Driclor- Works great if applied correctly

Advantages: The product and it's effects last ages
Disadvantages: Stings if you apply too much

Driclor is a treatment for excessive sweating of the arm pits. I was recommended this by a friend last summer when everyday i had to wear a cardigan to cover up the sweat patches i knew would appear, this, in turn, made me hotter though and it was a vicious circle. My friend said that she used to have this problem and when she went to the doctors they recommended Driclor. The next day went to Boots Pharmacy counter and asked for some, I got a 60ml ...
...Once i have used driclor the advantages seem to stick around for about 1-2 weeks. The results are that you basically stop sweating in your armpits, i know when i need to apply some more becasue i start to get a damp armpit and i know that the driclor effects are wearing off. I've had the same bottle of Driclor for about a year now and when i shake it it still sounds about half full. I would definitely recommend this to a friend, it lasts a long time ...

Review of Driclor

Dry as a Bone

Advantages: stops sweating, long lasting
Disadvantages: has a chemical smell

...wear off. I saw PerspireX on the shelf next to the other deodorants and picked it up as it was bright Blue in colour and the top of the box had a triangle shape, which made it stand out from all the others. PersprieX costs around £7.00 for 25ml, which is expensive compared to other anti-perspirants. The difference between paying £7.00 for an anti-perspirant or paying around £2.00 is that PerspireX really does stop you from sweating. PerspireX (as ...
...Now that is amazing. PerspireX needs to be applied at night as the sweat glands produce less sweat at night, which makes the anti-perspirant more effective. In the morning you wash it off and it doesn’t need to be re-applied for another 3 days or so, as PerspireX leaves a film of anti-perspirant on your armpits. It may seem strange but even after washing your armpits, they still seem to be dry! If there is one piece of advice that you should take ...

Review of PerspireX

Elixir of Life

Advantages: REALLY STOPS hyperhidrosis for days
Disadvantages: Burning, itching

...nicer. [The Product] Perspi-Guard offers a 5 day protection. Based on the instructions on the back (and personal usage), Perspi-Guard is applied on clean, dry skin at night. Shake well and spray liberally, massaging it into the skin. Not just for underarms, it can also be used on hands and feet. Perspi-Guard has no real smell so real deodorant can be applied during the day. This I highly recommend, although Perspi-Guard really really reduces sweating, ...
...nice smell will mask any potential problems [ I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder... I always think the worst ;) ]. The bottle itself comes in 50ml but lasts a long time, especially since the pump doesn't use much and also since you only need to use it every few days. Like all stronger antiperspirants, irritation is very common. Adding on shaved underarms is a big no-no and you can expect a worse nights sleep on it. I've had armpit burning a few ...

Review of Perspi-Guard 5 Day Prescription Strength Antiperspirant

My lynx of choice - Lynx Vice

Advantages: Smells nice, subtle yet noticeable.
Disadvantages: Maybe slightly feminine???

...is my favourite of the lynx range. Now of course this is partially because as I may have mentioned in my other reviews, it's had quite a few comments compared to most, which surprised me as it's fairly subtle. It's not like some deodorants which are more of a fragrance; it's soft and easy to smell. I'd almost go as far as saying its feminine, as it's slightly fruity smelling. However I wouldn't go quite this far, and don't' worry it won't make you ...
...you get the Dry version it seems to cut down on perspiration which is always a good thing. Anyway if you want a Lynx for going out it, or just wearing everyday (as a lot are only suitable for one for the other) this is the Lynx for you! ...

Review of Lynx Deodorant Spray

Ineffective and uncomfortable

Advantages: Price is ok
Disadvantages: Doesn't work, sticky, little fragrance

After reading the many online reviews praising this product i decided to buy it. I am a person who sweats more than most, i find that i generally have a wet patch under my arm most of the time, it isn't overally excessive but it's very irritating and means i can't wear a t-shirt alone or everyone can see. (i'm not unhealthy, i'm 5ft 2 and about 8 stone) I bought both the spray on(shower fresh) and the roll on variety(acitve). I sweated straight through ...
...it. The roll on is a very sticky product, i found i had to stand with my arms in the air for ages to let it dry and i eventually had to pat it to make it dry. I also sweat straight through this, it stained my clothes (not that i would have minded if it had worked) and made me feel very uncomfortable during the entire day. I felt like i needed to have a shower to get rid of it. I stuck with the products despite this for 2 weeks alternating between ...
