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. 𝗔𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗺 𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗱. So don't screw around. (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.)

Above average antiperspirant; that being said, it will start breaking your skin if you overuse it or if you've overused it before. Very effective as it eliminated sweat in my armpits when I used it correctly. It also gave me a rash unless I switched between using it and my normal antiperspirant.

I primarily use this deodorant on areas like my back and other spots that tend to sweat a lot, especially when I’m at work, moving a lot and lifting, and it works extremely well for keeping those areas dry. In terms of sweat control, this is the strongest antiperspirant I’ve used and easily the most effective for drying. It applies smoothly with an easy roll-on and doesn’t leave behind any sticky or chalky residue, which is a big plus. There’s no noticeable scent, which I don’t mind, but because my sense of smell isn’t very strong, I can’t confidently speak to how well it deodorizes. That said, for moisture control alone, this performs exceptionally well. If staying dry is your top priority especially for high-sweat areas this is a great option.”

If you sweat a lot, this product is for you. It works quickly and leaves your pits dry. Don’t use this product daily either because there is a severe itching side effect and it burns after shaving and applying this particular deodorant.

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.

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!

It seems to have worked fine at first, but that was when I was shaving frequently and not washing with benzoyl peroxide so it was fighting against a lot of odor. I would use it only after I showered but even still, because it was roll on, the ball collects bacteria and puts it right back into the liquid and lets it fester in there. It’s not bacteria-killing, I don’t think, only sweat blocking, so it began to just smell bad when I used it, and make me actually smell worse immediately after putting it on. I’m sure if I used it again now that I only trim the hair under my arms and wash daily with benzoyl peroxide 10% wash, I wouldn’t have as much of the same issue. But I just don’t see the point in the rolling feature. Seems unsanitary no matter what, even if I don’t struggle with odor as much nowadays. Stick to sticks and sprays.

This product honestly changed my life. I grew up with traditional Hammam care and natural products, and I never had any odor issues until one year ago when I suddenly developed a strong underarm smell that nothing could remove. I tried natural soaps, deodorants, and every remedy possible, but nothing worked and it affected my confidence, my social life, and even my summer. When I tried Certain Dri, I was shocked because after the first use the smell disappeared completely, and the effect lasts for days with no sweating at all—I sometimes don’t need to reapply for 2–3 days. The only small inconvenience is that if you apply it right after shaving, you might feel a slight burn for a few minutes, but that’s normal and goes away quickly. I even use it on areas where I sweat between the thighs, and it works perfectly. . Truly the best product I’ve ever purchased on Amazon; if you struggle with odor or excessive sweating, please try it—it might change your life the way it changed mine.
