Advantages: Smell-neutral, works quickly

Disadvantages: Limited use on body areas, requires shaving of armpits if used there

Odaban, available as a prescription only from your pharmacy is a product used to manage (not treat) hyperhydrosis, whereby you sweat a lot more than the average person you meet on the street on a sunny day even when its not that hot or sweat a lot after just walking up the flight of stairs without feeling your heart race.
Odaban is completely smell-neutral so after spraying it on, you or anyone else won't smell a thing. Its main active ingredient is aluminium chloride which is a chemical that blocks your sweat pores, thus not allowing your body to excrete sweat from there. There have been some health concerns with it breaching the blood brain barrier, but generally its safe to use. Note that after applying it with a cotton piece, you'll the the cotton stained yellowish, that's part of the product, so don't fret there.

Now as for how good this product actually is - its very effective after a few uses already, but its got its problems too. For instance spraying it under my armpits makes them ridiculously itchy, likely an interaction with armpit hair, so if you want to use it there, try to shave first.
It can also be used elsewhere on the body, but its not that useful if you've got hyperhydrosis of the scalp, face, hands and/or feet. I got scalpal hyperhydrosis for instance as well and I can only apply a bit along my hairline, so its not very useful for me - but then again, there are no products I am aware of that help you manage scalpal hyperhydrosis, so you might as well use Odaban for your other areas.

Summary: One of the better prescription agents for hyperhydrosis
