This product works absolutely great son loves that it stopped his hand sweat

Well you guys this stuff actually works! Little background on me, my hands and feet started sweating when I was about 8 years old and it intensified through puberty and got so bad that not only did they sweat buckets, but they would swell up to the point where I couldn't even make a fist and my shoes became really tight and uncomfortable. I was also embarrassed to wear flip-flops or sandals because anyone who looked at my feet would probably wonder why they look like I had just dipped them in a bucket of water. Sweaty hands and feet have made so many things in my life difficult for me and I'm sure anyone reading this knows exactly how that feels. I thought about getting the sympathectomy to clamp the nerve responsible for everything but the side-effects scared me way too much and besides, I don't have 10K lying around to pay for the cost of surgery. The side effect that I was the most worried about was, compensatory sweating. I read about one person who got the surgery and although they stopped sweating in their hands and feet, compensatory sweating began occurring on their buttocks and they had to wear a diaper every day so the sweat wouldn't soak through their pants. I don't know about you, but that sounds WAY WORSE to me than living with sweaty hands and feet. And although the surgery can be reversible by removing the clamp on the nerve, it's not guaranteed. Did I mention Horners Eye as another side effect? Ya, droopy eyelids are so not the look I'm going for. I also did the shock treatment for a while back in the early 2000's and it was a long and painful process and the results were hardly worth all the trouble. Those were our options, people! Surgery or painful shock treatment. I still can't believe that a seemingly simple lotion has made such a difference in my life. I work as a photographer and holding a camera while my hands are sweating buckets is so difficult, not to mention embarrassing, as the sweat drips from hands and down my arms while I'm holding my camera to my face. Remember how I mentioned that my hands swell up too? When they swell up they also become super sensitive to the touch. So holding a camera while they are sweating and swelling is not only uncomfortable, but painful as well. Well I'm here to tell ya, this stuff actually works! I've been using it off and on for a few weeks now and I'm so thankful to the makers of this product for changing my quality of life. I use it when my hands are completely dry and I try to keep them from sweating for at least 30 minutes. As you can see in the picture, the areas where there are cracks in my hands are areas that are sweat-free. The areas where there aren't any cracks, are areas that have started to sweat but only a little bit. I took this picture about 4 hours into shooting a wedding outside in the 80 degree heat and normally under these conditions, my hands would be sweating/swelling and making my life miserable. As the night went on, the lotion started wear off but it was still not nearly as bad as it would be had I not used the lotion earlier that day. So even though Carpe lotion hasn't stopped the sweat 100%, its still enough that my quality of life has changed tremendously! I have a new-found confidence in almost every aspect of my life and my stress level has gone WAY down. It really is like living a new life without this dark cloud constantly hanging over my head. I'm going to end this with saying that if it hasn't worked for you, keep trying. Try to put it on when your hands are totally dry and do so at night before bed, in the morning, and once in the afternoon. Little side note, I have not used this on my feet yet. I wanted to see if it made a difference on my hands first before I purchased more for my feet. If anyone associated with Carpe lotion is reading this, thank you for making such a life-changing product. I'll be buying more to apply on my feet throughout the summer and I'll update this post and let you all know how it goes!

This is a lot of information to throw out there, but I just want you guys to know where I'm coming from when I say this has helped me, because I know I always read reviews before I buy stuff like this! My last paragraph is where I actually talk about the hand lotion. I haven't been officially diagnosed with hyperhidrosis, but I've always had excessively sweaty hands and feet. And I mean EXCESSIVELY sweaty. I grew up in Florida, and I knew I was more of a sweater than most people but I was just used the hot and sticky weather. But I recently moved to Michigan for college (I'm in my second winter here right now) and despite the rest of my body being way more cold and dry my hands and feet STILL sweat more than anyone else I know. I can't wear any of the boots I bought and wore my first winter here because they STANK. Having to wipe my hands on my pants before shaking hands is bad enough, but never being able to take my boots off in public also sucks. I'm a theatre major so I do a TON of contact work with other people in all of my dance/acting/movement classes. I'm frequently in spaces where I have to take my boots off and be barefoot or in socks, and touch people with my slippery hands. Working out/dance classes are more difficult because my hands and feet are so sweaty that they slip. Soooooo, I started putting this Dove Men's deodorant that I had on my feet every morning before putting on socks/tights/whatever for my day. My skin is also, of course, SUPER sensitive, so Dove Men's makes the skin of my armpits peel, and Old Spice gives me chemical burns, BUT the Dove Men's is working wonders on my feet! I love it. Highly recommend, and its cheaper than other options. My feet sweat less and my boots and socks dont smell like death! But after a week or so of deoderant-ing my feet, my HANDS started to sweat more and the worst part...they started smelling like sweat too. I figure that because it wasn't going out my feet, it started going out my hands. Nasty, right? SO, I decided to try this hand antiperspirant and its only been a few days, but its already working wonders. It has a slight de-odorizer smell to it, almost like gold bond foot powder, but it's not overwhelming. You do have to make sure your hands are COMPLETELY dry when you put it on, and give yourself at least a few minutes (I would give it 3-5 for best results) to let it fully absorb and dry. If you don't, then that's when you run into problems with it being sticky and tacky. It's winter here, and my hands are always at their most dry when I'm outside in the cold, so I've been keeping it in my car and applying when I drive somewhere. Usually in the am on my way to class and at night on my way home from rehearsal or work. But I'm going to be home all day today and it's warmer than it has been so I just applied when I woke up and sat with my hands in front of a mini fan like someone in a previous comment suggested, which I'm sure would be a solution for my summer weather friends out there. Mini fan and Voila! My hands are consistely more dry, not all the time of course but I did immediately notice a difference, and no more gross sweat smell. Different strokes for different folks, but I think this product is definitely worth a try if you struggle with sweaty extremities like I do.

If you have sweaty hands and it’s driving, you crazy this is the answer no medicine no nonsense. Just put a pea size dot in your hands and rub them together. It works phenomenal. I went from having severe anxiety to living life like a champ in one day again. I’m so happy to have my life back

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.

I got this for my little brother since he’s always struggled with sweaty hands, and it’s made a big difference for him! It dries quickly, doesn’t leave any residue, and actually helps keep his hands dry throughout the day. Easy to apply and doesnt leave a sticky feeling on your hands. Easy on sensitive skin and pleasant smell. Really glad I found this — it’s been a confidence booster for him and definitely worth the buy!

Sooo my teenage girl has hyperhidrosis and her palms (and feet) are alwayssss sweaty. It can be embarassing as a teenager with a new boyfriend, wanting to hold hands but also being afraid they'll be grossed out by your sweaty hands lol. We got a prescription of dry-sol for her to use on her hands and feet, but she also has super sensitive skin and it ended up making her skin peel....so that wasn't very helpful. She absolutely loves this stuff and says it works amazing. She carries it at school too. It helps her be more confident and does not irritate her skin or cause it to peel. Applies just like a lotion and doesn't smell bad. We have purchased it several times from Carpe's website but we were glad to see it on Amazon and get the free shipping.

Review: Carpe Antiperspirant Hand Lotion - A Life-Changing Solution The Carpe Antiperspirant Hand Lotion has truly been a life-changing product for me. While immediate results are not typically seen with antiperspirants, I personally noticed a significant improvement after just two days of consistent use. Starting with its scent, I must admit that it may not be the most delightful fragrance. However, once the lotion dries, the scent becomes minimal and barely noticeable. One of the remarkable aspects of this product is its longevity. It provides effective sweat control that lasts for a considerable duration. I have found that the more frequently I wash my hands throughout the day, the more I experience the reduction in sweat. It offers reliable performance even during daily activities that may typically induce sweating. When it comes to the value for money, the price of $20 may raise some questions initially. However, considering the unique effectiveness and the absence of comparable alternatives on the market, I believe the investment is justified. Additionally, despite the bottle being small in size, only a pea-sized amount of the lotion is needed for application in the morning and evening. This means that the product lasts a significant period of time, making it a worthwhile purchase. While a price point of $15 would have been ideal, I understand the justification for the $20 cost due to the unmatched nature of this product. Its ability to combat excessive hand sweating sets it apart from other offerings available. In conclusion, the Carpe Antiperspirant Hand Lotion has proven to be a game-changer in addressing excessive hand sweating. While immediate results may not be observed, significant improvements can be experienced within just a few days of consistent use. Despite its initial scent and the higher price of $20, the lotion dries to a minimal fragrance and offers long-lasting sweat control. Considering the small amount required per application, the value for money becomes more apparent. Although a price of $15 would have been ideal, the unparalleled effectiveness of this product justifies the investment.
