This is the best doederant ever!! I never get unsightly pit stains while using this product, even in the heat of summer. Unfortunately its costs about double what other deoderants cost, but if you have trouble finding a deoderant that actually works I think this one is well worth the cost!
I know that we are all different and do not respond the same to different products, so I won't be too harsh. I actually got a great deal on Secret Clinical, so I wasn't too bummed that it wasn't that effective for me. I have a sweating problem. It's nasty and I have tried acupuncture for it. I also tried prescription deodorant, but I don't like using those smelly chemicals with my toddler around.
So my review: it didn't work for me. It smells fantastic, but I don't have an odor problem, I have a sweating problem!
This works SO well, especially if you use it everyday, but I find that it is still effective if I forget to apply it and skip a day. It says in the instructions to apply it before bed but I just ignore this and apply it in the mornings and it works fine. My only problem with it is that occasionally my armpits get really itchy - i used to use the sensitive skin one but I think they discontinued it as I can't find it anymore. Regardless, it is nice and fresh and does what it says it does!
Works wonderfully! Stops the sweating and the body odour, lasts all day, leaves a refreshing scent, and doesn't yellow shirts. I've had problems with other deodourants in the past either leaving yellow stains or simply wearing off over the course of the day, but since using this product, I no longer need to worry about those issues anymore. My only criticism is the price: it's more expensive than other deodourants.
This is by far the best deoderant I have EVER used. Sadly for me, I'm a very sweaty girl. It's embarrassing and I hate it because I sweat so much easier than other people it seems( even from just standing there...and in the summer...watch out! yuck). I haven't been able to use just a solid deoderant in years, so I've been using gel versions like Mitchum and Lady Speed Stick. They would all work for a while but then my body seemed to get immune to them and they stopped working. I have even tried prescription Drysol, which only helped a little bit.
I decided to give Secret Clinical a try but didn't have high hopes because nothing had been that amazing, but after using it I will never go back to anything else! It works so well. It is a gel powder, which means it's not a solid but not as wet as a regular liquid gel, and it dries immediately. I don't even have to wait long to put my shirt on, where with a regular liquid gel I have to wait about 5-10 minutes for it to dry or it will seep into my shirt. The scent of the one I use is light and clean and after you apply it, you don't ever smell it aqain.
It says to put it on at night, but I use it during the day because that's when I shower, and it works perfectly for me. With other deoderants, by the end of the day, I'm a little self conscious that I might smell bad-but not with this. I am so much more confident that my deoderant won't fail me when I'm wearing this. It's a daily must have for me. In the almost 16 years I have been wearing deoderant, this is the best one.
It is rare that I can actually say I love a deodorant. Actually, strike that, I don't think I have ever truly loved a deodorant. But this one, WOW.
I tried it out of desperation. Not that I sweat that much, or that it smells that bad, but really, I don't want to sweat or smell at ALL. And I did. With everything I have ever tried. I stayed true to Dove Deodorants for a while, and even though I liked them a whole lot, they were never really perfect (it just wasn't love). I didn't sweat dramatically less than before, and although I didn't get the dreaded BO smell, I could still smell the slightest unpleasant note mingled with my lovely cucumber and green tea (you know? or is it just me??)
Anyways, I decided to give clinical a try because I thought it would solve that. I wasn't a fan of Dove Clinical so I gave up. I mean, they're too expensive to shell out that kind of cash if they don't work! That is until I got a free sample of this guy and I haven't looked back. First off I'm dry as a bone. Secondly, not only can I not smell the deodorant, I can't smell even the slightest tinge of sweat either! It is applied at night and by morning my armpits are dry and smell fresh.
"Marathon Fresh" scent (it is the sport one) smells delightfully, something. Musky maybe? I'm not good at naming scents, but to put it bluntly it smells mildly like boys, but in a feminine way if that makes sense and I absolutely love it. Was it Secret whose slogan used to be "strong enough for a man, but made for a woman"? Because that slogan seems to sum up my feelings about this deodorant.
Ok I think I've gushed enough. Bottom line: I love it and don't plan to stop using it. Ever (if possible).
I've recently tried this new Secret clinical sport antiperspirant/deodorant in marathon fresh scent.
It's to be applied at bedtime when the underarms are dry.
It worked for me, it kept me dry all day and I love the fresh scent.
It's not sticky, clammy & doesn't crumble up under your underarm pits like some of the deodorants I've tried in the past.
I do recommend that women try this antiperspirant/deodorant and judge for yourself.
I was really skeptical about trying this one, and when I saw the price I said no way! Then I received a small sample through a website. It was the sports scented one, and right away I liked the scent. When I read the information I was suprised to see that you put it on at night, and wondered how that would work. Well, I tried it and I have to admit - it works incredibly! I absolutely LOVE this deodorant! I have tried other clinical strength deodorants and I broke out from them, but this one... no problems whatsoever! The only problem is remembering to put it on at night! I find that putting it on in the morning doesn't reduce the effectiveness but leaves white marks on your clothes. Simply put, this deodorant really holds up well in all the heat & humidity that we've had. And I've since gotten over the price and bought it in the sports scent and powder scent :) Its wonderful!
My roommate kept telling me about how clinical anti-persperant is and how you actually NEVER sweat muchless smell when you wear it...so I decided to buy it before I went South on vacation to put it to the real test! The verdict: It worked great, BUT (of course there is a BUT) it made my underarms feel like sandpaper! They actually kind of hurt, they were so sensitive. That being said, I do have sensitive skin so that could be the problem. I would recommend this to my friends, but warn them about the sandpaper-pits.
I received a sample size of Secret Clinical Strength Sport antiperspirant, and I am so glad I did! I'd seen it in stores, but at 2 to 3 times the cost of other antiperspirants, I was hesitant to try it.
This antiperspirant is the best I have ever used, hands down. I'm very used to having slightly damp underarms as I go about my daily routine (forget exercising!), and frequently change my brand because I seem to get used to them after a while. This one kept me completely dry all day. I haven't tested it during exercise, but my main problem with regular antiperspirants is that they don't really keep me dry during regular activities (going to work, walking to the park with my daughter, etc. -- nothing strenuous). This one did, and that makes it work every penny to me.
The only thing I had to get used to was putting it on at night. I have to keep it next to my alarm clock so that I remember to put it on! I was also skeptical about showering in the morning after applying it the night before, but this stuff stands up to regular showering, and the makers say that you can reapply it in the morning if desired (although I haven't found that to be necessary at all).
Overall: A great product -- even at the price.
