How to choose the right option
- Start with the affected area: underarms, palms, soles or multiple areas may suit different formats.
- Choose a format you’ll stick to: roll-on for precision, spray for speed, solution for targeted routines.
- Follow the label carefully: many strong antiperspirants are applied to clean, completely dry skin, often at night.
- Protect sensitive skin: avoid broken or recently shaved skin unless the leaflet says otherwise; reduce frequency if irritation occurs.
- Think about lifestyle triggers: stress, heat, uniforms and sports can influence what “enough protection” looks like for you.
- Know when to seek advice: new or sudden sweating, night sweats, or symptoms that affect your whole body should be checked with a pharmacist or GP.

FAQs
What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis means sweating that feels excessive for the situation and can affect the underarms, hands, feet, face or multiple areas. If sweating is new, worsening, happens at night, or comes with other symptoms, speak to a pharmacist or GP for assessment.
Are these different from normal deodorants?
Yes. Deodorants mainly help with odour, while antiperspirants are designed to reduce perspiration. Hyperhidrosis products are typically stronger and may be used as a treatment routine rather than a standard daily deodorant.
How do I use strong antiperspirants to reduce irritation?
Follow the product label and patient information leaflet. A common approach is applying to clean, completely dry skin (often at night), then using less frequently once you reach a maintenance routine. Stop and seek advice if irritation is significant or persistent.
Can I use hyperhidrosis products on hands and feet?
Some products are suitable for palms and soles, while others are intended mainly for underarms or broader areas. Check the product page and leaflet for approved areas of use and practical application tips.
What should I do if sweating is sudden or I feel unwell?
Get medical advice if sweating is sudden, generalised, happens at night, or you feel unwell. Seek urgent help for concerning symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, fever, or unexpected weight loss.
Can I use these products if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?
Some products advise checking with a healthcare professional first. Read the label and leaflet carefully and ask a pharmacist or GP for personalised guidance if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medicines.
Important: This category supports responsible self-care and does not replace medical advice. Hyperhidrosis can sometimes be linked to an underlying condition or medicine side effect. If symptoms are new, severe, widespread, or concerning, speak to a pharmacist or your GP for tailored guidance.
