For Hyperhidrosis "I suffered with hyperhidrosis for years. I could be shivering cold, and my armpits would still be pouring sweat. Wearing gray was out of the question! Then I found an antiperspirant containing aluminum chloride: not to be overdramatic... but it changed my life! At first, I dealt with the unbearable itching and irritation. After a while, I learned to use less and only apply it at night. After a couple of months of daily use, I reduced to every other day... then every few days... and after a year, I eventually just stopped using it because the problem seemed to disappear completely. That was 15 years ago! To this day, I still do not sweat under my arms unless I'm really exerting myself... and still, it's such a small amount. Less than 'normal' people."

For Hyperhidrosis "Amazing product. It irritates my skin and causes itchiness. However, I learned to apply only 3 hits under each armpit and never to use it after shower, but rather wait at least an hour. Also, use it at most every other day and not every day."

For Hyperhidrosis "Been suffering with hyperhidrosis ever since I hit puberty. It gets really bad when it’s cold or if my anxiety is acting up. I also take stimulant medication on top of it, so it makes everything 10x worse, sweat-wise. I use this about 2 to 3 times a week, and it’s done wonders. Doesn’t get rid of all my sweat, but gets rid of 50-70% of it, depending on the day. You NEED to use it correctly for it to work. Can’t use it after showering or shaving, and you need to let it completely dry. Never experience any burning whatsoever besides the first time I used it. If you use it too much on your skin or after shaving, it WILL get irritated and burn. Probably the best thing I’m gonna find without getting a prescription from a doctor."
