NIVEA Stress Protect Deodorant Aerosol Review

This is a great fresh deoderant, it doesnt smell like chemicals or have a fake fragrance scent. It felt very refreashing and definately protected me through stressed times with a baby :)

I used this for the first time, right before i had to go to work. I would have to say that it worked great, when it gets really busy I would sweat and it did its job well. However, I am not a fan of the smell. I wish it was a little more girlier or attractive. It just smelled like the smell of deodorant and wasn't very appealing. The small sample size is perfect to throw in my handbag and very easy to use.

Let's start with what it is meant to do - which is to be a 48h deodorant. As far as pure performance goes the product is good, it gave me good protection, including when I was doing physical exercise.

The points that I didn't enjoy about the product, was that it was very white on application. Personally, I wouldn't purchase this product because I prefer Nivea's invisible deodorants, as I like to wear singlet tops.

The fact that it offers 48 hours protection, to me it seems irrelevant, as I reapply deoderant every morning after my shower.

The smell was pleasant and overall its a solid deodorant.

I used this product for four days over the busiest time of the year at work, and it was marvellous did exactly what it said it would do, until my skin started reacting to one of the ingredients and my arm pits started to itch, hence the ratings above. I have passed the this product on to a friend who thinks it is great as well.

I found this product was great as an every day deodorant, It kept me feeling as fresh and confident as my usual deodorant, and it was very gentle on my sensitive skin which is always a major plus. The only thing that put me off was the scent, I found it way to strong! I prefer something softer smelling, as not to overpower any perfume I want to wear. I actually went out and bought the roll-on version of Nivea Stress Protect today to try out, so we will see how that goes!

At first spray I found this deodorant had a slightly harsh fake fragrance smell (kind of like air fresheners) but this quickly faded to a much more mellow smell, it may also be that I am not used to aerosol sprays as I usually use a roll on

I didn't get the opportunity to test if it did indeed last for 48 hours (nor would I want to!) but I can say it lasted pretty well over a 24 hour period. It also worked really well in the particularly humid weather we had in February which I especially appreciated since I don't have aircon at work!

Unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to try this out in a high stress situation. I would have loved to try it in my old job when I often had to give presentations which I found really stressful and always got nervous for, it's definitely a different sweat from stress rather than heat or physical exertion.

I'm not going to switch from my normal roll on which I find really good for general use and it feels less harsh and smells more natural going on, however I might consider using this during those particularly humid few weeks of Summer. I think it could be a good product to have on hand for when you know you are going to have a mentally stressful day

Starting with a disclaimer: I don't tend to purchase aerosols. However, I do sweat (yes, I know, ladies "glow" and don't sweat) and am always on the lookout for products that keep me dry all day long. It would have been nice to test this under harsher conditions, like a muggy 35 degree summer day, but everyday is a bit stressful with an active toddler so I've got that going on. When I first put it on, the first thing I noticed was the smell. Wow, is it strong. If you're like me and not used to aerosols, be warned and turn your head no matter how tempted you are to take a wiff. Although drying quickly, the smell lingered for quite some time. Someone who did like the smell was my cat who, oddly enough, proceeded to lick my arm pits. Even with the odd side effect of cat attraction, the spray seemed to do what it said it would do; I stayed dry all day and it kept the odor at bay. Nivea has definitely improved my perception of aerosols.
