For Hyperhidrosis "HyperCare is truly amazing. Worked after the very first application for my 12-year-old daughter. We tried every deodorant, including Certain Dry and all the clinical strength products, which did not work at all - she would still come home from school soaking wet in her armpit area. I really did not want to have her injected with Botox but was seriously going to check into it because of the damage the sweating was doing to her self-esteem. HyperCare did cause some irritation, but my daughter says it is absolutely worth it - she is so happy and excited to be able to wear any color shirt now. I had no idea that it was that big of a problem for her because she didn't tell me because she was embarrassed about it. Absolutely recommend this product!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I've had hyperhidrosis for 15 years. I would embarrassingly sweat through multiple shirts daily. Business meetings were awful. I would actually adhere my wife's menstrual pads to my undershirts to try and get me through the day, but would eventually sweat through those too. In a recent visit to my dermatologist, he prescribed Drysol/Hypercare. Skeptically, I applied it that night. It burned and itched, keeping me up all night. The next day, I was COMPLETELY dry. I applied it again the next night, still itched but not as bad - slight rash. I took the next 3 nights off to let my armpits heal and still no sweat. I'm on my 2nd week, 3rd application and NO SWEAT. Far less irritation now, dry, and couldn't be happier - truly life changing."

For Hyperhidrosis "This product truly is amazing! I am 21 years old, and since I was in the 6th grade, I have had a problem with my sweating. I always avoided really cute tops and dresses that I knew I would sweat in and ruin. Basically, all my tops are black, and it was still visible that I was sweating. I never wore tight shirts, always real loose-fitting, and I was just miserable. Finally, I got over my embarrassment and asked my gynecologist what I can do about this sweating problem, and she prescribed Hypercare. It stung so badly, and I had so much irritation that I wanted to cry, but I am so glad I kept using it because that burning was so worth it! I can wear ANYTHING I want, no matter the fit or color. It is amazing, and I feel so beautiful and happy! I recommend this product!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I agree with most of the other users here that this is an amazing product. I have had hyperhidrosis for a couple of years and sort of learned to live with it rather than treat it as a medical condition and get treatment. Aside from some itching and irritation at night, I can't think of anything bad about this medicine. For the first time in years, I don't have to hide my underarms or wipe my hands on my jeans before shaking hands with someone. And I just went to the store to buy some light-colored shirts. Hypercare/Drysol is really life-changing for me. Thanks to you all for sharing your experiences, and if anyone reading this discussion suffers from hyperhidrosis, I hope you will give this drug a try."

For Hyperhidrosis "I was recommended this product for axillary hyperhidrosis. The first night, it tingled a little, but it was tolerable. Ever since then, I have been using it every few weeks because I fear losing sleep due to the irritation, which leads to redness and soreness. And then the irritation feels like a tingling itch, which progresses to a burning sensation, especially when you try to scratch a little. I would still try it if I were you, it's different for everyone. The things I learned are to wait maybe 30 minutes after washing underarms at night to apply it, and waiting 2 days after shaving probably isn't enough to restrict burning due to the high level of alcohol in the product. The less, the better, trust me, don't keep piling it on top."

For Hyperhidrosis "I developed sweaty armpits in high school and just dealt with it for many years by layering T-shirts 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 reapply 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."

For Hyperhidrosis "I've sweated excessively since about 6th grade. I would always get comments on it, and I would avoid doing a lot of physical activity. But when I reached 9th grade and had gym every day, I realized how embarrassing it was to be the only one covered in buckets of sweat. I was really self-conscious about it until I saw a dermatologist. He prescribed Hypercare, and it worked immediately after I started using it. After a few weeks, though, I noticed a lot of irritation, I had been following all instructions, but my underarms were blood red. I saw the dermatologist again, and he prescribed Xerac AC. It's not as irritating, but unfortunately less effective."

For Hyperhidrosis "I am 22 years old, and I have always had sweating issues in conditions that did not call for it. Recently, it has gotten very bad. Can't make it through a workday of retail without a 6-inch diameter sweat stain. I have had a series of interviews for an internship, and the combination of nervousness and hyperhidrosis equals catastrophic amounts of sweat and pit stains. This is what really motivated me to seek help. Tried it last night, didn't notice much irritation at all. Used a tiny amount, and my doctor also recommended putting on a thin layer of moisturizing girl deodorant to help with irritation. Today, I am sweat-free so far. I will update after a few days."

For Hyperhidrosis "It worked for the first hour, maybe, then I sweated right through it. Not sure if I have a stronger case or this just didn't work. It also gave me terrible irritation in the applied area for a few hours after taking it off."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have been using this for a few months now. Hypercare has changed my life. That is no exaggeration. As many of you out there probably know, sweating issues can seriously affect your quality of life. No more ruined shirts. No fear of lifting my arms. No longer have to layer an uncomfortably wet undershirt underneath, only to have to change it out halfway through the day. So much more confidence in simple day-to-day activities, and a confidence boost for things that really matter such as interviews or dates. The beautiful thing about this product is that after the first week or two, you don't have to apply it every night. Now I apply it 1-2 times a week, and that works great. I have no itching or irritation, but those results can vary."
