I just bought Secret's Clinical Strengh deoderant. First question,does it really work with perscription strengh, and is it invisible? I'm black, so I constantly face the issue of white clumps under my arms. I sweat alot, and I usually have to reapply deoderant. Ive tried Michium, regular Secret, Degree Spray, power stripe,teen spirit stick, lady spirit stick,and dove, and all of them werent good because they either werent invisible, left weird color marks on my clothes or turned the armpits of my clothes a nasty color, I had to reapply them all the time, it smelled weird after you sweat or it just smelled plain weird, or it would make me sneeze. Next, my new deoderant says to apply at bedtime for best results. I shower in the mornings, and sometimes I shower twice a day, after practice around 7 or 8 pm. Though I will wash off the deoderant in the morning, should I still use it at night? Is doing that a waste, or will it make me sweat less in the afternoon? Should I just wear less than 2 clicks at night? I know I will wear it after I wake up and shower, and after Phys Ed, and before games and during practice, so I'll be wearing it alot. Sorry this is long but thanks for the help!

Its sopposed to work really well:] but since your not gonna be able to go to the doctors right away if you go i found that i got better results by putting it on in the morning becuase i felt that it didnt work very well for me at night for some reason, but everyone is different so it may work on you. just try it on like the weekend so than if it doesnt work your not like screwed at school sweating lol. but i say try and get the perscription. and plus if you use the clinical strength everyday like 3 times a day like your saying your gonna end up going though it in like a week and thats gonna get expensive but the pescription last about 4-5 days with one use so its pretty worth it.. :]
According to the Secret website, you apply at night, but can put another application in the morning. They claim the plug-things won't wash out in a 24 hour period of time.
However, I found absolutely NOTHING saying it is clear. It claims to make plugs in your pores, or something on that order. It may leave white clumps, but I don't know. They aren't going to say the product leaves clumps, for certain. (I fully understand not wanting that- I'm white and it looks stupid on me, too, having them there like armpit dingle-balls. It's embarrassing.)
Maybe try it when you don't have somewhere to be the next day? Like on a weekend or something, so you can know for sure what it's going to look like before you go to school.
Another prescription strength deodorant is Certain-Dri, if you haven't tried that. Other than that, you may have to talk to your doctor and see if they can prescribe you something that will work and go on clear.
