Vichy Stress Resist 72-Hour Deodorant is formulated for individuals with excessive perspiration (hyperhidrosis) who need more powerful antiperspirant protection than standard 24 or 48-hour products provide. The formula uses a higher-concentration aluminium salt antiperspirant designed for clinical-strength sweat reduction, applied 1 to 2 times per week rather than daily, providing 72 hours of protection per application. Vichy's signature mineralizing volcanic water from Auvergne, France, is incorporated into the formula for its skin-supportive mineral composition.
Specs
- Form: Antiperspirant deodorant

- Duration: 72-hour protection per application
- Application frequency: 1 to 2 times per week

Benefits
- 72-hour antiperspirant efficacy addresses the specific need of people with hyperhidrosis who cannot achieve adequate sweat control with standard 24-hour products - the confidence of 3 full days of protection from a single application is transformative for the daily anxiety that excessive sweating creates
- The 1 to 2 times per week application frequency, rather than daily, is the correct protocol for high-concentration aluminium antiperspirants that work by gradually plugging the sweat gland duct - daily application adds no benefit and increases skin irritation risk
- Vichy's mineralizing volcanic water provides a unique mineral composition including calcium, magnesium, and 15 mineral ions that support the skin's tolerance to the aluminium salt, helping to reduce the irritation that high-strength antiperspirants can cause on sensitive underarm skin
- Developed by Vichy with dermatological expertise rather than as a conventional personal care product, the formula reflects a medical-grade approach to hyperhidrosis management that respects the skin while delivering clinical-level sweat control
- The 50ml bottle is a practical size for the infrequent application schedule - used 1 to 2 times per week, a 50ml bottle provides approximately 2 to 4 months of treatment, representing good economy per day of protection
How to Use
- Apply only to clean, dry underarm skin - must be bone dry for best effectiveness
- Apply 1 to 2 times per week on the evening before bed - applying at night when sweat glands are less active significantly improves absorption into the duct
- Apply a thin, even layer and allow to dry completely before putting on nightclothes
- Do not apply to freshly shaved skin, irritated skin, or immediately after bathing - wait at least 1 to 2 hours
- Do not apply more frequently than directed - more frequent application does not improve effectiveness and increases irritation risk
- Wash off in the morning as normal
- If skin irritation persists, space applications further apart or consult a dermatologist
