Key takeaways

Antiperspirants are used to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). Antiperspirants work by blocking the sweat glands, which reduces the amount of sweat that reaches the skin's surface. These products come in different forms, including topical solutions and roll-ons. Examples include aluminum chloride hexahydrate (Drysol, Xerac AC).
