Sweating — or as I like to call it, “glistening.” We all do it. Whether you’re just naturally on the sweatier side or you’re into working out, a good antiperspirant is essential and can be hard to come by.
In fact, over the years I’ve tried several different brands, and I’ve had a tough time with some of them. I have really sensitive skin overall, and some products I had used in the past actually caused me to have underarm cysts on a regular basis (gross, I know, but we’re talking about sweating so we’re kind of on a not so sexy topic from the get-go).
Over the years I feel like I’ve tried them all. Different brands and scents, and the one I keep loyally repurchasing is Secret® Outlast™ antiperspirant (and speaking of Secret®, I also love their clinical strength antiperspirant, especially during the height of summer). Outlast™ says it offers 48 hours of protection, but really no one needs that much protection because you shower once a day, but hey, I’ll take all the extra protection a product can offer.
What I appreciate about this antiperspirant is it does not irritate my skin; it works all day (and night, no need to reapply), and it goes clear when you apply it.
The true test for any antiperspirant is how it performs after wearing it all day and then hitting the gym at night. As I mentioned earlier, I never have to reapply this antiperspirant before a workout (even the grueling ones with my trainer). It continues to protect as I’m “glistening” away.
I also live in Texas, and in October we’re still having some days in the 80s and 90s, so while some ladies might be able to get away with a super mild product, I need the extra protection of a 24-48 hour formula. I also find that the powder scent isn’t so overpowering that it competes with my perfume.
Though antiperspirant isn’t as glamorous as lip gloss, blush and bronzer, I’d argue that it’s just as essential — if not more so. Finding one that works for you should definitely be a priority when it comes to your hygiene routine (it’s kind of on the same level as finding the perfect whitening toothpaste).
Speaking of products that are part of your everyday routine, feel free to visit Have You Tried This Yet from P&G to learn more about high performing products from Procter & Gamble brands like Crest®, Olay®, Pampers® and Tide®. Other than Pampers (obviously), I have used products from all of these brands — in fact, TIDE’s “Free” laundry detergent is the only one I buy for my regular loads (I do use a special sport wash for my Lululemon clothing) and Crest’s Glamorous White is my favorite whitening toothpaste (it really does help fade stains).

I would love this, especially since I take clothes for the gym after work I always seem to forget my deodorant!
I have never tried this brand of deodorant, but it sounds like I need to! Throughout high-school and college, I was constantly searching for a non-prescription deodorant that would actually work and not make me smell like a man. (Yes, I was using men's deodorant at one point because the women's deodorant just wasn't working well enough for me). I really like the fact that you said that this brand goes on clear, because my current brand does not! I also feel like I am still reapplying way too often (up to three times a day), and I just don't have time to be stinky. lol. I need to go buy a new deodorant soon, and I will be trying this brand out. Thank-you so much for your review.
I workout a lot, so it would be nice to wear a tank top in full confidence knowing that I will not offend my fellow gym-goers. 😉
I always have so much trouble in the store deciding which deodorant to buy. I know which one I'm trying next!
It already fits into my life. It's amazing and really lasts all day and a workout.
I love Secret Outlast. It's the one I use everyday. I love how it lasts and doesn't need reapplied.
1) I love your blog and all your youtube videos! truly a fan because we both share being tall and having a unique(better than saying huge or weird) footsize & share our love for the same stores! (lululemon is one of my insane obsessions) keep on blogging! Also congratulations on you and your husbands pregnancy!
2) I'd would incorporate Secret Outlast into my everyday life whether it be in the morning while getting ready for a normal day or when I go to the gym. I'm don't excessively perspire but I do get sweat pits occasionally and this would be a perfect way to help control those moments!
This deoderant sounds amazing, I am a major sweater and have been struggling to find a good deoderant for a while. i would run out right now and get this butttt being 9 months pregnant myself, I am terrified of using aluminum based deoderant. Especially since I plan to breast feed. I use an all natural deoderant right now and it kind of sucks. Have you thought about deoderant or natural products now that you are pregnant? I was never really into it until I got pregnant. I would love to hear your thoughts on this!
I still might buy it after I stop breast feeding because sweat is such a major issue for me.
This is perfect for me. I run after a toddler all day long…talk about sweating! 😉
I have never used this brand but next time I go to the store I will pick one up. I can't wait to try it out. I have been using Dove for a while but I was wanting to get a new deodorant so this is perfect!
I use the secret clinical strength! I definatly need long lasting deodorant to get me through the day, this would be perfect!!
I'm a personal trainer so I use a lot of deodorant!
It's hot in Florida, so I could definitely use this!
I like Secret Clinical Protection in the summer, too. I'm going to keep an eye out for a sale on Secret Outlast. I'd like to try it since you mentioned it doesn't leave white marks.
I love Secret, although I haven't tried the outlast yet. I'll have to pick some up next time I run out.
How would this fit into my life? I teach 6 year olds all day and the come home to a 2 year old each night… I don't sit down, I'm always on the move!
Secret® Outlast™ antiperspirant would be great for when I work out!

I totally need this! I work out almost every day, and I feel self conscious about how well my deodorant worked, especially long workouts!
I'm always on the hunt for a good antiperspirant. Because I also live in Houston, I find that I need something extra strong. It's also important to me to protect my garments for sweat stains, which a good deodorant can help avoid all together.
Secret Outlast antiperspirant would be a welcome addition to my life! I need to find a new antiperspirant that will carry me through the work day to the gym with confidence, so I will definitely give the Secret Outlast a try!

Need this for the gym for sure!
This is a must for me at the gym!
I'm chasing around my 3 year old son and one year old daughter…I may stink from playing in the dirt or from baby drool..but it would be nice to know I wouldn't stink from my deodorant not working! I'm looking forward to giving this a try!
Did I mention I sometimes put deodorant on 3-4 times a day because I can't remember if I already put it on? 😉

I love Secret! The Secret Outlast would be great for me. I currently buy Secret Clinical strength and sometimes it's hard on my skin. I would like one that is strong enough but not to harsh on my skin.

Help diminish odors when working out at the gym.
I would love to use this after the gym!
"Glistening" always reminds me of Growing Pains. Mike Seaver: "Glistening? glistening like a pig!" Ha! Anyway great tip about the product. I too, am always on a hunt for good antiperspirant.
Have a great weekend!

Thanks for this review. I definitely want to try this now and will get it when my current deoderant runs out.
I've resorted to wearing my boyfriend's deoderant and I would love something more girly since wearing his is just wrong! 🙂
This would definitely fit into my life since I've resorted to wearing my boyfriend's deodorant since nothing else works! 🙂
I would try this, looking for an antiperspirant that doesn't leave white film on my armpits for all to see at the gym!
I'm on the go all day and need an antipersterant that can stay with me.
I used Secret Clinical for my wedding day and was confident it would work all day long. I still found myself reapplying just in case. I'd love to give this a shot with my new crazy lifestyle. I work all day, followed by playing with baby, late night at the gym and then TV time with the husband. If this deoderant can last all that, I'm sold.
This would hopefully last me through the long workday (12 hr nursing day) plus time at the gym after!
We just moved to Florida from Colorado. I *need* this deoderant!
I actually picked up some of this deodorant today after having read your post! I have been searching for a strong deodorant for awhile and am hoping this one works – I have a feeling it will. I am a stay-at-home-mom but that doesn't mean I'm just sitting around all day… our days are pretty crazy.
Hm, I'd love to share it with my sister who has been struggling to find the perfect strong deodorant.
Well, I'm always on the lookout for new products to try, so this would be fun to try!
I'm constantly on the hunt for a great feminine deodorant since I practically live at the gym and it's kind of embarrassing to admit that I generally rely on Old Spice to keep me dry during my workouts! I'm definitely giving this one a try!
I have to live through Dallas summers and warm "winters". Antiperspirant is a necessity!
It would be awesome to finish a zumba class and not worry that I smell 🙂
I would love to try this. I have not been able to find an deodorant that I love and that works. I am a busy mom of 2 boys and work full time. This would fit in my life!!
Sounds worth checking out! I know I seem to pour sweat after my bootcamp class! This will help for those days
This would help for my bootcamp class days where I seem to pour sweat!
I would use this after the gym. Hopefully no treaks left behind on clothes!
I would love this, I work long days at the hospital with all kinds of stresses and temperature changes from cold to hot and then I bring clothes for the gym after work and I always seem to forget my deodorant or need to reapply!
Thanks
I would love to use this before working out or even after work as I'm on my feet all day!
This would be awesome to put on before my runs!
This product seems awesome. I would simply keep one in my purse for WHENEVER I have armpit emergency 😀
I would love to try this product since I also live in Houston and it is muggy and hot 90% of the year!
this sounds perfect for the gym!
Like you, I live in a warm climate ( Florida). I am a teacher and am outdoors a lot. I need a deodorant to keep me smelling fresh!
I'll admit, I "glisten" more than I'm comfortable admitting. And I work in an office where the temperature is very unpredictable – freezing one day, roasting hot the next! This makes it hard to decide how to dress, but if I wear this deodorant I know that if it gets too hot in the office, the glistening is kept to a minimum 🙂
I would love to use this product as my every day deodorant! Especially on days I go kickboxing! Thanks!

I'm a heavy sweat-er and I love Secret Clinical Protection, so now I would love to try their Outlast version!
As a busy new momma, I'd pack it in my diaper bag so I'd have it with on-the-go!
Secret Outlast Deodorant keeps me dry and clean all day long!

I normally use a deodorant (without an antiperspirant) but perhaps I'll try this out in the future.

Living on a farm involves work, which involves sweat. A great antiperspirant is a must.
I definitely need a antiperspirant that I feel confident that will keep me dry during the day, while running errands, and chasing a few of the little ones.
I actually use this and love it. Works for me all day long.

If it's as good as you say it is, it'd become my best friend. Literally, a deodorant that works GOOD on me is hard to find!! I had to go through high school sweating like a pig because I had not yet found a GOOD deodorant. At the moment, I'm using another Secret deodorant… the Clinical Strength one… and it really works!
