For Hyperhidrosis "I'm a female in my 20s and since I can remember, I have always struggled with excess, embarrassing sweating. This is the only product that has seemed to prevent my armpit stains entirely. But this product comes with a price. I do have sensitive skin, so I get a very abnormal severe rash when using Certain Dri. My armpits get a harsh red rash, and I have a hard time sleeping with it on because it says to apply at night. However, this rash is painful and itchy, so it is hard to relax and fall asleep, but in trade, you really will NOT sweat at all. I can finally wear white T-shirts without worrying about pit stains. I highly recommend NOT shaving your armpits before using at least 1-2 days because it makes them way more irritated and the rash can be worse. Also, the rash was noticeable to my friends because I was in a swimsuit, and they could notice it was bright red. Pick your battles between having an itchy, painful rash while sleeping or not sweating for 3-4 days. I only apply 2x a week between shaving my armpits."

For Hyperhidrosis "I was prescribed this by my doctor to deal with my excessive sweating under my armpits. After using it for a couple of times, I started experiencing itchy, reddish rashes under my arms. The rash didn't stop no matter how much I tried to heal it. I went to see my doctor, and she said it was an allergic reaction to the Hypercare and advised me to stop using it. She said I had dermatitis, which was the result of using Hypercare, and prescribed me a cream to cure the rash."

For Hyperhidrosis "Today is my first day trying Drysol. All I have to say is NEVER again!!! I wish I had read some of these reviews before I put it on. I was warned about the itching and slight burning, so I tried to wait it out a bit when I started to feel that. After an hour of my armpits being on absolute fire, I decided I needed to get it off immediately. I definitely have a chemical burn... or at least that’s what it feels like. I’m sitting here writing this as my arms are covered in red rashes and I’m trying to bear the pain. If you’re willing to endure chemical burns, go for it. But I don’t recommend it."

For Hyperhidrosis "So today, the second day I used Drysol. Wore a yellow tank top to a pop-up shop event, and halfway through the event, I looked down and saw bright red spots all over my shirt as if I had spilled fruit punch on me. I got home and noticed the red rings under my armpits. The only thing I put on was Drysol before leaving the house... At least it washed out, but it's making my sweat change the color of my shirt, that's no bueno!!!"

For Hyperhidrosis "Ever since middle school, I have suffered from hyperhidrosis since I was 12. My problem area was my armpits, and I was very self-conscious. Although this product has helped with the sweating, it doesn't always work but ALWAYS causes extreme pain, rashes, and itching. There were times when I would feel like crying because of the pain. The product isn't terrible and certainly works, but is NOT WORTH THE PAIN."
