For Hyperhidrosis "A real life changer. I've had hyperhidrosis since high school (now 25), and I was always hiding in dark clothes to hide the stains. It does burn and itch when I put it on, but I'd take that over the excessive sweating anyway. Pros definitely outweigh the cons!"

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 "I am 19 years old, and I have been so embarrassed by my excessive underarm sweat for as long as I can remember. The worst was when I realized that I would sweat more from my underarms than the guys I hung out with. I tried every 'prescription strength' and 'clinical strength' over-the-counter product that I could find (I even tried men's clinical strength antiperspirant/deodorant), and nothing gave me relief. Finally, I talked to my doctor, and she mentioned Drysol. I have very sensitive skin, and when I had to use it for the first 2-3 days in a row, I had excessive itching and burning, and a rash, but I toughed it out, and now I no longer have the burning or rash. I have been using the product for 2 weeks now, and I couldn't be happier!"

For Hyperhidrosis "This is the best solution to underarm sweating. I did experience one problem, a little burning under my left arm. After I washed the Drysol off of my left arm and applied some irritation ointment, and then the Drysol, everything was great. I have been dry all day today, and I have only used Drysol for 1 night. I'm so loving this. I can't wait to go to Miami, I can wear any shirt or blouse I want. I'm so hyped, I give this medication two thumbs up."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have tried every antiperspirant deodorant out there, and nothing seemed to work. I would use like 20 swipes and still be sweating in 5 minutes. Whether it was heat, activity, or nervousness, I would have huge rings under my arms. Finally, I tried Hypercare the other night, and I don't know why I haven't used it before. The next day, I saw immediate results. I have been using it for 5 days now, it itches and burns a little, but definitely worth 15 minutes of pain for no sweat marks. I would recommend this to anyone with sweating problems."

For Hyperhidrosis "I've been dealing with hyperhidrosis since the beginning of high school, and it really became an issue when I began college. It was always awful feeling embarrassed and insecure 24/7 (especially because it was so out of my control). People started to not want to guard me in basketball anymore, my ex-girlfriend would make me feel bad, saying she wanted a boyfriend who could actually put his arm around her, etc. But finally, I stopped wallowing in my own sorrow and talked to a doctor - he prescribed Hypercare, and it CHANGED my life. Don't let your hyperhidrosis beat you because with Hypercare, you can beat it. PS - The complaints about the itching and burning sensations are completely valid, but I'm willing to cope when the payoff for a normal life again."

For Hyperhidrosis "This product is a godsend. Minor burning sensation after applying and in the morning until I shower, but you have to weigh the positives with the negatives. I used to be drenched under my armpits, but now I can go a full 8+ hour shift without even noticing any sweat."

For Hyperhidrosis "I am so thankful for Hypercare! It has changed my life. I was dealing with the sweating from 6th grade, I am now a freshman. I finally told my mom why I would not wear cute clothes. It helped right away. Now I don't stay up at night sobbing. But I have no clue how to stop the burning because it is almost unbearable. But I will stick with it because I am tired of being bullied for it."

For Hyperhidrosis "This stuff really does work. My right underarm would sweat almost instantly and would leave the biggest stain. Since using Drysol, that has stopped. The only downside is how badly it burns. It burns and itches so badly when you first apply it, but the results are so good that the temporary burn is almost worth it."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have had extreme underarm sweating since I was about 13. I was too embarrassed to go to a doctor about this problem. I used every deodorant and antiperspirant available, nothing worked. I would sit and do absolutely nothing and have my underarms soaked with huge pit stains. I thought there was no cure. I recently went to my doctor because I'm now 21 and married and don't want to deal with this anymore. I got prescribed Drysol, and let me tell you, I was really skeptical. I put it on at night, and it did burn and itch, but nothing horrible I couldn't stand. The next morning I went to work and wore a tight colored shirt, and no sweat, not even a drop. I almost cried, I was so happy. It really works! Try this if you haven't already!"

For Hyperhidrosis "Drysol works! My dermatologist recommended it to me as a last resort before getting Botox shots. I was hesitant because I've tried Driclor, Perspirex, and CertainDri, and they've lost their longevity in a matter of days and didn't work for me, but Drysol seems to prove different. It doesn't really burn much and dries fast, and it keeps me dry with every application I've used, and so far, almost a month of using it, and it's still working wonders! I feel all the other hyperhidrosis antiperspirants I've used in the past can't even compete because they're complete knockoffs compared to Drysol! I'm so happy I was prescribed this! I highly recommend it!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I have spent over a decade sweating through everything, ruining every shirt and sweater I bought. My coworkers even know me as the sweaty one, applying deodorant throughout the day (even though, let’s be honest, I’d sweat the second I’d stop rolling it on). A few weeks ago, my supervisor told me she had a similar problem and used some prescription med before bedtime 15 years ago and it changed her life. She wasn’t sure if they still had it available, but hey, worth a shot, right? I spoke with my Dr., and he prescribed Drysol. Last night was my first application. I read the instructions thoroughly. It was pretty itchy, but not unbearable. IT'S A MIRACLE! I didn’t sweat at all today! I just applied my second application, and oh my god, guys, it burns. It’s starting to lessen, but wow, this stuff stings! I definitely won’t apply tomorrow and will see how long I can go in between. But so far, I’m amazed!"

For Hyperhidrosis "This product changed my life. It works. No doubt. I had suffered from excessive sweating on my armpits since I was 11. I thought I was cursed and would have to deal with this my entire life. It really had a huge impact on my life because I was always limited on the shirts I had to wear. I could only wear loose black or white shirts. If not, I had to wear a black cardigan over everything I wore! Yes, that's how bad it was until I got prescribed Hypercare when I mentioned it at a doctor's appointment. This had really changed my life. This product worked the very next day! I was truly amazed. THANK YOU HYPERCARE! P.S. Don't use this product when you have recently shaved, or else it will burn, and you won't be able to sleep all night."

For Hyperhidrosis "I'm 14 years old and have been suffering from underarm sweat since I was 9. I hated going shopping and buying shirts because I couldn't wear any light colors, only black. As I got older, it got worse, and I didn't really like talking to other people, and in class, I wouldn't raise my hand. My mom decided to take me to my doctor, and he told me about Hypercare. The first night I tried it, it itched and burned, but the next day I didn't sweat! I was happy and thanked my doctor. Good thing they invented this product, and now that I'm going to high school, I can socialize with a lot of people without being afraid. Yay!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I've had hyperhidrosis since middle school. It was my armpits. They sweat something awful. It could've been 3 degrees outside, and I looked like I just ran a 20-mile marathon. I was prescribed Drysol and didn't read the directions, so I just went home and put it on. It made my armpits extremely itchy and red, it also burned. So I figured it doesn't work... It sat on a shelf for years while I struggled with hyperhidrosis. Then one day, I decided to try it out again and got a new prescription for it. I followed the directions and didn't shave before use and put it on before I went to bed. I also didn't wear deodorant the following day. I stopped sweating, it was a miracle. I was mad at myself that I had the cure sitting right there the whole time."

For Hyperhidrosis "I've been using Drysol for about a year and a half now and got my 2nd refill about a month ago. With my first bottle, there were no complications. The product rolled on nicely, and I didn't sweat at all. With my 2nd bottle, not the same results. The product has caused severe burning and irritation under my arms, and nothing I do stops it. Even using cold water to close the pores."

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 have had a problem with underarm sweat for years now. My shirts get drenched. It's so embarrassing. I have tried every over-the-counter clinical strength, and nothing works. I even asked my doctor about it, and she declined giving me a prescription strength, saying that they don't work! She wanted to send me to a dermatologist right away for laser treatments or Botox. I didn't want to do that. So I kept suffering. Until last week, I did an internet search on sweaty underarms, and I found Drysol. It arrived this weekend, I have used it 3 nights now, and I am totally dry! It does burn and itch some at night, but that is totally fine with me! Because I feel like I have a new lease on life! It's a life changer for me. Drysol rocks!!!"

For Hyperhidrosis "So far, so good! It’s been 3 whole days since I’ve sweat under my armpits. I tried Carpe, and it burned, not to mention it didn’t work. But I have a really good man that makes me nervous, and I sweat so badly when he’s around, it’s embarrassing."

For Hyperhidrosis "I just started using this medicine, and I'm so happy. I'm a 23-year-old Black lady, and I can't tell you how much this has changed my life. In social and religious settings. It brings me to tears to think of all the years I didn't use this. I, unlike most of you, still wore colored shirts. But I would have to deal with comments and stares. I recommend this medicine for anyone. Like everyone else, I had the burning and itching, but when you've been living with this horrible self-esteem buster, who cares? I'm so happy for all my fellow 'sweaters' who found this product."

For Hyperhidrosis "This has done amazing things for me! I've been using it for four days now, and it's already helping when it says that full effects wouldn't take place until a week. I'm just giving you a heads-up that it burns REALLY BAD. I'm burning right now, actually. I think it's completely worth it, though. I recommend this."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have suffered from excessive underarm sweating since I can remember, probably around 13 or 14 (23 now), and it was always something I just dealt with. I would wear sweaters or tank tops, but never T-shirts. Even with heavy sweat shirts or cardigans, though, you could always see sweat marks under my arms. I finally tried Hypercare, and I've been using it for only 3 days now, and no sweat! Okay, a little moisture here and there, but nothing like before. I can wear T-shirts, and even more importantly, I am not constantly uncomfortable. It really does work. The only reason I did not give it a 10 was because I haven't been using it very long. I hope it continues to work this well. I personally did not experience the burning and itching most people do."

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 "Amazing product. I've only been using it for two days now, but already I'm hardly sweating at all under my arms anymore. Yes, it burns, but it's so worth it. If it continues to work for me, then this is literally a life-changing product."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have been struggling with excessive underarm sweat since I hit puberty. I had tried literally everything, and nothing even slightly helped. One day, I was at the drugstore and spotted Drysol. I was a bit reluctant about the price, but my desperation decided to give it a shot. Just after a few nights of using the product, I saw results. Using Drysol has literally been the best decision of my life. I am no longer anxious and embarrassed about my underarms and can wear anything I'd like!!! Although it did make it hard to sleep at night due to the itchiness and slight burning, I say it's totally worth it, and eventually, I got used to it, and it wasn't so bad. Definitely recommend!!!"
