Secret Antiperspirant Deodorant Protection Protecting Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "One swipe under each arm in the morning and it gave me a protection like no other for 48 hours."
• "I would say 90% of the time no odor develops within 24 hours."
• "It does not sting after I shave. It dries fast and it really is all day protection."
• "It takes one swipe, dries really quickly, and NEVER leaves white residue."
• "It goes on smooth, dries quickly, smells great, lasts all day, and doesn't stain my clothing!"
• "It offers protection for the entire day without having to worry about having to reapply later on."
• "It keeps you dry and odor free long pass the 48 hrs that it claims."

Cons:

• "Why, oh why, Secret, would you release a product that burns like fire on freshly shaved skin?"
• "It didn't last 48 hours for me, while I did get through a full work day and evening, 48 hours would not have happened."
• "I've used it probably a dozen times and have never made it to bed that night without the feeling of needing to re-apply."
• "There were some hot and sweaty days this summer well this barely lasted 24 hours."
• "Then, it only worked for a few hours, and only if I wasn't doing something strenuous. Definitely didn't work for 48 hours."
• "After using this for nearly two months, I have to say it's definitely not as good as it was initially."
• "I still notice some body odor every now and then."

Scent

Pros:

• "It had a very pleasant smell that didn't overwhelm me or get overbearing the longer I biked."
• "The smell of this isn't overpowering and it goes on smooth."
• "The scent was nice and not overpowering."
• "Scent is clean and fresh, not overpowering."
• "It has a wonderful fresh scent that reactivates as your body temperature changes."
• "It smells good and it keeps you feeling dry and clean!"
• "I love the scent and the fact that it works well with my body chemistry."

Cons:

• "I don't love the scent (completely clean) - it's a little too sweet smelling, almost cloyingly so."
• "After just applying the deodorant my husband asked me if I had just brushed my teeth with my daughter's bubblegum flavored toothpaste."
• "I thought I'd try something new for me, but, wow, I had to shower soon after because I developed a headache from it's scent!"
• "This does have a medicinal smell but I'd rather smell like medicine than musky so it's worth the trade off."
• "But it smells overwhelmingly strong of chemicals like a mixture of paint thinner, tar, ammonia, bleach, dead fish, burning styrofoam."
• "The scent was too powdery for my liking, and strong enough to interfere with my perfume."
• "The completely clean smells a little medicinal to me."

Application & Texture

Pros:

• "Won't rub off on clothing and doesn't tend to leave 'pit stains' in white t-shirts."
• "It goes on completely clear and I did not have to worry about it showing up on my black shirts either."
• "It dries by the time you can reach to get your shirt."
• "This product goes on easily, comfortably, with no mess, and has a great scent."
• "Does exactly what is says...it goes on clear and more importantly it stays clear...NO WHITE MARKS!! None!"
• "It goes on clear, dries very quickly and seriously, it lives up to the hype....it lasts 48+ hours!"
• "It applies cleanly and doesn't feel wet or goopy on application."

Cons:

• "Then when you glide it on, it's very cold and slimy and you have to wait a minute or two to dry otherwise it leaves a wet spot."
• "The gel felt weird going on, and it didn't seem to give proper coverage."
• "The wet/sticky feeling on application was unpleasant, even though it did dry quickly."
• "My only dislike with gels is the dry time and the wet feeling under your arm after applying it."
• "It is very wet and gooey/sticky when you first put it on."
• "I feel sticky after first putting it on, and then every time I sweat or get warm I feel wet and sticky again."
• "The only reason that I did give this deodorant 4/5 stars is that I can't stand the wet feeling of the gel before it dries and it burns when applying after freshly shaving."
