Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I have been suffering from severe sweating since 6th grade. It wasn't just a situation of not being able to raise my arms-I had to wear black shirts every day, or the sweat stains would show. Even in the middle of winter, I would sweat. Finally, I asked my doctor for Hypercare (which I had heard about from a friend). I used it for the first time last night, and today was amazing. I wore a tight green shirt, and I didn't sweat all day. I did feel like I was sweating at points, but when I checked, there was no wetness. There was some burning when I put it on, but it was well worth it. This is an amazing product!"

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I've had hyperhidrosis for over 5 years now, on my hands, feet, and underarms. It was honestly so frustrating not being able to wear light t-shirts and growing completely petrified when someone offered to shake my hand. I couldn't even hold my boyfriend's hand! It was miserable. But Drysol is magic and has changed my life. For me, it isn't necessary to apply every night, or my skin burns pretty bad and gets a rash. So usually I will apply it 2 or 3 times a week, and I literally do not sweat one drop on my underarms. I completely recommend Drysol."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "So, in high school, over ten years ago, I started to sweat really badly under my arms. It was super embarrassing to go through high school with this issue. After trying over-the-counter products and home remedies, I gave up. So, my doctor at the time recommended Drysol. I used it for just a few weeks, and it worked so well. But then, after a few months, I noticed my armpits darkening. So, I stopped using it. Now, about 15 years later, I've tried so many things to lighten my armpits, and nothing works. This stuff did 100% cure my sweaty armpits, and I can now freely wear shirts without the sweat marks. But it burned me so badly that I have dark scars for life and still can't walk around freely with tank tops. I guess you can't win them all."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I started using Drysol a couple of days ago. I started crying with joy because it worked the very next day. Since I was 14, I haven't gone a day where I didn't have underarm sweat and just thought this was something I would have to live with forever. I even considered Botox until I found out that only lasts for a few months. I'm 29 now, and even though I've suffered for the majority of my life with worrying that someone will see my huge underarm sweat stains, I am now looking forward to a life of dry underarms. I feel like a normal person. It only burned/itched the first night, I'm thinking because I shaved that morning. I will take a little underarm stubble over being dry any day."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "This product does work. I used to sweat so bad it was not fun. I would never wear a white shirt because it would stain it, even my black shirts would get ruined because of deodorant, so I started buying bigger shirts so that they wouldn't touch my armpits. I could be freezing cold and still have sweat marks. So, a friend of mine told me to try this product. I put it off for a few months, then I just had enough, saw it in the drug store, and said, why not, let's give this a shot. I noticed a difference after 1 night, but did it for 3. The only complaint that I have with this product is how much it stings and burns. I try to make sure I don't shave my armpits the day I want to put it on, and I try to make them as clean and dry as possible. It's totally worth it."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "This stuff, Certain Dri, is AWESOME! I ordered it off Amazon because it was sold out at stores near me, and I was blown away by the results. I am a young woman who has suffered from sweaty armpits since puberty. I would sweat through shirts, sweatshirts, and sweat SO much at work. Any normal deodorant never worked for me, no matter what kind, but this is the first one that does. Now that I’m using this stuff, I do not sweat anymore, and it literally blows my mind. It burns soooo much, though, and leaves your armpits feeling like they just got extremely sunburnt, but I think it’s totally worth the pain."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "Drysol is amazing. I love it. It really burns at night under my arms, but it is worth it. Drysol has changed my life, that's why I gave it a nine, but the only problem is that it has not worked on my hands."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical 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."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I have been using this medication for 2 years now, and it has worked great. I had used it in the past when I was younger, but it was not effective, as I was not using it correctly. I then saw another dermatologist who gave me some tips for using it correctly, and ever since then, it has worked great. I do get the occasional itching and burning feeling, but I too think the benefit of using it outweighs the itching."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical 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!"

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "This works. Simple as that. One use and it works wonders. The only problem I've had was having bad irritation. Itching, burning, and quite painful, tbh. It works, though, if you can get through the pain."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical 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!"

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical 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!"

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical 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."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I used to sweat under the arms excessively. All my T-shirts had yellow stains. My doctor prescribed this once back in 2000. Yes, it burned somewhat, but it totally stopped the underarm perspiration. I haven't sweated under my arms much since about the end of 2000. I had the prescription renewed in June 2001, and that bottle is still half full, since I have totally stopped underarm perspiration, and I haven't had to use it in 11 years!"

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I have been using Drysol for 15 years. I have figured out the perfect process for using the product. If you aren't careful, you can apply Drysol in such a way that it will cause extreme burning sensations and rashes. Here's how to apply it properly: Men, carefully shave the center portion of your armpits to expose the bare skin. If you look closely, you'll be able to see the sweat gland areas of your armpits. Apply the product only to this area and not to the surrounding skin. Do this right before bed and sleep all night long with it on your armpits - should keep you dry for 3 to 4 weeks. Do this multiple nights in a row for a longer effect. My dad totally cured his hyperhidrosis by doing this every night for two weeks."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I have had excessive sweating in my underarms for as long as I can remember. I finally decided to do something about it. Before jumping to more invasive options, I was prescribed Drysol. My first application was horrible. My skin burned so bad, and I had a painful rash for days. I was scared to use it again. But I noticed even after one use, my sweating has decreased, which is life-changing. We'll see how it works long-term, but despite the pain I experienced, it may be worth it."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "Been suffering with hyperhidrosis ever since I hit puberty. It gets really bad when it’s cold or if my anxiety is acting up. I also take stimulant medication on top of it, so it makes everything 10x worse, sweat-wise. I use this about 2 to 3 times a week, and it’s done wonders. Doesn’t get rid of all my sweat, but gets rid of 50-70% of it, depending on the day. You NEED to use it correctly for it to work. Can’t use it after showering or shaving, and you need to let it completely dry. Never experience any burning whatsoever besides the first time I used it. If you use it too much on your skin or after shaving, it WILL get irritated and burn. Probably the best thing I’m gonna find without getting a prescription from a doctor."

For Hyperhidrosis "I sweat from my armpits real bad, not like body odor sweat, just seems like pure water (no odor), and I go through shirt after shirt. When I would go to work, I would have to bring 3 or 4 uniform shirts to change into throughout my 8-hour shift. And then I would think about it all day, just was an overall pain. I sweat so much it would drain my energy. I tried my prescription of aluminum chloride DRYSOL and never had a problem again. Only problem is it burns like a mother. I thought I was supposed to use it every night. Big mistake. I then was told after the first few nights you can start using it only once a week. Let's just say there is no more sweat and all I need is one shirt for my shift at work. Best prescription for sure, a 10 out of 10."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I really, really love Drysol!! I have had hyperhidrosis ever since I can remember. It got so bad I would always wear my sweatshirt in school, even in the summer!! I got sick of all this, so I talked to my mom, and she asked my doctor what was best for me. It was super effective! I could finally live my life without being self-conscious all the time. The only downside is the burning. It hurts bad and leaves my skin itchy. I have found that holding my arms up makes it less burny, but it's still pretty bad. I will probably use this for the rest of my life, as it is very effective!! 10/10 effectiveness, but 8/10 pain level for sure."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I have been using Hypercare for years now. I noticed people were saying it burned quite a bit. My doctor told me to take a wet wash cloth and get the affected area damp prior to using Hypercare, and it takes care of the burning. It really does work."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "My first night I applied Hypercare, and it burned beyond belief, but I stuck through it. The next morning, I decided to have a trial run, so I purposefully wore a light-colored shirt. To my amazement, there wasn't one drop of sweat and no sweat stains. I am truly impressed with Hypercare and have recommended it to a few friends that have the same embarrassing sweat problem that I do."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical 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."
