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 "Can only have this on for literally minutes before the itching/burning makes me want to cry. I can't even concentrate on a TV show to take my mind off it. Anyone know of an alternative that doesn't cause these effects? The catch-22 is that the one time I kept it on half the night, I didn't sweat again for months. Should probably also mention that my sweating problem is my face and neck, particularly my forehead."

For Hyperhidrosis "I used Hypercare in the past, but stopped using it. I decided to use it again yesterday because I have been sweating a ton. Well, last night it was itchy and burning my armpits. I didn't sweat today, though! I just put it on about 15 minutes ago, and the burning and itching are much worse. It hurts so badly. I am only using this until I can get to the dermatologist to get something that won't hurt so much."

For Hyperhidrosis "I had no problem with hyperhidrosis until I passed the age of 40. Then it suddenly became a huge problem. Peri-menopause, perhaps. I began sweating profusely and became very self-conscious about my body odor. I tried many different antiperspirants/deodorants, including 'clinical strength.' They would work for a short time, then stop working. I mentioned this to my nurse practitioner, and she suggested I try this. It really works! I will admit the itching/tingling/stinging is annoying, but worth dealing with to have dry pits! I used Hypercare for a few years, but recently was prescribed Drysol. They seem to work equally well and have the same side effects for me."

For Hyperhidrosis "So, I don't know what this medicine is made of...unicorn horns? Pixie dust? Whatever is in here, it WORKS. My first time using it was last Thursday night. I followed the directions exactly and prepared myself for the itching and burning. Surprisingly, I felt zero pain or itchiness at all. I actually worried that I had applied it incorrectly, but the next day, after risking wearing a medium-toned peach cotton t-shirt, I had NO sweating. At all. All day. I even texted my hubby from work, I was so happy. I used it the next night (Friday) and then not again all weekend. I stayed dry and happy all weekend. Simply amazing stuff. I feel a huge, sweaty weight has been removed from my shoulders."

For Hyperhidrosis "I've been using the product for about 1 month, and the sweating is absolutely gone. My doctor recommended the Botox treatment, but HyperCare is a much cheaper alternative. It did itch for the first 2 weeks, but has since subsided, and there is no longer any itching or burning. I also notice that I can now skip 1-2 days, and the sweating is still managed. Great product!"

For Hyperhidrosis "This is absolutely amazing. After about 1 3/4 years of sweating, I finally had enough when I would sweat through hoodies with huge stains. None of my friends would say anything about it, but my mom (who also has it) finally called my pediatrician and got a prescription. I put it on the first night, and it burned a lot, but it's nothing unbearable. The next day, sweat-free. Some days I would forget to put it on at night and go through the day with little to no sweat at all. Not even sweating through my clothes. I still put it on every night just to be safe, but it really works! I would recommend getting this product. Some people say it doesn't protect against smell, but it does for me. The only problem is a little itching during the day and a rash."

For Hyperhidrosis "This product is amazing. I went up to my aunt's house for 2 weeks, and I told her about my condition. She gave me Hypercare because my cousin said it didn't work for her. I figured I would try it. I applied it, and it burned, itched, and stung. But the next day, I didn't sweat at all! The pain got so bad that I just stopped using it. But a few nights ago, I found this website and read the reviews and applied it again, dealing with the pain. I recommend it to anybody! This all started when I was about 9, in 5th grade. Now I'm 13 in 7th, and I don't have all the insecurities!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I have battled hyperhidrosis for 6 years, trying everything from loofas, SweatBlock, Certain Dri, even putting cinnamon on my underarms, all to no avail. Then, last week I was at the doctor's, and I decided to mention my sweating problem. She prescribed Hypercare and told me that it has worked for all of her patients. Yeah, I'd heard that one before. Skeptically, I went home and followed the directions to the tee. I did experience severe itching and burning (I'm not going to lie, it was intense and kind of felt like someone was holding a blowtorch to my pits), but it was all worth it the next day when there wasn't a drop of sweat on my gray shirt! Please give Hypercare a try, it has truly changed my life!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I have been using it now 3 nights a week and have used it for 3 weeks now, and I burn and itch still. I also need to use other deodorant because my underarms still get the body odor smell because I am in sports. I still use Hypercare because I can wear any color of clothing. It is truly amazing!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I am 18 years old, and I have had a sweating problem under my arms since I was 13. I have been wearing black T-shirts since I can remember, only because they didn't show sweat! I went to my doctor about a month ago, and she prescribed me Hypercare. I love it. I could feel the difference just after one use. It really is a miracle! Yes, it itches, and sometimes burns when you put it on, but it is totally worth it, and many people say that I would start sweating a lot in other places, but I haven't noticed that anywhere, so I am super happy with Hypercare."

For Hyperhidrosis "I'm 35 and have had a problem with sweating since high school. Shortly after high school, I started taking birth control pills, and the problem stopped. I stopped taking the pill last year, and within a few months, I noticed my sweating was starting again. I don't know if it was because of the birth control pills or not. I was embarrassed to bring it up to my doctor, but I finally did. I couldn't lift up my arms at all at work because of the sweat marks. You take Hypercare for a few days at first, and I was so excited that I stopped sweating. I could finally wear thin colored shirts and not have sweat marks anymore. The only side effect I've had is the itching, intense at times at night when I have it on. Once or twice, I've had to wash it off. But 100% worth it."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have been using this for 5 days on my face to treat excessive sweating. I experienced extreme burning and itching. One thing that has worked for it is baking soda. I pour some in a cup and mix it with a little water until it is the consistency of icing. After I put it on, I don't experience any more burning or itching. Then, when it dries, I take it off. Good luck, and I hope this helped."

For Hyperhidrosis "So, the night before I used Hypercare, I came onto this site and looked at user reviews, since I was reluctant to use it at first because I was worried it wouldn't work and I'd have bad BO all day at school. I think the user reviews helped my unsureness because that's what mattered most to me; how it worked for the everyday person. I put it on last night, and it stung and itched (I'm on the second night, and the itch is still there), but the next day I barely sweat. I sweat a little at lunch (but since it's the first day, it's not fully effective), but that was it! Hypercare is a dream come true. No longer do I have to live with the embarrassment of sweating."

For Hyperhidrosis "I'm a fifteen-year-old girl, and I'm going to be a junior once the summer vacation ends. I've had axillary hyperhidrosis since maybe sixth grade. I never really became self-conscious about it until maybe eighth grade. I always wore sweatshirts, no matter what, or a baggy T-shirt. My hyperhidrosis wasn't as bad as others, where they'd be drenched in sweat, I just always had a maybe one point five by one point five inch sweat mark, and it's just uncomfortable. The night before last night, I started using Hypercare solution, and the following day (yesterday), I had absolutely no sweating. The only problem is that Hypercare is really itchy and irritates my skin. But it doesn't burn. I recommend this product! It works like magic. Changed my life."

For Hyperhidrosis "I'm a 15-year-old girl, and I've been using this product for about 2 years now. I used to sweat in my underarms so badly that I'd have huge pit stains, no matter if it was hot outside or not. I started wearing only baggy t-shirts to school because I was so uncomfortable. Then my doctor prescribed Hypercare, and it truly works wonders. I put it on at night before I go to bed, and it burns, tingles, and itches a little, but it's definitely worth it. The next day, I don't sweat AT ALL. Now I can wear cute clothes, and I don't feel gross or uncomfortable! I love this product!"

For Hyperhidrosis "Since about 7th grade, I've been dealing with SUPER sweaty armpits. I mean a water fountain. I would have to wear sweaters to school every day (even in summer). I avoided light-colored shirts and anything tight-fitting. I tried men's deodorants and every kind of women's deodorants out there. Finally, at age 19, I went to the doctor and embarrassingly told her of my sweat problem, and she prescribed me Hypercare. My first application itched and burned a little, but the next morning I didn't sweat. Last night was my second application, and this morning it had a little rash (I'm not worried), but I think it's totally worth it if it keeps my sweat problem under control. I should have gone to the doctor in like 8th grade! Thank you, doctors!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I've been sweating excessively since the seventh grade. I'm now in the ninth grade, and a week ago my doctor prescribed me Hypercare for my excessive sweating. On the first night of application, I felt no burning or itching at all. On the following day, my sweating was cut drastically. I was still sweating and stinking, but it was at a fairly normal amount. I applied it again for the next two nights. It was the same result; still some sweating and stinking. On the fourth day of application, I sweated a little bit in the morning, then nothing after about 12 p.m. I couldn't believe it! This product did take time to work, but I couldn't be happier! I do apply deodorant in the morning to stop the stinking and feel fresh."

For Hyperhidrosis "Today, thanks to Hypercare, I am wearing a teal-colored silky shirt with no sweating. I am so happy that this product has changed my life and my wardrobe. I went shopping with my husband this weekend and bought all form-fitting, colored shirts. Sure, it itches for a little while after applying, but it is so worth it. I followed the directions of applying 3 nights in a row, and now I am able to just use it once per week, and I am dry as a bone. Amazing what a difference not sweating all day makes."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have just applied this once to my underarms. Works great! Only problem is that I experienced burning and itching the first night I applied it. Haven't applied it since and now my underarms are peeling and burn and feel irritated in the morning when I put on a shirt and put my arms down. Maybe it was because I used too much at first, I'm not sure, and I haven't used it since. I don't know what I should do. Has anyone had this experience?"

For Hyperhidrosis "It worked very well for the first 2 weeks, with some itching and burning, but it was tolerable. Now it doesn't burn or do much to prevent sweating. I don't sweat as much as I used to, but it is still an excessive problem. The next step is Botox injections, according to my doctor."

For Hyperhidrosis "The pain this causes is excruciating. I've had to get up several times during the night to wash it off due to the burning and itching it causes. It's so painful I can't sleep and end up tearing up washing it off. It works for a couple of days, and then you're back to suffering through a painful sleepless night. The pain isn't worth it."

For Hyperhidrosis "I've read pages of these reviews after a second sleepless night due to itching and burning after application. I have blister-form eczema, for 7 tests now. I'm a 26-year-old female. The eczema is on my feet and is triggered by stress and sweating... and stress causes more sweating. My dermatologist prescribed this for me. Day 1, the sweat was 85% gone and very few new blisters appeared (only 4 when I normally get 10-20/day). It itches and burns pretty bad, but I'm toughing through it and am looking forward to tomorrow's results (day 2). When I'm blister-free, I'm going to get my first pedicure ever!"

For Hyperhidrosis "This product is absolutely AMAZING! I am so glad that I have found something that finally works! I used it one night, it itched and burned, but I braved through it because pain is beauty! I used it one day, and for the next 3 days, I had not 1 drop of sweat! Just used it again last night, and I'm still bone dry! Love it!"
