[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the Secret brand before and have also used Secret clear gel products, but this was the first time I had used the Xtend Clear Gel. I wasn't sure at first what I would have to say that would be different from the other secret products, but now that I have been using it for several weeks, I would say that I haven't noticed a huge difference between this Secret clear gel and other Secret products that I have used, but that is a good thing because I have been extremely satisfied with other Secret products and this one does not disappoint either. When I first started using the Secret Outlast Xtend clear gel, I paid very close attention because I wanted to see if I noticed any differences between it and my older Secret clear gel I had just finished. The only difference I noticed between the two was that I had the impression that this one had a slight vanilla note compared to the scent of the other. I like the scent of this antiperspirant because I can only really smell it when I am putting it on. I don't smell it later on when I am wearing it. I occasionally enjoy wearing perfume, and though it is rare for me to wear it, I hate it when my deodorant competes with the perfume scent. Pleasantly, this one does not interfere. As for the 48-hour protection, I generally apply deodorant every day, so it was hard for me to "test" this feature. I'm a teacher and I don't want to take the risk of smelling in front of my students. However, a couple of times on the weekend I did go ahead and not put it on that second day just to see if the odor protection would last and it seemed like it did. Even when I worked out it seemed that my underarms stayed fresh (how do I say this delicately...I worked out hard enough that other areas might have smelled a bit sweaty--back, chest, etc. Sorry to shatter the illusion that girls don't sweat, but I only share this detail because this deodorant did work, even after a strenuous workout.) The packaging is nice and smooth. At first I found it to be too wide compared to some others (narrower deodorant sticks are more convenient to store in a medicine cabinet), but I think that the nice thing is that the wider surface might make it easier to apply the gel evenly. The one thing that sometimes deters me from purchasing a gel deodorant is that a long time ago I had a gel deodorant that, when I went on a trip and jostled it it my suitcase/overnight bag, would leak out a lot of gel into the cap area and then I would get way too much. I didn't do a lot of traveling with this one yet, but on a quick weekend trip with this one I didn't experience this problem. It seems to stay put until you turn it to dispense it. Maybe the gel is a bit thicker. Overall, I am quite pleased with this product. The one thing that I would like to see from Secret in the future is for them to come out with an aluminum-free anti-perspirant. There are a lot of smaller brands out there with more natural products. If Secret were the big-brand who took the lead in providing more safe and natural products, I'm pretty sure they would be unstoppable. I would buy that. In the end, sure, 48-hour odor protection is great. But if there were a more natural option available and it was only 24-hour (or even less--but would still need to be long enough for full work day/evening), I would choose that product. I would even be willing to pay a little more for it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Secret Outlast Clear Gel Deodorant free as a part of a campaign from the company. While I am not normally a huge fan of gel deodorant, I was overall pleased, and dare I even say excited about this one! To start with, Secret Outlast Clear Gel Deodorant smells fantastic. It is a clean smell without being in your face, similar to just a fresh air sent but at the same time not overwhelming. You wouldn't be able to smell it unless you nose was right up in my armpit (which would be a whole nother issue). The gel comes out very easily and does not get all plugged up or goopy like some other gel deodorants out there which makes the application clean and quick. And as promised, it does dry fast. However, not lightening speed. If I put on the deodorant and then put on my undergarments, pants and bra it will be dry by the time I put my shirt on, and I have yet to see any white marks on my clothes from it which is a huge plus. I am embarrassed to admit it, but I did go the full 48 hours without reapplication just to see how it worked. And as promised no odor or wetness! I don't think you know how big a deal this is. I am a huge sweater, while watching a movie I will have massive embarrassing sweat marks just because my arms were down for 3 hours. And I swear to you, in my day to day activities this was no longer an issue!! However, this product does not get the perfect rating in my book. I am an avid runner and am not impressed when secret outlast comes to fighting exercise. I put it on, waited for it to dry and started my run maybe within 5 minutes of application. It was a gross mess. The gel became sticky, and I was wet from sweat and gel a good 4 inch diameter around my armpit. Even when it dried the stickiness remained. Sad to say, I did this 2 more times and waited longer for it to dry, like 10 minutes because lets be real when you are exercising you are not going to sit around to wait for your deodorant to dry. Still, I had this gross issue so I would recommend staying away from it as your workout deodorant, which is a shame really because it does such a great job keeping your workout stench away. Still, for the day to day it is a stellar deodorant (gel and all) and I would recommend it to anyone, especially those girls who have had chronic issues with sweat. It does not fall short in what it promotes by any means!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the new secret deodorant but did not love. The smell was kinda wierd and sanitizer ish. It did last throughout the day but I just wasnt a fan of the smell. I kept thinking I smelled like an old ladys house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to use this sample when I was having a yard sale. It was a 90+ degree weather day and I was goning to be outside most of the day. I thought it was a great test of this. I love the scent and the ease of putting it on. This deodorant lasted the day, I could still smell the scent after I came inside. I have been using it ever since. I will need to pick up more. I will put this on the list of summer time deodorants.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Secret Outlast® Clear Gel Deodorant works better than I expected. I spend alot of time outdoors and this year has been extremely hot and humid so sweating is guarenteed, and I have had a hard time finding a deodorant that can stand up to all day use until now. This deodorant goes on clear and leaves zero marks on clothing while lasting all day long and still smelling great at bed time. Would recommend this to anyone looking for an amazing brand with a great selection of products that does its job as described.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response for about 3 years now and I thought I would never stray from that deodorant. After using Secret Outlast Xtend for the past 3 days, I'm seriously considering a switch! No White Marks!!! Lasts All Day!!! Clean Scent!!! I'll finish the product before I make my final decision but I am seriously impressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Secret continues to make another great product. No white marks and no sweat odor with secret outlast xtend. I love that they offer it in solid and gel. This gives options for people of all preferences.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am thrilled I was able to test this product out. I will definately be purchasing the Clear Gel variety in the future! I have always used solids and never bought a brand that claimed such long lasting protection, but I must say this is my new fave! I love that it is very coooling & refreshing when you put it on, and it also dries really quickly! No waiting and feeling like you have wet, sticky armpits (which I have experienced with other of the similar type of deodorants). I also must say their claim for 48 odor protection is pretty ligitimate too. I have done intense workouts and not had any embarrassing armpit odor, which is great for when you have errands to do after the gym.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never been a fan of gel deodorants because they never dry fast & they seem to always get my clothes wet right after I apply it. This formula was much better than I expected. It dried faster than others I've used and the smell was really nice. We've had an extremely hot summer in Seattle and this held up even while I was running around in the heat. The scent lasted all day but wasn't overpowering. I still prefer the classic invisible solid, but I would definitely recommend this to anyone who prefers the gel formula.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got to try Secret Outlat xtend for free from Bzzagent and P&G. This deodorant is great I love that fact that is unscented. I can be sensitive to perfumes and dyes causing sneezing and skin irritation but not this time. When they say it goes on clear and stays clear they mean it. No chalky white lines what so ever! I also got to try the Secret outlast a few months ago so I was curious to see what the difference was. They bought claim long lasting odder protection. They use the active ingredient Aluminum zircnium octachlorohydrex gly. The Outlast uses 16% and the Xtend uses 17%. I cant tell the 15 makes a difference, no wetness for me. The only reason that I gave four star instead of 5 is because this product is not recommended for people with kidney disease.
