When they first started coming out with all of these clinical strength deodorants, I scoffed. I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be embarrassing to admit that regular deodorants just aren’t working for you? Shortly thereafter, I came to the realization that I had never found a deodorant that I loved and it was time to stop scoffing. I tried Dove Clinical Protection first, then switched to Secret Clinical Strength, only to switch back to Dove (which tells you a lot).
Deodorant: Dove 8 – Secret 5
Antiperspirant: Dove 7 – Secret 4
Selection: Dove 7 – Secret 5
Price: Dove ($8+ for 1.7 oz) 4 – Secret ($8+ for 1.6 oz) 3
Final Score: Dove 26 – Secret 17
Recap: I’ve tried Dove’s and Secret’s regular deodorants and I liked Dove’s better, so the outcome of a competition between their clinical counterparts didn’t come as too big a surprise. I think the wetness protection in both of these products still needs some work, but Dove is waaaay ahead of Secret in that department. Another thing I love about Dove is their many fragrances. My favorite is Rebalance (plum and sakura blossom) but I’ve tried all of them (Soothing Chamomile is lovely too).
