Certain Dri Prescription Strength Clinical Antiperspirant Roll-On Deodorant, ...

Why did I ever wander? This is the One True Antiperspirant and it does not disappoint. Powerfully effective, blessedly unscented, convenient application, and a price that can't be beat. I'll never stray again. Keep in mind this stuff is VERY STRONG. You MUST use it exactly as directed to avoid skin irritation: apply to bone-dry skin (dry the area with a hair dryer if needed), at bedtime. Not too much or it'll sting— more is not better. I tip the bottle to wet the roller ball, tilt it back upright, apply ONE long swipe, then use my fingers to spread the product over the whole armpit area. Repeat for the other side. Let it dry, then go to bed. You'll be TOTALLY sweat-free for 2 to 3 days at least (I've gone as many as 5!). Yes it lasts through showers, as long as you don't scrub the area too aggressively. Works just as well on feet, palms, and forehead. One thing to note though: if you don't sweat from one place (armpits, feet), you may find you sweat more from other places. That's how well this works. But I have to repeat: YOU MUST USE AS DIRECTED. This is not like regular antiperspirant that you apply every morning. Do NOT apply it right after you shower. Moisture makes it sting/burn/itch and it is not fun. Do NOT apply it when you're already sweating. It won't work… and it'll sting/burn/itch like a 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 and it is NOT FUN.

(If you do feel burning, mix some baking soda with water, soak a paper towel or cloth, and apply that to the area to neutralize the acid.)

Works. I’ve tried a lot of antiperspirants and this actually does what it says. No scent at all, which I appreciate more than I expected. You don’t realize how many “unscented” products still smell like something until they’re on your skin. The roll-on feels wet going on and takes a minute to dry, so you have to be a little patient. Once it sets, it’s fine and doesn’t leave residue on shirts. I noticed after the first couple nights that I wasn’t checking my underarms during the day anymore, which says a lot. It’s basically the same level of effectiveness as a prescription I used to have. Do not overapply. If you do, it genuinely feels like you burned your skin. Less is definitely more here. Used correctly, it works. I just wish the drying time was faster. I have bought this several time and went to subscription with it.

I've been using this product since high school and it was the best decision I ever made. While other people talk about sweating excessively (meaning they'd get sweat marks within an hour of wearing clothing) my idea of sweating excessively was getting sweat stains within 10 minutes of wearing a shirt. It was bad. I tried so many products and this one has been with me for 6 or 7 years now. Has no scent, rolls on like a watery serum, and needs to dry before putting on a tight-fitting shirt (I normally wear t-shirts or sweatshirts with some light room underneath and it dries fine when I do that). Can't recommend this enough - I was so self conscious and couldn't wear the clothing I wanted because of how much I sweat. My wardrobe went from just black and white to all the colors and it really helped me. FOR FIRST TIME USERS: - Read all the instructions. This product isn't really for sensitive skin so just be aware of your skin type (especially on your underarms) - Do NOT apply this after shaving for AT LEAST 3 days (for the first few applications as you figure out what works for you). This will STING LIKE HELL if you apply too soon after shaving. If you shave on Monday morning, wait until Thursday morning to try this. I personally only need 2 days after shaving, but I've used this product for years and know what works for me. - Make sure underarms are completely dry before applying - no water, no sweat, no other products - Apply every 3 or 4 days (again, for the first few applications - this is a strong product and applying too much, too fast can cause really bad itchiness). As someone who sweats a lot, I learned that I can apply this product every 2 or 3 days without any effects. (I.E. Apply on Monday morning, again on Wednesday morning or Thursday) - Recommended to try this at night - I used to apply this at night, showered in the morning, and had no problems with anything washing off, still worked fine. Applying in morning just works better for me and I've had no issues as long as product has dried before leaving the house - Lastly, try only one or two swipes of product for first time. Figure out what works for you. If I remember correctly, product worked within 1 or 2 weeks for me. I would be aware of what 'health risks' this could potentially pose, because it does completely block sweat production. I used the product for about 6 to 8 months of continual use, stopped for another 6 months and even during this pause, I didn't sweat for those months. This wore off and I continued sweating like normal. Just something to keep in mind if that's an issue or concern of yours.

After being fed up with extensive pit sweating and always worrying about having visible pit sweat stains on all of my clothing, I decided to give this a try. I was a little skeptical, and also somewhat nervous about the many reviews that claimed it caused burning and irritation. And it absolutely can, BUT if you’re careful and patient you can avoid this discomfort. I did see some reviews mentioning not to apply it right after a shower or after shaving, and I would also suggest following this advice. Also, start slow. The first day I was overzealous and did maybe four or five swipes over each armpit. This was a bad move. It resulted in an agitating burning sensation and redness, and after an hour or so of trying to push through I decided it was more annoying than I bargained for and tried to rinse it off in the shower. This did help and made it much less irritating, but it did continue to feel sort of itchy. I waited a few days for the irritation/redness to subside and tried again with two swipes and it wasn’t as bad, but still somewhat irritating. So after that, I decided to change my approach. I just did one swipe right in the center of each armpit and then sort of closed my arm/laid it flat against my body and wiggled it around to almost distribute that small amount around my armpit. Sounds ridiculous, but I dunno, that’s what I did. I guess you could also just rub it around with your hand and then wash your hands really well afterwards. When I originally swiped it all over my armpit, it seemed the outside edges became most irritated, which is what led me to just doing the one swipe directly in the middle. And then I would lift my arms back up and let it dry completely (recommended in previous reviews). This seemed to make a difference and there wasn’t a burning sensation. I also only did this every other day and then after around two weeks switched to doing it everyday. So now I’ve been using it for a month and a half and daily for nearly a month. I still just do the one swipe. It has definitely improved my sweating significantly, which I’m super happy about. I apply it every morning because I shower and shave at night. Then, once it dries, I do still use a regular deodorant on top of it so that I smell nice. But prior to this, I would just sweat through any and every deodorant I tried and would be sweaty and smelly regardless. But now, I hardly sweat and I actually just smell like my nice smelling deodorant at the end of the day. It’s a big relief. I will say, it is somewhat concerning that you do need to be so cautious using this product because it can very easily cause some pretty rough irritation. Not sure why that is or what that ultimately means for for its overall impact on health and body. So I suppose that is something to take into consideration. BUT it does help with excessive sweating.

Okay so I have never written a review before but I want to leave my opinion on this; i've tried a bunch of different dove deodorants, i've tried the hello brand. i've tried antiperspirant ones, i have tried ones with no aluminum, etc... i have always struggled with my armpits and ONLY my armpits being sweaty. as a woman in her 20's, you can imagine how embarrassing it is. I was scared to wear my nice tops and let alone outside. Even if I sit in my room doing nothing, my armpits sweat. If I go outside? No matter how little or a lot I put, I would sweat and get stains on my shirts. After a ton of looking around I had this one wishlisted for awhile but never bought it until about two weeks ago... I waited a bit to give opinions as well. But today sealed the deal for me. I went outside for multiple hours through rainy weather that then turned hot and while I sweat elsewhere; i did not sweat a single time in my armpits. I wasn't afraid to put on a nicer shirt today, I even went to the fitting room and freely tried on shirts without being worried or embarrassed my armpits would ruin them. This really works! JUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS!! A lot of the bad reviews are from people who put this immediately after a shower or shaving. I followed the directions and did not experience any harsh burning, itching, or bruising. At some point my armpit did burn slightly- I won't lie. That is because I did three swipes. It wasn't a painful burn and went away after about a day. This week I went with two swipes and I think it depends on your needs and how much you sweat- but two was perfect for me. No irritation, no burns, no darkening, and I was able to go out and be sweat free. My last thing I'll say is that I see other reviews that say they put other deodorant on top as this one doesn't smell like anything. I would recommend that too. The first week I was too afraid to mix and match. The first few days I didn't sweat and had no smell- fine by me. But by the end of the week it was beginning to smell and sweat again. This week, after it was dry, I decided on two swipes of the usual dove one I was using and it's worked for me. Certain dri keeps me from sweating, dove has kept me smelling nice. For the price, I can't complain. Again, I've tried $10+ deodorants, I've tried cheap ones, brand name, random drug store ones... I will never go back after using this one. If you are like me and scared to wear your nicer clothes and excessively sweat, try this out. Just again, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS. This is NOT meant to be put on right after a shower like other ones. This can be your best friend if you follow instructions and use it lightly once a week. I'm looking forward to see how it holds up for me during the summer but so far, it's worked wonders and my confidence is going up being able to wear all the nice blouses and shirts I've been holding onto for this day where I found a deodorant that contained my sweat!

I sweat like a hog. No matter how often I showered or how much antiperspirant I used, I'd inevitably end up smelling like I ran a marathon after a couple of hours. This has been the only product that works and works consistently to stop my BO. It does irritate my skin so I use it every other day and once it dries, I use the Certain Dri solid antiperspirant over it which has greatly helped with irritation.

Update: It's not as great as I thought. Now that it's getting warmer out I thought I'd try different color tops (I normally just wear black). Went on a walk yesterday, not too hot out but big sweat stains. It could be user error, I've forgotten to put it on a few times, or who knows. I bumped it down to 3 stars. I'll keep using it and testing it but it's not a holy grail for me. I sweat a lot, I hate it. I wear a lot of black because of it. I just want to wear cute tops. I saw this recommended somewhere and decided to try it out. It definitely helps the sweatiness. I will get sweat stains if I get hot but they're not as bad. If I work out or get super hot, then I still sweat stains but I think that's any deodorant/antiperspirant. If I'm not too active or just moderate I can get away with no sweat stains which is a miracle for me lol. It seems like it took a few days to a week of consistent use to notice a difference. Summer will be the real test. I have 2 issues with it. It's only an antiperspirant so there's no odor help. I put this on at night before bed and then regular deodorant in the morning. Using both might be helping with the sweating too. The second issue is that it can be irritating. I see a lot of comments about this so I know I'm not the only one. If I put too much on (I think that's the issue) I get an itchy rash between my armpit and chest. A little hydrocortisone cream helps clear it up but still an issue. Plus you don't want to be using hydrocortisone a lot. But if you put on too little it doesn't do the best job. I think if I put it on too close to bed time that might be an issue too, give it time to dry. I've found shaving my armpits makes it worse and will sting sometimes if I don't wait long enough after shaving to apply. Using an electric razor helps this issue. The directions say to use only a few swipes. Overall this is the only antiperspirant I've used that's really made a noticeable difference. The price tag is really nice too. I've tried much more expensive stuff and it didn't work. But there are a couple of cons with it. I'll keep using and see how it goes but I do plan to buy again.

Works for me. It’s slightly inconvenient because you have to put it on at night and then let it dry (it’s a liquid roll on). I like to sleep with a tee shirt on but if I don’t let the antiperspirant dry first it soaks into my tee and is ineffective. So I put it on, put my hands behind my head and let it dry before putting my tee back on. Also it works better when I shave my pits. I don’t shave skin smooth - just short hair and then this works better. Despite the hassle and inconvenience I give 5 stars because it works better than anything else I’ve tried. No more visible sweat rings around my under arms in dress shirts or thin sweaters.
