Pros
Great formulas
Made from plastic-free packaging
Cons
Tricky refill mechanism
Great for sweat and odor protection, this Secret deodorant earned praise in our Beauty Lab for its reliable formula. It comes in a light lavender scent that promises to mask odors for up to 48 hours. The twist-up is a bit tricky, and we found its casing heavier than other options we tried. Still, we think it's a worthy antiperspirant option.
