For Hyperhidrosis "Experienced excessive sweating my entire life. I wish I would have gotten treated a long time ago! I've always worn baggy shirts, hoodies, layers, anything to cover it up. Now I don't have to anymore. I never sweat anymore. However, the doctor recommended 3 times a week, and I got over excessive the first week out of eagerness. If used too often, or right after shaving, it dries them out so bad and can be very painful. Used as stated is amazing, though. Love it!"

For Hyperhidrosis "This stuff is a life changer! I was prescribed this about 2 years ago and have used it ever since. I would pour sweat under my arms and could be freezing cold. I was determined to find something that helped. I tried all the expensive deodorants at the store, and none of them worked. I finally told my doctor, and he prescribed me this. Yes, it burns and hurts at first, but eventually, you won't need to apply it but maybe a couple of times a month and never apply it the same day you shave. It doesn't hurt, burn, or irritate me at all anymore, and still no sweating. Don't know what I would do if I could no longer get this."

For Hyperhidrosis "I've suffered from hyperhidrosis all my life, and it was nearly unbearable. I got to the point where I didn't want to go out because of it, and Hypercare saved me. Easy application and no pain or issues for me, although I have noted many other people have had these issues."

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'm 17, and prior to Hypercare, I would sweat all the time. It started probably 2-3 years ago. I tried all sorts of deodorants: baking soda, clinical strength-nothing worked for me. I mentioned my issue to my doctor, and he prescribed this to me. Last night was the first time I applied it, and it was pretty painful, like little pricks of needles. But I have to say, over the entire day, I did not sweat once! It was like the thing I was most concerned and self-conscious about disappeared. This product will definitely change my life. If you are reading this and considering asking your doctor about this, I would 100% recommend doing so. And for your information, deodorant can be used with this for odor for armpits. I asked my doctor, it's all good."

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 have had hyperhidrosis since the 6th or 7th grade, and it really is one of the worst things that you can have when you are trying to have a social life. I started Hypercare 3 days ago, and it works like magic. Like many others, I was stuck wearing black and white T-shirts and tank tops. Not anymore. The first day I got it, I wore grey. Not a sweat mark at all. The only downside is that the pain of it is horrible because it burns so bad. I'm only on my third day, and I hope that it starts to lessen soon, but other than that, it truly is a blessing."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have severe hyperhidrosis, I got the Botox injections last year, and they were a miracle, but my insurance wouldn't cover it this year. I have been using Hypercare and it's amazing. It can be painful at first, but if you stick through it and use Cutivate lotion or an anti-itch cream, you'll be fine."

For Hyperhidrosis "I started to notice that I sweat a lot, so I went to the doctor yesterday, and she prescribed Hypercare. When I got home, I put it on, and about 30 minutes later, my underarms started to burn and swell and was red. I was up all night long in pain and couldn't do anything about it, and I'm still sweating today."

For Hyperhidrosis "Hypercare did not work for me that well and caused my skin to form a rash and caused it to hurt very badly."
