Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): HyperCare is truly amazing. Worked after the very first application for my 12 yr old daughter. We tried every deodorant including Certain Dry & all the clinical strength products which did not work at all - she would still come home from school soaking wet in her armpit area. I really did not want to have her injected with botox but was seriously going to check into it because of the damage the sweating was doing to her self esteem. HyperCare did cause some irritation but my daughter says it is absolutely worth it - she is sooo happy and excited to be able to wear any color shirt now. I had no idea that it was that big of a problem for her because she didn't tell me because she was embarrassed about it. Absolutely recommend this product !

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): I just want to say that Drysol really works for me, its been 2 weeks now and I've used it like 3-4 times and haven't seen a drop from my armpits yet. Let me tell you how good Drysol is - I put it on Thursday, the day I got it, and my armpits were dry that whole weekend. All I did is took a shower for everyday I went out, Friday, Saturday and on Sunday I was at the game. I didn't have time to put it on more than once that whole weekend and my armpits were dried. Nothing works like Drysol. I'm writing this because I hope this post helps someone else. I did a lot of research but I'm done. This is my last stop. I just wanted to leave feedback and big thanks to people who made it.

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): 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.

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): 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!

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): This product is AMAZING !! I am a 13 year old and I have been sweating a lot since 6th grade. I told my mom a week ago that I cant take sweating anymore. So embarrassing in school. No one really notices me sweating because I would always wear a jacket even in the summer time! So I called my doctor and she told me she would prescribe Hypercare. Well I used it the first night and wow the nest morning I didn't sweat a bit. I can wear any color now but every night I put it on it burns or itches but mostly itches. It's worth it trust me. So thank you so much Hypercare and yes I do recommend it to anybody who sweats a lot.

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): This product truly is amazing! I am 21 years old and since I was in the 6th grade I have had a problem with my sweating. I always avoided really cute tops and dresses that I knew I would sweat in and ruin. Basically all my tops are black and it was still visible that I was sweating. I never wore tight shirt, always real loose fitting and I was just miserable. Finally I got over my embarrassment and ask my gynecologist what I can do about this sweating problem and she prescribed Hypercare. It stung so badly and I had so much irritation that I wanted to cry but I am so glad I kept using it because that burning was so worth it! I can wear ANYTHING I want, no matter the fit or color. It is amazing and I feel so beautiful and happy! I recommend this product!

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): I suffered from excessive sweating since I was about 12 years old. I'll never forget it. It was WINTER and I took off my coat and saw sweat under my arms through my sweater. This continued for YEARS. It was embarrassing. Being nervous definitely increased this issue. When I reached about 20 years old, I was using paper towels under my shirts, attached to my bras. Summer time was dreaded. I was miserable. I owned tons of black shirts. In the summer I'd walk one block and my armpits would be drenched. Now, to be perfectly honest, I am a beautiful woman. Mixed race, slim, nice hair, light eyes... But no matter what, the sweating made me want to hide. Indoors. All the time. Just sitting still made me sweat. It was horrible.

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): I have suffered from severe underarm perspiration for many years. I would only wear tops that were black or white. Even through many layers of clothing, my shirt stains under my arms were terrible. I would worry that people could see my sweat, and that would make me sweat even MORE. This product is AMAZING! I never thought it would be this easy to get rid of the problem! Just follow the instructions on the bottle, and your life will be SO MUCH BETTER! Sometimes it feels like it is warm in my underarm area and I freak out that I am sweating, but when I look there is nothing there! This is an incredible product... VERY highly recommended!

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): I use to get called "hydro" because my arms leaked water. I tried hypercare without shaving my under arms or reading the directions and felt like it didn't help. After reading the directions and shaving my arms so that the product could actually reach my skin I've had amazing results. Life feels different, I can now wear any color tee-shirt. I can live without the fear that someone will touch my wet underarms, and I can wear expensive leather coats without ruining them. This is the best product made and I wish I would have known about it 20 years earlier.

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): My family has a history of perspiration problems, and I have finally found the solution! I've tried antiperspirants, Certain Dri, and various OTC products, but Hypercare was the one that really worked. This sounds like one of those commercials that you shouldn't really believe, but this is real stuff. I'm 16, so it's common for people my age to be wearing t-shirts to school that fit and the occasional dress shirt for formal gatherings. I couldn't wear shirts that fit me because they would touch my underarm, and then the sweat would stain my shirts. I wore baggy shirts for the longest time. It could be 12 degrees outside, and I'd still sweat. Now, in this New England humidity, I can wear whatever I want without humidity being a problem.

Xerac AC (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): Amazing! Used to sweat so badly under arms! It was so embarrassing to have sweat stains when I was barely doing anything. One night of using this and I instantly did not sweat the next day! And you only have to use it once or twice a week after you stop sweating. Tried everything and this truly works! Stings pretty bad the first time but thought it was well worth it. Did not feel a thing after the first time though!

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): I'm 14 years old and have been suffering from underarm sweetness since I was 9. I hated going shopping and buying shirts because I couldn't wear any light colors only black. As I got older it got worse and I didn't really like talking to other people and in class I wouldn't raise my hand. My mom decided to take me to my doctor and he told me about Hypercare. The first night I tried it, it itched and burned but the next day I didn't SWEAT! I was happy and thank my doctor. Good thing they invented this product and know that I'm going to high school and I can socialize with a lot of people without being afraid. Yay!

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): This product is amazing. Ever since I can remember I have been sweating profusely under my arms. I only wear black tops to try to hide the wetness so I never enjoy wearing different colors. I use to go shopping and look at all the different color clothing and felt so bad I could not wear them I had to move on to something that will hide the wetness. At the age of 47 I went to my family doctor and I was sweating so bad I just came out and ask if there is something that could help me. I was given Hypercare and tried it that night and it burned and stung but the next day I did not sweat under my arms. I kept touching under my arms because I could not believe I was dry. I have been using it for several weeks now and I still burn and stings.

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): Amazing product- for me, from the age of about 13, it had gotten to the point where I would sweat so much all the time that I wore baggy sweatshirts constantly. Even sometimes in the summer, to hide all the sweating. After using Hypercare I rarely sweat unless I'm exercising or it's legitimately hot- which is GREAT.

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): I was sweating all the time and had to shower/change up to 6 times a day. Used the DrySol 3 nights in a row, under arms, feet, even top of legs and under belly. When dry, I put plastic over all areas, covered feet with socks, wore nightie with sleeves, undies held-in plastic at top of legs. The idea is to use at bedtime in this manner, so the product doesn't rub-off AND because this is when the sweat glands are most dormant. Now I only need it twice a week. I use regular deodorant in the morning. Keep in mind: 1) You only need a very small amount to prevent burning your skin 2)Otherwise it must be washed off. 3) Dab under arms ONLY where hair grows. Don't use after shaving! I can now wear tops TWICE and can wear regular shoes. DrySol, you're the best!

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): I have been using this medication for 2 years now and it has worked great. I had used it in the past when I was younger but it was not effective as I was not using it correctly. I then saw another dermatologist who gave me some tips to using it correctly and ever since then it has worked great. I do get the occasional itching and burning feeling but I too think the benefit of using it out weighs the itching.

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): For some reason the stinging only happens to me when I use it at night. To avoid the stinging I now use it in the morning after I shower and towel off. The day I use it, I don't wear clothes that I worry about staining. Drysol has worked fantastic for years under my arms. I now only have to use it about once a week. Unfortunately, no matter how I use it on my feet it hasn't helped them.

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): The first night there was no problem. Since then every time I have attempted to use it, it really hurt. I am thinking at this point I'd rather sweat.

Drysol (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): I have really enjoyed the control over my excessive underarm sweating that Drysol has given me. I use it about twice a week. Occasionally it stings so bad I have to wash it off before the night is finished. The wetness control far outweighs the stinging sensation. No more embarrassing nervous moments.

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): I've had hyperhidrosis for 15 years. I would embarrassingly sweat through multiple shirts daily. Business meetings were awful. I would actually adhere my wife's menstrual pads to my undershirts to try and get me through the day, but would eventually sweat through those too. In a recent visit to my dermatologist, he prescribed Drysol/Hypercare. Skeptically, I applied it that night. It burned and itched, keeping me up all night. The next day, I was COMPLETELY dry. I applied it again the next night, still itched but not as bad - slight rash. I took the next 3 nights off to let my armpits heal and still no sweat. I'm on my 2nd week, 3rd application and NO SWEAT. Far less irritation now, dry, and couldn't be happier - truly life changing.

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): I suffered from EXTREME hyperhidrosis for eleven years since the age of thirteen. I used to wear several layers of clothing including paper towels under my arms to try to disguise the problem, but to no avail. I would sweat through several layers of clothing. Greatly to my surprise, after just two weeks of using Hypercare MY SWEATING CEASED. Because the active ingredient in it is an alcohol solution you can apply as many layers as you need without a nasty buildup of gunk that come with regular solid and gel antiperspirants. I really thought I was going to need botox or surgery, but ended up trying this product at the urging of my dermatologist. SO HAPPY.

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): I have very sweaty palms that I unfortunately inherited from my mother and father. I just started using Hypercare one week ago and applied it nightly. I have seen a wonderful change in such a short period of time. My sweaty hands affected me in social and religious settings which included shaking hands. It used to be so embarrassing to watch the reaction on the other person's face when they shook my wet palms. Hypercare has made me feel so much happier, like a weight lifted off my shoulders. I can't say enough about it.

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): I have only recently been suffering with underarm hyperhydrosis. It started about 4 months ago. I'm 49. It is a terribly frustrating condition that impacts your standard of living. I have just started using Hypercare. With the first application of Hypercare, my condition improved dramatically. With the second application, I am dry all day long. It does cause some irritation of the skin under the arm, but now I'm on my 4th day of using it and that irritation has subsided.

Hypercare (aluminum chloride hexahydrate): I have had hyperhidrosis of my hands, armpits, and feet my entire life. It made many things in my life extremely uncomfortable or impossible to do. (Even simple things... shaking hands, preparing food, wearing grey or any non-dark T-shirts, wearing sandals, the list goes on). I've been using Hypercare for 3 years now and it has literally changed my life. It's affordable and effective. I recommend to anyone suffering from hyperhidrosis.
