A formula a decade in the making, Secret DERMA+ Antiperspirant was designed in response to research that showed 40% of women experience noticeable underarm shave irritation1 . That same research demonstrated that 60% of women want skincare benefits in their antiperspirant and deodorant products2. With these women in mind, Secret ushers in the next frontier in underarm care by combining superior sweat and odor protection with skincare-inspired ingredients such as coconut oil, aloe and vitamin C.

“Visibly healthier, smoother underarm skin is at the heart of Secret DERMA+ Antiperspirant’s innovation,” said Nilima Shenai, Senior Director, Global Antiperspirants & Deodorants R&D at Procter Gamble. “In collaboration with female dermatologists, our team designed a new formula and a new application and usage experience that addresses women’s underarm skincare needs while still delivering the superior sweat and odor protection women have come to expect from Secret.”

Secret DERMA+ Antiperspirant’s innovation extends to its unique packaging as well. Its first-of-its kind squeeze tube packaging is different from the standard deodorant stick and has a rounded, soft-touch applicator designed to minimize friction points against the skin, making the application experience as smooth as the formula itself. To apply, simply give the tube a light squeeze and apply directly to your underarms.

“We talked to hundreds of women of color who also want a solution for underarm skin discoloration,” shared Dr. Maiysha Jones, Senior Scientist at Procter & Gamble. “Secret DERMA+ Antiperspirant provides clinical-level sweat and odor protection, it was designed to visibly improve skin health, and it helps promote visibly even skin tone.”

Secret DERMA+ Antiperspirant is accredited by the Skin Health Alliance, a global organization of independent dermatologists and skin scientists who have verified Secret DERMA+ Antiperspirant as safe and effective.

Now available at mass retailers nationwide for $7.99 in four variants, including: Nourishing + Coconut Oil, Even Tone + Vitamin C, Cooling + Aloe and Fragrance Free.
