Dryello is a breakthrough over-the-counter (OTC) treatment for tinea pedis (commonly known as athlete’s foot), developed by Propedix to address a longstanding problem with conventional therapies: moisture & messiness.
Unlike traditional creams, sprays, and powders, Dryello is the first-ever dry stick antifungal (1% tolnaftate)—a mess-free, easy-to-use format that applies like a deodorant stick, goes on dry, and stays dry. This proprietary delivery system not only can improve compliance and convenience but also addresses the conditions in which fungal infections thrive.
Fungal infections such as athlete’s foot flourish in moist, warm environments—especially between the toes. While most antifungals focus on eradicating fungus, few address the underlying moisture that contributes to recurrence. Dryello’s unique dry stick formulation allows for precise application without adding moisture, helping both treat and prevent athlete’s foot.
Dryello combines the proven antifungal power of tolnaftate 1% with a revolutionary dry stick vehicle:

Dryello was developed by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Carl Schanbacher, who, as both a physician and a Athlete’s Foot Sufferer, recognized the shortcomings of existing treatments. His vision was simple: create a clean, dry, and portable solution to help people manage and prevent athlete’s foot with confidence and ease.
Athlete’s foot is a common and persistent fungal infection affecting approximately 50 million Americans.*
Characterized by itching, redness, and cracked skin, this condition often recurs, as the fungus thrives in warm, moist environments like locker rooms, showers, and sweaty shoes. Despite frequent treatments, many individuals experience recurring bouts of athlete’s foot, underscoring the need for effective and convenient solutions. Dryello offers a powerful, easy-to-apply dry stick formula designed to target the root of the infection and help prevent future flare-ups, keeping feet healthy and comfortable year-round.

Dryello Antiperspirant & Deodorant is a clinically proven OTC treatment for excessive foot sweat and odor. Formulated with Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex GLY 6%, it is the first dry-stick antiperspirant purpose-built for the feet — extending Dryello’s proprietary dry-stick delivery platform from fungal treatment into daily sweat and odor prevention.
Excess moisture is the root cause of both fungal infection and odor-causing bacterial growth on the feet. Dryello is applied through an applicator shaped and sized for the foot — reaching the sole and between the toes in a way a standard underarm or body stick isn’t built to do.
In a recent clinical study evaluating to lnaftate 1% delivered via Dryello’s proprietary dry stick formulation:
85%of patients in study had a measurable reduction in foot perspiration (gravimetric)*
Most patients met government clinical standards for “Very Effective” perspiration reduction.
