Dermadoctor MED e TATE®

What it is:30 medicated hyperhidrosis-control wipes in handy single packettes that create a blissfully dry existence.What it does:Med-e-tate your way to a blissfully dry existence with a technique so simple, it simply requires the stroke of a towelette. With a patent-pending formulation that contains the most recent antiperspirant therapy which includes a blend of agents that mimic the effects of Botox Cosmetic when applied topically this product alleviates the need for cumbersome anti-sweating devices, such as ineffective topical prescriptions, drowsiness-inducing Rx meds, and costly and painful Botox Cosmetic injections or invasive surgery. This product contains the highest potency antiperspirant available and contains botanicals to help maximize dryness. The harmonious union of dermatologist-recommended antiperspirant therapy and innovative "needle-free" technology, replaces a perspiration-filled reality with a supremely dry state of consciousness. The individual packettes easily fit into purse or pocket for discrete use whenever needed.What else you need to know:Hyperhidrosis is defined as excessive sweating that occurs, despite a person being inactive. Medical hyperhidrosis affects 3 of Americans. The face, underarms, palms, soles, areas under the breasts, cleavage, and groin areas are most commonly affected. You don't have to have hyperhidrosis to need MED e TATE(R): Sweaty hands due to anxiety from dates, job interviews, and the curves that life throws you are embarrassing and MED e TATE(R) helps prevent this. Also, it keeps makeup from melting on a hot day and prevents fashion emergencies due to wet spots under breasts, underarms, and inner thighs. It may also help temporarily improve the appearance of fine facial lines.

The best thing ever!

Quick Take: effective, true anti perspirant
It works. I've been using these for the small of my back where I sweat profusely and they're amazing. I also use them under my boobs. One wipe is enough to cover a lot of ground, you just have to move fast because the wipes dry quickly. Skin feels a little tacky for a few minutes but once dry I don't notice or feel much of a residue. However, I have to wash my hands immediately after because it does leave a noticeable residue on my palms. But really, I swear by these. We'll see if they stand up to the humidity this summer but I can definitely say I am better off using them than not.

I use this product to control shine on my face. I still have to blot during the day, but not nearly as often, or as soon, as I usually would have to. Overall a nice product.

Quick Take: innovative, works as promised, easy to use
I have a bad problem with sweating; any kind of activity would cause me to sweat. I was considering an operation for under my arms. I never did that and thank goodness because MED e TATE has stopped my sweating in the worst places on my body. The wipes are easy to use and I personally only have to use one in the morning and it will last all day.

My niece has tried everything and these did not do the trick for her....looks like we are going to have to try something extreme. I think her teenage hormones has something to do with them not working for her underarms. Five stars to sephora though because they will refund you for products that do not work for you!!!!

i got these for my husband, who is the kind of man who drips sweat in 30 degree cold. he takes at least one packet with him wherever he goes and ive noticed that, once he's started sweating, and he's used this product, his perspiration is subsided substantially. of course its only where the product has come in contact with the skin (much to his surprise). the only complaint he has is that it leaves a residue that changes the texture of the skin and gives it a leathery feel. other than that, it does what it set out to do.

Works, but you might need more than one.

I sweat a lot, whether I'm outside or in a stressful situation. These wipes do work, but I find that applying two wipes to the area that I want to treat works much better and lasts a lot longer. After applying one, I let the skin air dry before applying the other.

These are ok. After apply your skin will feel very sticky for a few minutes. I applied these to my hands prior to an interview because I get sweaty palms when nervous. My hands were still sweaty but probably not as much as they would have been had I not used these wipes. Next time I will try to apply a few hours before to see if it works better.

I sweat all the time, mostly for stressful events. I was hosting a party, knowing I'd sweat through my shirt I tried the wipes. It kept me dry for about 40 mins and I continued to sweat through my clothes like normal. I'm gonna try use this before bed see if it works.

I suffer from a sweaty face so I bought these hoping they would work. They did to a very small degree- not worth the price.

Quick Take: clean, fresh, relieves anxiety
These wipes are truly amazing! I have major anxiety and I get hot flashes due to the birth control I'm taking. Sucks because I get hot flashes at random moment. One moment I'll be very happy, and all the sudden I'll start sweating like crazy or get really hot around my cheat area. A friend of mine gave me 5 and these wipes and these wipes last 6-7 hours. I use the wipes around my chest, armpits, and even my face a little. It's perfect for me and I would highly suggest these to anyone (even older adults who have menopause) who get hot flashes and have anxiety. My mom is starting to use them too! Thank you, Sephora! c:

Works if you are realistic

Quick Take: effective
I bought this after much deliberation. I suffer from excessive facial sweating. I know alot of people think they do, but I really do. I step outside for a second and the sweat is dripping from my forehead and the sides of my face, nose, everywhere, especially when it gets above 80. Just to be sure, I got a sample of the med e tate at my local Sephora. I used it for the first time on a particularly hot day this summer. The next day, I went out without using it. Both days had similiar temperatures (between 96 and 98 F). On the first day, while I was outside, there was some sweat on my forehead, but it did not drip down the sides of my face, also the other areas of my face were relatively dry. When I went out the second day, without it,, my face was drenched and dripping. That made me realise how well it had actually worked the day before. So I guess I would say, its not a miracle, you won't be as dry as a desert, but for me, it made enough of a difference that I purchased the full size, even though its so expensive. Also to note, this should go on your face BEFORE anything else. As a result, I have found that you should wait at least 5 mins before putting on your other products (moisturizers etc) I have also found that certain serums do not wear well over this and start to pile. That being said, this is not a product I use everyday. I use it before special events/functions (makeup wears well over this) and on those really hot days that I need to presentable for something. Finally, your face will feel tight after the initial application but this goes away once you have put your moisturizer on.

I am the type of person who happens to sweat quickly since my body gets hot easily which is extremely annoying. I sweat a lot on my lower back and absolutely hate it. I got a sample of this product and tried it today. I was waiting outside (in a car for over an hour) for my mom while they ran some errands and normally, my back is at least a tiny bit wet from sweat. I applied the sample to my back, my armpits, and the bottoms of my feet. I also applied a bit of deodorant to my underarm area. I was pleasantly surprised that all three areas, especially my lower back, stayed completely dry. I am definitely going to purchase a full package of wipes because of this.

I am a sweater...I like the idea, however it's a bit messy and the aluminum odor is discouraging. Use gloves to apply but it works well. Go for it..It's a bit pricey but when you are desperate, go figure.

Quick Take: a lifesaver
I live in SW Florida where 100% humidity is our norms for our 5 month summer! I sweat all the time and just glow going from A/C to heat and back and forth. These are a lifesaver when wearing sleeveless attire and being in crowds or events!
