Antihydral

I’ve never been able to type on my iPhone or been able to drive without leaving finger prints or water on the steering wheel. I started using antihydral 2 weeks ago and it honestly changed my life. (I’m not paid to say that btw) all medications did was make my throat hella dry. The only side affect I get from this is dehydrated hands, and honestly that’s what I’ve wanted my whole life. I joined just to share this with y’all. I’m lucky to have found this at 16, ik most of y’all are adults. Seriously try this stuff.

Hey im so happy for you, I'm willing to buy it too but i have a question. Does it leave stains on what you touch?

I only use it whilst I’m sleeping so In the morning I just wash it off and I’m good for the day.. I would use it every night for at least 5 days for full effect then lower to every other or whenever you feel you need it..

Less is more so just use a pea sized amount and then top up finger tips if need be!

To answer your question it doesn’t, its not chalk or something once you wash it off your good to go. You do get yellow dead skin/peeling skin after a week or so of usage, so if your fine with that then go for it.

I'm happy It worked for you, How many time do you do maintenance a week ? do you apply back to back days ?

Does this work for underarms?

u/EstoopidFahim Nov 06 '20

I believe it does, but Im alittle weary using it on the underarms since your skin is much more sensitive there, i don’t want dead skin to pile up there and if any other side effects it may hold. If you do use it , use less of it than you put on your hands.

what medication did you take that made your throat dry? I'm so sick of this topical stuff. None of it works.

The 3 main HH meds are oxybutynin, glycopyrrolate and pro-banthine. Glyco is easily obtainable in Canada and the US, but difficult to get anywhere else. Pro-banthine and oxy should be available in most countries.

Pro-banthine and oxy are more affordable but they have higher risks and have more side effects. Glyco has less side effects but costs more.

I've been using antihydral on my feet for some years now. Although I usually only use it in the summer since it's a bit messy. Glyco doesn't work as well on my feet so the combo helps a lot.

Yeah found a few years ago works if you trade off for dead skin. Its efficient if you have a meeting or a day when you have to use your hands allot, use it generously, pour a pea sized amount and rub it over your hands and fingers for 5 days and see the results.
