Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "Drysol worked perfectly. I'm not sure why my hands sweated so much, perhaps they were sweaty cause I have really bad anxiety. Either way Drysol stopped it. Now I don't have to worry about if my hands are sweaty when I need to shake someones hand or avoid even shaking it. Drysol is amazing and has changed my life. "

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "Drysol has been a blessing for me. I suffer from hyperhidrosis under my arms, hands, and feet. Like Literally dripping in sweat. I spend so much money on pedicures and manicures just to be embarrassed sliding around in sandals so I have to put sneakers on, and I can’t even hold my husbands hand it’s so embarrassing! I don’t have to be hot or moving, just laying down I’m drenched in sweat! So my MD prescribed Drysol a couple years back and it has been my lifesaver. I have never seen any medication like it. If your underarms are freshly shaved it stings a little only there, but if you have suffered your entire life like me you suck it up! Lol Good Luck!"

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "This product is amazing. I had very intense armpit sweating (armpit area would be soaked with sweat, just from me sitting still or doing anything) since I was 13 or so and I am 27 now. Dermatologist prescribed this last week, and it is my third day using it today and I have had no sweat at all since the first time I put this stuff on. Seriously, it is bone dry!! For once! I am so happy I don't have to wear only black tops anymore and can now wear pretty and colorful tops without worrying that someone will see the sweat stains. It is a miracle and I now feel so much more confident and free. To anyone who has this issue, please try it, it really does work well. Additionally, I didn't experience the burning or itching others have described."

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "This product works for hyperhidrosis. If you have sweaty hands, this will work. I been using it for about two years now and thank God it still works. But lately, for some reason, its causing irritation between my fingers, but doesn't matter. I will endure it, as long as it stops my hands from sweating."

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I just want to share this because I didn't see it on any other post. I've been using Drysol for over two weeks now on my forehead and scalp (yeah, weird place to sweat, I know) and it has been awesome. Before this I would always get salty sweat into my eyes while playing sports or dancing... that time has gone! Thanks Drysol!"

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "Never in my life have I written a review for anything i've taken, yet I felt the need to write this as I suffered the same symptoms as many people that has already reviewed. I only wore black t shirts or tanks, could never wear color due to sweating like a dog in my armpits for no reason. Large, visible dark wet spots under my arm for no reason just sitting in class. Was pessimistic about Hypercare as many things haven't worked in the past but take my word for it: this stuff will change your life! Take your chance and free yourself of the silent trauma of sweating profusely."

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "If you don't want it to itch DO NOT overlap the Drysol liquid! Make a path to cover your armpit like the old snake game on your cellphone and I haven't had my armpits itch in over a year. I had sweaty armpits all through high school and I was very self conscious that people were seeing it every time I moved my arms so I would usually wear a sweatshirt. I started college and I didn't want this to run my life. I went to the doctors and the doctor told me I had Hyperhidrosis and prescribed Drysol for me. Its been AMAZING. I put it on every 3 days and I haven't sweated in my armpits since! I use normal deodorant without antiperspirant and it works perfectly!"

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I am a 40 year old male who since I can remember, would sweat excessively under his arms. It does not matter if I was stressed, if I was hot, cold, etc. The worst is when it's 20 degrees outside, I'm freezing, yet my shirt is soaked under my arms. That drove me nuts. I used to sit at work, and keep a stash of paper towels at my desk that I would sit under my arms so that the sweat marks would be less visible. Black was my favorite shirt color, especially on days when I had to present to a room full of people. I applied Drysol the first night and the next day, 100 percent dry! I feel like a new person! I can wear tighter shirts and I can even wear grey! There was some discomfort after applying, but it's well worth it, in my opinion!"

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I read so many good reviews on Drysol so I decided to try it! The first night I used it, it had a burning sensation but I could handle it. The next day I was so happy with the results. I had no sweat at all. The second time I used it, it itched like crazy and I was up all night trying to tolerate it, but still no sweat. The third time I used it my armpits burnt and there was red bumps! I immediately washed it off but the pain didn't go away. Maybe it was just my skin having a reaction to it but I do not think this is for me!"

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I have been using Drysol for almost three weeks for my sweaty scalp, and it has worked wonders. The product is totally amazing!!! I have only one small problem, after using Drysol my scalp has become blotchy. Can anyone recommend a lotion or cream for the discoloration of my scalp? Also I need to know that the moisturizer won't stop the Drysol from working. Please reply ASAP!!!"

Certain Dri (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I’ve suffered from hyperhidrosis for the past 26 years. I’ve tried everything from organic deodorant to clinical protection deodorant, and absolutely NOTHING has helped, until I came across Certain Dri. Normally, I have to take 3-4 showers a day due to excessive sweating, but the very first day I used this product I went the entire day without sweating. I was completely amazed that something actually worked. I’ve only been using the product for a couple of weeks, and so far I’ve had no trouble with sweating; however, the next day when I used it, my armpits became very itchy. If you’re thinking about using this product, I recommend using it sparingly."

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I've suffered from hyperhidrosis since around 8th grade. I'm 32 now. I've tried so many different things to stop the sweating but nothing has worked. It really has been a depressing issue. The big clothes, layering, napkins, lying, hiding, etc. (sigh)...I went to the doc last week & got Hypercare. I LOVE this & have only used it about 3 times. Wish someone would have gave me this YEARS AGO! I would recommend this to anyone. Its totally changed my self confidence."

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I never had a problem with excessive underarm sweating until my second year of college. Then, overnight, my sweat glands went into overdrive. My dermatologist prescribed me Drysol and while it worked a little at first, I found it worked MUCH better once I started applying it with a Swisper cotton pad (as opposed to the toiled paper I had been using). Once I used the cotton pad, my underarms became red and irritated (It kept me awake at night) but the sweating stopped. Now my underarms are completely fine. I apply a little each night to be on the safe side, but I simply don't sweat. I can wear whatever I want without thinking about sweating through the material. For me, Drysol has been a Godsend."

Certain Dri (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I’ve been using Certain Dry for over ten years. I use it a few times a week but not everyday. When I first started using it I used daily which caused a rash so I cut down to every other day and I can say I do not sweat under my arms anymore. It’s been ten years free of smelly sweaty underarms. I tell everyone about this product. It does itch a few minutes after application but it’s because it’s literally closing your pores. If you can deal with a little itch under your arms for a few minutes it’s definitely worth the discomfort. This product changed my life. It changed my confidence. I love Certain Dri."

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I used to sweat so bad. Dripping sweat from my underarm to my back. Leaving embarrassing sweat stains . I could be freezing cold and sweat crazy. After the first use of Drysol I saw results the next day , no longer had sweat stains. I’ve only used it 3 times now and it’s been amazing. I used it 2 nights straight . Now doing every other night. But I do have a bad rash under my arm which I was told was expected . It does burn and itch a little after application but it goes away after an hour. APPLY AT NIGHT TIME BEFORE BED. When the sweat glands are working less. But I am in love with this product and never been so confident."

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I'm a 46 year old female that has struggled with severe sweaty armpits, feet and hands since I was 13. I've researched and tried so many products that failed me. But this truly works. It takes about 2 days for it to actually stop the sweating process but once it's in your pores you can use every other day. Your armpits are odourless. The unfortunate part is...do not use after shaving it will burn itch and cause a horrible outbreak but otherwise this product is a true BLESSING to all who sweat beyond control like I did..."

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I had the same problem. Always had to wear black or a zipper up/sweater to cover it. My doctor prescribed this to me and it's like a gift from heaven! It burned so bad though. I couldn't really take it, so for all you girls out there that try it and have the same results ask your doctor to prescribe you triamcinolone lotion. You put it on after and there's no burning or swelling or anything! And it leaves your underarms super soft for shaving rather than irritated from the treatment. I definitely recommend this. "

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "This stuff is absolutey amazing. I never could wear anything but black because I sweat so much in my armpits. I started using this a couple years ago. When I first started it I had to use it once every couple weeks. Then only once every 6 months and now it's been over a year and I don't have to use it and I'm not sweating. It felt like it saved my life in a way. I'm so happy I found it."

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I'm not one to write a review, but I feel compelled to tell others that suffer with severe sweating, as I did for many years, that when my doctor recommended Drysol, I was hesitant to try it. I have been using it for 2 years or more, and I have been so happy with the results. As others have said, I had irritation at first, but just keep using it and it will give you results you never thought possible. My condition is so much better than I thought it could be. My body now tells me it's time to put it on; I can go several weeks between doses. It has made my life so much better!"

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "As a teenager, sweating is a huge problem for me wherever and whenever. I have tried the anti-perisperant deodorant in stores but none have worked for me until my doctor prescribed me this. After applying it stings and itches a bit but it is so bearable and worth it. No sweat at all the next day and at school I didn't have to hide the wetness under a sweatshirt. Would totally reccomend"

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I honestly didn't realize I had a medical condition. I just thought my deodorants weren't working for me. I recently had a rash under my arm and went to the doctor and he said I had hyperhidrosis. For the past few years I'm am only to wear tank tops or black/white shirts to prevent the seeing of my underarm sweat, so terribly embarrassing. I would have such envy of anybody who could wear a clingy colored shirt! Now that I have been prescribed Hypercare it has only been one day and I wore a gray clingy shirt today with no armpit sweat stain! I feel so much more comfortable now, and I get too expand my wardrobe with clingy colorful shirts now! Thank you doctor!"

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "At first it was like a temporary quick fix. My hands would be dry, but when I got nervous I would feel the tingling sensation in my hands like they always do before they sweat, and they sweat. I put it on every night but it doesn't seem to work, going to the doctors today to take pills instead."

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I have excessive underarm sweating and I thought I would give Drysol a go which is an over the counter medicine here in Canada. I was hoping that it would work and I could wear clothes instead of putting on jackets in the summer. On my first application I dried my armpits and slowly applied it around my armpit and only noticed a little tingling sensation at first. During the night it itched a little bit but nothing too bad, the next day I noticed I was still sweating so I thought it would work the next day. On the 3rd night I applied it my armpit started to burn really badly, it burned to the point where I couldn't sleep all night and I was still sweating like before. "

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis "I have had a chronic problem with hyperhydrosis. I am active duty in the navy and I can say this has been challenging at work. I have spent hundreds of dollars on Otc brands deodorant and antiperspirant, laundry detergent, dry cleaning all my uniforms after wearing them once and worse of all having that feeling that people are always looking at my sweat or me just being afraid to raise my arms. I have literally been using this for one week and it stops wetness in its tracks. Shoot, even the water in the shower avoids it like a force field. For me it burns like hell but it's like a good workout. I see it as - at least I know it's working. Worth every burn."
