Customer Reviews of Maxim Prescription Strength Antiperspirant & Deodorant - Doctor and Dermatologist Recommended
Customer Review: Great product with great results
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had hyperhydrosis since middle school. Generally I'm in good health. I eat balanced meals, go to the gym several times a week. I'm a little overweight, but not too bad. It's really embarrassing to constantly have wet armpits. Every time I see a shirt wet, I feel fat and dirty. And it's hard to explain to strangers in public or people in passing that it's a metabolic/thyroid thing. I can be sitting on my couch in full air conditioning naked and I will still sweat - like POOLS of sweat. On my worst days at work (wearing a long sleeve shirt, tie and jacket) I have taken my jacket off when I got home and my shirt was wet down to my waistline. I have ruined hundreds of dollars in shirts. I have tried many "clinical strength" deodorants and countless products. This has been the first product that I have seen noticeable results from. I bought one to try and after two weeks of using it, I ordered three more to have. Applying it at night before bed, I am able to shower in the morning and apply a small amount of regular deodorant, get dressed and go to work. By lunchtime, I may only have a small amount of sweat showing on my shirt (about the size of a quarter). This product has made a huge difference in my life. I don't have to wear sweaters or jackets all the time now to hide wet underarms on my shirts. I'm not worried about ruining my shirts with stains and discolored armpits. I have only been using this product for about three weeks now, and notice a huge difference already. Some products that I've used in the past have burned, irritated my skin, made me break out, but this one doesn't. It itches when you first apply for about 10 minutes, but then everything is fine. This product is really an amazing thing. I definitely recommend for any hyperhydrosis sufferers out there.Customer Review: I can't beleive it, but it actually works!

Okay, so I don't know how to write this so that people will actually believe me but I'll give it a shot. I'm a 25 yr old female, average weight and height but I used to sweat buckets under my arms! It could be cold out, it could be warm, it could be neutral, it didn't matter, my underarms were sweating. Day, night, as soon as I got out of the shower my underarms began to perspire. When I shopped I passed by shirts that I new would show the sweat, but the embarrassment was only part of it, the discomfort of always wearing a wet shirt was unbearable, I changed shirts several times a day. I was skeptical when I bought Maxim and I thought it was pretty expensive but I was willing to try anything! I applied the product just before bed as directed and the first thing I noticed was the itching and discomfort but I figured "hey if I'm feeling this, it must be doing something" I had a little trouble sleeping the first night because of this but again, I was willing to go through anything for a product that worked. The next day I put on a shirt that I KNEW showed sweat every time I wore it and I waited. I waited all day for sweat and it didn't come! So I thought maybe it was a fluke. Again I applied the product and again it itched at night but since it seemed to work I kept using it. It's been 28 days since I started using the product and the only time I have sweat was the one day that I forgot to apply it the previous night. Even then it was not a lot. This past week I started using it every other day and the itching when I apply it has stopped and the product lasts even on the off days, I still do not sweat and I feel like a new person! I will keep buying this product for as long as I need it! It really works!Customer Review: Worth Every Penny!

Like so many reviews I have read about this product, I too, have a story about extreme underarm sweating. I didn't have the money to see a doctor about it. I have read that so many people were too "embarrassed" to see their doctor about the issue, but as for me I could have cared less what he had to say or anyone else because I was so tired of wet underarms, black shirts, etc. And I used to work there! So I know everyone, and I'm sure the word would have gotten around.
I started looking for things to help me and this happened to run across my screen. Thought I would give it a try. Got it yesterday in the mail and put it on at night as the directions explained. The itching was minor and not enough to bother me. This morning I woke up and thought "Okay, now the test!" I always sweat in the morning. Maybe my hormones are in high gear or something, but I also sweat in the cold/heat - basically all the time. I carried around my two children this morning for about an hour in the hospital and doctors offices and NEVER A DROP! Can you believe it? After 1 day... there is nothing. Just wish I would have found it sooner and that others knew how great this stuff really is. No more dark colored shirts for me. I'm jumping out of this dark closet and headed into the sun in pink t-shirts! Who would have thought a roll-on would work? haha
This def deserves an award or something. People don't have to suffer any longer. It's also worth writing this long review just to expose myself with my terrible sweating problem, but it's a thing of the past. Great stuff, worth the $19.90 I paid for it.
Customer Review: Sweat no more.

Finally I feel comfortable. It was driving me crazy that I sweat when cold, or that after shower applying antiperspirant I was still wet-weird. I gave a shot, and it works. After one application it sting a bit, but next day it was burning as hell, I had to wash it off with cold water and still feel pain all night and next day. I talked to Corad Healthcare rep and the lady said that I could overdo, wait till irritation is gone, and than when needed apply with fingertips. If irritation will still occur then company will replace regular Maxim for a sensitive one for free.
The active ingredient is aluminum chloride 15%, it`s 1 oz bottle. The consistency is water like, and when I started to roll it was leaking, so it`s better not to apply up side down, and only a little bit.
Aluminum chloride shrinks the sweat glands, it`s irritating and it shouldn`t be use on injured skin (wound, cut, after shave). After few days of using it`s enough to apply every few days (for me it worked after 1 time) always at night (it takes time to work), on clean and dry skin.
I think this product might as well work for feet and hands excessive sweating.
Additional comment: 3 days later with working out no sweat underarms, I sweat more on the other parts, like forehead, that`s normal. Also I found 12% aluminum chloride product in Target and Walgreens for $5 and that`s what I`m gonna get next time (it`s called Certain Dri, easy to find on Amazon too, but shipping costs will get you another bottle).
Customer Review: It's the Real Deal!!!

I have been using Maxim for about 3 years now but have never thought about leaving a review on Amazon, as I have always gotten the product directly from their website. If you are thinking about trying this product, please do! It know that it really has changed my life! The very first weekend after I started using this product, my husband and I went to an NFL football game. Even though we were sitting in an air-conditioned suite, the afternoon son was blazing in on our seating area. Normally sitting in the sweltering heat would cause me to be a drenched mess, but not this time. Seriously, not a drop of perspiration under my arms! I really couldn't believe that a product could work like that, but it did, and I have been using it ever since. The other reviewers are correct in that your underarm area will get itchy after applying it at bedtime, but I find it a small annoyance compared to the complete confidence I now feel with wearing ANY type of clothing I want! I used to have to be cognizant of the clothing I purchased because certain materials and/or colors would undoubtedly show sweat marks before the day was done (I think just worrying about sweating would make me sweat, even when in air conditioning...lol). A lot of products claim to be miracle products, but I can honestly say that this one really is! Now, I'm off to purchase more Maxim on Amazon. :)
