NIVEA Stress Protect Deodorant Aerosol Review

So I'm one of the many who got my product late. I've spent the last three days with half my body bathed in this goop, to no real avail (Half & half to compare/contrast). It has decent scientific basis, ie, you sweat in certain areas more when under stress. However.... That sweat is most noticeable on your palms and soles. This deodorant doesn't adhere very well to those places. That kind of undermines your most opportune stress sweat testing patches. Not to mention making your shoes slippery!

Spraying it under my arms makes me feel a little anxious because of the amount of waste product which gets into my airways. This led me to discover that it tastes like baby powder, soap, and pillow, all at once. Not fun.

So, with slippery shoes, a bad emotional start, and a smell I didn't appreciate, I tried to carry on. On my other side was my fave Lush deo, which does the job and makes my underarms feel nice after a shave. The Nivea deo, it seems, increases irritation post-shave. Woohoo.

By the end of each day, I've been feeling hot and flustered. The deo stops some sweating, but that's your natural cooling system, so I was overheating instead! Good in winter, perhaps?? The sweat that did get through the Stress protection was not nice. It hadn't been deodorised at all! Yuck!

So, after three days of this madness, I am putting down the little can, ignoring the company and their separate problems, and refusing to allow anyone I feel kindly toward to buy this particular Shenannigan.

If you have had luck with this one, bless your little wallet, because this stuff is pretty reasonably priced. That's all I have nice to say about this, so I'll stop saying things, now.

Got my little gift in the mail the other day and i absolutely love it!! It has a great smell and makes me feel nice and fresh all day, i don't know why i didn't buy it in the first place!!!

Stings a bit putting on ... after shaving , but really cool. Works like it should. I don't seem to have a problem with it. But there's no fragrant scent which is pretty stink. But it would make sense to not have one if it's like an athletic type of aerosol. It's a good quality product :)

I do a lot of physical work and i found nivea stress protect did what it said, I found the fragrance at first a bit medicated but after awhile it was nice and fresh

Usually don't like aerosols as I don't feel as though they'll last. However, this one lasted the whole day even after an intense session in the gym.

I find that its as good as any other deodorant and im not particularly fond of the smell either. Doesnt leave any marks on clothes. Just another deodorant.

I am a roll on girl but this deodorant may have converted me. The smell is fresh & lasts all day. Also doesn't leave stains on my tops.

I received this product for review today and so I haven't had as long a time as I would like to test the long term performance of this product as I would like. Therefore, this review will largely focus on the aesthetics of the product. I feel the need to disclose straight off the bat that I have never been much of a deodorant aerosol fan. I find that application is too hard to control and that they are not as effective over prolonged periods of time. I also don't like the feeling that product is getting wasted, and that the room that you spray it in smells like deodorant for a few minutes afterwards. This product, however, has helped to reduce my prejudices against spray deodorants. The spray is very pleasant- a sort of fine, gentle mist that is easy to control, doesn't feel cold and doesn't sting. So far so good. The scent of the product is pleasant- it is fairly strong and a little sharp for my liking- it smells like a deodorant that means business. I wore this deodorant and then went for a half hour walk in fairly warm and sunny conditions, and the product perfumed just OK. I was happy with the way in which it kept me feeling dry. A pleasant product that gives more protection than regular daily deodorants, and I'll be interested to see if it lives up to its 40h claims.

The deodorant did as it said. I did find that it prevented sweating especially when I started getting very busy trying to juggle work and my social life, getting from place to place. It did not completely stop the sweating due to the weather and the hustling and bustling of trying to get to places. But it did help a lot. It also smells quite refreshing which was an added bonus.

I tried this out on a very hot day out for a run, I already use the roll on version of this deodorant after I saw it on the shelf in the supermarket and got curious to try something new! It did not disappoint, Im no heavy sweater but this did the trick well and I there was no need to reapply for stopping at the supermarket on the way home from the run. Id say this would be perfect for anybody wanting a deodorant they can rely on to feel that extra bit protected. The smell was nice and a friend commented on this too, it does linger a bit which if you like that (i don't mind) then thats a bonus! Also didn't burn my skin when I sprayed it on which I liked as a lot of aerosol deo's that I've tried actually do have a wee bit of a burning sensation. Overall a nice product that I will continue to use the rest of the can and may repurchase if it comes on special as I normally don't buy aerosols.
