Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I have really enjoyed the control over my excessive underarm sweating that Drysol has given me. I use it about twice a week. Occasionally, it stings so bad I have to wash it off before the night is finished. The wetness control far outweighs the stinging sensation. No more embarrassing nervous moments."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical 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!"

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "Amazing! Used to sweat so badly underarms! It was so embarrassing to have sweat stains when I was barely doing anything. One night of using this and I instantly did not sweat the next day! And you only have to use it once or twice a week after you stop sweating. Tried everything, and this truly works! Stings pretty bad the first time, but thought it was well worth it. Did not feel a thing after the first time, though!"

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical 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."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "Okay, I decided I wanted to review this because this is the first product I have ever come across that actually works for me. For background, I started to sweat on an extreme level when I was around 12. It was so bad to the point I would be sitting in class with a sweatshirt on, and I would feel my sweat trickle down my arms. My armpits and clothes were drenched all day in my sweat, and it’s not like I had an issue with body odor, it’s just I always felt a little musty being so sweaty. I searched on TikTok first because that’s my source of info, and I found Certain Dri, and NGL, I was a little skeptical about it because I’ve tried anything and everything, but I decided to just give it a chance considering it was really affordable. The first time I applied it, it stung like crazy, but I went to sleep and went to school, and POOF, I had no sweat at all. I haven’t tried wearing gray yet, but I soon will."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical 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!"

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 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 "I've been using Drysol recently, and it works fantastic. I noticed that I would sweat a lot before I started using the product, and I was really embarrassed! Now I put on Drysol every other day during the week and then not at all on the weekends. It works SO well. The first time stings a lot, and it may prevent you from continuing usage, but don't give up! Soon you won't feel a thing when you apply it! The only thing I don't like about it is that the skin in my armpits is darker, and I don't like the way it looks, but it's worth it if it means no sweating!"

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I’ve been using the product for months now, and I woke up one morning with extremely red underarms, along with excruciating burning/stinging pain. I did see great results, but after that one incident, I’ve never gone back."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "Completely amazing. This product really works if you're like me, really worried about going out because of excessive sweating. This product is for you. I only used this once, and the next day it stung, but I was completely dry, not a single drop of sweat. So the pros far outweigh the cons. The pain and the cost are worth the payoff. Would recommend this to anyone. I am using extra strength, there is mild pain, but it works for me. There's also a mild version. Give it a try."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "Absolutely felt better in years. I have never used any medication prior to this, so I was absolutely skeptical about my issue. This morning, I waited and waited for that steady drip down my armpit, and it never came, and it was only the first day I used it! I was absolutely ecstatic. Now, I can wear clingy shirts and cute tops without ever worrying about there being a nasty stain or worse, having someone see the sweat. By the way, the stinging are only small side effects. Nevertheless, no pain, no gain."

For Hyperhidrosis "This is truly an amazing product. I sweat when I'm cold and have always avoided long sleeve tops and light colors. I'm 29 years of age and would recommend this product. I'm so thankful that a friend had recommended this to me. I have found that it does not sting, I don't feel anything. Within the next day, I could tell that my clothes were dry all day, and I felt more confident."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "So, the night before I used Hypercare, I came onto this site and looked at user reviews, since I was reluctant to use it at first because I was worried it wouldn't work and I'd have bad BO all day at school. I think the user reviews helped my unsureness because that's what mattered most to me; how it worked for the everyday person. I put it on last night, and it stung and itched (I'm on the second night, and the itch is still there), but the next day I barely sweat. I sweat a little at lunch (but since it's the first day, it's not fully effective), but that was it! Hypercare is a dream come true. No longer do I have to live with the embarrassment of sweating."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I've been using Hypercare for a little over a year, and it works great if I use it every night. Unfortunately, it does sting a lot. I've found that using Ultrabalm from Lush Cosmetics definitely brings down the stinging quite a bit, so I'd recommend that to anybody who has the same problem!"

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "For some reason, the stinging only happens to me when I use it at night. To avoid the stinging, I now use it in the morning after I shower and towel off. The day I use it, I don't wear clothes that I worry about staining. Drysol has worked fantastically for years under my arms. I now only have to use it about once a week. Unfortunately, no matter how I use it on my feet, it hasn't helped them."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "This product is amazing. Ever since I can remember, I have been sweating profusely under my arms. I only wear black tops to try to hide the wetness, so I never enjoy wearing different colors. I used to go shopping and look at all the different color clothing and felt so bad I could not wear them. I had to move on to something that would hide the wetness. At the age of 47, I went to my family doctor, and I was sweating so bad I just came out and asked if there was something that could help me. I was given Hypercare and tried it that night, and it burned and stung, but the next day I did not sweat under my arms. I kept touching under my arms because I could not believe I was dry. I have been using it for several weeks now, and I still burn and sting."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I would get dressed in the morning, and by the time I was heading out the door to go to school or work, I'd have to change my shirt because of the sweat that was dripping from my armpits. I just became accustomed to bringing a sweater everywhere and wearing loose-fitting clothes. I started using this medication, and the next day (which happened to be a 95-degree day), I was so surprised/happy to have no sweat running down my arms. The first night I used it, I applied it to my armpits that had been shaved in the morning, it stung/itched, but I stuck it out. I now apply it every other day and just shave my armpits every other day. It doesn't itch/sting at all. I recommend this to everyone."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I'm 17 and I have suffered from excessive underarm sweating for many years. Whenever I would get ready for school, I'd have to determine if the sweat would be noticeable on my top. Black tops and layering were the easiest options, but I was jealous of the people who could wear anything. At one school dance, I wore a strapless pink dress, and the sweat marks were visible in all the pictures. Completely mortifying. I tried pretty much every deodorant out there. Clinical strength, all different brands, but nothing was effective (some made me even sweat more). Hypercare has been a huge help in my life. I usually have the itching/stinging/burning feeling when I am trying to go to sleep, but honestly, it's worth it because it truly works."

For Hyperhidrosis "I never comment on anything whatsoever on the internet, but I just feel like I have the obligation to tell people who are doing their research and considering trying this product to do so. If you have hyperhidrosis, give aluminum chloride hexahydrate a shot, it might change your life. Although my case isn't as severe as others', it was still serious enough for me to feel uncomfortable all the time, and that's no way for anyone to live. I used it for the first time exactly one year ago, and the little bottle lasted until this day. I used it maybe ten times or so and completely stopped sweating under my armpits. Try to use the minimum effective amount and never after showering or shaving, always at night before bedtime. It stings and burns before you wash it out, but that's a price I'm more than willing to pay. Cheers."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical "I love Hypercare! I used all different kinds of deodorant to think of, and nothing worked until one day I finally brought it up to my doctor and had me try this, and since I've been sold! Even though my health insurance covers it and the co-pay is only $5, and Hypercare lasts 6 months for me, and it's a tiny little bottle too! Like everyone else says, the first time it's applied, it stings and you will have to scratch, you get used to it, and that's totally tolerable for not sweating at all."

Aluminum chloride hexahydrate topical for Hyperhidrosis "I am 16 years old and have been sweating like crazy since I started middle school. I always had to wear jackets and loose-fitting shirts to hide my sweat stains. I was embarrassed to tell my mom, but I had enough. I talked to my mom about it and she told me that I should mention it to my doctor on the next visit, which was luckily the next day. My doctor gave me Hypercare. I am on day 4 and it has helped a lot. The little 'dab-o-meter' that came with it doesn't work, so I have to dab my finger in it and apply it to my underarms. The first day it burned a little and stung, but nothing too much. But on the 3rd day, it was hard to fall asleep, it was so itchy I couldn't take it, but I managed. Hypercare, so far, has done wonders for me."
