Follow the instructions and you to will enjoy dry undershirts. I had some slight irritation, but it was a MINOR price to pay for knowledge I'd still be dry half way through my work day. The drier your skin is at application time at night the less irritation. Bought it for $4.50 +T @ walmart in Fargo, ND. This product is awesome:) For those claiming it'll harm us, anything will if used to excess. Some say our body won't be able to remove toxins; to those braniacs, your perspiration contains a mix of water, salt and trace amounts of uric acid. It's the liver and kidneys that remove/ metabolize "toxins" from our body. The epidermis as an organ is in charge of 1 thing, heat regulation. The average adult has about 2400sq.inches of surface area, removing 4 to 8 from the cooling process won't break the bank. So don't "sweat" it. ;) This is a great product!

I work in sales, so any amount of insecurity can mean losing a sale, and ultimately your paycheck. I have been dealing with underarm persperation for a few years now, and in an undershirt, button down, and tie its hard to stay cool. A week with Certain Dri and I have NO MORE SWEAT! A little itching, but not enough to make it not worth having cool and dry underarms.

All brands of antiperspirant works better if used at night, not just certain dry. Mitchem knew this years ago. Use of these products actually increases the problem (rebound). Have you noticed it works better if you skip a day?

i am a 14 year old girl, who just purchased this AMAZING product. the first night i used it i saw the results INSTANTLY. the next day i was completely dry. i am so happy with it. only thing is to make sure you dont apply it after you just showered, or shaved. it hurts ALOT if you do. other than that, its awesome! i bought mine at shoppers drug mart for 10$. go out and buy this!!!

I used to sweat under my arms a lot, even when i was just sitting around at home. I used it, and after 3 days of using it i stopped sweating under my arms, even when i was running for an hour and a half at soccer practice! It really works!

I used it when I first bought it and it definitely worked, but then I was forgetting to put it on every night. I do have a question though...If you put it on at night, are u supposed to put deoderant on in the morning when u wake up or should you be good for the day???

I've suffered from hyperhydrolosis since I was 12...I'm now 22. I've tried just about every anti-perspirant I could think of, and while some worked better than others, none of them worked sufficiently. I get sweat rings regularly, for no apparant reason at all, and had pretty come to the conclusion that it was a lost cause for me. I recently started a new job where I'm required to wear long-sleaved button down shirts - my worst nightmare. The heat and humidity in my area only contribute to the problem. I hopped on the net to once again search for a solution, and stumbled upon Certain Dri. And it certainly works! Those who comment that 'sweating isn't big deal, just wear a deodorant' don't understand how socially damaging sweaty pits can be. It causes a great deal of insecurity, and can indirectly cause you to project a vibe of insecurity. Carrying yourself in a closed, timid manner, always worried of drawing attention to your pits can make a very unconfident impression; though you may not feel that way. It feels good to be able to socialize with others, without the fear of sweaty pits always in the back of my mind. I can actually give hugs to people without any worries. Its a great feeling. Those who are intent on believing that anti-perspirants cause cancer, check out this link to this site which refutes this myth http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/2005/405_sweat.htm l#myth Anyway, my sincere thanks to the kind folks who brought this out on the market. Its a deal at 5.99. As other people have commented, I would have paid much for just to alleviate that bit of worry from my mind.
DANCERRx 07/07/2006
Hmm you guys are lucky. I've been using it for like a month now, and I've noticed a very subtle difference in my subtle difference in my sweating. It makes my arm-pits itchy sometimes... but not too bad. I still get the sweat marks... maybe I'll try Dry Sol.
Gwenllian 06/28/2006
This product is absolutely fantastic. I tried Dry Sol and it was a no-go, so I pretty much thought my life was over. When my dad (a doctor, for those of you worrying about the safety issues) recommended Certain Dri, though, I decided to try it out, and it's fantastic. There's some itching under the arms, but nothing horrendously unbearable. I highly suggest you pick it up if you sweat. I read a couple of reviews where people were applying it in the afternoon, etc. and it wasn't working, and I just had to comment: I don't know why, but Certain Dri ONLY works at night when you're sleeping. It's right there in the directions, so PLEASE do yourself a favor and follow them. I give this product five stars!
xxLALAAAA 05/19/2006
I really prayed this would work... I was so fed up with wearing hoodies, and jackets... I used to be able to wear really cute fitted tees and stuff... well now I can't. I got Certain Dri about a month ago, and I've been using it ever since. I'm still sweating. I'm probably going to try Maxim. But this stuff sometimes made me itch like crazy. I only sweat when I'm at school, because I get pretty nervous around a lot of people. At home when I'm with family or close friends, I'm fine. But this stuff disappointed me. I still have to put up with sweat marks. :(
zxzcccz 04/11/2006
it worked but i have many bumps under my arms
chrism 02/27/2006
This product is amazing. YOu should def. buy it if you have a problem with excessive sweating. I used to sweat so bad that i had to wear hoodies all the time so that people would not see the nasty sweat rings under my armpits. Now i never sweat at all, it can be 100 degrees out and I wont sweat under my armpits. I love it sooooo much. If you follow the directions, then it will work. The first week or so that you use it, you will experience some burning and itching right after you apply it, but it is so worth it and the side effects will go away.
Hawaiian67 02/02/2006
I am a 18 year old male. For about 4 years i had a problem with underarm sweat. I would get those embarrasing sweat stains even on cold days. I could never wear anything but white shirts or i had to wear a jacket to cover up the sweat. I tried just about every anti-perspirant/deoderant at the drug stores trying to solve this problem. Finaly i saw many good revienws on Certain Dry and decided there was nothing to lose. I purchased Certain Dry about 4 days ago. The first night i applied it right before bead like instructed. I didnt feel anyhting, no burning no itching, so i wondered if it was even working. The next day i put it to the ultimate test by wearing a light blue shirt to school. To my surprise, not a single drop of sweat drizzled down my arm. I could finaly raise my hand in class w/ out the class giggling. Certain Dry changed my life and i hope if you suffer from excessive sweating under your arms that this product is the real thing.

I love it! Couldn't be happier! I love the anti persperant commercials where some guy is riding an atv in a desert with a sweater on and the anti persperant is keeping him dry.....I get out of the shower and within 2 minutes there's sweat dripping from my arm. I used to sweat like non other, could only wear black and white, but now I'm as dry as can be. If you've tried everthing, certain dri is worth a try. $5...I would have paid $50.
eternalyours 12/11/2005
This product is AMAZING. For about two years now I was starting my mornings with "what can't I wear today, or ever for that matter". I hated sweating so much and I hated the fact that my mom didn't believe me that I actually had a problem. Then I saw a commercial for Certain Dri. When i got it I read the instructions and I was too excited to wait until before bed so I tried it out. It didn't work too well so I decided to follow the instructions and applied before bed. The next morning (weekend) I wore the snuggest fitting shirt I had that would show me the level of hyperhidrosis. There was NONE. You can't believe how happy I was. I recommend this product for anyone who wants to go shopping and know he/she can buy anything, no matter what color or thickness. Thank you Certain Dri, you're AWESOME.
BowChikaWowWow 10/22/2005
I think that this really deserves more of a 4 1/2 but gave it a five.... well the first few days it didnt completley stop my sweating but reduced it and continued with out the next few days but after a week it almost stopped but if i got to heated like if i was in a jacket near a heater so if i just never let myself get to hot i had no problem but after 2-3 weeks it completley stopped my underarm sweating and i would say for the first week or 2 apply every night but after that i would go to every other day then every three days or so because for me it became really sensitive on my arm pits when i applyed it every day and they turned red but stopped after i stopped aplying it every day and i would not recomend going crazy with applying (make sure you read the instructions) as far as it itching goes theres only a slight sensation i just blew on it and it helped but do not itch after applying it for atleast 20 minutes because thats wwhat made it burn and then it burns for a long time so i would not recommend doing it if anyone has any qquestions for how it worked for me email me at crapbag963@yahoo.com .... i know how frustrating this problem is
death cab for cutie 10/07/2005
so, i have hyperhidrosis and i was wondering which product is better or cheaper? where can you get them? like, at drugstores, or like, target, or albertsons? because, i'd love to get rid of it. im sick of hiding behind black shirts!!!!!!
FiercestCalm 09/27/2005
I don't have excessive perspiration problems, but I would sweat through my shirt at least a little every day. I got this product based on a reccomendation, and it really works- even on the hottest days, walking back and forth across campus, there was no sweat. It's true that it does burn or itch a little when applied, but if you wait every other day or apply less, this subsides.
isweatalot... 09/08/2005
i used to sweat alot and hated to wear cute clothes that werent black cus id just ruin them with underarm sweat. i saw certain dri on the net and and really wanted to trie it and i did. it works soooooooo well.i wore a rly cute hollister shirt and i was rly worried ppl would notis sweat stains but i was dri all day then even after the whole day and there was no sweat! i hav been using it for 3 days and it still works great. i hav a suggestion tho use it every other nite and it will work better....i woudnt lie about this stuff it rly works.:)
David Nathaniel 08/23/2005
My wife tried Certain Dri, it didnt work it burned. We tried it, gave it a chance and nothing. I found irritation and burning, I tried Maxim Antiperspirant and it worked the very 1st day. No Burning. My wife tried Maxim Sensitive Antiperspirant and she loved it. Watery Certain Dri is a cheap product. Maxim is better. Period.

honeychild 08/20/2005
Hello, I just started using Certain Dri today so I don't know if it works yet, but I was wondering, did anyone else feel a slight burning or itching the first day they used the product? Is this normal, or is it just a side effect I am experiencing?
Brizzle 08/16/2005
Oh my god! I've used this product for 3 days now, and all i can say is WOW!!!For me, it reduced my sweating a little each day, and hopefully it continues it's great work. I used to get pretty big sweat marks on shirts, even sweatshirts sometimes...so it was hard to wear whatever i wanted without being embarrassed!The only shirts i would wear would be black or perhaps white, or simply sweaters and sweatshirts. But now, with the amazing help of Certain Dri, i have one huge worry off my mind. Thank you so much for making this product, and completely changing my life. Go out and buy this product...it's only 8$-canadian-, so whats to lose really? <333
CDnewby 07/27/2005
Hey, I was wondering if you are still suppose to use regular deodarant during the day even though you apply the certain dri at night. I just started using this product last night and my sweating was greatly reduced today (I hope it continues to get better!). I didn't use deodarant today and I didn't notice any offensive odors or anything but I was just wondering if anyone knows if it's okay to continue using deodarant or if it's not even necesary anymore. Thanks for your help.
JLO 03/17/2005
What is the difference between Maxim and Certain Dri? Anyone know wehre to get Certain Dri in Canada? I'm in Toronto. Does anyone know what Maxim shipping rates are?
fishy2222 03/02/2005
horrible!! Well...Like your probally doing, I was fed up w/ my sweating and was determined to find some kinda cure other than the surgery to stop the sweating under the arms...I couldn't handle being a 19 year old girl and constantly having to wear hoodies, or black sweaters...In the summer I have to wear long sleeve shirts or plain black shirts but I still sweat through it....So i was researching and found this review thingy...I figured what the hell I'll try certain dri...So i used like it said at night for a couple nights and than I decided well I'll wear a shirt thats not black out...so about 15 mins later i feel wetness...my shirt was drenched w/ sweat...Horrible!! Did I give up, NO! I figured maybe it took time but it never worked, I thought it was horrible, dont get your hopes up!! I am now about to try what the dermatologist recommended dry sol than if not botox...for serious sweaters, dont buy it!
Al_Gore 02/24/2005
So far, Certain Dri has worked exactly as advertised. It stopped the sweating the first time I used it. No other store brands I tried worked, but this one does.
expertadvice 12/15/2004
I only use Certain Dri when I wear certain shirts, that stain easily, or that are close fitting. I think that is reccomendable, instead of using it everyday.
Lil one 12/05/2004
I just started using certain dri... and i think its amazing, i dont sweat that much anymore... but doesnt anyone else feel like its sort of dangerous, closing up the pores and all... as a girl im kinda scared of getting breast cancer... did anyone talk to a dr b4 using this product? And now any specifics, if its safe??
kittie_ssl 11/17/2004
I HAVENT TRIED THIS...I JUST READ MOST OF THE COMMENTS..AND IM WONDERING WER TO CAN I GET IT...IM 16 SO I DONT HAVE A CREDIT CARD..SO..I CANT BUY IT ONLINE..I LIVE IN MIAMI BEACH..IF ANYOME KNOWS IN WHAT STORE I CAN GET IT PLEASE POST A COMMENT FOR ME...PLEASE!!!!!!!..ANY STORE LIKE WALGREENS OR ECKERDS...STILL IM GONNA GO CHECK OUT..BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE HELPED ME OUT..THANX... KITTY I rated this product great///cause just tha fact of knowing theres something out there to help me with my problem..is amazing..
fletchincolleg e 10/27/2004
Hey I thought you should know, Maxim Antiperspirant worked better from me than certain dri. I tried everything else and i didnt like certain dri cause it dripped down my shirt and it burned my skin from the alcohol. Maxim however wans't runny, cause it has a thickening agent and doesnt contain alcohol either, so it didn't burn. Thought you might be interested in Maxim, They are in Wal Marts in Minnesota, but you can order on line from CORAD Healthcare. Anything I can do to pass the word. Try it at maximotc dot com. or stopsweat dot com. I found it and i dont use anything else but Maxim now. Thanks, David Nashville, TN
ronald80 09/20/2004
This is my first day using Certain Dri, hopefully i'am living on the border of USA, and i can buy it, on my first day there is like an 85 90% of dryness, cool, on my second day i will apply maybe 3 strokes on each armpit and i hope that this works at 100% with the time. Try it.
GinaChachina 09/10/2004
I am 15 years old and for 7 months I have been sweating sooo BAD! My mom says that is just what teens do. But I don't think teens would have sweat all the way down to your elbows! I would be afraid to raise my hand in school. So I would just keep my arms down and not really be able to move. And my parents would say well you just need to not keep your armpits away from your body and let them get some air. So i would try to keep my armpits away from my body but it just got soo bad even after that, that i needed to just keep my arms down. I was afraid to hug people and go to peoples houses. I read about certain dri on the internet, and tried to get it at target but it wasnt there. My mom said that this was my last chance to buy deodorant because i have so many different ones and we were just wasting money. So i tried one more place, Safeway...and I THANK SAFEWAY SOOO MUCH FOR CARING CERTAIN DRI! It has worked so GREAT! I usually dont believe reviews on the internet....but this stuff really works. And i would never lie to someone with the same problem as me and have them waste their money. I know how you all feel. So if you have a problem like I did just GO GET SOME!
Amafralto 09/02/2004
Certain Dri has worked wonders for me. I have been sweating profously under my arms for about 3-4 years now every day. I have been using it for about three weeks now and am not noticing sweat under my arms as I used to. I can finally wear shirts in light colors and lift my arms.
finallyagoodsi te 08/24/2004
I have been have a serious problem with underarm sweating over the past 3 months. I have tried Degree, Right Guard, and recently the spray on called axe (or something like that). As soon as I read these posts I rushed over to Target to get Certain Dri. I just tried it this afternoon and am hoping to have the same results most people have had on this posting. Thanks for all your input.
NeedinHelp 08/19/2004
I am a teenager who suffers terribly from sweating. I have tried almost every thing from deodrant to sweat pads. Nothing worked. I saw this site where every one said that they loved it and i was so excited that i went straight down town to get some! I couldnt wait to try it out. Ive been using it for about a week and i sweat just as bad as i always have. i dont know if im doin something wrong or what! i was so upset! please help me if you have any advise!
flaxseed 08/13/2004
This product is absolutely fabulous! I sweat like there's no other. Sometimes the sweat would be down to the length of my elbows, alot of my shirts were stained and I just felt so insecure. I wouldn't even have to do anything to sweat, I would sit down in a room and sweat would just leak out of my armpits, I swear! I bought Certain Dri because I thought it might work, I remembered seeing it online one day when I was looking up axillary hyperhidrosis and thought, Oh, that would be nice if it actually worked. I went to the store a week later and saw it! I grabbed it, tried it, and now I'm loving it! Sometimes I'll be driving in my car with the windows up and the air conditioner off so I'll get really warm, I feel under my armpits... and there's no wet spot!! I'm so amazed by this product. It's fabulous! I would definitely recommend it!
wetpits 08/03/2004
I tried it about a year ago and it worked great for a few weeks...then it stopped working. I decided to try it again a few weeks ago...same issue....It has stopped working....
bmine 06/07/2004
For years i was afraid and embarassed of my sweating problem. i went to the doctors and he prescribed a harsh treatment that i could not even use because of the side effects. Since certain Dri i can wear any shirt and not have to worry about anything, it is a god send!!!! There is no side effects and the product is just great, my sweating is gone and i dont even have to use it every night. this product has really changed my life.
hearmeout 06/05/2004
This product is absolutely fabulous! This is the first review I have ever done, but I just had to comment on how great Certain Dri is. I have been using Certain Dri for about four months now and am extremely pleased with the results. I used to sweat so much that perspiration stains would extend from my pit to my waist. Totally embarrassing! Now, I don't sweat at all. There was a period of time (about a week) when I had run out of Certain Dri and once again, the massive sweat reappeared. As soon as I got the Certain Dri again, my problem was gone. I have had no side effects and can now where what I want and embrace people without feeling guilty for showering them.
Gemswick 05/16/2004
I've been suffering from excesive perspiration for years. I stopped wearing certain shirts and always felt very self conscious with everyone staring at the big sweat marks under my arm pits. Lets just say the only thing i didn't do when this product worked the next morning, was cry. I bought two more the next day because it is not available in my country. I bought it three weeks ago and since that one use I haven't used it since and the sweating has stopped. It's one less problem i have to worry about in life. And to think I just picked it up because it said prescription-strength. My doctor said this condition is something I would have to struggle with all my life because it gets worse during my period. Thanks to who ever invented this product. The price is really fantastic if it was sold for 50.00 i would still buy it. I swear I bought it for 4.99 at walmart. I haven't suffered from any side effects at all, of which I am very surprised, just because it is a product that works. A very satisfied customer in Barbados.
kdimambro1 12/21/2003
This is a hard one to rate, because it really works and does what it says however with the side effect I am having I don't know if it is worth it. It has indeed closed my pores under my arms and no more wetness. However about 2 days after I began using it I had a bump appear behind my ear lobe. I thought it was a pimple as I have alittle problems with that, however it got very sore but would not pop. Well that was 4 weeks ago, I know have about 9 bumps between my ears, ear lobes, face, neck, and forehead. They are not pimples and a clear liquid may ooze out if hammered enough. I' would think this is the water that use to come from under my arms. Doesn't it have to go somewhere? Anyway I am so disappointed, I haven't stopped using the stuff (CD) but I have to because ever couple of days I have a new bump or two.
Philuponthis 07/22/2003
I believe that this product is not rated number one because many people do not need the strength that Certain Dri offers. If you notice, it is the only product listed as "anti-perspirant," not deorderant. People probably want that scented and anti-perspirant combination which other products contain. This is percisely why it is not rated number one on this list. Certain Dri is the best anti-perspirant for people who suffer from hyperhydrosis. It's awesome!
fresh 07/17/2003
i've tried a ton of different deoderants and certain dri is the best! sure, the other ones smelled nice, but none of them worked as well as certain dri. i highly recommend this product to those who sweat excessively (like myself). its unscented, so i always put on some regular deoderant (just in case). unfortunately, this product is only available in the U.S
luvs2run27 07/01/2003
This product is fabulous!! I would sweat when I was nervous and then would get embarrassed which would make me sweat even more! It has changed my life!! Plus, I live in Houston where it's very hot and it works like a charm. I highly recommend it! I no longer ruin clothes either!! With regards to the few people that complained, I am 100% convinced that they did not follow directions. It's very important, especially for women who shave to follow the directions. Buy it today!!
jessiecav 06/14/2003
I have only been using it a few days and have had no side effects, and it has been working. The first day, I still sweat a little, but since then, my armpits are always dry! This stuff is the best and only costs $5-6. One of the best purchases I have ever made.
Rated03 06/09/2003
I have used Certain Dri for a month - it was going great- I was so happy thinking I would finally be a normal person - then about three days ago - it stopped working. Has this happened to anyone else? I haven't done anything different than when I first started using it. I am so depressed, what's going on?
producer 05/31/2003
I tried everything, including dress shields for my excessive perspiration and nothing worked. I've ruined lots of expensive clothes and avoided wearing many items because I knew the "wet spots" would appear. I found Certain Dri in my local supermarket and decided to try it. I can't believe what a difference it has made. I'm more confident and wear anything I want now. Thanks Certain Dri for helping me with a problem I thought would never go away.
gindarlin 05/24/2003
There should be an extra warning about this product. It works exactly as it says it should. It stopped my excessive sweating perfectly. I followed the instructions perfectly. It however leaves a very metallic taste in the mouth for a day or so after you use it. It was a horrendous metallic taste and it wasn't listed as a side effect. Just fyi for everyone. But I would still reccomend it b/c IT DID WORK.
