Secret Clinical Strength: beat the summer heat

You know how I said my face likes to sweat? Well, so does the rest of my body. I've tried a million anti-perspirants, from BAN and Soft&Dri to Secret and Dove, and honestly, none of them have ever worked that effectively.

Enter Secret Clinical Strength. As the site says, this stuff is prescription strength, without a prescription. And it really does get the job done - my underarms rarely sweat anymore, and after three hours of tennis in 90 degree humidity, I was only slighly damp at most (which for me, is AMAZING).

It's got three layers of defense - wetness protection, conditioners, and odor fighting capsules. It also comes in three varieties: hypoallergenic (nonscented), light and fresh scent, and powder protection scent. I purchased the light and fresh variety, and have to say that the scent is a bit much. I probably would have been better off with the powder or hypoallergenic varieties, so keep that in mind if you decide to try this out for yourself.

As a side note, I've heard some stories about bad reactions to the scented varieties, so if you have sensitive skin I'd stick to the hypoallergenic. It also seems that some people's bodies get used to it, making it less effective as time goes by...so I'll keep you guys updated.

Secret Clinical Strength is available at Drugstore.com for $6.99 (it's on sale!).
