- Driclor Solution - 20ml
Driclor Solution 20ml is a smaller-pack antiperspirant treatment intended to help control excessive sweating, medically known as hyperhidrosis.
Driclor's established formulation contains aluminium chloride hexahydrate 20% w/w, an antiperspirant ingredient that acts locally in the sweat ducts to reduce perspiration.
Driclor is designed for use on areas commonly affected by excessive sweating, including the underarms, palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
The solution is normally applied at night to completely dry skin and washed off the following morning. Once sweating is controlled, applications can usually be reduced to a maintenance schedule.
What Is Driclor Used For?
Driclor is used to manage excessive sweating in areas such as:
- Underarms: Helps reduce excessive underarm perspiration and dampness.
- Hands: Helps control sweaty palms.
- Feet: Helps reduce excessive sweating of the soles.
- Persistent sweating: Provides a targeted option when everyday antiperspirants do not provide sufficient control.
Driclor reduces sweating but does not treat every possible underlying cause of hyperhidrosis.

Smaller Pack Option

How Does Driclor Work?
Driclor contains aluminium chloride hexahydrate, which acts locally in the sweat ducts.
The ingredient helps form temporary plugs within the outer part of the ducts, reducing the amount of perspiration reaching the skin's surface.
With correct application, sweating may become easier to manage. The frequency of use can usually be reduced once effective control has been achieved.
