Stress, Hot Flashes, and Never-Ending Sweat
I’ve always been aware of my perspiration. For as long as I can remember, it’s been a source of quiet embarrassment—something I tried to manage without drawing attention. Stress made it worse, especially when I had to speak in front of colleagues. As I got older, I started blaming it on hot flashes too.
I adjusted in small, careful ways: packing extra shirts, sticking to dark colours, avoiding handshakes. But lately, even those workarounds haven’t been enough. The perspiration has only gotten worse, and I finally realized I needed a real solution.
Struggling with mid-day heat, stress, or unexpected bursts of perspiration at work? You’re not alone, and there’s a dermatologist-tested solution that can help you stay dry and confident.
A Conversation with My Pharmacist Changed Everything
Eventually, I asked my pharmacist for a recommendation, something stronger than what I was using. I had in mind one of those drugstore antiperspirants with “clinical” on the label. But instead, she suggested something I’d never heard of: Drysol®, a true clinical-grade antiperspirant from a Canadian company, Seaford Pharmaceuticals. This wasn’t just another nice-smelling cover-up—it was a dermatologist-tested solution designed to manage excessive perspiration at the source.
She explained that Drysol® is different from the typical store brand anti-perspirants and deodorants. It’s medical-grade, clinically proven and dermatologist-tested. The Regular Strength formula, she said, would likely be a good starting point for someone with moderate, but very noticeable sweating like me.
It Literally Starts Working Overnight!
That night, I followed the instructions and applied Drysol® before bed. I learned something simple but important: your sweat glands are least active at night, so that’s when Drysol® works best. And unlike other products I’ve used in the past, this one didn’t need to be applied daily. Once my perspiration was under control, I only needed it a couple of times a week.
After just a couple of weeks, I saw real results. My underarms stayed dry. My palms weren’t clammy when I shook hands. Even the soles of my feet—where I’d usually feel that uncomfortable stickiness—felt normal again.
Struggling with mid-day heat, and embarrassing sweat? You’re not alone, and there’s a clinically proven solution for that kind of perspiration.
Drysol® Helped Me—and Then It Helped My Whole Family
Once I saw how well Drysol® worked for me, I realized my whole family could benefit from it too.
My teenage son had started high school and was worried about sweat stains during gym class. I got him the Mild Strength version. It’s gentle but powerful enough to give him peace of mind. My daughter, who’s in her twenties and likes to stay active, now keeps a bottle of Regular Strength in her overnight bag. Even my husband, who enjoys hiking and weekend sports - now swears by the Extra Strength formula for full-day protection.
From walking to class to weekend activities, staying dry matters. That’s why I introduced my daughter to Drysol®—gentle enough for sensitive skin, strong enough to keep her confident.
It turns out we all had our own relationship with sweat. And until we tried Drysol®, we just thought we had to live with it.
Understanding Excessive Perspiration (It’s More Common Than You Think)
Before all this, I’d never heard of hyperhidrosis. It’s a medical condition that causes excessive sweating, often in everyday, non-strenuous situations. It can affect your hands, feet, underarms, back, or even your face. For me, it was triggered by factors like stress, hormonal changes, and the pressure of being more visible at work.
I used to think sweating was just something I had to work around. But Drysol® showed me that managing perspiration isn’t just possible, it’s simple, safe, and reliable.
Unlike deodorants, which only mask odour, Drysol® is a clinical antiperspirant that works directly on the sweat glands. It’s dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and recognized by the Canadian Dermatology Association (for Extra Strength). It doesn’t just make you feel fresher; it actually reduces how much you sweat.
Choose the Right Formula for Your Level of Perspiration
Drysol® comes in three strengths, each designed to support different levels of sweating and lifestyle needs:
- Mild Strength – For gentle, effective control of occasional perspiration.
- Regular Strength – Ideal for moderate sweat concerns (my go-to).
- Extra Strength – Powerful sweat protection for severe or persistent perspiration.
Each one can be used on underarms, palms, soles of feet, or wherever excessive perspiration occurs. And the value? One bottle can last up to four months, because you don’t need to use it daily after it's under control.
Take Back Control
If you’re like I was—cycling through drugstore brands or trying “natural” options that don’t work—Drysol® may be the solution you didn’t know existed. It helped me regain control and feel like myself again.
