For Hyperhidrosis "This medication is incredible! Like the other reviewers on this site, I suffered from severe sweating since I was a young child. After using this medication, I found that my sweating was reduced by 90%, if not more. The very mild side effects, a tingling or itching after using the medication, are well worth the peace of mind and joy of living life sweat-free. There are still times when I find myself a little sweaty, but overall I am incredibly impressed with this medication, and it is life-changing. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a sweating issue. Heads up - this medication can take up to a few weeks to fully kick in. You also have to play around with it to find out how much you need and how often you should reapply."

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 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 "My armpit sweat was absolutely disrespectful. I would sweat for absolutely no reason, laying in bed, talking to friends, walking, living, breathing. It was a nightmare. I finally decided that enough is enough, there must be something out there besides antiperspirant. My doctor prescribed Hypercare, and it has compelled me to share my experience. The first application did tingle, but I was pretty hammered, so I didn't mind. The next day was absolutely amazing. I purposely wore a bright pink shirt (all real sweaters' nightmare, constantly wiping, fanning your shirt, trying to dry the wet stains), and I didn't sweat one bit. Great product, definitely 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 "I've always had a problem with my underarms getting soaked for no reason. It could be freezing, and I would still be wet. There was no smell, just the wetness. As a high school student, I always tried to cover it up with dark clothes and baggy shirts. I've been using Hypercare for about a week, and it's amazing! I've been completely dry since the first use. However, the first two uses made my arms burn really badly. They were really sensitive to the touch for the next two days. I just applied it again for the third time this week, and it is just a small tingling feeling. At first, it may burn, but if you're like me, it was worth it! Great product!"
