hola he decidido hacer este review en espanol pues cuando comense a indagar sobre este excellente producto no encontre mucho en espanol , en esta pagina si vi muchas reviews que me sirvieron y nada aqui esto para dar mi opinion sobre drysol primero que todo el producto es magnifico se lo diec alqui que sufrio de sudor en las axilas por 15 anos o mas y ahora nada todo seco los primeros 3 dias el sudor dsiminullo gradualmente por lo que digo que no deben desesperarce ni desecionarse ya para el 4 dia el sudo es casi nada y luego de una semana olvidalo, en mi caso lo use seguido 7 dias todas las noches ahora solo lu uso antes de dormir 2 dos veces pro semana, simpre lo use de noche antes de dormir , en las mananas pues esta es otra duda que muchos tienen no use en los primeros 7 dias ningun desodorante ahora solo uso pero un tin pues no creo que sea necesario usa pero por si pues en realida a pesar de sudar no cojo mal olor, en fin recomiendo el drysol a todos los que sufran de esto como yo nunca lo use en las palmas o en lo pies solo debajo de los brazos y les repito es exellente, o unico malo es que arde o pica un poco cuando lo pones lo primeros dias , pero debe ser que por la desesperacion de eliminar el sudor me hechaba mucho, pues ahora me aplico menos y casi ni lo siento, a otra cosa el 4dia me afeite pues esto ayuda tmabien pues arriba a usa y creanme que no se arrepentiran gracias drysol

can it be used on palms?

I just ordered Drysol last week so I should be receiving it soon. From reading everyone's reviews it seems like this stuff really works! I am very excited as I have suffered from excessive sweating for a very long time and figured there was nothing I could do about it. I am a little worried however about the burning everyone is talking about. At this point I really don't care. My problem has caused me to not be myself at times. I tend to be reserved and quiet because I want to go unnoticed. I don't know about anyone else, but my sweating problem really doubles as two. I also tend to have B.O. which for anyone especially a female is REALLY embarassing! I hope this stuff really works as well as everyone says it does!! I really want to be able to live a normal life with CONFIDENCE!

OMG!!! I never in my life have done one of these reviews things, but I guess this has changed my decision. I'm now in 9th grade and have suffered from hyperhidrosis since I was in 6th grade. I remember the dreadful day perfectly, I was raising my hand to ask a question and there I saw it, a huge sweat stain. I thought I did not put my deodorant on right or something but soon I realized I had a problem. When one day I finally got the guts inside me to tell my doctor to prescribe me drysol, I couldn't wait to try it. I was so excited, the first day I put it on and wow did it burn. I tried falling asleep and eventually I did. Woke up in the morning and took a shower. At school, I was so paranoid, I checked my armpits every 3 seconds. I was amazed not one drop of sweat! I went to the gym that day because I am a boxer, and not even one drop of sweat there! My life has been changed and I've been using it for about 3 weeks. Thank you Drysol, you have truly changed my life. Much love :P IF you're reading this, it does work! I never thought I would get over my problem.

Hello Im 19 yrs old, male. Ive had hyperhidrosis ever since i can remember. When i was little i didnt worry about it that much, but now its really embarrazing. When I go out to clubs, gym, or even when im home i have to worry about the clothes that i use so my sweaty armpits dont show that much. Ive tried several antiperspirants and they just dont work; they either make stains on my clothes or worst, make me sweat more. So, i just gave up on this and said to my self i had to get over it, i was born like that and thats how i was supposed to be. Couple of weeks ago i saw and ad on tv of the Gillete "clinical strenght" whaterer....so i just went to the store and got it. After readiang lots of negative reviews on it, i just desided to return it, as a matter of fact i didnt even open it. While doing the reasearch on the gillette deodoranti heard about this product called DRYSOL, red the reviews and i was really astonished. I was like, i cant believe i found some cure for my sweatyness lol. So i went on ahead i bought the Drysol. I was so excited about getting it that i would check the mail everyday until I received it like a week after and put it on the first night i got it. Oh boy, it really burns and itches, but whatever. I woke up the following morning, my armpits were red. That day i didnt have much activity, nonetheless, i did not feel a drop under my arms. That night i put it on again, next day i woke up took a shower and hit the streets. I would look to my shirt every other minute and there would me any sign of sweat. Ive used it now for three days and i can just say that it really is worth the pain. My armpits are completelly dry i don even have to wear deodorant (i use baby powder now LOL) now im going to start using it once or twice a week as needed (as it say on the instructions)
I can say that drysol has changed my life and it has given me confidence and has helped me raise my self steem.
And that is my story..!! hope it was usefull

I am a 33 y/o female, who has suffered with hyperhidrosis since I was about 11 years old. Throughout my years, I seldom raised my hand, was weary about giving hugs and always had to be ultra selective in what to wear. Most often times, my choice of clothing was limited due its ability to camouflage. I also always had a fear of speaking in front of an audience because I was certain everyone would see my underarms, so full of sweat. Like many others on here, I showered constantly to avoid ever smelling, had several changes of shirts available, as well as the strongest OTC antipersperant money could buy. I never sought treatment because I was so embarrassed. I didn't even reveal this to my husband until recently. Last year I tried the Secret Clinical strength. It smelled really nice, but was only effective when I was sleeping. I felt doomed that anything could ever be done. I had read articles on people having surgery or botox to reduce/eliminate sweating. I was not sure about the procedures but considered them until 2 weeks ago. While watching TV, my husband saw a commercial for another OTC antipersperant. While entering that name into the search engine, DRYSOL came up. After reading many of these reviews as well as marketing ads and drug information, I was convinced this was for me.
I am happy to report that for my 2nd anniversary, I got a prescription for DRYSOL and could not wait to use it. I used it for a full week as per my doctor(I had a very severe case) and now I use it every other day. I have not sweat since the day of my annniversary. So that day has extra meaning now! I did have the itching and burning. By the 2nd night and inability to sleep, I decided to take Benadryl 30 minutes before applying(Benadryl is an antihistamine, therefore, reduces itching caused by histamine release). It worked but I still scratched. Putting lotion around the perimeter of application helped to reduce the itching.
I feel so lucky to be able to wear all of the things that looked great in my closet! I am more confident and self-assured. I hug everyone and I raise my hand now. It just really stinks that I had to wait decades for this and how much of life I feel like I missed. BUT, I'm making up for it everyday since I started! Whatever discomfort anyone encounters, to me, is well worth it!

I've tried everything! I wear suits to work and would sweat through my jacket. I've sweat through multi-layers, paper towels, extra strength deoderants, anything you can think of, I have tried with no results. After the first application, I was sold! This stuff is truly the cure for excessive sweat! It's a pain to put on and may cause a light rash, but it is well worth it!

Read geaux9's review below.

Any product that requires that much work to use safely isn't worth using.

Its August in NYC , 90 degrees and 90% humidity and I AM DRY!

I am 27 now and had HH problem since I was 20-21. Used all kinds of antiperspirants, deodorants, powders, stuff you cant even imagine...

I adjusted my died, stopped with salty food because i though it was the water retention...
Stopped with cofee cause might have been the cafeine...
Stopped with soda...
Started running more and lifting less...
I was running 6 minutes miles for 3 miles , and i didnt understand why i was sweating if i was in shape...
you name it i did it...

I am very sceptical about products but this stuff really works for me now and my armpits are completely dry. I am so used to being paranoid about this problem i even put gilette anti perspirant in the morning...but i am sure i dont even need it.

Going into this I said I would be happy if it eliminated 50% of my sweating, but it did nearly 100%.
Seriously USE IT!
Only down side is.......it freaking burns and itches, but people go thru worse pains.
ENJOY!

I absolutely LOVE drysol! I found out about it through the internet because I didn't know who to talk to about my sweating problem. What's weird was that I got this condition when I was 22 (about a year ago) and thought there was no cure. I bought Secret Clinical Strength and was very upset when it did not work (and almost gave up!). Then I read all the reviews about drysol, ordered it online without a prescription and have been very happy ever since! I've been using it for about 3 months and the first week it was pretty itchy and it burned but I stuck through it. Recommendation: do NOT shave the day you apply drysol!!! It definitely makes it worse. After a couple of weeks, I did not experience the burning and itchiness. Now, I only use it once a week and even when I run 3 miles at the gym, I do not have sweaty armpits..it's AMAZING! I use Mitchum throughout the week just b/c it's too weird not to put deodorant on every day. I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone; I can finally wear color clothes without worrying! HORRAY!

OMG! Thank you to all for your reviews on Drysol. It seems like forever, but it was only 1 week ago that I discovered this site and decided to buy Drysol. I was fed up with being embarassed about my excessive sweating. It really affected my performance at work because I was low on confidence. I dressed up in ugly dark sweaters and odd dark colors because of this problem. BUT NOW! I can't wait to shop shop shop for colors colors and more colors. It's been only 4 days since I started using Drysol and it had worked WAY beyond my dreams. I used certain dry and that failed miserably. I keep checking for wetness and even in 80 degree weather, I don't sweat a drop! My life is totally changed.

I am reading all these reviews about Drysol working and what not, but I've tried it and I'm still sweating like crazy!
I don't know if it's because I'm applying it on wrong or not, but it's so embarrassing, because I sweat so much and I hate feeling uncomfortable. I really thought Drysol would work since so many reviews said it did for that person, but... it's not working for me and I'm very sad!

Finally! something that truly works! I've tried everything! certain dry, all the prescription strength products out on the shelves, degree, old spice, gillette, even secret! I was really running out of options and i was even considering getting the botox injections under my arms! I dont know how i was going to pay for the treatments but I was desperate! So I guess you could say drysol was my last option, the first night I applied it, there was no burning and the following day I did sweat, but about 40% less than usual so I still had high hopes for it, considering the fact that you do have to wait a couple of days for it to work. Keeping dry at work was so hard, we have to wear these polyester shirts and I usually have to work 8 hour shifts, by the second hour at work, i was already drenched in sweat, everytime i moved my arm it felt so hot under my arms, i was always so scared to be around people, and considering the fact that i work in customer service was even worse! I was always trying to hide, or avoid talking to people. So after the third day of using drysol i still felt warm underneath my arms and I was like, "Oh great, here we go again". by the end of the night I thought i was drenched so I snuck away to check the damage, and nothing. I was completely dry! I couldnt believe it, by the time i got home i ran to the mirror to check to see if it was true, and it was! no wet stains whatsoever! So I still feel warm underneat my arms but now I know that im not wet! The product didnt sting the first night of using or, or the second but by the third and fourth i did feel it stinging quite a bit, but hey thats the only downside, and its not even a big one for the reward of being dry all day! i cannot believe it! i love this product! it really gave me the self esteem to do my job more productively. I love it!

i had been suffering from excessive sweating for about 5 yrs now and it is the most embarrassing thing. For 5 yrs all i could wear was white or black so i could hide my sweat stains. I was never able to wear my other cloths i had because of the fear of someone noticing my problem. Friends would ask me, "why do u only wear black and white, iv seen most of ur clothes in your closet thats isnt, why dont u wear those". i would say those clothes are ugly but really i loved those red or gray t-shirts that i couldnt wear. None of my friends new about my problem, even my family, i was way to embarrased to tell anyone. One day i got fed up with it, it actaully caused me some real great depression. I just wanted to wear a red t-shirt in the summer without a undershirt ( i couldnt even wear a red tshirt with an undershirt because i would sweat right through both). I visited my family doctor 4 days ago because i couldnt deal with it anymore. the reason why i didnt go earlier was because i was to embarrased to tell anyone even a doctor who i barely know. DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID, ONCE U NOTICE U HAVE THE PROBLEM OF EXCESSIVE SWEATING, TELL YOUR DOCTOR, THERE IS A CURE!!!. my doctor subscribed me DRYSOL, i used it that night before i went to bed and the next day was the best day of my life. NO SWEAT!!! NOT EVEN A DROP. i wore that red t-shirt that day WITHOUT EVEN A UNDERSHIRT. it actually felt weird that i wasnt sweating cause i was so used to it. In class i would keep checking if there was a mark, but nothing, not even a drop, i couldnt believe it. i have never rating a product or wrote something so long on a product before in my life, but i had to for drysol, IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE. SOOO PLEASE, GET IT TREATED, I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT UR GOING THROUGH, DONT BE EMBARRASSED, YOU WONT BELIEVE HOW MUCH IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

I am just like most of these people, i started sweating in 8th or 9th grade, and it never stopped, i had a good non sweating day once a month or 2 months. i tried every deorderant, all clinical strength deorderants, degree, gillete. mitchem, secret, all of them, spent way to much money giving each new one a shot. and i always knew that there was a prescription strength deorderant out there but i never wanted to go to the doctor to get a prescription, so after looking at this site i went onto ebay, bought it from a user in canada and i have been using it ever since.

I;ve been using Drysol for about a year now. It still works great! Now I only have to apply it once every 10-14 days. I still use deodorant for a fresh smell, but I only buy the cheapie ones since I don't sweat that much anymore. I even started applying Drysol to my groin area and to the bottoms of my feet. That worked well too, but I didn't sweat in those places as much as I did from my underarms, so I didn't keep it up.

I have found that if it starts itching/burning, it's because your underarm skin is dry and probably has tiny cracks. I find that if I lotion my armpits regularly it helps a lot. If it burns I'll also put lotion or vaseline on the spots where it burns and that helps a lot. Maybe even buying a moisturizing deodorant to use daily would help a lot, but I haven't tried that yet.

ive been using drysol for te past 3-4 days and its been working wonderfully, but the past two nights, ive been havin trouble sleeping and have been awake for hours....it has come to a point of me crying...with the rash and burns...is there any soution to this and do u know how long the rash stays? and if the itching and burning occurs everytime i use it??

Like most everyone that is writing I too have experienced excessive sweating. I have had it all the way back in middle school and would wear layers of shirts even sometimes wearing jackets when it was hot outside. I'm in my second year of college and still experiencing this. I just recently went to the dermotologist and he perscribed me Drysol and told me to apply it 3 times a day for 3 weeks. I have been doing this and this is my third day and now i have a rash and burning underneath each arm pit. I called the pharmacy to see if this was normal and he told me that i need to stop using it and call the doctor. But my sweating has disappeared so now i don't want to stop using it becuase i don't want my sweating to come back but i don't want the rash and burns either! has anyone experienced this?

is there any way i can get this product without visiting my dermatologist? i don't know if my insurance covers it and i really need this product!!!

I've got a question, I want to see if anyone else has had this problem. I've been using drysol for about 6 months - and it has been working wonders!! However in the last week or two I have been starting to sweat again, and I've tried applying it every other day again, instead of the usual twice a week, and it's still not helping, I immediately sweat that same day! Any suggestions? I would REALLY appreciate it! Thanks!!

wow, I cant say a lot since yesterday was my third day of using drysol. The first day I used it, I still sweated but the stains were so much smaller. The second day still the same, and I thought I didnt do it corectly but I did it the third day in the same way and it was the best day of my ife. NO SWEAT WHAT SO EVER!! I love this product! It burns a lot but hey, suck it up! Its worth it! Just one question, can I put deodorant on when I wake up?

I used Drysol for the first time last night following all the instructions and it worked so well, today I didn't even have a drop of sweat on my t-shirt. I hope it keeps working as well as it does and I'd definitely recommend this product to anyone who suffers from excessive sweating. Good luck!

I'll just say that this stuff works.

How natural or healthy it is, I don't know. But if you've ever been embarrassed by those huge wet armpit stains, you need this.

I used it once, and I've never had such a good day.

As far as the "proper" way to use it, do just what the instructions tell you to. Apply it, put some saran wrap against the skin, wear a tight fitting shirt, and go to sleep.

You'll be amazed.

I have been using DRYSOL for about 5 years now, and it has saved me from embarressing situation. I can finally wear what I want to wear and throw away those tank tops that I depended on for years. I'm more confidant and I look so good in my long sleeves.

Hi i was wondering if there was anything to stop the burning of this it has worked great so far but burns and itches really bad! Is their anything i can do?

I have suffered from excessive sweating since I was in grade 7. I remember raising my hand one day in class to ask to go to the washroom. I looked down and saw this huge sweat stain...I was wearing a sweatshirt:( I was mortified!!! I told no one, not even my parents or closest friends. I was too embarressed. I thought I was some sort of freak. I mean, who heard of people, especially a girl, sweating through their clothes. I then spent the rest of my highschool and university years trying to cover up this problem. I would dress in layers and always carry a tissue with me to wipe the sweat...it would litterally run sometimes. I preferred winter over summer...heavy sweaters and coats, of course. After university, I began my profession, I was a teacher...HIGHSCHOOL!!! Each and everyday I stood in front of a class, petrified, that I would sweat through my shirt and they would notice. Many times I did, but I was smart and always carried a change of clothes. After 2 years, I finaly had enough and got enough courage to finally tell someone. I went to the doctor and explained what was wrong. Still thinking I was a freak, I was floored when the doctor said that this condition was COMMON!!!!! She prescribed Drysol. I admit, it did burn and itch, alot, for the first few applications. However, I noticed immediate results. The sweating stopped. Trust me, I checked..OFTEN. That was a year ago and I cannot believe I suffered for all of those years with this condition when it was so easy to cure. I used to use it once a week while I was teaching...just to be sure. I last used it on June 20 and have been sweatfree for the entire summer. I love summer now!!! I can wear tanks and tees...tight tees, and not have to worry. So if you are reading this and thinking about what to do about your excessive sweating, I URGE you to get some drysol. Bear with the itch for the first few applications, and sit back and begin to enjoy your life!!!

Wow. i just used drysol for the first time last night so i actually am not sure how well it works yet. reading all these articles makes me realize how many people actually have this problem. i always thought i was the only one with the embarrassing problem haha. oh yeah and the burning last night was a little painful but definitely not unbearable. i am honestly so happy to see how many people have has success with this product and i am definitely hoping for the same with myself. it would really change my life. anyone who has had excessive sweating problems definitely understands how amazing it would be to have a product that works. good luck everyone!!!

Hi i have super bad sweating under my arms and i was considering drysol mild because it doesnt have as much aluminum in it so i was wondering if that works at all?

Hi! I'm hoping some of you kind people will help me out. I hav a questions about drysol so please help me if you hav answers! I will apreciate it soo much!! ok so i'm only 13 but yes I hav absolutely horible sweating problems (enough to go threw a shirt, show with my arms over it, and then go threw a thick sweater even when it's not hot out!) it's crazy. I've tryed many anti-perspirants and this is my only other option. So I live in Canada and they sell drysol over the counter at most Shoppers Drug Marts but do I need a perscription?? Because i'm only 13. I know if you get one there's no tax but without a perscription can I still get it?? Please answer to this!!

I first experienced excesses sweating around grade 9. Ever since i became quite self conscience and adopted a more passive personality so that i would not be noticed by my peers. hyperhydrossis controlled my life, i was afraid to people would notice which actually made things worse because it made me more nervous which made me sweat more. All through highschool i would allways wear double tshirts or sweaters and even sometimes i would sweat through them. there was actually a phase when i wore a jacket everyday to class.

OMG!!! I just used Drysol for the the first time last night and I am blown away! I have had axillary hyperhidrosis for 10 years. I am now 24 and let me tell you, I WISH I would have had the guts to go to the doctor and get this prescription back when I was a teenager! I used this product once last night and my shirt has been dry all day! That hasn't happened in 10 years. I really am about to cry while writing this because having hyperhidrosis is a nightmare. Anyone who has it, I know you feel my pain. I'm glad that this product actually works. I feel like I can finally breathe. I can finally buy shirts that are not black! I won't have to wear a sweater or jacket in the summer anymore. I can wear whatever I want!!!!!!

I do want to mention that my skin really burned after I put Drysol on last night, but to have a dry shirt today, it was so worth it!

I used it for the first time tonight and put it on a cotton ball and dabbed it around my armpits but a few minutes later my armpits were sweating! So then I inserted the dabber thing into it and I put some more on (and this time I rubbed it in and i just read that you are not supposed to rub it in!). Have I made a huge mistake or will it still work tomorrow morning?

I have suffered from hyperhidrosis also for about 8 years. Started when I was 18-19. I suffered every day for years with no hope. I read this site and decided that after reading all of the positive reviews, it was my turn to try it out. I went to the drug store and got a bottle over the counter (I'm in Canada) and let me tell you, it's the best $20 I've ever spent. I started using it 5 days ago and I went from wet to bone dry the morning after my first application! A ten ton brick has been lifted from my shoulders. I considered botox injections, but I'm a student and I can't afford it without insurance coverage, also waaay too expensive in general. Even though it's covered by Medicare here, surgery sounded too risky, (high risk of compensatory sweating, etc) so I decided I would have to put up with it until at least I could afford botox, take the $900 hit every 4-6 months. Not anymore. I'm going to use this product for the rest of my life. Thank you everyone for the feedback as it was my last hope and it worked. Thank you also to the makers of Drysol, you have made my life 10 times better this week than it has been for YEARS.

I was diagnosed with hyperhydrosis (exessive sweating) when I was 13 and in eighth grade, which is a really akward age to begin with. Anyway I went to my Doctor and told her about it and she tried to give me some off the wall answer that I was too young and my hormones were just out of wack....yeah right...time to go to a different doctor...this one gave me drysol...I noticed that it burned so bad the first time I put it on but I really didnt care, It was worth it if it would just stop the humiliating sweat. The first day I used it the sweat stains were so much smaller and the second time they were completely gone. I only had to use drysol every other night for two weeks before it completely went away. I am now 21 years old and have not applied the deodorant in 8 years and my hyperhydrosis is still yet to be seen. Good luck with it and try not to be discouraged by the sweat because now that I am older and have talked to my friends about things like this...about 2/3 of my friends had the same problem but were too shy to go to a doc.

I just picked my drysol up from the pharmacy, and I will start using it tonight though I have a few questions.... so if i wear it tonight then the morning i wake up and shower do I put no deodorant on or do I? Then if I continue use with drysol for a few nights, the night I do not use it do I use a deodorant in the morning on the days I dont apply drysol? If so what should i wear? Thanks a lot!

When I started going through puberty and what not I started sweating which is normal except it started getting out of control. My armpits were the major problem, but I also noticed my groin and palms got a little more sweaty than normal at times. I would always wear hoodies to school to hide my sweating and I always felt gross. The weird thing was, I would only sweat at school. When I was at home, at another family members house, or sleeping I didn't sweat at all. So I'm guessing that I'm just tense at school or something. I dealt with this problem for about 3 years (junior high). And then sometime in eighth grade I talked to my mom about it and we went to my doctor. She prescribed drysol and we picked it up from the pharmacy on the way home. I was so excited to use it. After the first night of using it, I noticed hardly any sweating. So I used it for about 2 more nights and my armpits were completely dry. Dryness would last for about a week and a half or so and then I'd have to reapply. Now I'm a freshman in highschool and I'm already having some problems with my sweating again. I've noticed that my body is almost getting used to it because I'm having to apply it just about every other night if I want to be dry. The skin on my armpits is also really tough and a brownish color. With summer coming I would really like to not have brown armpits but I dont want to be sweaty either. Is any one else experiencing this immunity to it and the brown skin?? The pamphlet thing says that having the discoloration is a common side effect, but it doesnt seem like any one else is having this problem. Does anyone know if any of those all natural type pills you can take for overractive sweating work??

Drysol is great. When I first used drysol it worked for about a week and then I started sweating again. But I didn't give up, I read somewhere that after you apply drysol at night cover the area with clear plastic wrap and a fitted t-shirt. And it worked, drysol may sting at times but to me it's worth it.

you're kidding yourself if you say this stuff doesnt work. here's how it goes: you apply it to your armpits (or wherever you sweat) and go to bed. wake up, it stills wont be working at it's max (found this out myself, got it and put it on night before first day of school and still sweat but MUCH less). so next night you put it on again, and maybe even the 3rd night. after that you're basically set for the rest of the week. then you apply it once/twice/3 times a week and it's solved. anymore and it WILL start to burn. (found that out myself as well). i'm always paranoid that i didnt put on enough so i do it again and again. DONT DO THAT! i couldnt sleep all night it burnt so bad. but if you apply it every now and then it'll keep you safe and sweat-free. it's like changed my life basically, i'm not paranoid anymore, i feel comfortable lifting my arms without worrying and i cant wear the stuff i want. definately buy it, it's worth how much it is and i get a new bottle about every 3 months. SWEET PRODUCT!

Normally, I never write reviews on this sort of thing. But I promised myself that if I ever found a product for excess perspiration that actually works, that I would write a review. So here I am writing.
Guys, quite frankly, this stuff works. While I did experience some discomfort at night, it was very little. And the next day, I was dry as a bone, making the small tweaks of pain pretty unimportant.

Here are my directions for using Drysol, based off of what I do. It works for me. First, dry the armpit to make sure it's has no wetness whatsoever. Then take the applicator and press it to the bottle's opening. Tip the bottle to wet the applicator (make sure you don't spill anything, this stuff is expensive! Try doing this in a well-lit area with little distractions), then apply it on the underarm. Don't rub it in, just put it on. You can also apply it to any other problem area, again, without rubbing. Next, lay on your bed, arms up, to allow the product to dry. People have suggested using a blow dryer, but this tends to irritate my skin, so refrain from it unless you want it to dry quickly. When the product has fully dried, wear a tight fitting t-shirt and sleep. If you feel a lot of pain, DONT ITCH. It could cause the product to never work again. Instead, I suggest listening to music as you lay down, clenching your armpit muscles in and out, and laying on your back. These all worked for me. The next morning, wash your armpits with some soap and lukewarm water. Don't apply any deodorant or antiperspirant other than your nightly Drysol. And voila =] Dry.

Trust me, just try it. I can't believe it even worked. I think that nobody can really understand how horrible the whole HH problem is unless they've experienced it. I have, and I know how bad it is. Not wanting to raise your hand during class and so doing poorly on classes and tests, not wanting to hug your friends, changing shirts all the time, not wanting to play instruments or sports, not wanting to do art projects, not wanting to go on dates, having to wear only black and sweaters. It isn't fair, and you can't let it stop you from living life. If you've tried every antiperspirant on the shelf and all the home remedies, and you're just about to give up, please try Drysol. It changed my life, and I'm hoping it'll change yours.

My daughter tried Drysol with no luck. Maxim has been working incredibly for her. I would recommend that anyone with excessive sweating please try this product. It is changing her life.

To put this bluntly, this product works. This, mind you, is coming from a 21 year old male of thin complexion. After having this dilemma for several years, I've discovered excessive perspiration only gets worse over time. The problem got to point where it was embarrassing to go out, even to a close friends house. Soaking through two shirts at a time, I knew something had to be done to stop this problem. At first, when I began searching the internet, I came across several websites implying that to end this condition(hyperhydrosis), I would need surgery or botox injections. Let me tell you, this may work, but it is a rather drastic measure. Fortunately, that's when I discovered this website. After tediously reading through all the user's comments, I was impressed that so many people said how great the product had worked for them. Seeing as how I live in Canada, I went to my local Shoppers Drug Mart's pharmaceutical department and purchased Drysol over the counter for roughly $20. So at night, when I applied the anti-pirspirant, I expected an intense burning according to some of the comments I had read. Believe me, the "pain" was actually a minimal itching that lasted for about 10 minutes tops. And what do you know? The very next morning I experienced something that I hand't for years, dryness. The only advice I can give, is follow the directions and you won't be let down. I would recommend Drysol to anybody.

can I use drysol during the day ? because I forgot to use the night before? which was my first night using it.

I'm 16 and I've been using Drysol for about 6 months now, and basically it worked great for the first 4-5 but lately the burning is absolutely KILLING me! My armpits have this hideous brown and red rash which looks disgusting against the pale skin on my arms. I can barely even move my arms without crying from the pain. I apply different types of lotion everyday (like Jergens and this Vitamin E stuff) but nothing has changed. Not to mention I'm still getting humungous sweat stains and I honestly can't even work in school because it's so uncomfortable for me to lift my arms to write and feel all wet and gross =( Drysol sucks, I need something new!

Hey Everyone. Have tried Drysol for a couple weeks now with huge dissapointment. The day after I applied it for the first night I didnt sweat a drop, and the next day or too was great also...but ever since then it has gotten progressively worse to the point where Im back to huge sweat stains again! Argh! I applied it for about a week straight when I started, when maybe I should have given it a break since it worked immediatly...Think that would have caused the failure? Guess I'll stop for a while and then try starting again. I am soooo frustrated

If you have a prescription, can you only get this in canada? Or will pharmacys in US have them available?

I have had a underarm sweating problem since puberty and didn't try drysol until my dermatologist suggested it. Wow, this stuff works-If only I had this product 15 years ago! It itched the first couple of times I used it but now I only use it a couple times per week and I don't feel it at all. I followed someone's suggestion by applying vaseline just around the outside of where you armpit hair grows. This made a big difference. It's so exciting to shop for coloured t-shirts (I haven't worn black in months!).

wow i feel SO relieved that i'm not the only one experiencing this problem and that it is a problem and not something caused by my crappy diet (like my dad says). I just got Drysol perscribed to me and got it on now, gotta tell ya it does tingle more than i'd like it to. I'm wondering tomorrow after i shower can i put my deodorant on like normal? Or can i not wear that at all? The directions say not to use deodorant while you use the Drysol, but does that mean just not while i have it on or not while i'm using it at all? I'm really hoping this works because for about 9 years now i've had this problem and although not the worst out there but it's definately something that will ruin your day since i start sweating the moment i get dressed, even when i'm not moving or when it's freezing! Wish me luck!

Ok, I have never entered in a comment on one of these message boards. But, I have to say thank you to all of you that were so helpfull in writing in your comments on this product. I have had a serious underarm sweating problem for the last 7 years. I have worn black and wool sweaters for years. I cannot even buy any tops that I cant think about if this would hide a sweat stain. I tried maxim a few years ago and it was horrible....it worked a bit but i couldnt take the skin irritation.it was horrible. So, I just tried drysol and yes I have a bit of skin irritation but after one application I did not sweat a drop the next day. I applied the second night and at work the following day...not a drop of sweat. Someone suggested using lotion on your underarms in the morning to help relieve the irritation. I have to tell you, try this. Dont be a wimp about the burning. It is so worth it. Just dont apply to any sensitive areas if they are burning for a few days. I was at the end of my rope and this has completely given me a new outlook. Only someone that suffered from this problem can really understand how horrible it is. So buck up and apply it for a few days and use lotion to help keep the area moisturized during the day. Then skip a few days to give your skin a break. Then after about 3 days go for it. Just keep alternating until you feel comfortable. Trust me this really works!! ;-)
