"Rip-Off Strength" not catchy enough?
I know you've seen by now the ads for Secret Clinical Strength antiperspirant. I was going to get over my shock at the almost $8 price tag and try some. Luckily I decided to read the label first. I thought they were using some new ingredient that made it stronger than regular antiperspirants. Nope, they're using the same Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrex GLY that they've always used. This time is 20% instead of 19%.
Not worth 3 times the price.
Especially not when I can get Mitchum (for women) with 20% Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex GLY for the same price or less than regular Secret. I don't know the difference between Trichlorohydrex and Tetrachlorohydrex, but 4 is more than 3 so maybe it's better. Either way, Secret Clinical Strength can gather dust on Target's shelf.

check it out...if you want some spooky/scary "fun."
Hey Samsara,
I totally hear you. I use Certain Dri Antiperspirant, which contains 12% aluminum chloride, the recommended ingredient by derms for treating excessive perspiration. I was tempted to try SC but then realized (like you) its the same ingredient as SCPlatinum and almost all other antiperspirants on the shelf. Certain Dri is only $5.50 and only needs to be applied 2-3 times a week. Why don't you give that a try? They also just came out with two new products for sweaty feet. I love it because I can wear my sandals and not slip and slide out of my shoes. Anyway, good luck.
Anon,
Thanks for the comment. I told Lass by IM last night that Certain Dri is cheaper and is a different chemical. I do use it and it works just as advertised. Don't you love when that happens? lol
My problem is remembering to put it on at night. If it has been more than a few days since my last "dose" I use a regular antiperspirant in the morning. I thought Secret might be the stand-in, but nope.
Have you tried the Certain Dri daytime product?
