Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: I have dealt with excessive sweating ever since I was around 10 years old. Being that this problem started right as puberty did made it very hard and extremely embarrassing for me to handle. I spent hundreds of dollars on antiperspirants, natural treatments, OTC options, etc. I am now 19 and finally gave into going to my doctor to seek help. She prescribed Drysol for me and from day one of using it I have been sweat free. I can finally wear colors again and get rid of my worn out black shirts. The only problem I had was on my second night of using the product. I must have used too much and in the morning my skin was a little sore and red, but this went away with a little pain relieving cream and was gone within a few hours.
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: I have always had excessive sweating and body odour because of that and always been looking for medication for this. Tried so many Deodorants include Mitchum and they did not seem to work at all. I put this on for 2 nights continously and I was surprised at the results! It really works! Although it may seem a little expensive but it's worth the price.
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: I had a sympathectomy on my right side in 2001 and ever since I have had excessive sweating on my left side. It got so bad I was literally folding paper towels and tucking them under my arm to soak it up. My shirts were always wet on the left side. After just a couple of nights using Drysol I don't have wet shirts & no need for paper towels. It does burn & itch little when I first apply it & I get a kind of bruised feeling in my under arm but nothing major or that I couldn't deal with. Huge improvement!
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: I just tried this product last night and it's like a miracle, no sweat the next day not even a single spot. I've almost tried all antiperspirants on the shelf but I always get disappointed. But with Drysol I just can't believe it!
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: I find it only works really well the day after you apply it. After that, you go back to sweating as normal. It cuts down the sweat a little but not completely. I've been using it for about a year and keep continuing to use it because it's the only product out there that works even a little bit. It's not great but it's decent.

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: The doctor gave me prescription strength Drysol. It hasn't burned or irritated my skin at all. It works amazing. I sweat between my legs where it looks like I wet my pants. I put it in the folds and it has worked wonders. Hope this helps others with this embarrassing problem.
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: Literally a life-changing product...I've been using it for 3 days and I'm already 100% satisfied. I tried other products out there but continued to sweat (armpits) even in the wintertime, 5 minutes out the door and the sweat would go through my shirt, within about an hour the sweat would go through my entire SUIT. Was thinking about getting surgery or botox injections, but somehow stumbled upon a site where I saw Drysol reviews and became cautiously optimistic from the customer reviews that this was my solution. SO happy to finally get rid of this terrible condition.
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: I have been using this for five years and wow is it great! For those of you who have problems with it burning try spraying Bactine on after you have used the Drysol and then blow dry on low with a hair dryer for a minute or so on each underarm. This will help with the burning at night, Good luck.
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: I have had a problem with underarm sweat for years now. My shirts get drenched. It's so embarrassing. I have tried every over the counter clinical strength, and nothing works. I even asked my doctor about it, and she declined giving me a prescription strength, saying that they don't work! She wanted to send me to a dermatologist right away for laser treatments or Botox. I didn't want to do that. So I kept suffering. Until last week, I did an internet search on sweaty underarms and I found Drysol. It arrived this weekend, I have used it 3 nights now and I am totally dry!! It does burn and itch some at night, but that is totally fine with me! Because I feel like I have a new lease on life! It's a life changer for me. Drysol Rocks!!!

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: I am 19 years old and I have been so embarrassed by my excessive underarm sweat for as long as I can remember. The worst was when I realized that I would sweat more from my underarms than the guys I hung out with. I tried every 'prescription strength' and 'clinical strength' over the counter product that I could find (I even tried mens clinical strength antiperspirant/deodorant), and nothing gave me relief. Finally I talked to my doctor and she mentioned Drysol. I have very sensitive skin, and when I had to use it for the first 2-3 days in a row, I have excessive itching and burning, and a rash, but I toughed it out, and now I no longer have the burning or rash. I have been using the product for 2 weeks now and I couldn't be happier!
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: Have been hiding excessive sweating for ~2 years now ... didn't sweat at all after the first application of Drysol! It did tingle/itch for about 15 minutes, but definitely nothing to stop using it for! On day 3 and haven't had a single drop of perspiration and have not had to use another deodorant (although I think I might get one to dab on in the mornings just to make me feel better. BEST PRODUCT EVER.

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: This product really works. My second day using it and I haven't sweated yet. I would normally have to bath at least twice a day. I been dry all day long. Yes I am so thankful for Drysol save my life. I became so scared to go out and party or have a good time because of my sweating condition. Now I'm sweat free and happy as ever!
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: This is a miracle product. I used to sweat through everything, work shirts, T-shirts, sweaters, you name it. I would have to take breaks throughout my day to dry my pits! I heard Drysol was good and it didn't disappoint. I can now wear whatever I want whenever I want with only one application per week. Furthermore it doesn't really itch or burn unless you massively over apply it. If you sweat a lot just get it dealt with with this.
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: I cannot relate how much this product has changed my life. I'm 31 yrs old and for years have been embarrassed and frustrated with my underarm sweat- like a fountain, nothing less. All my clothes, especially my sweaters were ruined with sweaty odors. Countless hours laundering in vinegar and baking soda! Thought I would have to live with this for the rest of my days- you can't even smell your own perfume, all you smell is your sweat and last weeks sweat trapped in your freshly washed clothes. I found DRYSOL after googling my hyperhidrosis and after two application I'm blown away at how good life is with dry armpits. I'M CURED! Thanks so much DRYSOL, this is wonder product, I'm so grateful to the makers.

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: I know products work differently for different people but sweating profusely was ruining my life. My self confidence was lower than low and I wore black constantly because within half an hour I would have massive wet stains. I never thought it would even be any different. A friend recommended Drysol and honestly after 1 use- I was cured!! Seriously- I used it only once (at a music festival at that!) and since then I DO NOT sweat from the pits anymore! (Very little anyway) it changed my life (sounds dramatic but true!) I would recommend this product over and over again. If you have a sweating problem- please try it!!
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: I used to sweat under the arms excessively. All my tee shirts had yellow stains. My doctor prescribed this once back in 2000. Yes it burned somewhat, but it totally stopped the underarm perspiration. I haven't sweated under my arms much since about the end of 2000. I had the prescription renewed in June 2001, and that bottle is still half full, since I have totally stopped underarm perspiration, and I haven't had to use it in 11 years!
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: I was one of those people who could not even wear a T-shirt because of excessive underarm sweat. I would wear sweaters all through summer, and the sweat even went through them. It was awful. After the first night of Drysol, boom, not a drop of sweat. Now, about 6 months later, I only need to use it once every couple of weeks. This thing is a miracle product, and well worth the itching of one night before you fall asleep.
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: As far as I can remember I suffered from excessive sweating. I always had to sacrifice nice shirts for ones made from fabric the sweating wouldn't leave too much mark. Or on which wetness doesn't show. But well even changing around 5 times a day wasn't helping. Tried everything until someone told me about Drysol. I have to say, I started using it last night and after being up for 4 hours now, I'm still wearing the same shirt! Ok sweating starts to show but after only one use I have this result! Wow! Simply amazing. I wear a uniform at work and I was desperate to find a way to hide my excessive sweating. I think I wont have to worry about this anymore very soon!
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: As a chronic sweater for over 20 years, the experience I had last week would probably best bring home how well this product works: after chaperoning my daughter's school Halloween party, I was actually able to put the tight-fitting cotton shirt I wore back in the closet for another day. No. Sweat, no odor, no nothing. THAT would never have been possible pre-Drysol. After one week of use (only applied three times), I still feel under my arms now and then, expecting the wetness to have returned, but I'm still as dry as the Sahara under there.
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: Ever since I was little I had extremely sweaty hands. Anything I touched became wet and I left little drops of sweat all over the place. It even came to the point where I couldn't cut my food sometimes because the knife would slip out of my sweaty fingers. Touching other people and shaking hands were things that I always dreaded and avoided. I'm 17 now and things began to be even more awkward for me when holding hands with my boyfriend and practically leaving them dripping. Since about 6 weeks ago I have been using Drysol and it is amazing. I would say my hands are 75% less sweaty. The only thing that you have to deal with is your hands getting extremely dry and uncomfortable. But if you have a problem like I did, it's completely worth it.
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: Since I can remember my underarms have been sweaty and smelly. I've used all types of deodorants without success. One night I sat in front of the computer and googled "sweaty underarms" and Drysol product came up. I read about and decided to get it. For the first time in years I was able to put on my uniform without wearing an under shirt. It has been 2 weeks and I still haven't worn a T-shirt under my uniforms. I am able to walk past people without worrying about if they can smell me. Drysol is the best product ever created. Thanks Drysol.
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: Drysol is amazing. I love it. It really burns at night under my arms but it is worth it. Drysol has changed my life, that's why I gave it a nine but the only problem is that it has not worked on my hands.
Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate) for Hyperhidrosis: I love this medication, I have been so ashamed to go out and be around any one scared that someone would notice the stains on my shirt from the sweat. I have been using Drysol for about 2 months now and I can't explain how happy I am to be in my own skin, just being around people made me feel like an outsider. Not only did my armpit stop sweating the medication has made my body stop sweating as well. Good by night sweats. I am ready and able to be using this for the rest of my life. Thank you so much Drysol. Life saver.

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: I have had issues with underarm perspiration since I was 8 years old. I am a very clean person, and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. It took me YEARS to even talk to my doctor about it because I was THAT embarrassed. Having this issue has really impacted my life and left me feeling gross, dirty, humiliated and afraid to part-take in normal daily activities. I have actually put paper towels under my arms and have also taken panty liners and folded them over the underarms of my shirt to minimize the appearance of sweat. Still, nothing was enough. Finally, I got the courage to talk to my doctor, and she prescribed me this. It is my third day, and I am wearing a tee shirt and I am 100% dry.
