What is Driclor -?
Driclor is an anti-perspirant designed to help excessive perspiration; it is a clear liquid roll- on. It contains Aluminium Chloride which is (for all those that don't know) an anti-perspirant that helps control sweating. It does this by blocking your sweat glands and then releases the sweat naturally through other areas of your body. Quite ingenious really.
How to apply Driclor -

Make sure your arm pits are dry before applying as this may cause some skin irritation.
Roll on lightly to the area once a day at night time and then wash off in the morning, and then use your normal deodorant during the day.

During the summer months I do suffer, (well I did suffer ) from excessive sweating, I have tried all sorts of deodorants and found one in particular that did work fairly well, during the winter months that is, but once the hot weather came I found I was using it loads. All the claims that normal deodorants last 12 or 24 hours is a load of rubbish to put it mildly, they don't, well they don't for me.
Then I saw an advert on the T.V which was actually for Perspirex, so when I went and did my weekly shop I had a look for it and found it but sat right next to it was Driclor, which claims to do exactly the same but much cheaper so I decided on trying Driclor.

It comes in a small 20ml bottle and is like any other roll on deodorant. Which I might add now you have to put together yourself. ??? Why I have no idea but your have to put the roller ball on which is a bit fiddly but once done it's done. Make sure your arm pits are dry before applying as this may cause some skin irritation.

Claims -
It says after 1 or 2 weeks you are supposed to see a dramatic difference and then you can reduce the amount of times you use it.
Does it work -?
Definitely YES, I have been using it for weeks and weeks now and I have now found I only need to use it once maybe twice a week, I think it is the best thing since sliced bread. Like I said at the start I did used to suffer quite bad, I could not wear tight fitted tops because it was embarrassing as I found I had wet marks on my top, but even my friends have commented on me wearing tight fitting tops now, but that's because I feel completely comfortable and confident, so now I can wave my hands in the air and know there are going to be no unsightly patches. I can tell you it's a real confident boost. It has a slight smell to it a bit clinical if that makes sense but defiantly not unpleasant, but it's only for the night because you apply your own normal deodorant in the morning.
Side Effects -
It does sting or tingle a bit after you put it on but for me it doesn't last that long, when I first used it I had just had a shower and shaved my arm pits and I put loads on. A big no no, boy that did sting, I guess I should have read the instructions first. So only put a light covering on, that's all you need. But after that I did as it said and to honest the more I used it the tingle became less and less, so please read the instructions first. Don't apply to broken or irritated skin. It does say it has no harmful effects on pregnant or breasting feeding mothers.
Conclusion -
Without a shadow of a doubt I think it's great, it does what it says it does and for such a small bottle it will last me ages, worth every penny.
9/10 they only reason why it's not 10/10 is because of the slight tingly feeling you get.
I'm sure that this product does not suit everyone, i know some people have had some bad reactions from it, but all i would say is try it, it does work for me and if it does works for you it is a gods send.
Price -
I brought mine from Sainsburys which costs £5.65 but can be as little as £3.97 from the internet. I think you will be able to find it almost any where now.
Thank you for reading.
Once again PLEASE read the instructions before you use.
Advantages: Stops excessive swaeting, reasonably priced Disadvantages: Can cause skin irritation
...recommended a product called Driclor. Driclor is a roll on product made up of aluminium chloride available from the chemists and can be bought off the shelf without prescription or online if you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed buying it (quick and easy) and it costs between £3.99 and £5.99 for a 20ml bottle (cheap) That's all but one box ticked…unfortunately the painless box gets a resounding cross! (Sorry if I've spoiled the ending for you now!)
... ...for days not hours. Driclor Solution has been specifically formulated to treat excessive perspiration. It works by forming a gel matrix in the effected sweat glands, which reduces and eventually stops the flow of sweat. Excess sweat is reabsorbed into the body and disposed of in the normal way. Within just a few weeks of use, excessive perspiration should disappear and sufferers should feel cool and dry. Driclor is suitable for use on all skin types ...

Advantages: Stops sweating for some people Disadvantages: Everything you will read below
...I brought my bottle of Driclor in Boots and it cost me £5.99 for a 20ml bottle. This might sound expensive but as it is in effect a roll on deodorant of sorts, this bottle should last quite a long time. This leads me to the first gripe I have though. When you open the box it comes in, you will find that you have to actually put the bottle together. They supply you with the bottle of deodorant with a lid on it and then the roller ball separately. ... ...it down any further.
Driclor is a clinically proven anti-perspirant for the treatment of excessive perspiration and is especially suitable for people who perspire under normal conditions. Well, this is what the box says anyway. I agree it does resemble a normal roll on anti-perspirant although the smell is more like veruca gel! Not very pleasant but this is not really apparent after application though thank goodness. Following the instructions in ...

Advantages: Does decrease sweating Disadvantages: Itching, burning sensation
...I settled on Driclor after reading the reviews on here, and I bought mine with minimal embarassment from the chemist for £4.49 on special offer. I'd seen the cautions about not using too much and also read about the potential side effects (itching, burning sensations) so it was with a little trepidation that I opened the box ready to use. As per recommendations I made sure my armpits were dry and I hadn't shaved them for over 24 hours, just to be ... ...middle of my armpit and I left it to dry before going to bed. There was a bit of itching initially which did quickly give way to a tingling sensation but that didn't last all that long and I went to sleep as normal. The next morning I washed as normal and put on deodorant. During the day I did feel like I was sweating but my underarms seemed to be drier and I was more comfortable. The next application however was a different story. I followed the ...

Advantages: It really works! Will leave you sweat free for days! Disadvantages: Can sting if you apply to much!
...how much for?== I purchased Driclor from Boots which cost me £7, a little pricey for such a small deodorant, I initially thought... ==First Application== I read the instructions and applied Driclor last thing at night. However what I think the instructions were lacking from was how much to apply. Obviously I was excited to think that this product could stop my sweating completely and therefore applied quite a bit of Driclor. BIG MISTAKE! After about ... ...little red. I washed off Driclor and went about my normal day. I didn't sweat at all that day, and was completely astonished by the product, it had actually worked! ==Further Applications== I attempted to re-apply the following night but because my skin had been irritated from the following night the burning sensation was worse so I washed it off. However I soon realised I did not need to reapply that night as I was sweat free for a further 4 days. ...

Advantages: Stops sweat Disadvantages: Stings if not careful with.
...Anyway. I tried Driclor this Monday; I bought it from a local chemist. All I can say is, amazing!!!
Like most people have said, it stings. But I think I was like the rest of us idiots, I tried shaving my pits in hope that less hair would help, then read about Driclor online that night, so bought straight away, and the following night put it on. Now I had never shaved my pits before, so of course it was tingly just from trying that out of desperation, ... ...OOOOUUCCH!. I was on fire all night. I also applied it crazy, like I did a normal roll on, not a wise move. I just grit and took the pain from it all night, although I did fall asleep eventually. Then the wonder happened.
I had a shower Tuesday morning, put on my suit. Left my apartment and proceeded to walk down town, in a the warm humid weather, to get to the office. Now like always, I was feeling quite warm by time I did a quick 25min stroll ...

Advantages: Easy to use Disadvantages: Foul smell, didn't work, caused irritation
I have suffered with sweating for as long as I can remember and I tried every deodorant under the sun to try to combat the problem.
I initially tried Driclor, a strong antiperperant containing aluminium chloride and while this worked for a while it caused me a great deal of irritation and burnt my skin.
So when I saw perspirex I thought I would give it a go. It contained Aluminium chloride, but it wasn't as much as is in the Driclor so I thought it might not be AS effective but it would be worth it if my sweating was reduced without all the irritation, and how wrong could I be?
I paid around £6 for a smaller than average size bottle of this deodorant (I'm not sure exactly what size it is, I think about 20ml). The instructions were easy to follow. Apply at night to clean, dry armpits that are NOT recently shaved. Wash off in ...

Advantages: Keeps you dry Disadvantages: Slightly more expensive
I am always happy to try out new daily grooming products and deodorant is no exception. I find that a normal deodorant is never quite strong enough to do the job for the whole day, especially if I have to do a lot of strenuous housework, or have opted for a trip to the park with the kids, and having already tried the toughest end of the market with Driclor, I decided on attempting something in the middle.
Mitchum's deodorants come in three styles - the roll on, the aerosol and the hydro stick. For the purposes of this review I will be concentrating on the aerosol in powderfresh, but have tried all the various types and found them to match the excellent effects of the aerosol.
The first thing I would say is the size of the can does not resemble others on the supermarket shelf, like Sure, for instance. It seems to be much smaller ...
