Posting on behalf of teen DD

She has hyperhidrosis and is really struggling at the moment. Mitchum was her go to for a long time but it stopped working for her last year.. then switched to Dove Advanced spray which again worked very well for a while but has now gone down the same path. Driclor/Perspirex have been effective in the past but she can no longer tolerate the irritation that it causes.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I’m thinking that we’ll have to go down the Botox route again - she had it a few years ago and it was brilliant, no sweat whatsoever for a few months. I just don’t really have the £700 to fund it at the moment so any alternative would be very welcome..

I am in the same situation as your DD at the moment, I don't even know why I bother spending so much money on antiperspirant! Has DD had the one dose of botox allowed on the NHS? It's so effective, it's a shame only once is allowed.

Following with interest, and solidarity with your DD

Have a look at AKT London deodorant balm.
I love it ( I have no connection with the company, just a happy customer). Lots of good reviews.
