Secret Clinical Strength Antiperspirant + Deodorant Advanced Solid

Experts say that Secret Clinical Strength Antiperspirant/Deodorant is nearly as strong as prescription antiperspirants but doesn't cause the same level of irritation. Secret claims this is due to the inclusion of skin moisturizers as well as the use of a gentler active ingredient. Although it is more expensive than most over-the-counter deodorants, users say that it really works to keep them dry all day long, and some claim that the protection lasts for days at a time, even after showering. Some reviewers complain, though, that the dial on the packaging is difficult to turn and that dropping the deodorant causes it to splatter. If you prefer a less expensive alternative, Mitchum Clear Gel Antiperspirant (*Est. $5 for 3.4 oz.) also gets good reviews and contains the same active ingredient as Secret. For the best results, Secret Clinical Strength should be applied to dry skin in the evening before bed.
