"How often do you find a product that really does what it;s supposed to? Never. But this stuff really works 100%. I wouldn't say I had severe sweating problems, but my underarms were wet constantly. I was constantly uncomfortable because of it, always felt this nasty wetness and could never wear any shirt more than once. Wearing slim fitting tops was out of the question and I can't tell you how many silk blouses I've ruined after only 1 wear. This product worked instantly, I applied it overnight and the next day I didn't sweat AT ALL, not even a tiny bit. I now apply it twice a week and I forgot what sweating is. I can wear anything and feel comfortable all day long. And it's cheap too! $10 without insurance, can't beat that."

"This product changed my life. It works. No doubt. I had suffered from excessive sweating on my armpits since I was 11. I thought I was cursed, and would have to deal with this my entire life. It really had a huge impact on my life because I was always limited on the shirts I had to wear. I could only wear lose black or white shirts. If not I had to wear a black cardigan over everything I wore! Yes that's how bad it was, until I got prescribed Hypercare, when I commented it on a doctors appointment. This had really changed my life. This product worked the very next day! I was truly amazed. THANK YOU HYPERCARE! Ps. Don't use this product when you have recently shaved, or else it will burn and you won't be able to sleep all night"

"I agree with most of the other users here that this is an amazing product. I have had hyperhidrosis for a couple of years and sort of learned to live with it rather than treat it as a medical condition and get treatment. Aside from some itching and irritation at night, I can't think of anything bad about this medicine. For the first time in years, I don't have to hide my underarms or wipe my hands on my jeans before shaking hands with someone. And I just went to the store to buy some light-colored shirts. Hypercare/Drysol is really life-changing for me. Thanks to you all for sharing your experiences, and if anyone reading this discussion suffers from hyperhidrosis, I hope you will give this drug a try."

"This literally changed my life. I can now wear colorful shirts without worrying about sweat stains. It worked after the first application. My doctor said I'd experience "mild itching" and I wish she would've been more truthful and said "practically unbearable itching" but the longer I use this medicine, the less I itch. I don't itch at all anymore when I put it on. If I use it daily, I get a dry, painful rash in my underarms so I use it every other or every 2 days."

"HELLO FELLOW SWEATERS! I was the worst sweater ever. Everyday, regardless of what I was wearing, I had huge armpit stains and I mean huge. Like a good 5 inches in diameter. And it didn't matter what material I was wearing or what color, it was noticeable! I would also sweat through huge hooded sweatshirts. I have no idea how that is even possible. When I came on this website I read everyone's reveiws and thought..."there's no way anyone on here sweats as much as I do. Its not gonna work for me" but, I was wrong! The first couple nights I applied it, it stung a lot and itched too, but I toughed it out because at that point I didn't care. And the next day.. TA DAA! No sweat. Not even a drop..it was amazing! Goodluck."

"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!"

"This stuff is a life changer!! I was prescribed this about 2 years ago and have used it ever since. I would pour sweat under my arms and could be freezing cold..I was determined to find something that helped. I tried all the expensive deodorants at the store and none of them worked..I finally told my Dr and he prescribed me this. Yes it burns and hurts at first but eventually you won't need to apply it but maybe a couple of times a month and never apply it the same day you shave..it doesn't hurt, burn or irritate me at all anymore and still no sweating..don't know what I would do if I could no longer get this"

"I am a sixteen year old girl and have had a problem sweating since middle school. My wardrobe consisted of hooded sweatshirts and black t-shirts. I was so embarrassed. Every day at school I would sweat through all my clothes and finally my boyfriend even commented on it. I finally went to the doctor and she gave me Hypercare. I used it for the first time last night. It itched a little, but otherwise didn't bother me. Today, no sweat! It's like a miracle. I talked to lots of people and raised my hand in class. It was amazing! I kept absentmindedly touching the armpits of my shirt to check for sweat but there wasn't any at all. This has literally changed my life."

"This product is fantastic. The only downside is the itchiness that many (including myself) have experienced. In my experience, using too much at one time or over a few consecutive days made the itchiness worse. Light use as instructed eliminates most of the itchiness and the product is still effective."

"I was recommended this product for axillary hyperhidrosis. The first night, it tingled a little but it was tolerable. Ever since then, i have been using it every few weeks because i fear of loosing sleep due to the irritation which leads up to redness and soreness. And then the irritation feels like a tingling itch which progresses to a burning sensation, enspecially when you try to scratch a little. I would still try it if i was you, its different for everyone. The things i learned is to wait maybe 30 mins after washing underarms at night to apply it and waiting 2 days after shaving prolbably isnt enough to restrict burning due to the high level of alcohol in the product. The less, the better trust me..dont keep piling it on top."

"This has done amazing things for me! I've been using it for four days now and it's already helping when it says that full effects wouldn't take place until a week. I'm just giving you a heads up that it burns REALLY BAD. I'm burning right now, actually. I think it's completely worth it though. I recommend this."

"I would always be in class with wet armpits. I would be doing nothing but sitting and my shirt and armpits would be soaked. I never understood why. When I first got Hypercare, it worked great! I didn't need to reapply because it was working. Now my sweat is starting to come back and after re applying, it no longer works. I do not know why but I really wish it would work again."

"I started using it last night and I have not started sweating yet today! Normally I will have sweat rings under my arms within an hour of sitting at my desk in my air conditioned office but not today! It did burn a little last night but it seems like it only burns when the medicine is activated with moisture. I used the blow dryer on a cool setting to dry my armpits after washing last night to make sure they were completely dry and it didn't burn at all while applying. I have been living with this condition since 6th grade and I am 24 now. I am going to apply it to my sweaty feet tonight and hopefully it will work just as well!"

"I just started using this medicine, and I'm so happy. I'm a 23 year old Black lady and I can't tell you how much this has changed my life. In social and religious settings. It brings me to tears to think of all the years I didn't use this. I unlike most of you still wore colored shirts. But I would have to deal with comments and stares. I recommend this medicine for anyone. Like everyone else I had the burning and itching, but when you've been living with this horrible self esteem buster who cares. I'm so happy for all my fellow "sweaters" who found this product."

"This is the most amazing thing ever. It burns like hell but if you follow the directions it's a lot more tolerable! I completely stopped sweating within 2 times days of using Hypercare. Before my doctor told me about this I tried everything I could get off the shelves and it would work for a day (if at all) and then I would sweat again. But this will stop my sweating for a couple months at a time now that I've been using it for a while. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who feels like they sweat excessively."

"After suffering over 50 years with excessively wet armpits I asked my doctor what could be done. Hypercare was prescribed and it is such a relief. What is amazing is that it takes very little to be effective, while using too much may increase itching."

"I am 29 years old and today is the first day in 16 years that I was able to wear a light colored shirt ALL DAY while 90 degrees outside and not have one wet spot under my arms. I honestly feel like a whole new woman. My closet has consisted of nothing but black shirts for over 10 years. I have always loved color and have never been able to wear any color. Even in the winter I would sweat all day even if it was freezing outside. I have now applied Hypercare for 3 nights and i have NO wetness..... its amazing."

"I developed sweaty armpits in high school and just dealt with it for many years by layering tshirts and wearing patterns, etc. Finally about a year ago I talked to my derm about it and he prescribed Hypercare. I was skeptical but took daily applications to start and then sure enough my armpit sweating reduced easily by 90%. I was shocked it worked so well! I only need to re-apply once a week or so. Been working like that for over a year. I also have sweaty palms but Hypercare didn't help on my palms. But I am so grateful for having the armpit issue solved. Just be sure your armpits are fully dry when you apply to avoid irritation."

"This product, in my humble opinion, ranks up there with the wheel as one of the greatest breakthroughs in the history of mankind. After trying every conceivable "extra-strength" deodorant I figured I was completely hopeless, as I had the uncanny ability to sweat through any number of layers of clothes, even hoodies. It burned like crazy when I applied it and didn't expect much payoff for my pain but, lo and behold, it works. I went on vacation to the tropics, swam in the ocean every day and played rigorous sports for two solid weeks without reapplying it once. Truly unbelievable and truly miraculous."

"Great product. I suffered since high school (now 32) with having to change shirts multiple times per day. It made me depressed to be so uncomfortable all day. Once I began using the product, within days there was a noticeable difference. A life changer."

"Hyperhidrosis basically has controlled my life for as long as I can remember, and I am a senior in high school right now. My first memory of excessive sweating goes back to eighth grade right after I took a test, and I saw on my bright blue shirt a small but obvious ring of sweat. My sweating requires a trigger, generally anxiety, stress, or if I am put on the spot. Therefore, when I am at home with my family I am completely dry and there is nothing wrong. Anyways, I've been wearing baggy stuff and black shirts for the last three years, and that works to cover up the sweat, but not the smell. I finally told my mom, she called my doctor and prescribed me to hypercare, I wore a white shirt to my practice and zero sweat. Life saver."

"Can only have this on for literally minutes before the itching/burning makes me want to cry. I can't even concentrate on a TV show to take my mind off it. Anyone know of an alternative that doesn't cause these effects? The catch 22 is that the one time I kept it on half the night I didn't sweat again for months. Should probably also mention that my sweating problem is my face and neck, particularly my forehead."

"I used Hypercare in the past, but stopped using it. I decided to use it again yesterday because I have been sweating a ton. Well, last night it was itchy and burning my armpits. I didn't sweat today though! I just put it on about 15 minutes ago and the burning and itching is much worse. It hurts so badly. I am only using this until I can get to the dermatologist to get something that won't hurt so much. "
