free. Due to the different ingredients of the two products, undesired interactions or side effects, such as burning, redness or skin irritations can occur.
If you are interested in the fragrance of the deodorant, then we recommend using an eau-de-toilette or perfume at a different region of the body (neck, wrist, chest). Since syNeo free does not contain any perfumes, it is totally neutral in this regard.

I regularly shave underarm hair. What do I need to be aware of?

When shaving, the skin becomes slightly irritated, as a rule due to the alkaline shaving cream. Moreover, when using off-the-shelf wet razors with 2 to 5 blades, each hair is pulled slightly out of its follicle, in order to shave it off deeper. In this process the hair follicle is opened slightly and irritated.
The surrounding skin – if considered precisely – is also slightly scraped off by the other blades that run over it. So that these small wounds to not become infected, often an aftershave is used that contains alcohol, which causes the well-known burning in the wounds.
Nothing else would happen with subsequent use of syNeo free, since it contains up to 1/3 alcohol. However the burning would be somewhat more intense due to the alcohol contained. Consequently, we recommend that you not use syNeo free directly after shaving.
You can alternate; shave one day, apply syNeo free the next day. This virtually excludes the possibility of skin irritation.

Can shaving underarm hair support the effect of syNeo free?

Yes, underarm hair enables the bacteria on the skin, which due to the decomposition of sweat are responsible for the occurrence of body odour, to also settle on the hair and thus settle on a surface that is many times larger. Moreover, in the case of thick hair growth sweat evaporates poorly, which additionally favours bacterial growth. Also, washing off the odour-forming bacteria is made more difficult due to underarm hair. Naturally, removing underarm hair does not influence the production of sweat.
With shaved/epilated underarms, syNeo free can be applied directly on the skin (comply with the wait time cited above). Thus the sweat ducts can be reached more effectively. The application is easier to control, and in addition, use is more economical.
