Certain Dri® is the #1 brand that doctors recommend for their patients with excessive sweating*, clinically known as hyperhidrosis, and is one of the original clinical antiperspirant brands.
Certain Dri Antiperspirant Clinical Strength, with 12% Aluminum Chloride, is the most effective antiperspirant you can buy without a prescription. Other antiperspirants may have aluminum complexes at higher percentages – but they are not the same. Aluminum Chloride is the strongest and most effective active ingredient available in antiperspirants and is the same active ingredient in many prescription formulations. Aluminum Chloride is the #1 doctor recommended active ingredient for excessive sweating** and is why Certain Dri Antiperspirant Clinical Strength is different from the rest.
*Based on a 2017 USA independent study, Certain Dri is the #1 doctor recommended brand for excessive sweating.

That’s because the active ingredient works best while you sleep to stop perspiration all day. It will not wash off the next day, even after bathing or showering.
Apply Certain Dri® sparingly – only a few strokes under each arm. To reduce the risk of irritation, be sure underarms are completely dry before applying.
You may wish to begin using every day until your excessive sweating is under control, then switch to using it every other day or as needed.
PLEASE NOTE: Certain Dri® can discolor clothing if it is not completely dry. Please allow 5 to 10 minutes for the product to dry.
Certain Dri® Antiperspirant Clinical Strength is intended for use for both men and women.
Any of the following factors, separately or in combination, can cause varying amounts of perspiration: physical exertion; mental or emotional stress; warm or hot temperatures; nonporous, heavy clothing; obesity or endocrine dysfunction; inherited factors.
When your body “overheats” as a result of any of the above factors, it activates the sweat glands, especially those in the underarm area (axillary glands), to produce perspiration which is emitted through your skin pores. The perspiration then evaporates to produce a cooling effect, thereby reducing the body’s skin temperature.
In its freshly released state, perspiration is generally odorless. However, when moisture exists in a confined and warm underarm area, the natural bacteria that are present multiply. As a result of decomposition products coming from the bacteria, the perspiration then takes on its familiar unpleasant odor.
A deodorant is any kind of fragrance used to cover up or deodorize one odor with another. While perfumes are generally used, some people use herb, fruit or musk aromas to disguise underarm odor.
An antiperspirant, as its name implies, should shrink and close off underarm pores to inhibit the flow of perspiration. The more effective the formulation, the more effective and longer lasting the antiperspirant relief will be.
Yes. Both underarms represent an area of only about 6 to 8 sq. in. Nature simply and safely redistributes the perspiration around to the other 2,700± sq. in. of the body’s skin surface.
