Wed Jul 22 2009A respectable anti-perspirant and deodorant with many scents to choose from. It leaves white residue on your clothes, so make sure you put your shirt on carefully. It also tends to wear off by late afternoon, so a re-application is in order if you’re going out at night.

Thu Jun 04 2009Yes, it works. However, I am not a fan of the signature scent of Secret. Even when other fragrances are layered on top, it still has an underlying whiff that can only be known as "Secret." It's a soft, chalky solid that will leave white marks on your underarms and on your clothes--but isn't that what all "regular" deodorants are?

Sat Jan 19 2008I completely dislike Secret anti-perspirant & deodorant. I tried this stuff and to put it bluntly, sweated like a horse all day. I never have a problem with sweating or underarm dampness but this stuff actually caused me to perspire. It also has a gross, white, thick consistency that is somewhere between Elmer's glue and cottage cheese. I remember that commercial they had where they say "it's strong enough for a man but made for a woman". Well I must have the ph of a horse because this stuff certainly was not made for me and I bet any man who might try wearing it is going to get pretty smelly.

Sun Feb 11 2007They put a smaple stick of Secret in the little welcome box they give out in college, so I tried it and loved it. I like the smell and the fact that it works well as a deodorant and antiperspirant.

Thu Oct 30 2003I swear by this!! Over the years, I've ocassionally tried different products, but I always come back to Secret...as others always seem to fall short.

Sun Jun 24 2001I went to a friend's wedding last month and wore a really pretty light pink dress that I had bought. The dress was light and sheer so I was worried that I would feel so embarrassed if anyone saw any perspiration on my dress, especially if I would be dancing a lot. I wanted to try a new anit-perstpirant, so I tried Secret. I had never used this brand before. It kept me dry during the entire ceremony, even while I was dancing. I don't think I felt even moist during the entire wedding. I love the scent. It's true that it is a bit like some baby products, but it's very feminine and light. It's definitely a scent for a girl. I would recommend this product. It works well and it has a pretty smell. I'd say give Secret a try.

Tue Jan 23 2001This deodorant kept me dry and nice smelling throughout a non stressful and non athletic day. But as soon as I began to heat up, Secret did not kick in.

Mon Jan 15 2001I used Secret because a housemate had it in the house. It did not keep me dry throughout the day. It's loaded with chemicals and the commercials on television were offensive in the company's initial advertising blitz. Not very pro woman.

Mon Jan 15 2001Secret Original smells great and for a period of time can hide your secret also. It is good, but it does not last all day (six hours).

Thu Jan 11 2001Secret keeps the body stink away, but it replaces it with weird feminine stink like baby powder. EEEWWW. However, it does work.

Thu Jan 11 2001This deodorant works good when you first start using it. They have deodorant scents that help you smell good. The bad thing is that if you keep using it your body gets used to it and it doesn't work so well.

Tue Jan 09 2001It is no good. The reason is because you have to keep reapplying it all day. You start sweating and you get a wet feeling under your arms.

Mon Jan 08 2001It works really well. I love the baby powder smell, even though the regular smells like a lighter version of the baby powder smell.

Mon Jan 08 2001This is all I wear. It does the job for me. It has never caused me any irritations or rashes.

Fri Dec 15 2000Secret is horrible. It clumps up under your arm. It stains clothing and actually promotes sweating which I find ironic. It smells good but it doesn't do the job. It's one of the most expensive brands as well.

Mon Dec 11 2000I love Secret Original. I've been using it for eight years now and it's the best anitperspirant I've ever used. I just put it on in the morning and I'm fine for the rest of the day.

Sun Dec 10 2000I know it's PH balanced for a women, but Secret gets the job done. It lasts for well over twelve hours and it goes on smoothly. It does leave a white residue, but that's worth the results. Secret keeps you fresh and smelling clean and that's what counts. I have been using Secret for at least three years and no matter what comes out, I know I can always depend on Secret.

Thu Nov 30 2000Secret Original manages to be the best deodorant I've tried but I'm still not completely happy. I wouldn't say it's an anti-perspirant as no matter how much I put on, I still sweat. However, the "sheer dry" formula I do appreciate it is the first one of its kind that truly leaves no white mess!

Mon Nov 20 2000I like this product because there are different scents to choose from. The deodorant works well by keeping me dry.

Mon Nov 20 2000This is a great product. It smells very good. It is also a reasonable price.

Thu Nov 16 2000I hated this one. It gave me little red bumps and didn't even work well at all. This has to be the worst deodorant I have ever tried.

Fri Nov 10 2000Secret is a good deodorant for when you first wearing deodorant. It is like 'my first deodorant'. It works when you are like 13 but as you get older and you need something a little more strong, Secret doesn't work. It is a light soft scent that is good for girls but I reccomend getting something more strong as you get older.
