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 everyday."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have been battling excessive sweat for a long time in my life. I have noticed that many hyperhidrosis treatments have not been working like the should be and have made it very difficult for me say that I found one that actually worked. Some worked for a little while then stopped and others only have a little or no effect, which is one of the things that I noticed with Certain Dri. However, with a little research I found out that hyperhidrosis solutions were not all created equal. For example, Certain Dri has three different types of products, which one of them has 12%,20%, and 25% in each of deodorant. So, when I tried the product, I used one that was too low in the percentage of aluminum, I went with a higher dosage and it works. YAY!!!!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I've currently been using Certain Dri for 2 weeks now and I'm 29 I've had hyperhydrosis since I was about 18 and have tried hiding it since wearing black shirts and sweatshirts since then I just started a job 2 months ago and in the past week and noticed I can now wear Grey shirts and pretty much any color with little to no sweating outside of work I'm going to continue to use this product until I feel confident enough to stop wearing black to work it's a factory and it gets extremely hot but the results were truly astounding regular antiperspirants do not work for me this is life changing.."

"I liked this Certain Dri at first, but now after a few months I notice soreness around my breast close to my armpit, and the itch is not continuous but annoying when it does itch. It did work well but now I'm afraid to use"

For Hyperhidrosis "Ok, I decided I wanted to review this because this is the first product I have ever come across that actually works for me. For background I started to sweat on an extreme level when I was around 12 it was so bad to the point I would be sitting in class with a sweatshirt on and I would feel my sweat trickle down my arms. My armpits and clothes were drenched all day in my sweat and it’s not like I had an issue with body odour it’s just I always felt a little musty being so sweaty. I searched on tik tok first because that’s my source of info and I found certain dri and NGL I was a little skeptical about it because i’ve tried anything and everything but I decided to just give it a chance considering it was really affordable. The first time I applied it it stung like crazy but I went to sleep and went to school and POOF I had no sweat like at all. i haven’t tried wearing gray yet but I soon will."

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 2/3 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/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."

For Hyperhidrosis "Try this product. Follow the directions. It worked for me. I lived the first 30 yrs of my life "pitted out". I used it regularly for about one year. Now, I still sweat during exertion, which I consider normal, but, I mostly only use deodorant products. I used this product when it was only sold thru the pharmacy window. Now you can get it on the shelf right next to all the other anti perspirant / deodorant products."

For Hyperhidrosis "Excessive Sweat effect us all differently, but thing that stays the same is that everyone with hyperhidrosis usually hates physical activities, social situations, anxiety, and any type of heat that makes us sweat more. Perspiration pretty much controls our lives and forces us to seek other means of hyperhidrosis treatments like the surgery, natural treatments, or a antiperspirant. The problem is that there is so many products and treatments for excessive sweating that its hard to figured out the right one for me. I liked Certain Dri because it gives me many types of products to choose from. It also give me 72 hours of protection with only one application. Make sure that you start with the lowest percentage of aluminium and move up from there"

For Hyperhidrosis "It really works and I've been struggling with excessive sweating in my armpits for years to the point that I couldn't wear shirts of any color. But after using Certain Dri, my armpits don't sweat at all. However, it does make my armpits really itchy for about 2-3 hours."

For Hyperhidrosis "I had to deal with this for about a decade (hyperhidrosis) tried everything and then on a whim decided to try this. I've seen other folks have negative stuff to say but at least in my case it totally helped. I went from all out leaking sweat to nothing at all. would recommend."

For Hyperhidrosis "I’m a female in my 20’s & since I can remember I have always struggled with excess, embarrassing sweating. This is the only product that has seemed to prevent my arm pit stains entirely. But this product comes with a price. I do have sensitive skin so I get a very abnormal severe rash when using CertiDri. My arm pits get a harsh red rash &I have a hard time sleeping w/it on because it says to apply at night. However, this rash is painful & itchy so it is hard to relax and fall asleep but in trade you really will NOT sweat at all. I can finally wear white T-Shirts without worrying about pit stains. I highly recommend NOT shaving your arms pit before using at least 1-2 days because it makes them way more irritated and the rash can be worse. Also, the rash was noticeable to my friends because I was in a swimsuit and they could notice it was bright red. Pick your battles between having an itchy painful rash while sleeping or not sweating for 3-4 days. I only apply 2x a week between shaving my arm pits"

For Hyperhidrosis "I have used Certain Dri for like 2 weeks now and it has worked with sweating. I hardly sweat anywhere but for some reason, just stepping outside for like 5 seconds, my body begins to smell a musky odor. I don't know if Certain Dri is supposed to mask the odor, but for some reason I don't sweat but smell sweaty. But I recommend!"
