Carpe Sweat Absorbing Hand Lotion (Pack of 2), A dermatologist-recommended, non-irritating, smooth lotion that helps stop hand sweat, great for hyperhidrosis or excessive sweat (Original Eucalyptus)

Ordered for my son, but he didn’t wanna try it. I’m sure it’s fine.

The first and best

Feels sticky when first applied then it feels like youre wearing powdered gloves. Smells kinda weird but overall good

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!)

I've been using this for six weeks and I can say that it does work but with a few caveats.I have some minor hyperhidrosis in my hands and true to claims a small dab of this with good rubbing for a few seconds does indeed stop my hands from sweating. Sometimes it doesn't work on my fingertips though, so I have to rub the cream in a specific way to get it on my fingertips. It's not the best, but I can probably chalk that to user error. Also, make sure you put only a tiny amount, just the right amount to cover your hands. If I put too much on, my hands take on a chalky texture and I hate it more than my usually mildly wet hands.Some of the problems are not user error unfortunately. For one, the box and the bottle state numerous times that you need to apply this cream twice daily for four weeks to see the full effect of it, which sounds like after about a month of use, those two applications will be enough to last you the entire day, but it's just not true. It ends as soon as I wash my hands, and then the sweating is back like I never had the cream on. At $17 per bottle when I bought it (which is now $19 as of writing this!), I simply can't afford to reapply this cream every time I use the restroom, it's just way to expensive. A 32 fl oz bottle of Jergen's lotion for $6 is enough to last a very long time and I don't feel bad about applying it after hand wash, but a 1.5 fl oz tube of $17 cream is just unaffordable.Another problem is that my hands have a really weird, sticky texture when I wash my hands. It's like if you pull something heavy, it moves then stops then moves then stops repeatedly. This is what it feels like to wash my hands every since I started using this cream twice daily. It doesn't feel nice. This texture persists through the entire day, so if you apply it at 8am and wash your hands multiple times throughout the day, your hands will still feel sticky when washing them at 10pm. I guess this suggests that the cream is still inside your palms, but then why does it lose its efficacy after a single hand wash?A final nitpick is that some of the cream dries inside the cap that pours the cream. The next time you flip the lid open to cream your hands, there are a few pieces of crusty, solidified cream at the tip that you should clean out with your fingernail because it's unusable material and will just get in the way of application if it does end up in your palm with the cream. Over time I would like to say this loss adds up quite substantially, maybe up to a quarter of the bottle is lost this way, it's quite disappointing.Apart from my qualms, it works fine, and has a nice scent to it, but I think I'm going to switch my schedule to using it for things like interviews and such, where it makes sense in the short term and doesn't happen very frequently. If this was cheaper I would feel a lot better about using it consistently or even applying after every hand wash, but at the current price, and likely the future inflated price, it's just not feasible.

Product works pretty darn good!
