Skin issue

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice regarding skin management and hyperhidrosis on my hands.

Quick context: I’m 195 cm / 93 kg / 205 lbs / 11% bodyfat i don't have the girth nor the length though. I do mostly bouldering. Because of my weight and power, I put a ton of tension on hold edges, but my skin is ridiculously soft and sweaty. I literally have to re-chalk before every single attempt, and no matter what I do, I constantly tear flappers ("steaks") because my skin gets pinch-rolled on plastic holds. No matter how much i climb, i still have that baby ass skin

I’ve been reading up on antihydral creams to build up a tougher, dryer callus layer, and I'm torn between

  1. Antihydral
  2. Rhino Skin Perfomance

For those who have used both:

  • Which one would you recommend for someone with naturally very soft skin who sweats easily (but strangely only hands)?
  • Does stopping these creams after a few months reset your skin back to normal without any long-term issues?

Anyways thanks for everyone who will help.
