Preserved my son’s personality – Two years ago, my son age 12, started sweating profusely on his palms. I had never heard of hyperhydrosis, and dismissed it as a sign of puberty starting. He is a keen and skilled guitarist. He was becoming distressed by the neck of his guitar being so wet and slippery, and his wet fingertips being damaged by the strings. His enthusiasm for… Read more

practising and performing waned, and he was becoming introverted. He would no longer hold our hands. It was becoming a problem at school, unable to hold plastic pens and smudged work, wet pages.

His happy personality and easy smile was fading away.

We found Driclor, and started nightly application. We quickly saw improvement, and not long after had an appointment with a dermatologist at lady cliento children’s hospital in Brisbane. She was fantastic and confirmed Driclor as first line treatment, and safe to use indefinitely. Apparently, symptoms often reduce naturally by the mid 20s.

Now, I apply it twice a week, once he is asleep to ensure hands are dry. His hands are now usually dry, but occasionally clammy. There is no irritation if applied to dry skin.

His confidence and happy personality is restored. It was important not to talk about it too much, because it made him feel “abnormal”. Occasionally, he says I don’t need it anymore, but within a week or two without, the palms start dripping again. I just resume the routine and back to dry within a week. Last tip is to apply plenty on the fingertips, they took longest to improve.

So far, it’s great!! – My doctor recommended this for me yesterday as I explained any and all antiperspirants don’t control my excessive, and embarrassing sweating problem. Suffering from excessive sweating is a pain in my back side - I’m a girl, so going to work and school and having huge sweat patches under my arms, and not being able to hold a boyfriends hand is… Read more

painful!! My dad (thanks dad), has the same issue and was in the clinical trial for the Botox, but I’m not really looking for some lovely needles into my armpits and hands/feet.

With summer practically here and my anxiety rising, I decided, I NEED TO SEE MY DOCTOR! She recommended driclor and I’ve been self conscious as to if it’s actually working or not. I feel wet, but I don’t look it. So, like I said, so far so good!!

It is itchy when I put it on. Doesn’t sting for me, but itches like crazy. But watch a movie or something to take your mind off it. I’m hoping it will go away but aye, when your asleep you won’t feel it!

Today, at school. I didn’t have to wear my cardigan in the 35 degree Celsius Australian heat to cover up sweat marks. I didn’t have any!!

Changed My Life In 24 Hours – Since I was 14 I've had very excessive sweating from my armpits, I would change clothes 4-5 times a day, avoid going out sometimes, would always be self conscious. I always thought this wouldn't work or that it would take too long, nevertheless I decided to give it a shot and after the 1st application I did a 12 hour bar shift and didn't sweat… Read more

once. Forgot to apply it again that night but the next day I was still completely dry. I genuinely can't believe how well this works. I was considering surgery, botox and the expensive microwave operation, but now I can use this very affordable very effective deodorant. Okay so it is a bit irritating the first couple of times you apply it but it doesn't hurt, just itches and this goes away after the first few applications. If you have a problem with sweating I HIGHLY RECOMMEND driclor. I'm still in shock and constantly checking my underarms expecting them to be drenched but it's been a week now and I've not sweat at all. I'm so happy, this has changed my life, confidence has skyrocketed.

Amazing if you can get through some of the discomfort – I used Driclor as my last resort just before I had made a decision to start botox injections. I ruined all my shirts for years and even when it was snowing outside my underarms were always vile and wet - somewhat embarrassing. There was a bit of discomfort that came with using Driclor every day - itchy and a but tingly whilst you are trying to… Read more

sleep. I used it for about 6 months and I have never looked back. I literally used it for only 6 months over 10 years ago and till this day I no longer have any sweat patches. Worth its weight in gold if you ask me.

Excellent Product that actually works!!!! – Driclor Antiperspirant Roll On Applicator Okay I tried &tested this through my teens and I found it Brilliant IT WORKS!!! You could try all the deodorants on the market and they might not be enough to fix the problem that's where driclor comes in to help. I have Not used it in a long time as I didn't have the need to use this but I can honestly… Read more

say if your having a sweat patch problem you need to try this! Sweating is Normal even if you shower everyday and have brilliant hygiene you can still sweat a bit too much at times it could be down to e.g anxiety stress hormones etc where your body can produce a bit too much sweat. Driclor anti perspirant roll on is suitable for use on all skin types and by anyone for whom traditional anti-perspirants are inadequate. I have done a post about this product on my Instagram beauty blog "xtines_beauty_obsessions"

Itches like hell – Product used as any lay person would use. Two swipes to dry armpits. A week on, still itching. Accepted that I have sensible skin, but other deodorants roll-on and spray work to a point without the itching. Not recommended. Show details

Banish sweat! – I've given the product one star because even though it has stopped me sweating a lot from my arm pits it has made my life hell. I used the product a few years ago and I reacted pretty badly to it - I got a rash and it was very nippy. Ever since, I haven't sweated at all from my underarms besides the smallest bit. I wanted to reduce the amount of… Read more

sweat I produced in my arm pit region as i used to sweat a lot and at the time I thought it was very embarrassing. Now that I don't sweat from my under arms, instead, I get very hot flushes and feel faint a lot and I think this is due to the lack of sweating. When it's warm I'll sweat a lot from my face and head and if it's really hot I find it unbearable. Is there anything I can do to stop these hot flushes and allow my body to cool down and stop sweating so much from my head? If I could go back I wouldn't touch the product.

Be very careful with this product! – I used this product on my feet and followed the instructions exactly. On the second night my feet felt tingly/burny and weird so I stopped using it. Two days later I had an awful painful swollen red rash appear! I couldn't walk and was experiencing severe nerve pain. Unfortunately the first doctor I saw misdiagnosed the rash as an infection, after… Read more

three more days of pain and being unable to sleep (and having to take time off work - literally unable to walk) the second doctor I saw said straight away it was severe contact dermatitis and gave me the right treatment. It's been three weeks now and me feet are still pink and the skin is peeling and gross.

The take home message from my experience is that you need to be careful with this product, do a test patch first to check that you are not going to react like I did. And the second you feel any burny/itchyness wash it off, stop using it and prepare to go to the doctor ASAP.

Having said all these negative things, a lot of people have had success using Drichlor so if you do have a sweating problem it is worth giving it a shot but be careful.

10/10 (if you can get past the irritation) – This product was my last resort before considering botox under my arms. I had tried various other products that had no effect at all to the point where I thought Botox would be the only option. My excessive sweating had a huge impact on my confidence to the point where I would only wear dark clothing and even then I would not walk around in just a… Read more

t shirt due to fears of embarrassment, which only excelled my sweating to the point where I would sweat through 2/3 items of clothing. I have only used this product for around 3 weeks however I could see results almost instantly. My excessive underarm sweating is almost none existent and has given me a huge boost in confidence and has allowed me to feel comfortable in wearing whatever I want without any fear of sweat patches. However, it doesn’t come without its flaws. The irritation can be an issue when it comes to applying the product especially if using multiple times a week. I personally occasionally get small rashes under my arms which can be painful. This however for me is worth it for how it has boosted my confidence however I can understand why some complain about the pain and irritation as I can be an issue.

Great! – I ordered from the UK using a small online chemist. Much cheaper. Really good product. Apply for one week and if it stings apply skin calming lotion. Then apply 2 x a week. I do it every second day and sometimes more when stressed. A load off my mind and I don’t perspire and have wet shirts.  Show details ·  3

Super Sweaty Armpits NO MORE – Thank you DRICLOR. You saved my life. I don't need to worry about wearing light color polo and tshirts because my armpits do not sweat anymore.

#1 on the market – I've been using Driclor since I was in year 7 (2002). Its 100% effective! I use it on my underarms, hands and feet. Yes, it stings and itches. The trick is to AVOID scratching, as hard as it is. the more you scratch, the worse it itches. keep your composure. If you must, scratch by jabbing your fingernail into the spot. Back and forth… Read more

scratching will irritate much more.

Apply it only on nights when you're EXHAUSTED and will plonk into bed and fall asleep quickly.

Hands and feet are easy, they barely itch, and effect lasts a few weeks/over a month, from one application.

My local chemists stopped stocking. So I reverted to try "No Sweat" products. Much less itching, but effects only last 1-2 days... so continuous application is required.

Amazing! – I have suffered with Hyperhidrosis in my hands and feet since I was born. I am now 19 years old and it was severely affected my confidence in handling basic day to day tasks every single day. l am SO IMPRESSED with this product. At first I thought that a deodorant wouldn’t do anything. Was very wrong! Couldn’t go a day without sweating, and now I don’t sweat at all! I’m so so happy with this product. Slightly sticks but completely worth it!!!

It works but stings – I have suffered from facial hyperhidrosis for years. It has affected my work performance and my career. I just used Driclor yesterday. Today I was not sweat at all. However it so stung when I applied it on my face. The awful sting feeling lasted an hour. I washed and let my face so dry before I put it on, but still got irritation. Anyone has the same issue?

Fantastic product – I've been using Driclor for about 37 years and think it's fantastic! I used to sweat so badly that within a half hour of showering, and applying antiperspirant, sweat was trickling down my arms! I had to wear a cardigan inside my work uniform to soak it up otherwise I'd have big wet patches. Other clothes had to be black. This transformed my… Read more

life. After a few uses the sweating stopped. I could wear any colour I wanted! I then gradually used it less and less. After all of these years I use once every couple of months. It stings but it so worth it.

Life Saving – I am one of the few people who suffers from excessive sweating. It is very embarrassing causing my confidence and self esteem to get really low. I tried a lot of products none of them worked. I even tried oral medications that will lower down or control my sweating. Then I camE across this pharmacy and searched as usual, I saw this Driclor… Read more

Antiperspirant and didn't even think twice to get it. I followed the instructions and the next day, when I got to work I only wore a sleeveless inside my uniform. And it was really amazing coz I didn't get wet patches under my arms.. It's really amazing!! I just hope you also have a wonder product for sweaty palms to totally change my life. Thanks so much.

This is perfect !! – all of my life I have struggled with excessive sweatin. I could be sweating even when I am just sitting there doing nothing, nervous sweat or hot sweat or even when it's cold weather. In secondary school I would always wear a cardigan or my blazer regardless of the weather as I would get huge wet patches under my arm. Since I left I have always… Read more

wore dark coloured tops or if I was to go to an event I would always wear blazer to cover my armpits. I am now 25 and still suffer and my only last option was botox but I refused. I researched on the internet what else could I do as normal deodorant with anti-persiprant was not working. I then went into my local supermarket and asked the pharmacy for advice and he advised me on this. OMG it is absolutely perfect. this is my 1st day and it's very hot where I am, and not once did I sweat and not once did I get a wet patch and Instead of wearing black I actually wore an orange top. I used this product just as the leaflet said and I have not had any rashes, irratation, inflammation or anything, I have reacted to it perfectly.

Uhmmmmm...mixed feelings – This product works. I was going to be a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding and I was nervous bout getting sweat patches on the dress because I know myself. A friend had recommended it last year and I thought let me try it. The entire day of the wedding I didn't sweat and this was shocking because hey, I know myself :). Since 7th grade I've been… Read more

sweating excessively. HOWEVER...this product burns and itches like there is no tomorrow. My gosh!!! The one time I couldn't sleep cause it was just too much. I stopped using it but my armpits continue to itch and my armpits have become darker :(

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING – cannot actually believe nobody told me about this stuff before! Found that it's worked fantastically after just two days. Yes it burns a little but just ensure no material covering armpits overnight and let air get to them.

Does what is says – Like 99% of the reviews here, this product works. I was sick of sweating and staining business shirts from sweating, etc. After using this product for a few days it stopped. I now apply it once or twice per week only. I don’t understand the 1 star some people here have given it, they obviously have ultra sensitive skin, which is a bit… Read more

unfair on Driclor really as the product instructions say to ‘test it’ for sensitivity, and I don’t work for the company.

I would call it a life saver !!! Driclor it is – I have a problem of excessive facial sweating. Earlier I could not attend meetings, could not do presentations, could not shake hands with others in office. My life was like hell. I used to curse myself every moment. The day I started using Driclor on my forehead, my life has changed from hell to heaven. It is very simple to use, just follow the… Read more

instructions. I have been using it for more than a month now. Please do let me know in case you have any questions. Post your questions to my email id - [email address removed]. Happy to help!!

It has changed my life so I want others also to do so whoever are suffering from excessive sweating problem or hyperhydrosis.

Life changer!!! – Driclor is a life changer!!! I have had sweaty palms and feet my entire life and it has caused many issues from not being able to grip a tennis racquet properly to not being able to try on shoes at the shopping centre for fear of stinking the place out. Would highly recommend. Make sure that you put it on right before going to sleep, cool the… Read more

room down if possible to prevent any moisture when applying. When you wake up in the morning, wash it off thoroughly, and repeat!! I did it for three or four days straight to start with, and now apply twice a week.

Love this – So I'm a girl. And ever since I turned 12 I would sweat like crazy, and I remember when I was 13 and I started high school I was so embarrassed to put my hand up coz I'd always have the worst sweat patch ever. Even when it was cold I would sweat. So one day my dad has always had driclor and he told me to use it, I swear to god this is a life… Read more

saver now I don't sweat at all and I'm 15, i've stopped sweating from my armpits completely. I just got my brother to use it and he also stopped sweating completely from his armpits. This product really does work

It does work. Maybe too well – In the summer, my forehead can become embarrassingly sweaty, my fringe gets wet and I decided to give this a try. I put it on for several days. After about a week, my forehead became dry-looking so now I put it on every third day and that does the trick without the overly-dry effect.

Could not believe how well it worked! – I have never written a review for anything before, but I had to for this product. I have tried every other deodorant imaginable, and none have worked to prevent heavy sweating. Driclor, however, works flawlessly. My armpits are bone-dry all day long, and a single application lasts for days. I can now wear shirts of any colour without worrying… Read more

Absolutely incredible product, I could not be more impressed. Would recommend to anyone. 11/10.

Unbelievable!!! – As a 17 year old bloke who was embarrassed about his sweating habbits i was amazed to find this product stopped me sweating so much after the first day of use. Other reviews say it hurts and/or irritates, i did not get this however which may be due to non sensitive skin. I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone with sweating issues.

It works! – Good product from GSK. Very useful and effective! It stings and some skin can occur, make sure apply on dry skin, you can see the benefits after 1-2 weeks. Highly recommended.

So happy after 20 years of trying everything! – I've suffered with underarm sweat since high school. I've tried every antiperspirant on the market, even combinations of different brands to try to make the sweating stop. Ive had some temporary success in the past, but after my most recent combo inevitably started to fail, I turned to the chemist for advice...and I'm so glad! Driclor has worked… Read more

from the first application. Yes it stings and itches. I've even had to wash it off after 15 minutes a couple of times, but it still works! I only wish I'd have known about it sooner. Fantastic product!

Driclor verses No More Sweat – I was wondering if any one had compared Driclor to No More Sweat. I have been using No More Sweat after giving up on Driclor due to burning, skin irritation and red bumps. No More Sweats works just as well, only needs to be used once or twice per week and does not irritate the skin. I cannot recommend it more. They have a money back guarantee. So well worth trying.

Wish I started using it sooner – Don't normally write reviews but said I would for this. Really impressed with the product. I'm 21 and in the last couple of years have had a really bad problem with sweating especially under my arms, regardless of whether I was hot/cold anxious or not. I wouldn't be wear certain clothing and was really embarrassed as I would actually sweat… Read more

through hoodies etc.

From the first time I used it it worked straight away! Not a sight of a sweat mark under my arms when I know 100% I would've had them halfway down my arms otherwise. It was a really hot day and I was rushing around but my arms were bone dry! I used it 2 nights in a row and haven't used it since (it's been a week) and still no sweating. I'll probably reapply tomorrow.

Looking at other review I was a bit worried about using it as people said they got irritated skin and it was stinging quite a bit. You do get a bit of stinging but it's not bad at all! Nothing to worry about and only lasts about 5 mins. The results are worth it 100%.

Highly recommend!

does the trick – Day 1 - only put a little bit on underarms chest neck and all over my face! Lucky enough no reaction. Bit of a improvement not drasic thou day 2. I smoothered my self last night more so than day one woke up washed it off would normally be sweating it up just by washing the dishes - no sweat great! Now i put it to the test and put a full face of make up one bare in mind i am forever reapplying it as it just sweats off but no! So far so good
