How to stop excessive sweating? For those of us who suffer from sweating bullets I checked out webmd to see what they had to say about the subject. They had a video, which glanced over prescription strength antiperspirants and went on to talk about more complex treatments such as botox injections and laparoscopic surgery. Fortunately, it’s very likely that if you are suffering from excessive sweating you don’t have to go into these expensive treatments. For less than $20 you can get a prescription strength antiperspirant, simple as that. No more awkwardly wiping your hands on your shirt or pants to make sure that they are dry before shaking hands. No more walking around in double layers or coming into a business meeting drenched in sweat. No more wondering why any bar stick deodorant does not work.

What are these prescription strength drugs? At the time I was searching for a solution, which was about a year ago, the two leading brands were Certain Dri and Maxim. By “leading” I mean the most number of reviews on Amazon and other sites (not scientific, but close enough). Now I see that some more brands have popped up including Secret Clinical Strength
Gillette Clinical Strength (or maybe I just didn’t notice them before). Regardless, Certain Dri or Maxim are definitely worth checking out. Not only can you use them on your underarms, but you can use them on your feet and hands as well. Aside from these two products, you can of course check out other ones, but I’d bet my money that these two would work for you. Both products work by closing the sweat pores. You apply at night so that you can stay dry the rest of the day.  

What about an antiperspirant that requires a prescription? Drysol is the leading prescription brand and claims to cure 80% of its users.

How to stop excess sweating: Which is the best antiperspirant to use?

Although each of the three aforementioned brands (Certain Dri, Maxim, and Drysol) say that they know how to stop excessive sweat and are the best at this and the best at that, none of these are “the best”. We all have different bodies, different skin, and different chemistry. As such, Maxim may work better than Certain Dri for some and vice versa for others. For some, Drysol may work fine. The good news is that if one of these three products doesn’t work out, you can go on to the next one. In my personal case Maxim worked and Certain Dri didn’t. So, how to stop excessive sweating? With one of these three products. There are, of course, other antiperspirants out there, just make sure that you read user reviews before buying anything and not just ad copy.
