[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a fan of clear gel anti-perspirants for decades now. I'm talking about back when Arrid was only X-tra dry. I loved how they really covered the skin - it made me feel safer, like all of my stink-releasing pores were being silenced. So, when Secret released their first clear gel, I was all over it - or, rather, it was all over my underarms! Although, I wasn't impressed by the gel's staying power. Halfway through the day, I'd feel a bead of sweat break through. The scents were good, but they were no match for gym class! I've been paying attention to Secret's advances ever since, which is why I jumped at the chance to try Secret Outlast Xtend. I had already been using Secret Outlast, which boasts 48 hours of protection, but I was curious to see how they could improve upon near perfection. I'm a scientist, so I like to put product claims to the test. If you promise to provide 48 hour protection, I'm going to set up scent checks at evenly-spaced intervals to make sure that you're not slacking. I did the same with Secret Outlast, which - I'm pleased to report - was successfully odor-blocking for at least 40 hours. (Don't judge, I HAD to take a shower... what am I? A camel with questionable self esteem?) I recently set up a similar test for Secret Outlast Xtend, and I'd like to share them with you. The experiment got off to something of a false start. What I didn't realize was that, in order to get a clean slate (after months of using Secret Outlast) you really need to scrub, scrub, scrub your underarms. During my first trial of Xtend, I started to feel "breakthrough wetness" after about 2 hours. I'm pretty sure it's due to the fact that I hadn't removed the top three layers of skin from my underarms before I applied the Xtend. Cut to application #2: I scrubbed until it hurt, I dried my underarms thoroughly, and then I applied a silky layer of Xtend. I started the clock. At 10 hours, I got home from work with dry underarms. I got ready for bed, with dry underarms. I woke up (it was a weekend, so I didn't feel like a complete slob), with dry underarms. At 24 hours, dry. At 36 hours, dry. I made it all the way to 53 hours with dry underarms - until I had to halt the experiment for work-related shower reasons. This stuff does what it promises. Based on my rather crude experiments, it does it better than Secret Outlast. Granted, it's an N of 1, but I'm pretty impressed. Now, if only Secret could make Outlast Xtend available in CocoKiss scent (which is one of their summer scents) or the "pink" scent from the 1990s Smells Like Teen Spirit by Mennen. Oh, that's right, I would like a different scent, because I don't LOVE the scent. It's perfectly fine, but it's not something that I look forward to smelling, which is why I'd recommend a different group of scents. But, if your priority is staying dry, there's no better choice!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The scent is light, fresh, and clean without being overpowering — it smells like crisp laundry and layers well with perfume. Effectiveness-wise, it holds up all day with odor and sweat control, though it’s not 100% sweat-proof during heavy workouts. Ingredient-wise, it’s free of parabens, dyes, and alcohol which I love, but it does contain aluminum (so just know that going in). The clear gel packaging is sleek, no chalky white marks, and easy to toss in my bag — just let it dry before getting dressed. For the price, it’s not the cheapest but definitely fair for the performance, and I’d say worth the money for reliable everyday wear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed this bzzagent Secret Outlast Xtend campaign! It's true - I have had AT LEAST 48 hour protection, every day since I got it in the mail! The best thing about it is that there are no white marks! I wore a black shirt for new years with no worries. Not to mention it has a great smell that is not too powerful, but just strong enough to tell it is there. The clear gel goes on so smooth, and actually does not make my sensitive skin break out like many other brands do. I've told ALL of my friends about this amazing stuff!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Secret Outlast Antiperspirant and Deodorant provides strong sweat and odor protection that lasts most of the day, with a lightweight formula that goes on clear and feels comfortable. It comes in fresh, subtle scents and dries quickly without leaving residue. While it promises 48-hour protection, most people find it effective for about 24 hours. Some with sensitive skin may prefer alternative formulas, but overall it’s a reliable, long-lasting option for everyday use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how secret outlast really does outlast other deodorants I've used previously. It glides on smooth and dried instantly unlike others that left an icky sticky feeling afterwards. Usually I stray from gel deodorants but after giving this a try... I'm hooked! There no turning back now. This is a great products for other toddler mom's that I know are constantly on the move running behind their every step working up a sweat!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Secret Outlast to try and I’m impressed! It goes on clear, doesn’t leave white marks on my clothes, and keeps me feeling fresh all day. I love the clean scent—it’s not too strong but lasts, even on super busy days, it definitely gives me reliable protection from morning to night. Great everyday antiperspirant at an affordable price!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always avoided gel deodorants because when I first tried one in my teen years, I remember it feeling like a slippery, uncomfortable mess that didn't help with wetness control at all. So I was really excited to be a part of the Bzz campaign for Secret Outlast Clear Gel deodorant. After a shower, I put on the gel and it glided on easy and dried surprisingly quickly. I put on a black dress with a black over shirt and as seen in the picture, no white marks! Absolutely nothing left on my clothes at the end of the day, and I was really surprised at how dry the gel kept my underarms all day. It worked better than my usual clear solid deodorant, that would leave white marks on my clothes, would need to be reapplied to keep dry and odor free, and never seemed to fully dry on my skin. I will definitely buy Secret Outlast Clear Gel deodorant in the future. I'm so glad I got a chance to sample this product for free because it absolutely converted me!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was at first hesitant of this product as I usually stay away from gel products. Although I don't like the wet feeling, I was surprised how quickly it dried. It also had a pleasant scent. Although this was an okay product for what it was, I will be sticking to dry stick deodorant.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this deodorant. First off, it smells really nice. Secondly, it does as promised! Not once since I've worn it have I had smelly sweaty pits! Before I was wearing Almay, and had not so great coverage. I have no complaints with this and I recommend it for anyone who wants to smell nice while having 48 hour protection.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using the secret outlast xtend clear gel everyday for a little while now and since day one it never seemed to last very long. You could still smell the scent of it but you could also smell sweat and body odors. The scent is kind of sweet and floral and it is great until it begins to fade. When it goes on it is a gel that comes out of little holes instead of just being a "solid gel" like most gel deodorants. So it being more of a liquid gel it goes on pretty wet. You have to give it about a minute to dry before putting your clothes on. But if you don't let it dry and your in a hurry it will not leave residue on your clothes like most solid deodorants. It might leave a slight wet spot but it does dry and it dries clear from what I've experienced. If they could work out the formula to make it actually last as long as it supposed to I would definitely buy this and give it more stars but until then it's only worth 2 stars in my book.
