Reviews

We offer you to read reviews of people who used Formidron:

Marina. Has bought or purchased this agent in a drugstore (so praised and have told or said that it is better than a drive and not such harmful) - 20-30 mines and smyla the water is warm and the next day the sweat was and the main smell, too, and on the 2nd day again I tried but there is no result. although 2 days in a row used. even wiped the shoes too, the result is 0. that water that this means of a difference is not present and any more did not begin to use once in structure there is a formaldehyde and does not help or assist. so it's amazing how he helped you?
Inna. I keep at home Formidron solely for effective antifungal processing of shoes: I wear gloves, a respirator and construction glasses (very corrosive fumes give out), I wipe all the shoes from the inside with wet cotton soaked in a solution from inside, there I leave the disks and tightly pack the shoes in a bag for two days, after which I ventilate. I read that the drug is not excreted from the body and is generally considered analogue of Formalin. So neither children, nor pregnant, nor just adults, I would not advise him to apply to the skin - a safe counterpart against sweat a great many.
Kate. Has bought or purchased this agent from a sweating of axillas and it has absolutely not approached or suited me. After the application, there was redness, itching, itching all the time there, shorter it is better let then smell than such a torture to pass me. Besides, now I read that this is a very harmful remedy and thank God that it did not suit me and I did not use it much, or even die that way.
