Customer Reviews of Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant, Roll-On, Prescription Strength, 1.2 oz.
Customer Review: A Teenager's Review
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a 13 year old girl who has had the 'excessive sweat' problem for about 2 years---and if you're a teenage girl, you know that it is the most embarrassing thing EVER! I stained my white shirts, 5 to be exact within two times wearing each of them. One of those 5 shirts was by Juicy Couture and cost me about 60 bucks. But that is a different story....
Anyway, when June came around (of this year) I knew I had to do something about my problem. I had tried just about EVERY deoderant there is. But I saw 2 written up in my favorite magazine: a Secret one, and Certain Dri. I tried the Secret one first, thinking that there was NO WAY that my problem needed a deoderant that seemed so official. Well, the Secret deoderant worked (or so I thought) pretty well, and I used it up until now, November 24. I knew it wasn't working when I went to a party (although it was VERY hot in there), and I went to the bathroom to find large sweat rings underneath my armpits. Foolishly, I talked myself out of it, and blamed my newly sweat-stained shirt on the heat of the home--not the extent of my sweat problem. The next week, I went to school with a very cute shirt on. It is purple satiny material, and it is short-sleeved. But for whatever reason, I once again found sweat stains! I had to wear my jacket the ENTIRE day to cover up my armpits. But my foolishness continued, and I had yet to address and do something about my problem once again. So, just 2 nights ago, I went to a party at a friend's house, and once again, I found myself wet and smelly. MORE sweat! That was the wake-up call that actually worked. The next day, I went grocery shopping with my mom. I told her I had to get something, so I went off to find Certain Dri on my own. In all my shame and embarrassment, I handed my mother the deoderant. She just told me that she, too, had the problem when she was my age, and tossed it into the cart (what a great mom!).
I have been using Certain Dri for 2 days now, and so far it has worked very well. I still find myself a little stinky, but that is no big deal--I'll simply use a regular deoderant for that. I have yet to have had any problems, other than a minimal itchiness once applied, which I'll get used to.
Bottom line, get Certain Dri. It changes lives for the better, just check out all the other reviews.
Customer Review: all these reviews don't lie - this is good stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
The short of this review : this stuff works.
The long of this review: I started sweating more once i became pregnant, i thought it would go away once i lost the pregnancy weight - but it didn't. i am 25 and a overweight. i don't suffer from horrible sweating, but enough that i get large and noticeable pit stains on many of my shirts - enough that i'm really self conscious.
i tried secret clinical strength, it did nothing bit smell alot.
so i started to research, looking for something that would help without having to go to the dr. i found certain dry and all these reviews here and elsewhere - i was nervous, as some reviews mentioned rashes, and the product not working. but i wanted to try it.
day one: put on at night, after having a shower probably 2 hours before. went straight to bed. there was definitely a noticeable sting? itch? to it, but not enough to bother me enough to matter. i slept.
in the morning, i used certain dry am - nice, very light scent to it. i wore dark clothes, so i don't know for sure if i was sweaty, i felt a bit damp thought the day, not as much as usual though... but when i changed tonight, i could tell there was *no* scent on my clothes, nothing stinky, nothing perfume-y.. just nothing
second night, no shower or shaving before hand (apparently will aggravate the itching) and it's been on my underarms for about half an hour. for the first ten minutes - nothing. then slowly, an itch, a sting, i dunno.. a feeling that made me twitchy for wanting to make it stop, not horrible, but _noticeable_.
it's still sorta there, but not as bad... if it works, it's worth it, if it doesn't work, well.. that sucks...
Second morning. One underarm is red, owie. put some lotion on, after that dried put on certain dri AM, and after that dried, baby powder, to reduce chaffing of the owieness..
second evening - no soreness anymore, wearing something that *always* without fail shows wetness - and nothing. nothing at all. it's amazing! no smell either (we'll attribute that to the certain dri AM)
day three - not sore, not wet, so far totally totally worth it.
update: so pleased with this purchase. it works, it works well - just don't put too much on, and do follow the directions.
Customer Review: Pit free
Summary: 5 Stars
I doubt I've ever written a review in my life, but then I was never so completely sold as when I started using Certain Dry. It is absolutely the best product I've ever purchased for sweating. For the past 20 years, I've been a heavy sweater and I've tried everything to hide it: dress shields (briefly), instant dry workout gear, breathable Golf shirts, sweatshirts, double t-shirts, black shirts, white shirts, etc. NOTHING EVER WORKED. I also just tried DEGREE clinical Strength products and they were absolutely worthless. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON DEGREE CLINICAL STRENGTH.
Tired of the excess sweating and pit stains on all my white shirts, I heard about Botox for sweating, so I checked it out on the web and then the add popped up for Certain Dry. At $5 or $6 a box, I figured who cares, I'd give it a try first. After all, I've spent hundreds of dollars on experimental methods I saw in the back of magazines, so why not another 6 bucks.
I purchased Certain Dry about two weeks ago and it worked instantly. I now wear it every other day and recently went out in a gray t-shirt. I couldn't believe that I passed the GRAY T-SHIRT test IMMEDIATELY. When I say immediately, I mean the very next day.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this product. I applied it as directed on the box; at night like a deodorant roll on. It does not run at all and dries pretty quickly (about 2-3 minutes). I have gone 48 hours between applications and I still remain dry, so I assume it will last 72 hours, but haven't tried. Also, I have NOT experienced any irritation, just some minor itching for a few minutes after application but this goes away quickly and well worth it.
I only wrote this review to be helpful because I know what it is like to be be embarrased by EXTREME SWEATING and I think you should give it a try. It's sold at Targets, Wal-Mart's, but didn't see it at local grocery stores. It's always on the bottom shelf since they don't spend the marketing blitz that P&G does.
GIVE IT A TRY and let me know, I'm curious to see what you think.
Customer Review: After two years, still love it!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used Certain Dri antiperspirant for over two years now, and I LOVE it. I came to this product for two reasons. First, I was having problems with excessive sweating. If I got even a little warm, I would sweat right through whatever I was wearing. If I went to a job interview, I had to wear extra shirts under my outfit because my pits would be drenched after 10 minutes. I had started shopping for tops by colors that would be least likely to show perspiration. I also had b.o. when I sweat like this--yuck. And I'd tried a million different brands of deodorant. I needed something that *worked.*
Second, I'm in my early thirties, and I'm working very hard to be conscientious about the chemicals I'm exposing myself to every day, especially when it comes to household and personal-care products. I was tired of using something containing aluminum zirconium trichlorohydrex (i.e., chlorine derivative) that didn't work...but then, neither did any of the all-natural options. I prefer natural, organic, and very simple ingredients whenever possible. The resource I use most often to discover what ingredients/products are safe or unsafe is SkinDeep, [...], compiled by EWG. They rate ingredients and brand products on a scale of 0-10 based on research, 0 being likely to be very safe and 10 meaning there was evidence that something could be really bad for you. This deodorant scored a one!
I use this twice a week at night before bed, and use an unscented, all-natural crystal deodorant daily in the morning as a refresher. No more pit stains, waaay fewer scary chemicals, and I still sweat normally when I exercise. I will probably use this product forever.
(Note: I used it once right before putting on a new dark purple top, and it discolored the underarm fabric. I've *never* had this problem when I use it at night. Follow the package directions: don't put it on, then get dressed for the day.)
Customer Review: So far, so good
Summary: 5 Stars
This is only my first week of using the product, but so far I am really, really, really satisifed! I have really sensitive skin normally, so I was really nervous abut trying it. Abput 2 weeks after I heard about the product, my husband commented about me needing a better deoderant after doing a load of laundry - off to the drugstore we went! I figured I could handle a terrible buring sensation if it meant salvaging my wardrobe.
I have to say that I don't think my problem is as bad as some others have described - but still pretty bad. Any time I wore a tight shirt I would soak through the armpit area, and the sweat seemed to stay primarily in the armpits with loose shirts, although it would sometimes feel it drip down my side...yuck. I managed to hide it pretty well with baggy clothes, keeping my arms close to my side, but it was still super nasty.
After the first night of applying Certain Dri, I have completely dry underarms and it is a wonderful feeling. I usedit about 30 minutes after mybed time shower, and I shaved my underarms the next morning. Any minor adjustments to my schedule are well worth it. I tried skipping a ngiht, and it seemed to last me until about 36 hours after the first application, but even then it was a very slight, damp feeling, not my usual sweatiness.
I actually heard about the product on a message board, and one person commented that she has cysts inher underarms as a result of the product...so I am going to consult with my doctor just to see if I should watch for anything strange.
As far as the burning sensation - for me it's really not bad. It stings for about 30 seconds after I apply it and I found that it can irritate the outer edges of my underarm if I'm not careful to apply it only to the places where hair normally grows. I'm sure it is different for everyone, but to me it was worth the $5 to give it a try.
