I have to say, extremely impressed. I was considering Botox until just last week when I read about this product online.

I have always had a major sweating issue under my arms. It started in high school. I thought it was because I was going through puberty and living in a tropical country that I had it, but when I moved back home it still persisted, and seemed to get worse as I became more aware of it.

I could be sitting inside on a cold day, fireplace on, sweaty armpits. No fireplace, just cold, sweaty armpits. Just get out of the shower, dry myself off, head the bedroom to get changed. Armpits sweating...grrrrrrr. I had done some research and started looking for roll ones with that aluminum tetra gly...sorry can't remember the name, but I'm sure you will know it.... ingredient which was suppose to help fight sweat. After a shower, I would apply it. Then find I was sweating in amongst the roll on while it was drying. Then I started to hair dry the product to my arm pit. This would work, for 5 mins, then my sweat would break it.

Pretty much everything I tried, I could not get rid of it. So my only way to combat it was to not raise my arms. There are soo many pictures where I could have raised my arms, and I don't. I don't make it obvious, but when I look at the pictures, to me it is obvious. Of course, there are a few times where I have had a bit too much to drink and forget, then I really think "OH WHY".

So as you can understand, I was at the end of hope really. Botox seemed to be the only way. My wife recommended it as she heard about it through her friends. I could afford it fine, but I didn't like the idea of having to go and get seen by specialists, them all knowing I had sweaty pits. Especially as I am quite well know, imagine that, this gossip going around that I have hyperhidrosis.

Now I know I have gone on, but I really wanted to let people know exactly how I have felt and what point I was in my life with this issue, because I am sure lots of people out there have this issue but can it very well covered up, literally!!

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, then putting this fire of goodness on my pits, well 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 in the heat, fully layered up with a tie, shirt, and jacket, not to mention holding a brief case as well. I was thinking to myself "ok this is crap, I am sweating like anything and can feel it".

I got to the office, went to the mirror in the bathroom, looked at my pits. Completely dry!!!! I almost had a heart attack, and started laughing to myself. This really works.

Now I don't know how it does it, but I still felt like I was sweating, but I wasn't. Pits completely dry.

What's even more amazing, it's now Thursday evening and I haven't used the product since Monday night!! I thought I would just see how long it lasts me, and it's still going strong..

Now people might think, I'm just a mild case, and the product will need to be applied more to other people. I can tell you, I am definitely not a mild case. My pits would sweat through, t shirt, shirt, sweatshirt and feeling a bit damp on a jacket inside. My wife complained that I just ruined expensive shirts, t shirts etc because I sweat soo much. I literally wear a t shirt a few times, then it was stained or had a smell that couldn't be removed. I have an endless supply of gym t shirts!!

I would highly recommend this product to anyone that has a sweating problem. I really thought I was stuffed, and in just 4 days my whole outlook is positive again. I've been wearing tighter fitting t shirts no sweat, not even after pumping hard at the gym in a grey slimmer fitting t shirt. No sweat at all!!!!
I would say apply it only slightly at first. I have had remarkable instant success from applying heaps. But really, it started to sting heaps. Like they were on fire, badly sun burnt etc. There was a slight rash, but I think this was from the shaving and the over applying. My arm pits where a bit tight the first day, but now they feel like normal pits.

I would say to anyone out there with a sweat problem. Definitely try this product, it is flippin amazing and my life has just changed this week for the better. My life was sweet, no problems except for this sweating issue. Now with this sorted, my life really is sweeeet!
