Rexona Clinical Protection Review

This is the only thing that I have found that works for me, I always has a issue with sweating and was embarrassing as nothing worked. My mum suggested trying this when it came out, and bamm feel in love with it. A couple of cons with this though as it tend to get over my black clothes, and sometimes the mixture of sweat and deodorant seeps into my clothes which makes them small bad but other then that its my go to for deodorant

Yay, another useful March BRBB product. I received the summer strength variant and just love it, with its light scent.

When I first used it, I thought it was a bit odd as you have to twist a dial to release the product and I didn't feel like what came out would be enough to protect you, but it really does. ALL DAY!

I've tried similar products and have always been left with the feeling that they didn't really work, but this one has proven itself. I don't sweat excessively but think if you did that this product would offer you good protection. After a 10 hour day at work, I don't smell at all and I don't have wet armpits. On hot days I never think twice about how I smell as I know this has me covered.

Because its so strong and expensive, I have opted to save the rest of this product for summer, when I'll need the extra protection. Over winter I'll just use my normal cheap anti perspirant.

Good to use actually it's great however if you sweet it does leave patches on tops that turn yellow when washed. Also doesn't quite soak in and leaves a white powder around the pits

I have used this anti perspirant for years. I prefer this purple scented one over the others. I apply after showering. If I have showered at night I might use a dash of spray in the morning to sort of top it up the fragrance mainly.

There seems to be a large transfer of product to clothing- I notice particularly on whites there is a yellowing under the armpits of the clothing. I just use a spray stain remover but if it's been sitting a while it is hard to remove.

Recently I have also noted that my under arms get itchy, I feel that the product can build up under my arms and so have had to have a chemical break and am using a crystal deodorant for a couple of weeks to deodorant detox- but I tell you it makes you realise how good this one is in terms of sweating less!

In summer my top lips sweats- so my foundation comes off! I wipe a little of this across my top lip after showering and especially if I'm going out and it seems to help.

This deodorant is different from anything I have tried before with its creamy texture and the twist application is a good idea. This is the best deodorant I have used it works really well keeping you dry and fresh. The smell is nice and not noticeable once it's dry. The only downside is you have to let it dry properly so you don't get white powder on your clothes.

I was really happy to receive this is the March beauty box. Even though I am a bit of a sweaty Betty, I decided to save it for when I needed the extra strength most of all -either in summer or visiting a hot humid climate. I usually use roll on but I am a big fan of cream or gel formulas in this style of packaging. Unfortunately these are hard to find in NZ in normal strength.

This one is a cream formula with a strong, sweet, floral smell which I actually find quite pleasant. The cream is an opaque white. I have not had any problem with it staining my clothes as I do not get dressed straight away when I apply it. I get on with the rest of my beauty routine then dress. I also make sure I only use a small amount and rub it well.

I saved this for when travelled to South Korea. Even though it was early autumn there, it was unseasonably hot and got up into the 30s most days. Only on one occasion did I experience any hint of wetness or stickiness( and I'm pretty sure I didn't smell lol). I did apply it at night, as I was showering twice a day but I also applied it after my shower in the morning, purely out of habit. I'm not sure how effective it is if you don't apply in the morning but I think it would work fine. I think this would last a fair while as you don't need to apply much.

I will definitely buy this again for travelling in hot climates. It's not something I would use year round though as I don't feel I need the extra strength and there is a big difference in price from normal strength.

When I first opened this to use, I assumed it would be a roll on. The packaging is quite bulky and large and inside is a cream stick-like product and you wind it up it pushes through all these holes at the top. I have never seen this before and the concept was a bit weird at first! It took me a few goes to get the hang of how to use this and understand how much I needed to wind it up to get the right amount of product pushed out the top. I initially used to wind up the deodorant too much and it would be hard to use, as all this deodorant would be sitting at the top and it couldn’t be pushed back down. Once you wind it up, upon application, it turns into a cream and coats the underarms. This cream type of deodorant really interested me and I liked the different form for a change.

I think the size of the packaging is a bit too large, and could be designed smaller and more compact. The bulkiness is a bit hard to travel with, I would prefer something a bit smaller. It’s a see-through kind of plastic which I like, so I can see how much I have left. The nob at the bottom clicks when it winds up the product which I thought was a good indicator of how much to wind it up (by measure of the number of clicks required to get the desired amount of product). I liked how the top was dome shaped, it made it easier to apply for the underarm area.

The smell of this is really fresh which I like! And sometimes throughout the day I can smell it, and it still smells fresh.

The texture is thicker than the usual roll ons which I am used to, as this is a cream not liquid product. It was quite smooth and I found it easy to apply too much. This product needs to be spread well, otherwise it goes dry and flaky.

I don’t sweat excessively but I do have a really busy, packed day! I’m a physiotherapy student so I do a lot of placements and work in clinics and hospitals where I’m on my feet and going back and forth for long periods of time, as well as other classes and things. I found that throughout the day, this kept me really dry! I didn’t really feel any dampness or stickiness which was great. It also lasted all day and when I showered at night I had to make sure to wash it off, as sometimes it would still be there! It also kept me feeling fresh everyday, like no other deodorant I have used.

Overall, I really like this deodorant! I would say that it is better than the ones I have used in the past, and I would prefer to use this. I don’t know if I would pay $15 for a deodorant again, as that’s quite pricey, but I did quite like this once I got used to how to use and apply it.

I don’t tend to sweat a lot or even get underarm odour at all as long as I shower daily, but I definitely get that sticky feeling if I don’t apply deodorant, so I tend to reach for it every morning (unless I forget!). I used the ‘summer strength’ formula and it absolutely performed as it should. I really loved the formula - because it was a paste instead than a liquid, there was no wet feeling when I applied it, and no risk of wetness getting on my clothes. It also wasn’t cakey - I never saw any powder or patches go onto my clothes and I found that one twist was generally all I needed each day. It also seemed to last forever - I have had this bottle since pre-September 2015 (!!), and although I am alternating with another deodorant at the moment (and at one point it was three on the go!) I was super impressed with how long it lasted.

The only negative was that the design of the bottle meant it got a bit grimy after keeping it in my handbag, but this was easy enough to clean (or was under the twisty part at the bottom so wasn’t an issue in terms of it being near the actual product) and it was perfectly fine when just being kept in the bathroom/bedroom. I can’t say if it lived up to the ‘clinical protection’ part of its marketing because I don’t tend to sweat a lot or do a lot of physical activity, but I definitely always felt protected when using it.

I am wanting to look at trying a natural deodorant when I do run out of my next one - however I would happily keep using this one in the future if I was given it again or if I can’t find a great natural one. It has absolutely converted me from using roll on and is certainly value for money considering how long it’s lasted.

This is a rather expensive deodorant but if you struggle with sweating then it is definitely worth it, it works really well. It has a pleasant smell but you do have to be careful with it rubbing on your clothes because it will leave white marks. Will definitely be buying again.
