For Hyperhidrosis "You rarely hear about hyperhidrosis being anywhere but in the armpits, so it took me a long time to discover Drysol, as I have suffered with excessive facial, neck, scalp, upper chest, and armpit sweating for almost 20 years, and it's becoming worse the older I get. Drysol is a lifesaver, as my sweating has gotten so bad I don't want to leave the house most days. I have only been using it for 4 days, but I have almost stopped sweating altogether. It does sting a little when applied, but applying it with a tissue has helped reduce the stinging as you use less."

For Hyperhidrosis "I used Certain Dri and it was wonderful! I had finally found something that actually worked, even if I wore a sleeveless tank or shirt in the summer. Although I also got the very itchy, burning rash. Terrible rash, and it worked so well I continued to use it. The rash got so bad after a while, I began to notice that it had taken the color and pigmentation from my underarm in the entire area that I applied it. It is now two years later after discontinuing use, and I still have no pigment under my arms in that area. It looks like I was burned and have huge scars under my arms with no color. I am very tan as I have American Indian in my family background, and it looks horrible. I am embarrassed to wear a bathing suit now or sleeveless shirts at all! I am afraid, being it is now two years later and is still the same, it is permanent. :( I have gone back to Mitchum unscented roll-on as I cannot stand the powder smell. It works well but not as good."

For Hyperhidrosis "This works! It may burn a little in 1st application, but it’s worth it. I am no longer embarrassed having soaking wet hair from nerves and in situations where sweating would be odd. After 2-3 doses, you’ll be good for at least 6 months."

For Hyperhidrosis "Certain Dri has overall helped me with my self-esteem. I'm sure many of you understand that part, as the excessive sweating can totally interfere with normal day-to-day functioning. I bought the prescription strength, I apply it at night, and it helps me get through the day with less of an embarrassed feel. I've had no reactions to the deodorant, and that's a plus because I have sensitive skin."

For Hyperhidrosis "Literally a life-changing product... I've been using it for 3 days, and I'm already 100% satisfied. I tried other products out there, but continued to sweat (armpits) even in the wintertime. 5 minutes out the door and the sweat would go through my shirt, within about an hour, the sweat would go through my entire suit. Was thinking about getting surgery or Botox injections, but somehow stumbled upon a site where I saw Drysol reviews and became cautiously optimistic from the customer reviews that this was my solution. So happy to finally get rid of this terrible condition."

For Hyperhidrosis "Ever since high school, I had suffered greatly from hyperhidrosis, which caused me severe anxiety and discomfort. It wasn't until a friend of mine recommended Drysol at the age of 34 that I finally found a product that helped me. After just one use, I noticed a huge difference, and for the very first time in my life, I was able to go through my day without being constantly paranoid about my armpits. I can now wear whatever I want, no matter the color or fabric, and I have absolutely no issue with excessive sweating. I can't begin to explain how freeing it has been on my anxiety. Although the medication can be extremely itchy during application, it is a small price to pay for this type of relief. I purchased Drysol at a pharmacy, without a prescription, for $26 and have only needed to use it a few times over the past two years. So, in my opinion, the cost is extremely low and affordable and very much worth it. I think this bottle will last me a lifetime."

For Hyperhidrosis "It's a miracle. Hypercare saved my life. I had been suffering from smelly armpits all my life to the point that I used to have (all the time) baby wipes and a deodorant in my purse to refresh my underarms. I don't need to do that anymore, thanks to Hypercare. I can deal with the burning and/or itching. I'm 35 years old, and for the first time in twenty-something years, I found something that works. AND WHEN I SAY IT WORKS, I MEAN IT WORKS."

For Hyperhidrosis "This works amazingly. I've had a problem with sweating for so long, and this was a lifesaver for me. However, if you get it prescribed by a doctor, I recommend that you test how often you put it on yourself. I recently had Hypercare, which, according to my pharmacist, had the same exact ingredients as Drysol, so my doctor told me how much to put on a week, etc. But a horrible burning and redness happened in my armpit, and a lump came about from using it too often. So seriously use this sparingly and test it yourself how often to use it. Everyone is different, so you may only need to use it a couple times a month or week, etc.! Just a warning for new users!"

For Hyperhidrosis "Although Drysol does work, it is also very painful for me. When I apply, and even hours after, I have pain in my armpits. They are completely bumpy with red rashes, and the burning is the worst part. The morning after I apply it, the redness dies down, and so does the pain. The sweating does go away, and this product would be perfect without the horrible side effects it gives me! Overall, I feel that the product is not worth the pain I go through when and after applying."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have been using Drysol for close to 16 years now... I love it. My story is very similar to several I have read on this site. I had a terrible problem with underarm sweat - to the point of putting washcloths under my arms. It was so bad I could not wear sweaters in the winter because I would soak them. When I started using Drysol, I had the typical itching and burning for a few weeks. The more I have used it, the less the problem. Now, I only itch if I get too far out from under my armpit and put the solution on skin not used to it. When I first started using Drysol, I was an every-other-day user. Now, in the winter, I can go 6 to 8 days. In the summer, I go 3 to 4 days - I live in Atlanta, GA, and we reached 98 yesterday."

For Hyperhidrosis "I slowly noticed I would be sweating even when I was laying down doing nothing. I knew something was up when I was freezing cold but sweating like a pig. Only my underarms. It got so bad I had to start putting paper towels in my shirts, otherwise, my shirt would be soaked, and I’d have to change it. Let’s just say I was miserable. I didn’t think there was a cure for it. I basically accepted it. Then my best friend told me her husband has hyperhidrosis. So I did my research and went to see the doc. Turns out that’s what I have. She prescribed me Drysol. I didn’t think it would work. I tried all OTC ones. Nothing worked. I am amazed with this. The first night I tried it, I woke up the next day with no sweat. DRY! I was so happy. The only downfall is the itching and burning. I only had some slight redness. This is my second night I’ve done it. So I’m going to take a break and see how long I can go. But so far, it’s been a miracle. And I feel so much happier. Highly recommend."

For Hyperhidrosis "I had a huge problem with underarm sweating. I would sweat and have visible wetness under my shirt 5 minutes after putting it on. This product has changed my life. I feel completely dry now. I can wear different colors and not have to worry about wetness. I used to actually switch out napkins under my arms to stop the sweating. Once your body gets used to this product, you only have to apply it once a month or so (sometimes even less, like every 2 months in my experience). This product is like a wonder product."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have been suffering from hyperhidrosis for 15 years. My scalp would literally sweat like a broken faucet. I would constantly have to wipe the perspiration off my head every few seconds. It was so embarrassing! A pharmacist recommended Drysol, and after the first application, I was sweat-free. I couldn't believe it! I have a new lease on life. I can finally not have to carry napkins around and be worried about sweating in front of the public. If you suffer from severe sweating of the scalp, please, I repeat, please give Drysol a try-you won't be sorry. I give this product a rating of an eleven out of ten!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I've been using this product for only 3 weeks, but I strongly recommend it! I used it 3 days in a row at first. Before I went to bed, I applied it on my underarms, let it dry, threw on a t-shirt, and went to bed. Like some of you, I also experienced some burning/itching sensation. The first day, it was very mild, but the third day it was bad but not unbearable. After that, I'm just applying it 2x a week. It's a life changer. Before, I couldn't even wear the tops I wanted, it was embarrassing walking around with those huge sweat stains on my underarms. But now, I can wear what I please. There's no need to put up with that anymore."

For Hyperhidrosis "This stuff has been a complete lifesaver for me. I have severe craniofacial hyperhidrosis, and it's absolute hell going to work and having to hide my face every time I have a sweating episode. I have to step out several times just to splash water on my face or run cold water over my wrists. Drysol is a game-changer and is the only thing that's worked for me. It only took about 3 days of application to fully work."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have had sweaty armpits for years! Tried the napkin trick, black tops, not lifting my arms, avoiding people, various deodorants, and not shaving. Wasn't living freely! This stuff works! Doctor prescribed it. I would pay 100.00 per bottle if that's what it took to get it. Don't get excited when you put it on, thinking the more you put on, the less you will sweat. This will cause severe itching. A little bit goes a long way. The next morning - no sweat. This product has given me my social life back. Love it."

For Hyperhidrosis "I've had severe underarm sweating since puberty. It was so embarrassing and got worse with time. I used Drysol for the first time yesterday after realizing I truly needed a prescription antiperspirant, and WOW! I couldn't be happier. The FIRST DAY I wore a shirt in my most feared color (gray) and had NO sweat all day. I couldn't believe how well it worked! I admit to discomfort upon application, but it goes away shortly and is well, well worth it. I'll be a lifetime user. Incredible."

For Hyperhidrosis "This product is a lifesaver. I tried almost everything before I found this, and I was almost giving up. Certain Dri really works. My armpits used to be so wet all the time, and it was so embarrassing, and it stinks really, really bad. I even tried Secret Clinical Strength, and that was a waste of money, it made me sweat even more. I only use it twice a week, and the whole week I have dry armpits, and I smell good all day, even with heavy activities. Thank you, Certain Dri. I only wish I discovered this product sooner."

For Hyperhidrosis "This stuff is amazing! Everyone in the world who suffers from hyperhidrosis should use this product! I started sweating excessively in the 10th grade, and I tried every antiperspirant on the market (and a substantial amount of home remedies), and absolutely NOTHING worked. In the spring of my senior year, I decided to see a doctor about it. He prescribed Drysol, and I started using it that night. It took a few days to work, and it itched and burned pretty badly, but now I'm in college, and I never have to worry about what to wear or sitting through a lecture. Bone dry every day! Drysol rocks!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I've always sweat a lot, and it's super embarrassing. I couldn't wear light-colored shirts because I'd have giant pit stains, and after a few wears, the shirts would become stained yellow and were basically ruined. It was awful, and I was so self-conscious all the time. I've tried every brand of extra strength antiperspirants, and though some work better than others, none worked well enough for me. This works wonders for me. I don't sweat anymore! Something I never thought I'd be able to say. Drysol has been a total life-changer for me, and now I'm happy to buy clothing again! I couldn't recommend this product enough. It's wonderful!"

For Hyperhidrosis "Struggled considerably with excessive sweating starting at age 14. A close friend told me in college about how well Rx Drysol had worked for her, so I talked with my doctor. Long story short: after using Drysol exactly as prescribed during my 20s and 30s, my underarm sweating was 100% eradicated. Was able to switch to over-the-counter antiperspirants/deodorants for decades. Only now, pushing sixtysomething, did I need to request another Rx for Drysol after noticing some perspiration begin. After only a few applications, that problem too was solved! Drysol = an unforgettable quality-of-life improvement! Would 1,000% recommend it to anyone struggling with excessive sweating. PS. Cardinal Rule: APPLY DRYSOL SPARINGLY!!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I finally was able to use Drysol after years of dealing with excessive sweating. The first night I used it, I felt very mild itching about 40 minutes after application. The next day, I didn’t sweat at all! The following night, I applied the same amount to my underarms and dealt with EXTREME burning and a red rash that lasted hours. Drysol definitely works, but be careful if you have any skin sensitivities or don’t want to deal with the excruciating pain :("

For Hyperhidrosis "I could give this product a 20 rating, but it only goes up to 10. That's how much I loved it. In a professional setting, you don't want to smell funky or wear a jacket all day because of sweat. That was me for the past several years. I mentioned it to my OBGYN, and she asked me to try this, and I did. Boy, was I surprised. I don't care about the itchiness that comes with using it. To me, that means it's working its magic (lol). The best part is that I can wear my shirts, and when I take them off, they're not sweat stained. Whoever made Hypercare, please keep making more great products like these."

For Hyperhidrosis "I've always had a problem with my underarms getting soaked for no reason. It could be freezing, and I would still be wet. There was no smell, just the wetness. As a high school student, I always tried to cover it up with dark clothes and baggy shirts. I've been using Hypercare for about a week, and it's amazing! I've been completely dry since the first use. However, the first two uses made my arms burn really badly. They were really sensitive to the touch for the next two days. I just applied it again for the third time this week, and it is just a small tingling feeling. At first, it may burn, but if you're like me, it was worth it! Great product!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I have excessive underarm sweating, and I thought I would give Drysol a go, which is an over-the-counter medicine here in Canada. I was hoping that it would work, and I could wear clothes instead of putting on jackets in the summer. On my first application, I dried my armpits and slowly applied it around my armpit and only noticed a little tingling sensation at first. During the night, it itched a little bit, but nothing too bad. The next day, I noticed I was still sweating, so I thought it would work the next day. On the 3rd night I applied it, my armpit started to burn really badly. It burned to the point where I couldn't sleep all night, and I was still sweating like before."
