NIVEA Stress Protect Deodorant Aerosol Review

Super strong and powerful antiperspirant spray. I usually use roll on sticks but I think I may have been converted! Compared to roll on, this product is clean, dry and fast to apply. From what I can tell it doesn't seem to leave marks on clothing either. And most importantly it works! Applied in the morning and at the end of the day I still feel as fresh as the morning. I can't say I have been in many stressful situations to test that aspect of it, and I haven't been without a shower for 48 hrs to see if it lasts that long! But I would definitely feel more confident relying on this product over any other if I needed extra protection. I have to say I don't believe it is "gentle care" as per the label. Applying it after shaving it definitely stings! But that is my only niggle. Everything else about the product is great and the stinging doesn't last long. And I had no redness, rash or any other irritation. I usually buy the products for sensitive skin.

It was a happy coincidence that I happened to have one of the most stressful work weeks of my life when I needed to do this review - so definitely used at a time when I was at my worst and needed a bit of extra protection.

I have to say it exceeded my expectations dramatically. My previous experience with Aerosols is that they last well for the first few hours but by mid-afternoon I would need to re-apply so had reverted to using the Rexona 48 Hour Extra Protection range because I could literally apply it in the morning and not have to worry at all. The Stress Protect however actually worked! I didn't need to re-apply and I even went to the gym and was still smelling fresh (well kind of LOL). I was a bit sticky though, it didn't really keep me dry like my other product so I probably won't change but I often have a spray back up in my handbag for emergencies and will definitely be looking out for this product in this usage.

I sprayed this as I changed my top today, during a stressful situation. (intense conversation) And I found that half an hour later I was still sweating! I wasn't super impressed, but didn't have high hopes as I am a roll-on user and have been for years. I won't be purchasing this product and I wouldn't reccommend this to anyone. The smell was pleasent enough but if it can't do its job what is the point of a nice smell. Sorry Nivea, not happy.. back to the drawing board!!

I loved the scent of this product and it seemed to do all things it said it would. ie protect against sweat and odour. I tend to use a deoderant rather than anti perspirant because of the bad press anti perspirants received some year ago and their connection to breast cancer. Does anyone know has this now been disproved?

I found the smell of this product to be a little strong for my liking. Whilst it did perform as a deoderant should, I do not think it was noticeably better and it did leave some white marks. Sweating from physical exhertion is probably more of a factor for me so I do not thing I will be using again.

I normally use Nivea Invisible (the one that doesn't leave white marks on black clothes). I had a couple of days when using it that I was in a rush and running around and it did feel like it kept me drier than normal. However every time I moved I could smell the deodorant and it was quite strong and overpowering. I will stick to my normal deodorant until they bring this out in an unfragranced version. Also found it left white marks on a black top.

Liked using the product, it wasn't sticky when applied, the scent was okay and it was easy to use. Not so good with the white marks you sometimes get wearing black, so room for improvement there. My week of testing wasn't very stressful so am unsure if it would be any better in stressful situations, some days didn't seem to last 48 hours!

I liked the scent - not overpowering but fresh. Easy application, this size is perfect for handbags.

It might just be me, but the smell really got up my nose. I often use a very light fragranced roll on as i wear perfume, but with this didnt put any perfume on. I read the instruction about holding the can 15cm from my underarm, but found to get good coverage had to spray for longer which really choked me lol. After about 20 mins i removed the tshirt i had on as the smell was strong. So next time i used it i brought it a little closer and did a shorter burst. Later every afternoon i found that it must have worn off and that i had to apply more. So all in all i was a bit disappointed with its performance. Everything about the packaging was perfectly fine. If anyone can make any suggestions as to what im doing wrong please let me know, as like i said ive used roll on for years as its always worked for me.

It seems to work well as an anti-perspirant. And my skin had no adverse reactions. However the scent is far too powerful.
