Stress Stinks, Literally! Secret Clinical Strength (Review & Walmart Gift Card Giveaway)

Whether it’s caused by a work deadline, chaotic day with the kids, or visit from the in-laws, stress stinks… literally! Out of the three causes of sweat—heat, activity, and stress—stress sweat has been proven to smell the worst. 

Luckily, Secret® Clinical Strength has got you covered when stress strikes. Moisture activated, and formulated with odor-neutralizing ingredients that release a fresh scent, Secret Clinical Strength is proven to give you 4 times* the protection against stress sweat.

 

I was recently provided with a Walmart gift card from Secret in order to check out one of their two new varieties of Secret Clinical Strength deodorants.  Now available in two new forms, clear gel and invisible solid, Secret Clinical Strength will help keep you feeling dry, fresh, and fearless all day long!  I chose to try the invisible solid, I just prefer a solid deodorant over the gel form.

I love how Secret Clinical Strength left me feeling cool, dry, and confident all day long.  I didn't have to worry about odor or wetness, and it left my underarms soft and smooth.  Whether I was at work, enjoying a family outing on the lake, or working out - the results were the same...  

Secret Clinical Strength helps protect you against the three major causes of sweat: 

  • Heat
  • Activity
  • Stress Sweat

Why does stress sweat smell worse?

  • Sweat caused by physical activity and temperature is produced by eccrine sweat glands, and is 99% water and 1% nutrients
  • Stress sweat produced from the apocrine gland increases bacterial, and Water + Nutrients + Bacteria = Odor

Secret Clinical Strength is available in three varieties and four scents:
  • New! Clear Gel -  Leaves NO white marks!
  • New! Invisible Solid -  Goes on dry and stays dry!
  • Smooth Solid - Contains skin smoothing conditioners!

Scents:
  • Sport Fresh
  • Completely Clean
  • Powder Protection
  • Ooh-la-la Lavender

*vs. wetness protection required of an ordinary antiperspirant

  77. I get stressed by my coupons expiring before I get to use them. The other thing that stresses me is that they make you buy 2 of an item so you are spending more just to save something. I wish the manufacturers would cut out this practice since in effect, we are only saving on the advertising.
