NIVEA Stress Protect Deodorant Aerosol Review

Was very interested to try this product as usually I cannot tolerate aerosol products. I also use a fantastic roll-on from a rival company which promises - and delivers - 48-hour protection, so I was curious as to how the Nivea product would stack up.

The upside? Easy to apply, gave me no rash unlike other aerosols I've tried, a great and subtle fragrance (slightly metallic but that's the zinc), no white marks on clothing, and no body odour at all which is brilliant.

The downside (and for me, unfortunately, a dealbreaker)? I still perspired. Admittedly, with no odour, but after about six hours in the summer heat, I had wet patches under my arms which is a big no-no for me. Now this may be an application error, so I will try the roll-on version as it may have better results for me.

Meantime though, I'm going back to my plain old (cheaper) Mitchum. It's reliable.

Well, if anyone was going to give a deo run for its money, it would be me! Im a mum of a 5yr old and a 16mth old. The day I started using this deo, I walked my son to school, ran back home, got toddler to swimming lessons, dropped toddler off at grandmas, went to work, school pick up, pick up from grandmas and then had friends over for dinner. Whew! It definitely kept up with me, and I remained dry. I love the fragrance because it isn't floral, instead its just really nice and fresh.

When I was chosen for the review I was really interested to try the Stress Protect product - but when the sample arrived and I saw it was aerosol I was sceptical. Having been committed to one roll on brand for a long time, the trust factor came in - don't want to use a deodorant that fails.

The product itself was nice to apply, however the fragrance is quite strong so does compete a bit with perfumes.

Overall I was happy with the performance of the product - not sure i noticed whether it had superior performance at times of stress - but didn't have any failures, so I deem that to be a success.

Loved this product from the get go. The fragrance is fantastic and it kept me protected all day. I would be more likely to use a roll on than an aero but that's just me

I put this deodorant through its paces by using it before doing a full days work in the garden. I worked up a big sweat but at the end of the day I could still smell the deodorant, so a big success for me. The smell is great too.

This is fabulous deodorant. normally i would be sweating profusely by lunchtime but with this i do not have to worry about repaying myself again during the day. it is definitely all day protection

Have been using the roll on version since I trialed it in 2012. The Aerosol brand is just as good, surprisingly, as I always thought that it would be less effective than a roll on. 36 hours is the longest I went from application, and was impressed. No stinging after shaving, which is another thing I always thought from aerosol brands! However, did notice that it did make white marks on my sleeveless red top, so maybe didn't leave it long enough from appliation to getting dressed! If you use aerosol deodorants, you certainly want to give it a go. I love Nivea and use a wide range of their products. Would use this for travelling as lighter than the roll on glass bottle. Been stressful week in my house with in'laws staying, husband very tense. This product sure stood the test of the stress!!!!

Pleasant smell, seemed to keep odour away although did leave a white mark on clothes if not left long enough to dry.
