For Hyperhidrosis "I have always had severe sweating under my arms. Whenever I use Certain Dri, I don’t sweat for days after just one use. I use sporadically, and I don’t sweat for at least a week at a time. I could never wear light gray before, now I can. It itches and burns, as bad as anything, though, after you put it on. I choose to endure the itchiness, my armpits look red sometimes and feel raw, but it’s alright, at least I won’t sweat. My sister always ensured me beauty is pain, so hey."

For Hyperhidrosis "I don’t sweat excessively, but have bad armpit odor. I have excellent hygiene, but the bad odor has always plagued me. I use Certain Dri, and it is powerful. The first time I tried it, I tried to wash it off; it burned so bad, even with just a tiny amount. I kept using it and have been for a year now. I have to put on more than recommended about once a week (about 7 swipes worth, covering my entire armpit area), and then the other times I just use 2-3 swipes. When I use it heavily, it makes my armpits pretty sore, even the next day. This stuff burns my armpits bad when I apply it, making it hard to fall asleep sometimes. It also makes them itch like crazy, but to me, it’s worth it. I used to use it every other night but had to bump back up to every night; once it makes my armpits burn really bad to where I can’t stand to do it another night in a row, I go back down to every other night. I do not wear deodorant with this; I only use this product."

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 "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 "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."

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 "Certain Dri works to a certain extent. I still sweat, and my armpit smells. Makes my armpits burn and itch like crazy, though."

For Hyperhidrosis "Absolutely amazing, completely stops sweating for days. Although I did notice, after about 3 weeks of use, it started to itch and burn and cause redness, but it is well worth it."

"Burning in armpits. Bad. I did this soon after a shower. Not using Certain Dri any longer."
