Carpe Hand Antiperspirant

I've had hyperhidrosis for over half my life now. I remember being a teenager, shaking someone's hand, and watching them quietly wipe off their palms on their pants--that's the level of embarrassment this brings on for me. Writing and drawing were hard with the sweat always smudging the pages, and holding someone's hand on a walk? Forget about it. It's gotten to the point that I skipped my own college graduation because walking across a stage to shake someone's hand was that mortifying. Job interviews are a whole other beast entirely.Recently, I had a date and all this embarrassment came back up. She was so awesome, but I felt fidgety and awkward, wanting to touch her but feeling so uncomfortable about my own body. I decided to give this product a try out of pure desperation, and holy s***. It actually works??? Seriously, this is coming from someone who had prescription products in high school that did absolutely nothing for my palmar hyperhidrosis. Within a few days of consistent use, my hand sweat was cut in half. I've been using it for a week and a half now, and while I still have episodes, it's nothing compared to how my hands used to be.In terms of the negatives, a lot of the complaints here are true. The texture of the liquid is pretty tacky, but that consistency actually makes the product stick to your hands. My past prescription was an aqueous solution that I sweated right off. This product, however, actually stays on so long as you thoroughly dry your hands before applying it. It can leave some dusty residue in the creases on your palms, but it's pretty unnoticeable, I'd argue. Another comment mentioned that some of the product dries out around the exit of the tube, meaning it gets wasted. This is also true. You can rub the crusted parts to reactivate them a bit, but mainly, you have to make sure you're using whatever bit comes out of the tube. Otherwise, it goes to waste.Those negatives aside, I really wish I'd found this product sooner. It's not a 100% cure, but it might help decrease the sweating. I mean, I'm going dancing with my date next week--something I never would've had the confidence to do before.(If this doesn't work for you, prescription glycopyrrolate might be a good thing to look into. Best of luck out there!)

At the ripe young age of 11 I hit puberty and developed severe, persistent, overwhelming under arm sweat. A little girl does not want big stinky pit stains. In fact, no one does. During that time in my life my mom and I tried every antiperspirant under the market's sun. I remember running to the bathroom at school, stuffing toilet paper in my shirt until it clumped and pilled because I sweat through that too. I would squat under hand dryers on breaks to dry out my shirts. The only color I wore for years was black because it hid the stains. Yes, it was that bad. Giving people hugs was a problem. Often others would comment on the moisture they felt. Total embarrassment that eventually lead to shame because NOTHING worked.Normal antiperspirant deodorant seemed to make me sweat more, and it also lead to side effects like clogged pores and huge cysts under my armpits (gross). Eventually I stopped using them and resorted to natural deoderants which I would sweat off within minutes. I learned to carry deoderants in my purse at all times. In gym class once the instructor commented on my b.o. and that was the final straw. I started making my own deoderant with a baking soda base which solved my smell problem.The only problem was the sweat. It never went away. Over the years (I'm 27 now) depending on my hormones I can get away with wearing different colored shirts so long as they weren't light grey and I wasn't doing anything the least bit nerve wracking. Any kind of stress lead to me sweating in my armpits to the point of it running down my arms. Ugh!!And don't get my started on hot weather. I also sweat profusely on my hands and my feet during activity, especially hiking. Blisters are my enemy. It's overall a pain in the @** that only people with this condition can truly understand. The social impact is ridiculous to think about.AND I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW LONG I WENT WITHOUT ANY KIND OF RELIEF LIKE THIS PRODUCT HAS PROVIDED. L i f e c h a n g i n g. I tried it tonight and wow, I can't believe I'm dry. After a shower my armpits immediately start sweating like crazy, which sucks because I just got clean! I toweled off and rubbed this in there and on my hands. Yes, I realize this is marketed for your hands. I looked at their products and some are exactly the same. There was no stinging or burning. The rubbing action did make my skin red temporarily. I've used some intense products to help with sweating and they all felt terrible and did little. This was the opposite experience!The only downside for me is the price. The cost per ounce is pretty high. They have a monopoly which probably drives the cost up. I think this should be affordable to anyone that needs it because - wow, I won't go without this from now on.Highly recommend! Be sure to only use it on clean DRY skin. I washed my hands and it's still working. I can feel my body wants to sweat and is warm as always, but it's dry. Bless this company!

This is a lot of information to throw out there, but I just want you guys to know where I'm coming from when I say this has helped me, because I know I always read reviews before I buy stuff like this! My last paragraph is where I actually talk about the hand lotion.I haven't been officially diagnosed with hyperhidrosis, but I've always had excessively sweaty hands and feet. And I mean EXCESSIVELY sweaty. I grew up in Florida, and I knew I was more of a sweater than most people but I was just used the hot and sticky weather. But I recently moved to Michigan for college (I'm in my second winter here right now) and despite the rest of my body being way more cold and dry my hands and feet STILL sweat more than anyone else I know. I can't wear any of the boots I bought and wore my first winter here because they STANK. Having to wipe my hands on my pants before shaking hands is bad enough, but never being able to take my boots off in public also sucks. I'm a theatre major so I do a TON of contact work with other people in all of my dance/acting/movement classes. I'm frequently in spaces where I have to take my boots off and be barefoot or in socks, and touch people with my slippery hands. Working out/dance classes are more difficult because my hands and feet are so sweaty that they slip.Soooooo, I started putting this Dove Men's deodorant that I had on my feet every morning before putting on socks/tights/whatever for my day. My skin is also, of course, SUPER sensitive, so Dove Men's makes the skin of my armpits peel, and Old Spice gives me chemical burns, BUT the Dove Men's is working wonders on my feet! I love it. Highly recommend, and its cheaper than other options. My feet sweat less and my boots and socks dont smell like death! But after a week or so of deoderant-ing my feet, my HANDS started to sweat more and the worst part...they started smelling like sweat too. I figure that because it wasn't going out my feet, it started going out my hands. Nasty, right?SO, I decided to try this hand antiperspirant and its only been a few days, but its already working wonders. It has a slight de-odorizer smell to it, almost like gold bond foot powder, but it's not overwhelming. You do have to make sure your hands are COMPLETELY dry when you put it on, and give yourself at least a few minutes (I would give it 3-5 for best results) to let it fully absorb and dry. If you don't, then that's when you run into problems with it being sticky and tacky. It's winter here, and my hands are always at their most dry when I'm outside in the cold, so I've been keeping it in my car and applying when I drive somewhere. Usually in the am on my way to class and at night on my way home from rehearsal or work. But I'm going to be home all day today and it's warmer than it has been so I just applied when I woke up and sat with my hands in front of a mini fan like someone in a previous comment suggested, which I'm sure would be a solution for my summer weather friends out there. Mini fan and Voila! My hands are consistely more dry, not all the time of course but I did immediately notice a difference, and no more gross sweat smell. Different strokes for different folks, but I think this product is definitely worth a try if you struggle with sweaty extremities like I do.

I have had a problem with sweaty hands since I was a baby, they would get so sweaty they’d be dripping, and now as an adult with ADHD it feels like they’re sweating almost always. Putting the cream on, it does have a super sticky feeling but that fades shortly after and then leaves them chalky but after washing your hands, it goes away. It also does make your hands dry but nothing lotion won’t fix. After struggling all my life I wouldn’t mind paying double the price, it’s well worth it! I will be buying more!!!

I've been using this lotion for probably about 7 or 8 months now and while the first couple of months with it were great, it really helped to reduce the excessive hand sweating I had that was preventing me from using my PC fully, that has recently changed.Instead of providing actual relief from the sweating like it used to after I had done a few weeks of application, it now presents almost more issues than it's worth. The product never properly dries on my hands even in cool rooms with a fan running on them. This leads to situations where the lotion doesn't actually do its full job and while about 80% of my sweating is gone when it finally sets in around 15-20 minutes after application, I now have a gooey feeling film on my hands that's intensified by the sweating that does still occur.When I leave it on while I sleep as I do daily, I wake up and generally it has settled in by then and I'm good for a few hours until it rubs/wears off. Then when I go to reapply, I get the above mentioned issues.It's so frustrating because when it works, it's great. But when it doesn't it's frustrating and kind of demoralizing. I'm very torn on whether I can recommend it or not so given that, I'd say to look to your doctors for more permanent or proper solutions to hand sweating.

It works fantastic. Keeps my hands dry so I don't have to try and avoid shaking hands. I'm also allergic to sulfates and Carpe is sulfate free so I don't have to worry about getting hives from using it. Highly recommend this product. The only knock I have is the price. It's very pricey and I wish it was a little more affordable

This product really helped one of my pitchers who struggled to grip the baseball because his hands would sweat so much. After using Carpe, he was able to maintain a much better grip and pitch with more confidence without constantly wiping his hands. The eucalyptus scent is nice without being overpowering, and the lotion doesn’t leave his hands feeling greasy. Definitely worth trying for athletes who deal with sweaty hands!

Im a singer songwriter and had a gig on Sunday at a local winery here in Kentucky. The venue is outdoors in 90 degree heat so sweating in the hands is always an issue, especially when you fingerpick the acoustic guitar. I played my first song and made it through. As I waited for two other songwriters to tell their story and sing and play, I reached for this creme. As soon as I put it on, my three picking fingers stuck together. I frantically tried to wipe it off but it seemed to make it worse. I would never ever recommend this creme to anyone for anything. Simply worthless.

Excellent produit, très efficace qui correspond tout à fait au descriptif fait. Facile d'utilisation et non irritant ; ne tâche pas.

It did help me with my hands but after a while i got used to it & never works

No puedo dar la opinión sobre este producto ahora mismo pues pone q los resultados se empiezan a ver a las 4 semanas y solo llevo dos días con el . Yo lo compre por los comentarios tan buenos (era gente extranjera pues estaban en inglés ) que lei sobre el . Lo único q puedo decir es que llegó el día esperado. Editado12JUL2018. Después de probarlo unos meses este verano puedo decir q quita más o menos un 40%del sudor.. Supongo q dependera del grado de hiperhidrosis q se tenga. EDITADO a 19 MAR 2021..Si se combina con el perspirex manos , hace mejor efecto.

I tried 3 other products and none of them even came close to this one. Excellent results!

Ich habe mir die Creme bestellt, da ich sehr oft an schwitzigen Händen gelitten habe und mich immer sehr dafür geschämt habe. Bereits nach dem ersten Auftragen bemerkt man einen kleinen Unterschied. Allerdings kommt der Schweiß schnell wieder. Wenn man die Creme aber immer wieder direkt nach dem Händewaschen aufträgt, lässt sich schnell ein Unterschied feststellen. Meine Hände sind wirklich viel häufiger trocken. Meine Cremetube ist sogar noch fast voll und ich hab schon fast das Ergebnis, das ich haben möchte. Würde nicht sagen, dass ich das Produkt noch mal bestellen würde, da mir die Menge einfach vollkommen ausreicht und ich wahrscheinlich noch lange was davon haben werde. ;DKann sie aber jedem weiterempfehlen, der unter verschwitzten Händen leidet.
