For Hyperhidrosis "I have suffered with excessive sweating on my scalp for 4-5 years, many times staying home rather than be embarrassed by sweat dripping off my hair. After 4 nights of using Drysol, I put it to the test and attended a swim meet for one of my grandkids, 90-degree temperature, and my scalp stayed DRY! The benefit of this far outweighs the temporary tingling and itchy feeling when applied to my scalp. My dermatologist who prescribed Drysol for me is my HERO!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I've been using Drysol for about 15 years, and it has changed my life. I went from always having to wear black and/or jackets all the time to having absolutely no more sweating! I followed the directions to a tee, but after a year, I started to cut back on my use. Now, I only apply once a month, and it works great. Tip: Make sure you don't shave your armpits for at least a couple of days before applying, and that will alleviate any tingling or burning."

For Hyperhidrosis "I can't remember a time when I didn't sweat! That all changed a month ago. I bought Drysol and also the mild Drysol for my face. I was unsure about it at first because when I put it on, the tingling was very intense. The first day, I only left it on for four hours and then washed it off because I couldn't take the tingling. The second night, I went all night...the tingling was less. I only did those two nights, and I didn't sweat for almost a week. I use it under my arms and the mild Drysol on my face. I do not recommend it to anyone with really sensitive skin, but I do recommend it to anyone who is desperate for a solution to their problem with hyperhidrosis."

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 have excessive underarm sweating, and I thought I would give Drysol a go, which is an over-the-counter medicine here in Canada. I was hoping that it would work, and I could wear clothes instead of putting on jackets in the summer. On my first application, I dried my armpits and slowly applied it around my armpit and only noticed a little tingling sensation at first. During the night, it itched a little bit, but nothing too bad. The next day, I noticed I was still sweating, so I thought it would work the next day. On the 3rd night I applied it, my armpit started to burn really badly. It burned to the point where I couldn't sleep all night, and I was still sweating like before."

For Hyperhidrosis "Have been hiding excessive sweating for about 2 years now. Didn't sweat at all after the first application of Drysol! It did tingle/itch for about 15 minutes, but definitely nothing to stop using it for! On day 3 and haven't had a single drop of perspiration and have not had to use another deodorant (although I think I might get one to dab on in the mornings just to make me feel better). BEST PRODUCT EVER."

For Hyperhidrosis "I just want to say that this product has completely changed my life. I used to wake up to sweaty armpits, and I would worry about lifting up my arms all day long, every day. I would wear jackets to cover up the sweating and try to wear white shirts to try and help. Not anymore. I am 100% satisfied with its results. The only negative effect was just a little tingling and itching, but wow, was it worth it. I no longer have to worry about my armpits! Definitely worth every penny."

For Hyperhidrosis "The stuff is the best thing out there. I have had Botox treatments in the past, and they only lasted up to 3 months. I bought Drysol, and it tingled and itched that evening, but after the first use, I could already tell the difference. On day 2, I shaved that morning and put it on in the evening. I will never do that again (they tell you not to do it, but I thought since I shaved that morning it wouldn't be that bad). It burned all night and the next day, but already on day 2 - NO more sweating. I didn't put it on day 3, afraid of the burning because of the shaving, and I still didn't sweat."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have severe sweating as a side effect from an anxiety medication I’m on. The main problem area for me was my face. I would sweat so much for no reason, and it was honestly embarrassing for me. I finally brought it up to my doctor, and she prescribed Drysol. I didn’t try it for a while because I have really sensitive skin but finally decided to give it a try last night. I put it on and went to bed. I’m not going to lie, the burning, tingling, prickly feeling was a lot. Not unbearable, but a lot. I washed it off in the morning, and throughout the day there was still a very slight irritated feeling, could be because my skin is so sensitive. But the good thing was barely any sweating! It made a drastic difference from one use! So happy and would recommend for anyone with this issue to at least try it for themselves."
