"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."

"I seriously recommend this product to anyone who is looking to treat their excessive sweating condition. I used to have a serious problem with my hands, they would sweat to a point where they would almost dripped. Hypercare has helped me so much and is pretty cheap. It took about 2 weeks for me to start seeing the effects, trust me follow through applying this on every night for at least 3 weeks before stopping. I almost stopped within the first because I thought it wasn't going to work on me. I didn't give up hope though and continued. Soon enough I began to see miraculous changes my hands would sweat less and less everyday to the point where they are now always dry. If your skins starts to peel its normal just don't peel it off. I recommend."

"So far, not so good. I've been using it for about a week and a half and I still sweat. My dermatologist said I CAN use my regular deodorant/antiperspirant if I'm paranoid this might not work. Well, I didn't the first time I used Hypercare because I wanted to see if it would work. I smelled an odor so the next day I used my deodorant. Also, I DO NOT like the applicator. I have been using a sponge to apply mine. "

"I never had a major sweat problem, but when it gets hot outside, I immediately get a moisture under my arms and my bacteria combined with my mild perspiration, makes the most pungent odor. This product has stopped that from happening. I couldn't go through another summer of dealing with this. It beats doing Botox injections or surgically having my sweat glands removed. Easy fix!"

"I had hyperhidrosis since like forever and it was really bad. I remember when I was in elementary school when my friends played hand games and I couldn't because I know that my palms would sweat and they'll be disgusted by it and when I was going through puberty my under arms started to sweat and it was really embrassing I wore layers of clothes to hide the sweat but that'll just make it worse and also shaking hands was a problem BUT Hypercare helps a lot. My life became so much more happier and I'm glad that my doctor prescribed me Hypercare and I recommend it to anyone who suffers from hyperhidrosis."

"I had no problem with hyperhidrosis until I passed the age of 40. Then it suddenly became a huge problem. Peri-menopause perhaps. I began sweating profusely and became very self-conscious about my body odor. I tried many different anti-perspirants/deodorants, including "clinical strength." They would work for a short time, then stop working. I mentioned this to my nurse practitioner and she suggested I try this. It really works! I will admit the itching/tingling/stinging is annoying, but worth dealing with to have dry pits! I used Hypercare for a few years, but recently was prescribed Drysol. They seem to work equally well and have the same side effects for me."

"It only burns when putting on after shaving or in excessive amounts. I have been using it for years and only need to apply it about once a month to keep armpits from having an odor. I do not ever sweat anymore. So glad I bought this product"

"My armpit sweat was absolutely disrespectful. I would sweat for absolutely no reason laying in bed, talking to friends, walking, living, breathing. It was a nightmare. I finally decided that enough is enough there must be something out there besides antiperspirant. My doctor prescribed Hypercare and it has compelled me to share my experience. The first application did tingle but I was pretty hammered so I didn't mind. Next day was absolutely amazing. I purposely wore a bright pink shirt (all real sweaters nightmare constantly wiping, fanning your shirt trying to dry the wet stains) and I didn't sweat one bit. Great product definitely changed my life."

"I've had hyperhidrosis for as long as I can remember, especially on my hands and feet. My dermatologist prescribed it to me last week. I've been using Hypercare for a few days now- it's definitely dried my skin out, and I haven't been sweating as much. Yet I still have the occasional outbreaks. However, I talked to my doctor, who said that it takes usually around 2 weeks for the product to really affect you. I'm hanging in there, and so far satisfied."

"I'm in 9th grade, I've had hyperhidrosis since I was in 5th grade. My doctor gave me this and I tried it for 2 months now and it DOES NOT work for me. I was really disappointed.I don't know what to do."

"So, I don't know what this medicine is made of...unicorn horns? Pixie dust? Whatever is in here, it WORKS. My first time using it was last Thursday night. I followed the directions exactly and prepared myself for the itching and burning. Surprisingly, I felt zero pain or itchiness at all. I actually worried that I had applied it incorrectly, but the next day, after risking wearing a medium-toned peach cotton t-shirt, I had NO sweating. At all. All day. I even texted my hubby from work, I was so happy. I used it the next night (Friday) and then not again all weekend. I stayed dry and happy all weekend. Simply amazing stuff. I feel a huge sweaty weight has been removed from my shoulders."

"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."

"I have battled hyperhidrosis for 6 years, trying everything from loofas, SweatBlock, Certain Dri, even putting cinnamon on my underarms, all to an avail. Then, last week I was at the doctors and I decided to mention my sweating problem. She prescribed Hypercare and told me that it has worked for all of her patients. Yeah, I'd heard that one before. Skeptically, I went home and followed the directions to the t. I did experience severe itching and burning (I'm not going to lie, it was intense and kind of felt like someone was holding a blow torch to my pits,) but it was all worth it the next day when there wasn't a drop of sweat on my grey shirt! Please give Hypercare a try, it has truly changed my life!"

"I had been sweating since I was in 8th grade and now I'm (17). But now using this Hypercare has been helping a lot. I had been wearing black shirts all the time, never wore colorfully shirts. And when I wore sweatshirts my sweat would come through. Now I don't have that problem."

"Armpits would sweat profusely. I would stuff paper towels under my armpits and they would come out drenched. I used Hypercare for the first time. The sweating completely stopped. However, I broke out in a bad rash under my armpits the first time I applied it. I noticed that my armpits were completely dry within the first week, but the sweating became worse on my hands and feet. I plan on using it for my hands as well."

"I've been using the product for about 1 month, and the sweating is absolutely gone. My doctor recommended the Botox treatment, but HyperCare is a much cheaper alternative. It did itch for the first 2 weeks, but has since subsided and there is no longer any itching or burning. I also notice that I can now skip 1-2 days, and the sweating is still managed. Great product!"

"I have been suffering from severe sweating since 6th grade. It wasn't just a situation of not being able to raise up my arms--I had to wear black shirts every day or the sweat stains would show. Even in the middle of the winter, I would sweat. Finally, I asked my doctor for Hypercare (which I had heard about from a friend). I used it for the first time last night, and today was amazing. I wore a tight green shirt and I didn't sweat all day. I did feel like I was sweating at points, but when I checked, there was no wetness. There was some burning when I put it on, but it was well worth it. This is an amazing product!"

"I am 16 years old. I have been having a sweating problem since I was 12 years old. I would sweat day and night. I would wake up with huge sweat drenched shirts, go take a shower throw a new shirt on and in under 30 minutes. I got a brand new drenched shirt. I am a very social person, I go to a lot of parties, meet a lot of people, even play sports but something always holds me back from going to some parties or going to some places because of this bad sweating problem I have. I would wear different zipper hoodies to hide my sweating problem, wear almost all black shirts, to hide the very embarrassing problem. The very first night I got this medicine, my whole life changed. I am sweat free, and can wear any color I want."

"I'm 17 and prior to Hypercare I would sweat all the time. It started probably 2-3 years ago, I tried all sorts of deodorants baking soda clinical strength nothing worked for me. I mentioned my issue with my doctor and he prescribed this to me, last night was the first time I applied it and it was pretty painful, like little pricks of needles but I have to say over the entire day I did not sweat once! It was like the thing I was most concerned and self conscious about disappeared. This product will definitely change my life, if you are reading this and considering asking your doctor about this I would 100% recommend doing so, and for your information deodorant can be used with this for odor for armpits. I asked my doctor, it's all good."

"I just put it on last night for the first time. However I put waaaay too much on and my armpits have been burning and red ever since. However for right now I think it's worth it. To wear the clothes you want without having to worry. No deoderant put on after that application. Still dry."

"This is absolutely amazing, After about 1 3/4 years of sweating I finally had enough when I would sweat through hoodies with huge stains. Non of my friends would say anything about it but my mom (who also has it) finally called my pediatrician and got a prescription. I put it on the first night and it burned alot, but it's nothing unbearable. The next day sweat free. Some days I would forget to put it on at night and go through the day with little to no sweat at all. Not even sweating through my clothes. I still put it on every night just to be safe but it really works! I would recommend getting this product. Some people say it doesn't protect against smell but it does for me. The only problems is a little itching during the day and a rash."

"I have been using it now 3 nights a week and have used it for 3 weeks now and I burn and itch still. I also need to use other deodorant because my under arms still get the body odor smell because I am in sports. I still use Hypercare because I CAN WEAR ANY COLOR OF CLOTHING. It is truly amazing!"

"I have just applied this once to my underarms works great ! Only problem is that I experienced burning and itching the first night I applied it haven't applied it since and now my underarms are peeling and burn and feel irritated in the morning when I put on a shirt and put my arms down maybe it was because I used to much at first I'm not sure and I haven't used it since I don't know what I should do has anyone had this experience ?"

"It worked very well for the first 2 weeks with some itching and burning but it was tolerable. Now it doesn't burn or do much to prevent sweating. I don't sweat as much as I used to but it is still an excessive problem. The next step is Botox injections according to my doctor."
