Driclor Antiperspirant Roll On 20%
What Is Driclor?
Driclor is a clinically proven antiperspirant solution used to treat excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis. It's especially effective for the underarms, hands, and feet—areas commonly affected by this condition. Driclor works by blocking sweat glands to significantly reduce perspiration and improve comfort and confidence.
How Does Driclor Work?
Driclor contains the active ingredient aluminium chloride hexahydrate (20%), which works by forming a temporary plug within the sweat glands. This reduces the amount of sweat released to the skin's surface. Over time, continued use helps reduce excessive sweating and gives longer-lasting dryness—even after you stop applying it daily.
Benefits of Using Driclor
- Effective sweat control: Reduces sweating in problem areas like armpits, palms, and soles.
- Long-lasting protection: One application can last for days with continued use.
- Confidence-boosting: Helps minimise body odour and visible sweat patches.
- Clinically proven: Recommended by healthcare professionals for hyperhidrosis.
How to Use Driclor
Driclor should be applied at night before bed, when sweat glands are less active:
- Ensure the area is clean and completely dry.
- Apply a thin layer to the affected area (e.g., underarms, hands, or feet).
- Let it dry completely before putting on clothes or going to bed.
- Wash off in the morning with soap and water—no need to reapply during the day.
Start with nightly applications until sweating is under control, then reduce to 2-3 times a week for maintenance.
Who Can Use Driclor?
Driclor is suitable for adults and children over 12 years old. It should not be used on broken, irritated, or recently shaved skin. If you're unsure whether Driclor is right for you, speak to a pharmacist or doctor for guidance.
Side Effects and Precautions
Some users may experience minor side effects, especially during the first few applications. These may include:
- Skin irritation or redness
- Itching or stinging sensation
- Dry or flaky skin
To reduce irritation, ensure the skin is completely dry before applying. Avoid using Driclor immediately after shaving or on broken skin. If irritation persists or worsens, stop use and consult a healthcare professional.
