Hyperhidrosis - The best Antiperspirants for It

What is hyperhidrosis?

Sweating is a natural process our bodies use to cool down. However, some people experience excessive sweating, even when their body temperature is normal. This condition is known as hyperhidrosis. The Canadian Dermatology Association (CDA) defines Hyperhidrosis as, “A disorder that defines individuals who sweat more than the body would normally need to maintain optimal temperature.”

 

According to the CDA, Hyperhidrosis affects approximately 3% of the population – around 950,000 Canadians – of whom 300,000 have a severe form of the excessive sweating disorder. Living with hyperhidrosis can be uncomfortable and even embarrassing, impacting productivity, social confidence, and overall well-being. Many are unaware that effective treatment options exist. If you suspect you have hyperhidrosis, consulting a dermatologist is a positive step.

    Clinical protection
    Dove Clinical Protection Antiperspirant offers three times the sweat reduction of regular antiperspirants*. Dermatologically tested, it effectively fights sweat and odour, empowering you to face your day with confidence. During high-stress moments, like important meetings or tight deadlines, the last thing you need is worry about damp patches. Our Dove Clinical Protection Antiperspirant line helps you focus on what truly matters, like excelling in your presentation. If excessive sweating persists, consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment options for hyperhidrosis.

    Up to 48-hours of protection
    Constantly re-applying your antiperspirant deodorant can be time-consuming and inconvenient. For sweat and odour protection that lasts beyond a few hours, our clinical protection antiperspirant is an ideal choice. It's an extra effective antiperspirant, clinically proven to provide lasting protection against wetness throughout your busiest days.

    Care for delicate underarm skin
    Our Dove Clinical Protection Antiperspirant line helps reduce irritation from shaving or washing, thanks to its unique ¼ moisturizing cream. While your Dove antiperspirant works hard to protect against sweat and odour, regular use ensures soft, smooth underarm skin.
