Nice smell
It was a great deodorant with a nice smell that my wife loved. I got compliments from co workers as well.

Highly recommend the gel!
The Gillette Clinical Gel was a really great product for me. I have sweat quite a bit most of my life and it definitely helped curb the issue. I used it about every 3rd evening before bed and I could tell a difference after the first use.

Sadly Disappointed
I received the Gillette Clinical Clear Gel Antiperspirant/Deodorant as a free sample from Shopper Army. I have tried gel deodorants previously and have never been impressed so I was excited to try this new one since it is from a brand I trust. Again, I was disappointed. It left a gooey residue on my shirts and took a bit longer than I like to dry. It smelled great but I could feel it throughout the day which I don't like.

Perfect for hot weather
This is very strong deodorant. You put it on at night and let it do its thing. The next day you are left sweat and odor free and it lasts. This deodorant is perfect for hot summer days or sweaty situations.

Works Great
I tend to be a sweaty guy. I found this anti-perspirant to be very effective in preventing sweat. Other products would only work for about half the day. With this I was able to use one application in the morning and not have to worry.

Gel deodorant that drys nicely
I don't love gel deodorants, however, it was the scent of this one that kept me using it. It seemed to last a good while also. It dried nicely and didn't leave stains on my clothing. Easy to use and lasted a long time

Gillette Clinical Strength Goes Beyond
I have always felt better with gel antiperspirants, they aren't as messy with residue, go on very smoothly, and are easy to apply. Gillette Clinical Deodorant antiperspirant was everything I just mentioned plus a good mild scent, long lasting power. When I used it, the dryness stayed for several days. I highly recommend this to people that need clinical strength, and be aware it doesn't stain the shirts either.

Never received the product so I can't review
I never received the product so I cannot provide a review of it. It makes it difficult to satisfy the requirements if there is no product to evaluate. I usually have reliable delivery and am able to use the products I am asked to review and provide timely feedback, but it was not the case with this product.

The Best Clinical Deodorant by Far!!!
The Gillette Clinical Clear Gel Cool Wave Antiperspirant/Deodorant is by far the best clinical deodorant that I've used....and I've tried a lot of them! I applied this after my morning and evening showers daily. It goes on a little wet but dries quickly and when applying it the product goes on smooth and easy. It has a nice mild scent that I can smell throughout the day which I like . It doesn't stain your clothes either. It keeps me dry without even thinking about it. This product would be good for teenage boys and men of all ages.

Good choice for deodorant
Easy to use packaging, product smells good. Lasts most of the day. The packaging is appealing as well.
Verified member
Good deodorant
Used product for approximately 3 weeks with successful results. Provided good protection and has a pleasing odor. Product should work well for anyone but especially for those that require extra protection.
Verified member
Good but...
I applied Gillette Clinical Clear Gel Cool Wave Antiperspirant/Deodorant in the morning to protect sweat for the whole day. It's okay. The gel seems to be a little too wet. However, I would not use it for workout session. The price is a bit expensive for me. I'd recommend it but I won't buy it again.
Verified member
A bit messy, but works great
I used this product as I normally would deoderant: I applied it once a day after a shower. The application process is a bit wonky -- the gel comes up from diagonal holes in the top, and it's kind of hard to get the perfect amount to come out. It was also difficult to put this product on while wearing clothes. The gel would easily come off on my shirt as I went to apply it to my underarms. However, in terms of usefulness, the gel worked great. It didn't stop working after 24 hours of use, and it had a nice, clean smell.

Great protection for summer sweat!
I have used Gillette clinical clear gel every morning after a shower and before going out in hot summer day. It goes on smooth and easy. It keeps me dry without even thinking about it. I love it because its easy to apply and does all the work all day without you having to even think about being dry.
Verified member
Good product, nice scent, long lasting.
I used this product in the morning after my shower. It was a little tough to peel the wrapper off when first using the product and also a bit difficult to get the product started (to come out of the bottle). The product worked just fine, the scent was pleasant and lasted all day. If I have to knock it at all, I would say that it is pretty wet and possible the wholes are too bid on the packaging, but I generally have been an aerosol guy, so the "wetness" may just be me not used to this type of product.

Long lasting protection against odor
I used this product after my shower in the morning. The product went on smoothly and dries quickly. The scent was manly yet not too over powering. It did not stain my clothes. The protection lasted through 8 hours of work and an hour at the gym. I still smelled fresh. This product is perfect for men who need tough protection that lasts all day and into the night.

Great protection.
Used this product and liked it very much. Great scent and protection. Works great. Will try again.

Dry and clean!
I liked the product a lot. It kept me dry and smelling good for a good duration of time.
Verified member
great and convenient
While it says only to use underarms I have used on groin. I use it after morning shower and work outs. it comes out easily by turning dial. it smells refreshing and keeps me dry after a shower. I am less prone to jock itch since using it. It unique in how easily it applies. Perfect for guys who are in a rush and need to smell nice.

kept me dry all-day long.
Love it. The deodorant kept me dry all-day long after been out in the yard doing work.

Hard worker, even though not my favorite
A clinical strength clear gel format antiperspirant - exactly what the name describes! I personally am not a huge fan of the gel format but the clinical part works well, particularly since I am on the road a lot, sometimes for close to 24 hours and this product keeps working the whole time!
Verified member
Works, just seems like less product!
Let me start by saying when I first looked at the product to me it didn't seem like it was completely full. Seems like only a little more than half of the container had product in it! Which is still a good amount but Gillette clinical is not cheap. So yes I would expect it to be completely full. It does have this thick plastic thing that when you twist for the deo to go up, maybe if that was thinner they could fit more product. Just a thought. The scent is nothing special it's a very light faint scent. The performance of the clear gel itself does work and I feel it keeps me dry. I would probably still buy this if it were a good sale. But if not I would rather stick to the same Gillette brand but just a different deo. The packaging is a tinted blue color which you can still see through it, which I like. Because this deo is a gel form for me I give it a circle motion application to my armpit and feel like that's good enough. Lasts longer if I do it that way too!

I used this product for a week . It was ok i didnt really like the smell and i still felt wet under my arm pits.

Never quits on you.
Gillette Clinical keeps you dry all day long. Love the long lasting scent. Worked great, specially at the gym and those days where everything was go go go. Only down side was the product was smaller than average.

Decent Product, Though not for Everyone
I started using the Gillette Clinical Clear Gel - Cool Wave as soon as I received it. The product itself works quite well as an antiperspirant and deodorant, however, there were several things I disliked about the product. First, the fragrance. It was a bit feminine smelling for my tastes, as well as being quite strong. I don't mind my deodorant having a fragrance, I'd just prefer that it be more masculine and more toned down. Second, the consistency. The gel made my armpits feel very wet after using and for quite a long time afterwards. Again, this may be more of a personal preference thing, but I don't know anyone that is ok with their armpits feeling wet, especially after using a product that is supposed to help with that. As I said, the product worked well otherwise, though I didn't get the benefit of being a full day's protection if you put it on at night as instructed. It worked much better if I used it in the morning.
Verified member
Doesn't last as long as I expected
This is easy to apply, although be sure to read the directions on when to use it. It works fairly well for a typical day, but not great after a 20 minute workout. I had to supplement it the next day with a non-clinical strength product.
Verified member
No white marks
I used this Cool WAve every morning after a shower. I normally use a solid but do not like the white marks on my shirts. This goes on easy but never leaves a Dry feeling. Even at the end of the day still feel like I just put it on. The cool wave scent is stong maybe a little overpowering.
Verified member
I put it through the gauntlet, and it delivered
First off, I first used this product while camping. I am a big user of a different deodorant/antiperspirant, and I was skeptical of it when I started using it. It held up nicely and did the job well. I had zero complaints about it. There was no mid-day stench that I had to deal with, I didn't worry at all about how it was holding up, and basically, I forgot that I used it all day long, which was great. This stuff seems good for anyone that needs something strong enough for all-day protection from underarm smells because that's exactly what I need.
Verified member
Good but did not work for me
I used the product on a regular basis. I thought the clinical would help me from not smelling even after from sweating a lot. while I did like the cool feeling after applying the product I really did not see a huge difference on how it controlled sweat and smell compared to the regular gillete products I have used in the past. I did enjoy the application but the bottle is smaller and I just do not see the complete value in this product. I would recommend but it just did not work well for me.
Verified member
Would switch if the container was not so stingy
This deodorant is really awesome and works really well as an antiperspirant and the smell is really good (it is light and not overpowering so you do not feel of deodorant). It is a nice, smooth gel consistency that is easy to apply; however, in typical Gillette fashion, the package it came in was very small and it was not even 3/4 of the way full brand new. This seriously finishes the value because if you were to pay for this then you would genuinely feel ripped off. I would actually switch to this deodorant if this container was not so small and nearly empty because the product was so good.

Serious Odor Takes A Serious Beating
Holy Cow. My boyfriend was stunned by the effectiveness of the product because of how long it lasted. The Gillette Clinical Clear Gel Cool Wave Antiperspirant/Deodorant even made it through the next day's shower! When Gillette says 48 hour protection, they really do mean it. Gillette Clinical Clear Gel Cool Wave Antiperspirant/Deodorant dries super fast and tingled a little bit upon application, but no skin irritation. The Cool Wave scent lasted all day even though my boyfriend didn't apply a lot. Apparently clinical is still clinical even with just a bit of product. This Gillette Clinical Clear Gel Cool Wave Antiperspirant/Deodorant may have converted my boyfriend into using gel deodorant.
Verified member
No sweating with this antiperspirant.
This was the first clinical strength antiperspirant I have used. It makes a huge difference! With this antiperspirant, I don't think I noticed any sweat ever. Also for a gel, I loved the applicator. It has three groves in it which lets you control the output better.
Verified member
There are better "tough" options out there
The product works ok as a deodorant, but the packaging is pretty poor and it doesn't really smell amazing. It's really difficult to open, and once you finally start using it, you find that squeezing it by accident also dispenses deodorant, while you would only expect the wheel to do that. It doesn't leave too much residue, but it never really smells that fresh.
Verified member
Clinical in name only.
I used the Gillette Clinical Cool Wave gel on a recent ski and hiking trip. I thought that with the name "Clinical" this antiperspirant/deodorant would be perfect to keep me fresh all weekend. However, I was very disappointed. This product only kept me from sweating about half of the day and after about 10 hours i began to smell bad. This performance was far worse than my normal strength deordorant. I was very disappointed in this Clinical-strength product.

Kept me feeling fresh
I used this product after my shower and not only did it keep me feeling fresh but kept me dry during my work hours. I recommend this product to anyone but especially to those who work physical jobs like I do

Gillete Clinical deodorant review
I tested Gillette Clinical Clear Gel. It was the Cool Wave scent. It worked very good at keeping my armpits dry and fresh. It maintained it's scent throughout the entire day and kept working into the night time. I highly recommend this product to anyone who feels their current deodorant/ antiperspirant is not working well. It is definitely much stronger and works much better.
Verified member
Clean and good smelling deodarant
It was my first time trying Gillette Clinical Clear Gel cool wave Antiperspirant. I loved it right from the first time I used it. The fragrance was subtle without over powering and it kept me fresh throughout the day. I was pleasantly surprised that there were no marks or stains and that the product was longer lasting than I expected! I would recommend this product for anyone in the market for a new deodarant!
Verified member
Good product but nothing special
I applied this deodorant once a day and the scent was nice. I don't think it necessarily was better than any other Gillette deodorant that I have used in the past. I am active with sports and the product seem to protect against sweat and odor.

Pretty Awesome for A Gel
I am usually not a fan of gel deodorants because I don't like the wet feeling of gel, but I am pleased with the Gillette Clinical Clear Gel Cool Wave Antiperspirant/Deodorant . I like the cool sensation of applying it and it dries almost instantly. The cool wave scent is masculine and fresh, very appealing to my girlfriend. I am not a fan of the applicator because it is kind of difficult to start the flow. When I turned the dial at the bottom, it took some time for the gel to come out probably because I was going in the other direction at first. Why aren't there little marks or arrows to let people know which direction to turn the dial? I do not have extreme sweating issues so the Gillette Clinical Clear Gel Cool Wave Antiperspirant/Deodorant was strong enough to combat my perspiration and odor, definitely lasting for probably about 48 hours. The product is so good that there can be a little leftover in my pits after showering, but using my girlfriend's oil cleanser took care of that. Gillette Clinical Clear Gel Cool Wave Antiperspirant/Deodorant doesn't flake, stain, or screw up my clothes in any way. Gillette Clinical Clear Gel Cool Wave Antiperspirant/Deodorant keeps me smelling good all day and is perfect for any guy who wants to make it through the day focused on anything but his pits.

Great gel antiperspirant
One of the best performing gel antiperspirants I've ever used. Design of the applicator is better than any gel applicator I've used - from Gillette or otherwise.
Verified member
Great product, bad size
As for the product itself, it works great. However, the only thing I didn't like was its size. It is so small that you will need to buy three at a time to avoid having to constantly be going back to the store. As for the actual quality of the deodorant, it is remarkable. I've put this on on days where I have done an intense workout, and it is still working after my training session. Definitely impressed with its sweat protection.

Great Odor Protection
It was a great product for providing great odor control during and after sports. It went on without mess. It would be great for any active male who needs good protection.

Gillette Clinical Freshness
I used this product everyday for a week and was very impressed at how long it lasts,ultimate fresh is a wonderful scent and it also was a advanced solid deodorant/antiperspirant,by end of the day the fresh scent was still there,what an outstanding product,i would recommend this to everyone who wants to stay fresh smelling all day1

Top-notch Antiperspirant Protection.
Everything about this product is top-notch. It goes on easily. drys quickly. The scent is nice without being in your face. The protection really lasts even into day 2.
Verified member
Top notch gel
This gel is impressive. It goes on smooth, it isn't goopy or too wet. Rather, it slides on, seems to disappear and then gets to work. Throughout my work day, I could relax knowing that there was no smell or look from sweat. Even after a hard workout, my scent was fresh. I recommend this product for anyone who needs to be sweat and scent free (other than Cool Wave!) I found the gel to work just as good as a solid, which was my previous go-to for deodorant/antiperspirant!

Keeping your under arm area dry is a good thing
I used this product as an antiperspirant. This antiperspirant works well to keep you dry and the scent is pleasant and not over whelming. Anyone who wants a product that will keep your under arm area dry, then I would give this consideration.
Verified member
Not like the others
I like the smell of this deodorant but it's very wet going on. I also don't like that you put it on before night because the next day halfway through I felt like I didn't have anything on. I also don't think that there is much in the container. But it does smell good and works somewhat just not like other deodorants.
Verified member
So Fresh. So Clean.
This product applies with a fresh and clean scent. It feels fresh and clean too. Using this product, I noticed that I did not sweat through my shirts as I normally did. At the end of the day, I could still smell the product.

It works really well!
It smells like gin and you will not have to worry about sweating through your dress shirts anymore.

What I Needed
I was a little apprehensive about using a clinical deodorant. I thought I didn't need it. I was wrong. That's what I have needed this whole time. When "regular" deodorants just don't cut it you may need to take a step up. Gillette Clinical worked wonders for me. I work in a factory where we have varying climates. I can go from 90 degrees and sweating to 40 degrees within minutes. This works WITH me.
Verified member
Liked it!
I used this product during my workouts as I thought the clinical would provide a better protection than my normal deodorant. While it did offer good protection, it was honestly not much better than the other Gillette that I have already. I do realize that the clinical helps after much longer usage so I am going to continue to use it to see if it improves. The smell though was good and there was no residue.
Verified member
Good Product
I tried this deodorant after every shower. It works quite well and doesn't have any weird feel to it, but I didn't really care for the scent.
Verified member
Three days later and it still bothers me.
I am still suffering the effects of this product. I used it once three days ago and I still feel it. I don't know if it is just coated and I can't clean it off or if I am allergic to it or what. I will admit I put it on before reading the directions which say to put it on before bed. I put it on like I always put on deo, in the morning after I take a shower. It took a long time to "dry" and, like I said, I can still feel it there. I have not put on anything else since. I have had a similar experience with another brand of product, but to no wheres near this degree. This product may work great for you if you really have a need for this strength of product, but I will never use it again. USE WITH CAUTION.

clean refreshing and long lasting.
I wear the product daily. Product goes on clear so no staining on clothing. Gel glides on with no build up like I get from solid deodorants. Found the product to be clean refreshing and long lasting.

Works well when it dries and a nice smell
Gillette Clinical Clear Gel Cool Wave goes wet but smells nice. I put this deodorant on after my morning shower and it went out quite wet. It took some time to dry but after it did the deodorant worked very well. The aroma is nice too. The applicator is cool because it has small "waves" that the deodorant comes out of. This product would be good for people that do not have to rush in the morning waiting for the deodorant to dry.

Unique scent but very good product
This deodorant worked as advertised, but I'll be honest, I don't know why it's considered clinical strength. I was very impressed with the odor blocker. I smelled good for a full 24 hours, even after exercising in some instances. This was impressive and in this aspect out performs other deodorants that I have used. The antiperspirant didn't seem to be very effective. I was definitely still sweaty at times, granted, this isn't really different from any other antiperspirant I've used, so maybe I'm just a sweaty person! I downside was the smell. It's a pretty unique smell and something that I always found a little weird while I was applying it, but later in the day it seemed good. I'm not sure why my mind changed part way through the day almost every time I wore it, but it did. My major complaint is that it is a gel. I'm really not a fan of gel deodorants. They just don't feel good going on and seem to get their scent on a lot more than just my armpits. That is the only reason why I wouldn't recommend this product to a friend.

Stays on all day!
The Gillette clinical was an average size deodorant and was appealing in its all blue color. I placed the deodorant on right when I woke up in the morning and it provided a great scent. Throughout the day it lasted and prevented sweat. Once I got out of work and went to the gym I could still smell the deodorant and was sweat-free. Upon finishing the gym I did notice that it went away some but it still persisted. It kept me smelling great all day and sweat-free in all my shirts! I would highly recommend to anyone who is go-go-go all day and highly active. It will keep up with you!

Clinical Strength To Keep You Fresh And Dry!
I used Gillette Clinical once a day under each arm and I have to say it works great at keeping me dry and smelling as fresh as when I applied it all day long,which is very unique in that its more effective than other brands I have tried in the past .Gillette Clinical is good for any man on the go!!!

Keeps you dry and smelling nice.
Gillette Clinical did a great job keeping me dry and smelling nice. This a great for someone who sweats a lot. The one thing I find strange and hard to keep up with is applying it at night. Also, if you shower after a day of wearing it, it seems like it doesn't wash off. I liked the smell, but not used to the wetness of a gel. Overall i liked its effectiveness.

great product
i use it everyday and it works great. whether it is a workout or an evening out i do not have any worries about sweat or oder.

Good option for those that need clinical strength
Gillette Clinical is a good option is you need a clinical strength deodorant. It works effectively and blocks sweat all day. The dispenser is a bit confusing (you can't tell how much is being dispensed), and the initial smell is fairly intense. All in all this is a great option if regular deodorants aren't working for you.

Night Sweats Meet Your Match
As one who suffers night sweats this was a nice product to have because I woke up feeling fresh every morning before my daily shower. When I first opened the package I though man this is tiny, after reading the label I found it is for overnight use. The scent isn't over powering, and holds through the night.

The Gel Surprised Me
I used this product on one arm and my present on the other. I was very impressed with this gel product. It was not sticky like I expected it to be. This is a great product for those who don't like the solid products.
Verified member
Could've fooled me!
I think this is finally a dawning of the age where solids and their ability to protect because they coat is coming to a halt. The Clinical Clear Gel exceeded my expectations. It applied smoothly, dried quickly, lasted well into a 24 hour stretch still retaining a moderate amount of its scent and staying protection.

Definitely keep saying you dry all day long
I used this product at night before bed. It definitely gets the job done and keeps you dry all day. I have used other clinical antiperspirants before and not had any luck, but this product definitely works. The scent of this product isn't that great, but when you need something that works, the scent is the least of my worries. You can't really smell it unless you hold it up to your nose, but then again, deodorant is not supposed to really be like cologne. It's just supposed to keep bad scents away, which this does. I would definitely recommend this product, especially if other antiperspirants haven't worked for you. I think you could even get by with using this every other day and just using a regular antiperspirant on the days in between.

Nice and Effective Applicator for Good Deodorant
I liked the applicator for this product. It was not the typical applicator with lots of little holes. This one have several wavey slits that allowed the gel to come up through. It is a lot easier to control the amount of gel you get vs the typical applicator with nearly a hundred tiny holes. The product was effective and had a pleasant odor. I think anyone who uses and likes gel deodorant will enjoy this.

This antiperspirant was very good. It smelled great and kept me fro getting really sweaty.
Verified member
I'm not sure why this didn't seem to work well.
I expected this product to work really well. It didn't. Antiperspirant should be as effective as its active ingredient, based on how much there is of it. This is "Clinical" and has more active ingredient. Yet every day, I was sweating. The instructions say to apply it before bed. I didn't do that--that doesn't fit my lifestyle. Maybe this product is for people who want to put on antiperspirant before they go to sleep at night. That's not me.
