Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

This 20% aluminum chloride solution is prescription-strength, producing significant improvement for excessive sweating when over-the-counter options fall short. For best results, apply to dry skin at night, using it five nights the first week, then tapering to once a week. However, it can irritate the skin, so if irritation develops, people may want to dial back frequency until finding the right dose without discomfort.

"If over-the-counter antiperspirants are not enough, you can get a stronger aluminum chloride solution at 20% via prescription, known as Drysol. It is like Certain Dri but prescription strength, and [...] you can apply it to your soles, your underarms, and other areas where you are constantly sweating."

"For many people that is an excellent plan that leads to significant improvement in their sweating. One challenge with Drysol is that it can be irritating to the skin, so it can't always be used as much as we prescribe it, and if that's the case I just have patients use it as frequently as they can without causing too much irritation."
