For Hyperhidrosis "I had looked up on Google what the best deodorant is for excessive sweating in women. It recommended Certain Dri, and it definitely works. It totally cuts the body odor smell when I exercise. I was so happy I found something. However, my armpits itch badly and burn. I know you’re not supposed to use it after shaving, so I make sure I shave 12 hours before using deodorant. So kind of bummed."

For Hyperhidrosis "Have been hiding excessive sweating for about 2 years now. Didn't sweat at all after the first application of Drysol! It did tingle/itch for about 15 minutes, but definitely nothing to stop using it for! On day 3 and haven't had a single drop of perspiration and have not had to use another deodorant (although I think I might get one to dab on in the mornings just to make me feel better). BEST PRODUCT EVER."

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 just want to say that this product has completely changed my life. I used to wake up to sweaty armpits, and I would worry about lifting up my arms all day long, every day. I would wear jackets to cover up the sweating and try to wear white shirts to try and help. Not anymore. I am 100% satisfied with its results. The only negative effect was just a little tingling and itching, but wow, was it worth it. I no longer have to worry about my armpits! Definitely worth every penny."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have suffered for years with excessive sweating in my groin area when sitting. I could drive to lunch, and by the time I arrived, I had sweat marks on my pants. It was always so embarrassing. I happened to be at my dermatologist's office for another issue and casually brought it up, thinking maybe Botox was an option. My doctor recommended Drysol and said to try it out first, and if it did not work, we would try a pill. The first night I used it, I did notice the burning/itchy feeling, but it wasn't anything excruciating. After the first use, I was relieved that I did not have any sweat the day after. I now use it once or twice weekly, and I am still amazed that I allowed myself to suffer for so many years and there was a cure the whole time. I would advise not to use it directly after shaving or waxing."

For Hyperhidrosis "Amazing product. It irritates my skin and causes itchiness. However, I learned to apply only 3 hits under each armpit and never to use it after shower, but rather wait at least an hour. Also, use it at most every other day and not every day."

For Hyperhidrosis "Living in Phoenix, I rarely wear blouses with sleeves - most days it is a tank top with a jacket thrown over for the office. So, sweating in the pits is not an option unless I get my jackets dry cleaned after every use. I have been using Certain Dri roll-on after trying various other 'clinical strength' antiperspirants for a few years now. While it has always itched when I apply the roll-on version at bedtime, the solid version does not, but I noticed some dampness in my pits with the solid. So, I am sticking to roll-on - worth the mild itching for completely dry pits."

For Hyperhidrosis "I sweat horribly under my arms to a point where I can't wear certain color shirts due to the awful sweat stains I get. I was shocked at how dry my underarms were after using this the first time! I literally have no wetness when using this. The first couple of applications, my underarms were really itchy and had a little sting, but it got better after a couple of uses. I highly recommend this stuff!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I had a sympathectomy on my right side in 2001, and ever since, I have had excessive sweating on my left side. It got so bad I was literally folding paper towels and tucking them under my arm to soak it up. My shirts were always wet on the left side. After just a couple of nights using Drysol, I don't have wet shirts and no need for paper towels. It does burn and itch a little when I first apply it, and I get a kind of bruised feeling in my underarm, but nothing major or that I couldn't deal with. Huge improvement!"

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 "Cured perspiration problem. No sweat equals no odor. After about 3 weeks of using, I did get a red, itchy rash and stopped using. As soon as the rash healed, I used it again. So I use 3 weeks, then take a week's break. It's worth it!"

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 "This is a miracle product. I used to sweat through everything, work shirts, T-shirts, sweaters, you name it. I would have to take breaks throughout my day to dry my pits! I heard Drysol was good, and it didn't disappoint. I can now wear whatever I want whenever I want with only one application per week. Furthermore, it doesn't really itch or burn unless you massively overapply it. If you sweat a lot, just get it dealt with with this."

For Hyperhidrosis "Used this last night for the first time on hands, feet, and underarms. By the time I was done applying it and got into bed, the plastic wrap around my hands and feet had little droplets of moisture inside, and I had sweated big circles under the arms of my t-shirt. I was very discouraged! I felt no burning, stinging, or itching whatsoever. Woke up, washed it all off, and so far, I am sweating still, but only about half of normal. Pretty good product - hope it gets better!"

For Hyperhidrosis "This stuff has done so much for my confidence. I used to sweat through everything I wore, so I limited myself to certain colors and fabrics, but now, my armpits don't sweat at all. It will likely make your skin itch the night you apply it, but it's mild. Obviously, it's a fairly harsh thing to put on your body, and people can be allergic, so don't keep using it if it causes anything other than itching."

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."

For Hyperhidrosis "I used to sweat a lot before using Drysol. I always wore black and was afraid to wear any colors. Even after washing my clothes, the smell of sweat would not go away. I no longer sweat as long as I apply it a couple of times in the month now. Yes, it does irritate your skin to the point where you can't sleep at night, but it is worth it to me. I now wear anything I want. I don't have sweaty or smelly armpits. And I noticed that after a while it irritates you less and less. I definitely recommend this product!"

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 "It has been effective for me so long as I keep my showers from being excessively hot. I have historically sensitive skin, so it may affect me worse than others, but I do have some mild itching under my arms during hours 10-20ish after application. Small price to pay if your underarm sweat is as extreme as mine."

For Hyperhidrosis "In school and gym class, I would always sweat so much, and it was extremely embarrassing. In the slightest heat, I would sweat buckets even without any activity. This worked the day after applying, and I was simply amazed at how wonderful it works. Only downside is after you apply it, it itches, but itching makes the skin irritated, so you kinda have to grin and bear it."

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 "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."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have suffered from hyperhidrosis in the armpits for years. No deodorants have worked, ever. I could literally feel sweat dripping out of my arms. I was recently prescribed Drysol for the sweating, and it works! I have gone through 2 weeks of the treatment and have had zero sweating in my pits. I would recommend only using the product on the area of your choice 2-3 times a week. I usually do it before bed maybe every couple of days. I haven't had any pain or issues. The only thing I have had was a slight itch, but no pain at all. I wouldn't recommend using it daily. It is so nice to be able to go out and not have to worry about lifting my arms and having puddles on my shirt. Good luck!"
