NIVEA Stress Protect Deodorant Aerosol Review

This antiperspirant is marketed as protecting against 'emotional' sweating. As I was in the process of undergoing psychometric assessments for a new job, I thought I'd give that aspect a whirl as well as testing it out doing some heavy-duty gardening and lawn mowing. Did it work? Well, yes - about the same as my usual antiperspirant (a clinical strength stick deodorant). It did what an antiperspirant was supposed to do (albeit, in hot & humid Auckland summers, there's always going to be some sweatiness). However, not being a regular spray deodorant user, the initial spray was a bit of a shock to the system. For me, the only downside was the scent which I didn't like (although it faded somewhat during the day). I would use it though if my non-scented stick deodorant ran out.

It's ok - pretty average, definitely does not last for 48 hours.. You need to make sure you spray from quite far away, the white marks it leaves is pretty bad. I don't think it's much better than any of the other deodarants, I used it while I moved house and still sweated like a pig!

Great product - I wanted a quick drying deodorant to apply after using the gym, this product dried quickly and kept me dry even though I go on sweating (glowing?) for some hours later. Pleasant, not too overpowering fragrance, will keep buying.

I'm afraid I didn't really like this product & I didn't feel confident it worked as a deodorant either.... The weather is obviously rather warm at the moment so I would expect it to work in these conditions as well as stressful conditions but it didn't. It really caught the back of my throat each time I sprayed it & made me cough. I will not be purchasing this product.

I work in hot kitchen - long stressful hours. This helped way more than any other deodorants I have used in the past. Have already purchased full size.

Since sampling this product I have started using it everyday. I found it didn't last 48 hours but no deodorants that I know of last that long. It has a nice fresh scent and a great price.

Easy spray on, with no stinging. Had a pleasant smell upon application however I did feel that there was an odour after sweating. Did not irritate the skin and I have sensitive skin and it did not leave any white marks. Reapplication was required after exercise.

I'm more a roll-on person, but I use aerosols as well, mainly because they have a nicer scent (like cool charm). This deodorant isn't my favorite, I don't like the scent, I can't even describe it really, it's just weird (well, of course it still smells better than any natural armpit odour), it also doesn't help much with sweating, it didn't make any difference compared to any of my other deodorants. I have a very stressful job to be honest, but it isn't an excuse as it claims to help with emotional sweating. Well, it doesn't really do that... not for me anyway. I'm a fan of Nivea products, but I don't like false promoting. It's not a bad aerosol, but don't expect it to be your holy grail deodorant, it's nothing special about it sadly.
