For Hyperhidrosis "I have to say that Drysol is a lifesaver. All of a sudden, about 4 years ago, I started sweating to the point where it was embarrassing to go out in public for fear that people would see pit stains. I went to my dermatologist, and he recommended this product. I started using it maybe a week ago, and within the first two uses, I was sweat-free! When I go to work out, I will be dripping wet everywhere, but my underarms are completely dry! Drysol is a lifesaver. I highly recommend."

For Hyperhidrosis "I’ve been using Certain Dry for over ten years. I use it a few times a week, but not every day. When I first started using it, I used it 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."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have experienced excessive underarm sweating since my teens and have been so annoyed and embarrassed. Why didn't I check into this sooner? This product is amazing! I agree with other reviewers about the burning/tingling sensation. When I first started using it about a month ago, I followed the directions and used it for three consecutive nights. It burned, I won't lie. It kept me from getting a full night's sleep. BUT, the results were worth it! After just one application, it worked! The next day there was NO wetness. I now apply it just once a week, and it is still effective for me. Plus, the burning sensation has never occurred again. I do find it necessary to apply deodorant (not antiperspirant) in the morning."

For Hyperhidrosis "My sweating is confined to my head and face. I must be the only one because the posts I've read are underarms, feet, and hands. So I went to my dermatologist. I wanted Hypercare, but he opted for the slightly weaker medication Xerac to start. It really stung my forehead the first time, I left it on for three hours and had to wipe it off my face. Scalp was okay. The next day, head sweat cut by 75%, I'd say. So last night, it did not sting at all on my face. Left it on all night. Will see how I do today."

For Hyperhidrosis "I’ve been using Drysol for a few months now, just like most of you guys here. I had super bad armpit sweating. So, so bad. I could only wear dark shirts and hoodies because the sweat would show through both, even in the winter. I had to throw shirts away from the sweat ruining the shirts. I first tried the lesser intense over-the-counter remedy, Certain Dri, which worked like a charm. That product is definitely good. It doesn’t make your pits itch after you’re done. But I asked my doctor what to do, and the first thing he recommends is Botox and getting the surgical way, but he said that you’d have to go back every so often to get it redone. But then he said Drysol worked, and I gave it a try, and I love it. It does itch, unfortunately, but if you can resist the urge, you’ll love the product. That is my only complaint. But I would recommend Drysol for anyone going through the same issue, especially in high school."

For Hyperhidrosis "Sounds very dramatic, but it has literally changed my life. No more sweaty palms. It's definitely caused my armpits to sweat less, but it hasn't completely stopped that yet. Be aware that you have to apply it every single night (at least at first), and it causes itching and redness, and if you use it on your hands, they will be very dry. However, it's a very small price to pay because it really does stop sweating. For me, it took about 1 1/2-2 weeks before my hands completely stopped sweating, but there was a noticeable difference the next day. Worth every penny."

For Hyperhidrosis "Used to sweat constantly through my pits, applying Drysol at night before bed and about 95% of the sweat is stopped. Only reason it's not a 10 is because for some, the extreme itching can be a problem, but for me, the itching was mild and not so bad that I couldn't tolerate it. Itching went away about 15-20 minutes after it dried. Also, a tip: use a blow dryer with low heat on your pits to dry it faster because this stuff takes ages to dry by itself."

For Hyperhidrosis "I’ve had hyperhidrosis for the past 6-7 years. I used Drysol about 2-3 years ago, and although the first two weeks were filled with itchiness and red skin, I can say that Drysol has changed my life. I was actually able to wear a grey. Yes, GREY. Shirt to school with so much confidence. Now, I’m back to some pit stains and just got another refill about 2 weeks ago, and it has stopped. After a while, the itching goes away. This product has alcohol & aluminum chloride. It’s not meant for super sensitive skin. But most reviews I’ve seen, it’s been the same for me. From my experience, Drysol works."

For Hyperhidrosis "On July 4th weekend, I recommended Drysol to a very close friend. At first, he was extremely skeptical about using the product. Because he had tried everything under the sun, he felt it would just be a waste of time. But after one application, he was blown away by Drysol. His scalp was as dry as baby powder. For the first time in about twenty years, he doesn't have to carry those darn face cloths around and doesn't have to feel the utter humiliation that hyperhidrosis has plagued him with in the past. I am so thrilled for him! Since using the product, he literally hasn't stopped smiling. I rate the product 10 out of 10."

For Hyperhidrosis "I've been using Drysol for close to 6 years now. Prior, I used to sweat just sitting in my chair, and it made me extremely self-conscious. I tried every deodorant/antiperspirant on the market, and nothing helped. Finally, I went to my dermatologist, and he prescribed this. The first few times I used it, it was extremely itchy and red, but I would tough it out. I learned from experience not to shave before applying and to make sure I wear a T-shirt to bed, otherwise, the rubbing together may cause irritation. Over the years, my sweating has seriously reduced. I went from having to put Drysol on every couple of days to weeks, now I put it on MAYBE 3 times a year. Love it."

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 doctor's today to take pills instead."

For Hyperhidrosis "I'm a university student who suffers from hyperhidrosis. I've had it for a few years, ever since puberty hit. It's always embarrassing having sweat stains, it always feels like someone is staring. I always keep my arms down once I notice they are there. I will never even raise my hand in class or reach the top of my locker, so I don't raise my arms. No other antiperspirant worked, and I'm too young for Botox. Certain Dry didn't work either. I tried this, went from doing it every other night to once or twice a week. It was itchy at first, but now nothing. But I was so happy I could not be embarrassed anymore. I could wear whatever I wanted and buy whatever. Though, I did notice some BO come back, so I used some natural deodorant along with it. Changed my life."

For Hyperhidrosis "I am not one to write reviews regularly, but I have to share my experience. Like most here, I suffer from hyperhidrosis and have struggled all my life buying just certain colors and fabrics because of all the armpit sweat. Okay, I got Drysol and just used it for the first time last night. After application, I dried with a hairdryer till it was white (dry). Yes, it burns some, and it itched like crazy. I shaved, so that might have something to do with the itch. I concentrated on watching TV till I went to sleep. My God, today I was not sweating at work. Not a drop of sweat on my underarms! I am in shock. I highly recommend it. It's a life changer. I will be going shopping soon!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I don’t sweat excessively, but have bad armpit odor. I have excellent hygiene, but the bad odor has always plagued me. I use Certain Dri, and it is powerful. The first time I tried it, I tried to wash it off; it burned so bad, even with just a tiny amount. I kept using it and have been for a year now. I have to put on more than recommended about once a week (about 7 swipes worth, covering my entire armpit area), and then the other times I just use 2-3 swipes. When I use it heavily, it makes my armpits pretty sore, even the next day. This stuff burns my armpits bad when I apply it, making it hard to fall asleep sometimes. It also makes them itch like crazy, but to me, it’s worth it. I used to use it every other night but had to bump back up to every night; once it makes my armpits burn really bad to where I can’t stand to do it another night in a row, I go back down to every other night. I do not wear deodorant with this; I only use this product."

For Hyperhidrosis "When I was in middle school, I started experiencing hyperhidrosis of the underarms. I don't remember how I first came across Drysol, but it made such a huge difference in my life! I could wear ANY SHIRT I wanted! It definitely caused some itching/stinging of the underarm area if I applied it within 24 hours of shaving, so follow the directions. The day after the first use, my underarms were 100% sweat-free. I used it for three consecutive nights, and after that, I only needed to reapply once a week, and eventually once a month, and so on. Today, I haven't used it in at least 8 years, but I still don't have any underarm sweat. It basically deleted my axillary sweat glands. Hallelujah."

For Hyperhidrosis "This is my first time EVER writing a review, but I was so happy with this product I felt like I just had to give my positive feedback. I have had problems with sweating for years. I couldn't understand how people could wear T-shirts and be able to raise their arms with ease. I have spent the last ten years wearing clothes that I know won't show signs of sweat. It's been terrible. I finally decided to go online and search and stumbled across Drysol. I read a few reviews, and after trying every product on the market, I was praying this one would work out, and it did. I am so excited about this and my whole new wardrobe I can wear. Thank you so, so, so much. I wish I could kiss the people who created this product!"

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 in to 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."

For Hyperhidrosis "I’m sure a lot of you guys are like me, dealing with excessive sweating all around your body, even in cool temperatures. This was something that lowered my self-esteem and confidence greatly. Needless to say, I was looking for anything that can help, and Certain Dri did. Of course, sometimes I still get a bit sweaty, but 98% of the time I’m completely dry and don’t have to worry about pit stains. I put it on before bed, as instructed, and remain dry all day. I’m really so grateful I found this. Get it!"

For Hyperhidrosis "Typical hyperhidrosis story here. All of my white undershirts have nasty-looking yellow/brown stains on the pits, and a lot of colored shirts have white stains from sweating so much that over-the-counter deodorant had stained the pits. I'll admit, I didn't have a ton of hope for Drysol, as no deodorant has ever worked for me. This stuff works. I'm amazed. The only problem is that it is excruciatingly itchy. I thought this would only be for the first couple of nights, but nope. Every single night it itches like hell for about 30 minutes. Even before I apply it, there's a slight itch. Occasionally, the itching is accompanied by a slight burning sensation, but not always. The stuff works wonders, and I'd rate it 10/10 if it wasn't for the itch."

For Hyperhidrosis "I am someone who sweats anytime under my arms, it could be for any reason, and I would filter my life around it. Loose shirts, dark colors, and I would rarely ever raise my arms for the fear that I would show my stains of sweat. Talked to my dermatologist, and they offered me Drysol, and I absolutely loved that I could wear anything and I wouldn't sweat, but it does have its downside to it. I am a girl, and shaving under my arms irritates the crap out of it and burns. I tried to use Nair instead of shaving, and it burns even more. I honestly do not know what to do."

For Hyperhidrosis "Had severe sweating in my armpits beginning when I started to go through puberty. My parents and doctor both told me that as I got older, this problem would go away. It didn't, and as a result, I started using Drysol. I know you probably have seen these two words a lot on this website, but the product really is 'life changing'. Great product."

For Hyperhidrosis "PLEASE READ: Are you afraid of shaking people's hands? Do pencils slip from your grip? Have sweaty hands during the dead of winter? Afraid of handling loose change? Do you WANT a change? LOOK NO FURTHER THAN DRYSOL! I've had all the above problems and MORE for so many years; I've been embarrassed and socially anxious because of hyperhidrosis. Finally, I went to the pharmacy and the pharmacist recommended Drysol. I had never heard of it before, but what more could I lose? My actual hands? I tried it every night for four days now, and it keeps getting better and better. We went to church today (Christmas) and during the peace offering, my hands were completely DRY! I owe my life to this product. God bless them. I recommend it to everyone!!"

For Hyperhidrosis "100% suggest trying this antiperspirant. I tried absolutely every deodorant and antiperspirant for years, and nothing ever worked. I used to sweat terribly and would without fail have large sweat stains, regardless of freezing temperatures or short sleeve shirts. I tried Hypercare after reading tons of reviews, and I'm incredibly happy I did. It works for me every single day!"

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!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I have had this issue for several years. I am 20. I would get dressed and have to change before I left the house because I would be soaked through in a few minutes. My clothes were stained. I couldn't wear light-colored clothes and always wore a sweater or jacket to hide the wetness. I tried every clinical strength over-the-counter product on the market to no avail. I finally asked my doctor, and she wrote me a prescription for Drysol. It worked after the first application. I couldn't believe I suffered all that time. My insurance covers it, but it is cheaper than my copay. It literally changed my life. I now wear cotton blouses with confidence. No side effects. Just don't use it after shaving."
