For Hyperhidrosis "I used to sweat so bad. Dripping sweat from my underarm to my back. Leaving embarrassing sweat stains. I could be freezing cold and sweat crazy. After the first use of Drysol, I saw results the next day, no longer had sweat stains. I’ve only used it 3 times now, and it’s been amazing. I used it 2 nights straight. Now doing every other night. But I do have a bad rash under my arm, which I was told was expected. It does burn and itch a little after application, but it goes away after an hour. APPLY AT NIGHT TIME BEFORE BED. When the sweat glands are working less. But I am in love with this product and have never been so confident."

For Hyperhidrosis "After 41 years, I was dx with hyperhidrosis. I went to see my dermatologist and was prescribed Drysol, and wow, has it done wonders! I now can go an entire day without sweaty feet and hands. Drysol has helped to increase my social skills, and even when anxious, it helps hold back the sweat! Thanks to my dermatologist and a HUGE SHOUT OUT TO THE CREATORS OF DRYSOL!!!!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I have had excessive underarm sweat ever since I was 14. I tried Drysol when I was in high school but didn't follow the directions properly, being young and dumb I just thought it didn't work. Years have gone by, and I have tried everything from underarm pads to every antiperspirant under the sun. When I seriously thought about getting Botox, I thought I would try Drysol one more time. I followed the directions to a T, and after one night of use, I didn't even have a drop of sweat the next day. I'm so impressed and wish I had tried it again a lot sooner. I recommend this to anyone who suffers from hyperhidrosis, it is a life changer. I was getting anxiety, not wanting to work in fear of someone seeing my sweat. I have never been so happy."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have to say that Drysol is a lifesaver. All of a sudden, about 4 years ago, I started sweating to the point where it was embarrassing to go out in public for fear that people would see pit stains. I went to my dermatologist, and he recommended this product. I started using it maybe a week ago, and within the first two uses, I was sweat-free! When I go to work out, I will be dripping wet everywhere, but my underarms are completely dry! Drysol is a lifesaver. I highly recommend."

For Hyperhidrosis "I have experienced excessive underarm sweating since my teens and have been so annoyed and embarrassed. Why didn't I check into this sooner? This product is amazing! I agree with other reviewers about the burning/tingling sensation. When I first started using it about a month ago, I followed the directions and used it for three consecutive nights. It burned, I won't lie. It kept me from getting a full night's sleep. BUT, the results were worth it! After just one application, it worked! The next day there was NO wetness. I now apply it just once a week, and it is still effective for me. Plus, the burning sensation has never occurred again. I do find it necessary to apply deodorant (not antiperspirant) in the morning."

For Hyperhidrosis "I’ve been using Drysol for a few months now, just like most of you guys here. I had super bad armpit sweating. So, so bad. I could only wear dark shirts and hoodies because the sweat would show through both, even in the winter. I had to throw shirts away from the sweat ruining the shirts. I first tried the lesser intense over-the-counter remedy, Certain Dri, which worked like a charm. That product is definitely good. It doesn’t make your pits itch after you’re done. But I asked my doctor what to do, and the first thing he recommends is Botox and getting the surgical way, but he said that you’d have to go back every so often to get it redone. But then he said Drysol worked, and I gave it a try, and I love it. It does itch, unfortunately, but if you can resist the urge, you’ll love the product. That is my only complaint. But I would recommend Drysol for anyone going through the same issue, especially in high school."

For Hyperhidrosis "Used to sweat constantly through my pits, applying Drysol at night before bed and about 95% of the sweat is stopped. Only reason it's not a 10 is because for some, the extreme itching can be a problem, but for me, the itching was mild and not so bad that I couldn't tolerate it. Itching went away about 15-20 minutes after it dried. Also, a tip: use a blow dryer with low heat on your pits to dry it faster because this stuff takes ages to dry by itself."

For Hyperhidrosis "I’ve had hyperhidrosis for the past 6-7 years. I used Drysol about 2-3 years ago, and although the first two weeks were filled with itchiness and red skin, I can say that Drysol has changed my life. I was actually able to wear a grey. Yes, GREY. Shirt to school with so much confidence. Now, I’m back to some pit stains and just got another refill about 2 weeks ago, and it has stopped. After a while, the itching goes away. This product has alcohol & aluminum chloride. It’s not meant for super sensitive skin. But most reviews I’ve seen, it’s been the same for me. From my experience, Drysol works."

For Hyperhidrosis "On July 4th weekend, I recommended Drysol to a very close friend. At first, he was extremely skeptical about using the product. Because he had tried everything under the sun, he felt it would just be a waste of time. But after one application, he was blown away by Drysol. His scalp was as dry as baby powder. For the first time in about twenty years, he doesn't have to carry those darn face cloths around and doesn't have to feel the utter humiliation that hyperhidrosis has plagued him with in the past. I am so thrilled for him! Since using the product, he literally hasn't stopped smiling. I rate the product 10 out of 10."

For Hyperhidrosis "I've been using Drysol for close to 6 years now. Prior, I used to sweat just sitting in my chair, and it made me extremely self-conscious. I tried every deodorant/antiperspirant on the market, and nothing helped. Finally, I went to my dermatologist, and he prescribed this. The first few times I used it, it was extremely itchy and red, but I would tough it out. I learned from experience not to shave before applying and to make sure I wear a T-shirt to bed, otherwise, the rubbing together may cause irritation. Over the years, my sweating has seriously reduced. I went from having to put Drysol on every couple of days to weeks, now I put it on MAYBE 3 times a year. Love it."

For Hyperhidrosis "At first, it was like a temporary quick fix. My hands would be dry, but when I got nervous, I would feel the tingling sensation in my hands like they always do before they sweat, and they sweat. I put it on every night, but it doesn't seem to work. Going to the doctor's today to take pills instead."

For Hyperhidrosis "I'm a university student who suffers from hyperhidrosis. I've had it for a few years, ever since puberty hit. It's always embarrassing having sweat stains, it always feels like someone is staring. I always keep my arms down once I notice they are there. I will never even raise my hand in class or reach the top of my locker, so I don't raise my arms. No other antiperspirant worked, and I'm too young for Botox. Certain Dry didn't work either. I tried this, went from doing it every other night to once or twice a week. It was itchy at first, but now nothing. But I was so happy I could not be embarrassed anymore. I could wear whatever I wanted and buy whatever. Though, I did notice some BO come back, so I used some natural deodorant along with it. Changed my life."

For Hyperhidrosis "I am not one to write reviews regularly, but I have to share my experience. Like most here, I suffer from hyperhidrosis and have struggled all my life buying just certain colors and fabrics because of all the armpit sweat. Okay, I got Drysol and just used it for the first time last night. After application, I dried with a hairdryer till it was white (dry). Yes, it burns some, and it itched like crazy. I shaved, so that might have something to do with the itch. I concentrated on watching TV till I went to sleep. My God, today I was not sweating at work. Not a drop of sweat on my underarms! I am in shock. I highly recommend it. It's a life changer. I will be going shopping soon!"

For Hyperhidrosis "When I was in middle school, I started experiencing hyperhidrosis of the underarms. I don't remember how I first came across Drysol, but it made such a huge difference in my life! I could wear ANY SHIRT I wanted! It definitely caused some itching/stinging of the underarm area if I applied it within 24 hours of shaving, so follow the directions. The day after the first use, my underarms were 100% sweat-free. I used it for three consecutive nights, and after that, I only needed to reapply once a week, and eventually once a month, and so on. Today, I haven't used it in at least 8 years, but I still don't have any underarm sweat. It basically deleted my axillary sweat glands. Hallelujah."

For Hyperhidrosis "This is my first time EVER writing a review, but I was so happy with this product I felt like I just had to give my positive feedback. I have had problems with sweating for years. I couldn't understand how people could wear T-shirts and be able to raise their arms with ease. I have spent the last ten years wearing clothes that I know won't show signs of sweat. It's been terrible. I finally decided to go online and search and stumbled across Drysol. I read a few reviews, and after trying every product on the market, I was praying this one would work out, and it did. I am so excited about this and my whole new wardrobe I can wear. Thank you so, so, so much. I wish I could kiss the people who created this product!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I have dealt with excessive sweating ever since I was around 10 years old. Being that this problem started right as puberty did made it very hard and extremely embarrassing for me to handle. I spent hundreds of dollars on antiperspirants, natural treatments, OTC options, etc. I am now 19 and finally gave in to going to my doctor to seek help. She prescribed Drysol for me, and from day one of using it, I have been sweat-free. I can finally wear colors again and get rid of my worn-out black shirts. The only problem I had was on my second night of using the product. I must have used too much, and in the morning, my skin was a little sore and red, but this went away with a little pain-relieving cream and was gone within a few hours."

For Hyperhidrosis "Typical hyperhidrosis story here. All of my white undershirts have nasty-looking yellow/brown stains on the pits, and a lot of colored shirts have white stains from sweating so much that over-the-counter deodorant had stained the pits. I'll admit, I didn't have a ton of hope for Drysol, as no deodorant has ever worked for me. This stuff works. I'm amazed. The only problem is that it is excruciatingly itchy. I thought this would only be for the first couple of nights, but nope. Every single night it itches like hell for about 30 minutes. Even before I apply it, there's a slight itch. Occasionally, the itching is accompanied by a slight burning sensation, but not always. The stuff works wonders, and I'd rate it 10/10 if it wasn't for the itch."

For Hyperhidrosis "I am someone who sweats anytime under my arms, it could be for any reason, and I would filter my life around it. Loose shirts, dark colors, and I would rarely ever raise my arms for the fear that I would show my stains of sweat. Talked to my dermatologist, and they offered me Drysol, and I absolutely loved that I could wear anything and I wouldn't sweat, but it does have its downside to it. I am a girl, and shaving under my arms irritates the crap out of it and burns. I tried to use Nair instead of shaving, and it burns even more. I honestly do not know what to do."

For Hyperhidrosis "Had severe sweating in my armpits beginning when I started to go through puberty. My parents and doctor both told me that as I got older, this problem would go away. It didn't, and as a result, I started using Drysol. I know you probably have seen these two words a lot on this website, but the product really is 'life changing'. Great product."

For Hyperhidrosis "PLEASE READ: Are you afraid of shaking people's hands? Do pencils slip from your grip? Have sweaty hands during the dead of winter? Afraid of handling loose change? Do you WANT a change? LOOK NO FURTHER THAN DRYSOL! I've had all the above problems and MORE for so many years; I've been embarrassed and socially anxious because of hyperhidrosis. Finally, I went to the pharmacy and the pharmacist recommended Drysol. I had never heard of it before, but what more could I lose? My actual hands? I tried it every night for four days now, and it keeps getting better and better. We went to church today (Christmas) and during the peace offering, my hands were completely DRY! I owe my life to this product. God bless them. I recommend it to everyone!!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I'm not one to write a review, but I feel compelled to tell others that suffer with severe sweating, as I did for many years, that when my doctor recommended Drysol, I was hesitant to try it. I have been using it for 2 years or more, and I have been so happy with the results. As others have said, I had irritation at first, but just keep using it and it will give you results you never thought possible. My condition is so much better than I thought it could be. My body now tells me it's time to put it on, I can go several weeks between doses. It has made my life so much better!"

For Hyperhidrosis "I have had this issue for several years. I am 20. I would get dressed and have to change before I left the house because I would be soaked through in a few minutes. My clothes were stained. I couldn't wear light-colored clothes and always wore a sweater or jacket to hide the wetness. I tried every clinical strength over-the-counter product on the market to no avail. I finally asked my doctor, and she wrote me a prescription for Drysol. It worked after the first application. I couldn't believe I suffered all that time. My insurance covers it, but it is cheaper than my copay. It literally changed my life. I now wear cotton blouses with confidence. No side effects. Just don't use it after shaving."

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 "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 "This stuff is absolutely amazing. I never could wear anything but black because I sweat so much in my armpits. I started using this a couple of years ago. When I first started it, I had to use it once every couple of weeks. Then only once every 6 months, and now it's been over a year, and I don't have to use it, and I'm not sweating. It felt like it saved my life in a way. I'm so happy I found it."
