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.

When I was younger, all I cared about in regards to deodorants was the smell. It was such a treat to line up at the supermarket or chemist and sniff all the different scents, now my priorities have changed and all I care about is functionality. I always go for anti-perspirant, no more deodorants for me. You need that protection, and it's like Murphy's law that you sweat the most, when you don't want to.

As I said I'm a bonafide scent junkie, this smells almost citrus-floralto me. So it is fresh and inoffensive - the best way I could describe it would be a very fresh and clean smelling scent (no one likes those intense deodorants you can smell when you're around someone).

I've never tried a Nivea antiperspirant before, only their skincare (which I love), so had no preconceptions about the product before I tried it. For the most part I thought it was great, I'd definitely repurchase, but for me it didn't keep me completely dry for 48hrs (not that I expected it to either). I would be interested to know the aluminium content in this, to see how it compares to clinical strength antiperspirants (which claim 48hr protection as well).

I liked this product, and my skin can be sensitive (especially my underarms) but I had no negative reactions and was pleased with its ability to keep those nasty odours away (even at the gym/running).

Loved it - More effective than my normal deodorant. Would most likely buy again but I do love the scent of my current deodorant.

I really liked the smell of the Nivea Stress Protect Deodorant Aerosol, it kept me fresh all day, even in the 34 degree heat which we were experiencing in Christchurch yesterday.

I didn't suffer from any sweat or odour even though i was under stress during a hospital visit, and had to have an injection.

Even at the end of the day, i was still fresh and odour free and i had spent some time in the sun as well.

However, when i first applied the deodorant, the spray actually choked me and made me gag, i had to leave the bathroom after and wait a good 10 minutes before i went back in there, and even then, the spray was still lingering.

A good product for keeping you fresh all day, just spray in a large room with a window open.

It did not prevent sweating at all for me.It had a nice smell but that was about the only good thing about the product! I would not recommend it.

This deodorant does what it says! It significantly reduces sweating and leaves the underarm areas dry. It does not leave a white residual and has a subtle yet pleasant smell.

I have not been a fan of the aerosol deodorants purely because of the white marks factor, this one totally takes my worries away. I will definitely switch from the roll-ons and recommend these to friends.

It lasted around 6-7 hours which is reasonably good. It is a good deodarant but i do like other stronger brands better as i did tend to perspire still later in the use.

Was lucky enough to be on the trial team for this product and I am really glad I was. I have extremely sensitive skin so was a bit weary about trying this product as I find a lot of aerosol deodorants irritate my skin quite badly. I was plesently surprised when this one was gentle on my skin and didn't irritate it at all! I actually ended up wearing this on a day I had a big job interview (which was probably for the best as I was extremely nervous) I found it stopped me from sweating not only in a very stressful environment but it lasted all day. The smell was really pleasant and overall I actually really ended up enjoying this product. I cant really say anything bad about it.

I'm not normally a spray on deodorant kind of girl I like my roll on, but found that with the trial of Nivea Stress Protect Deodorant that it did keep me dry all day. Now I really put it to the test as I had just 4 weeks ago started going to the gym and come out a big pile of sweating, heated mess but I popped this deodorant on before going and when I left I was 50% better, hey its not a miracle product it doesn't eliminate sweat just kept me fresh enough to endure the workout without over stinking myself. I would recommend it to friends for sure and have already purchased a full can for my gym bag.
