Rexona Clinical Protection Review

I found this product effective and was pleasantly scented, quite botanical and feminine which was pleasing. The innovative "turn wheel" type dispensing was great, but I found it quite messy in warmer weather where the product liquified a little bit from it's usual creamy texture. (I live in Gisborne, it's humid and hot here a lot) This got to me a little bit as on a couple of occasions I did manage to get the wet liquid product on my clothes directly which DID mark, despite it saying it wouldn't. In saying that it did not rub off onto clothes when applied under arm so I don't know what that was about :S

However, it definitely did what it said it would and kept me dry and smelling pleasant which is a big plus for me in my line of work, and in the heats Gisborne reaches during the warmer months

I was excitited to see this in BR beauty box, yusss a good deoderant! Always need to have one of those. But once I got it out of the box I was so confused by the packaging, very different to any other type of packaging i've seen, it's completely original. The deoderant comes in a chunky plastic container with a wheel at the base to dispense the product, which comes out of small holes in the top. Initially you need to turn the wheel several times to begin the product dispensing, and thereafter click it round a few notches to dispense one application at a time.

The deoderant itself is a creamy substance that looks like moisturiser. To apply you swipe it under your arms directly from the applicator tube as you would with roll-on, it soaks into the skin and dries quite quickly. It has a soft and sweet very feminine botanical fragrance which I love. It does the job it says it will, 100% antiperspirant and doesn't leave any icky residue or rub off onto clothing.

Usually deoderant is something that I buy on special and spend around $5 on, and i'm not sure i'd be willing to pay 3 times the amount for this. The packaging is really cool and innovative which i'm sure contributes to the price, and I haven't yet decided whether it's worth it or not. I do really like it in fact I love it, but when it comes down to it there are other deoderants available that do the job similarily for half or even a third of the price of this, although i do feel that this is a superior deoderant. So I may or many not purchase this again, it would depend what mood and mind I was in about splurging at the time.

I was so confused by the packaging at first and tried to open up the deodorant after taking off the lid. Turns out you have to keep turning the base to get the deodorant stick to come up (which says in the manual that I ignored to read). I'm usually sweating a lot halfway through my shift and work but I've been using this for several days and I haven't sweated a bit! It's great! Also it's dry and doesn't leave that sticky residue lots of deodorants leave behind. Love it!

yay a product thats does what it should i have tried many to stop the afternoon smell when u have to reapply a product, rexona does wht it supose to i feels softer under my arms and theres no sweaty t shirts or tops, i love the smell aswell i recommend using this in the morning and before bed. another beauty box product. thank you

This is very easy to use with the rotating mechanism on the bottom. A big plus for me was that I didn't need to wait for it to dry before I could get dressed. The compact size was also great and I'll be taking it when I go travelling soon. I had the summer strength one and the smell is subtle and pleasant.

There are two drawbacks for me. One is the price and the other is the amount of plastic in the product. Can this be recycled easily?

I was very sceptical of this at first. But I have been smelling sweet all week (got in my beauty box). It's a weird applicator and it does take forever to get it going. The product itself doesn't have the nicest smell, but it's not over powering, and u can't smell it though out the day. Instructions say to put it on at night... Really? At night? well I haven't been that brave yet, but I do put it on straight out of the shower, two clicks for each pit and let it dry before dressing and so far so good. No smell issues or white marks on my cloths. Am going to see how long this bottle last before deciding if it is worth $15. But I have to say it is one of best I have used at keeping me smelling fresh.

I am in love with this deodorant. For years I have suffered with wet underarms and stained clothing and of course that embarrassing odour on occasion. I have tried I think everything but to no avail. This is amazing for me. I know the price is quite prohibitive for some but I am willing to forgo something else to buy this. It is rich and creamy which leaves my underarms very moisturized. I dont get a whiff of body odour or wet patches which gives me confidence. The fragrance is long lasting and quite nice, maybe a bit overpowering for some, but I dont mind it. The only thing I would say is to be careful when you are getting dressed because it can leave white marks (which other deodorants have done as well).

I'm with a couple of the other ladies on here. The packaging is far too fancy. When I first opened mine I thought it was broken because it took far too long for the product to get to the top. The clicking makes it feel like you need to break something for it to come out which got me annoyed quickly. When the product finally comes out of the holes it is a thick creamy consistency and you only need about 2 clicks to get enough. The little holes in the dispenser can catch on your skin and can be abrasive so left me a little red for a bit.

Apart from the time consuming fiddly packaging this stuff does work. It smells very sweet and overpowers your actual perfume which I didn't like BUT it does stop you sweating which is the desired result. Will I buy this again after this one runs out? No. Their stress protect product is my go to spray on so I will keep buying that. I don't like the smell clashing with my perfume so prefer something non descript.

$15+ for a Deodorant? Ya what now? Is there gold in them there tubes?

No, no gold that I saw. But maybe the money went into the Rexona Clinical Protection's fancy dispensing design? Instead of the usual aerosol or roller ball, you have to turn a wheel to click the product up and out. It took aaaages to get the first bit of product out, I wondered if mine was broken, but then the thick cream coloured cream poked out and I was able to swipe it over my pits. The instructions said you only needed two clicks per pit, so that's what I went with. The weird texture of the deodorant had me wondering if I was getting enough on me, but the results suggested I was, as I haven't had any perspiration issues when I've used this.

So if it worked, why don't I like it? It's the smell! I described it to my husband as smelling like 'yucky cheap toilet cleaner'. He sniffed it and came up with 'it smells like Council toilets'. It's just sweet, and chemically, and not at all enjoyable. Thankfully you don't really get whiffs of it unless you're smelling your pits to check for freshness. But it's enough to put me off. That, and the price...

Seriously, the price of this deodorant is - well, crazy. Yes it works, I didn't get all whiffy, but then again I don't get whiffy with my current deodorant.

So would I recommend? Yes. If you can afford it and are perhaps prone to excess sweat, or spend a lot of time running around. But to be honest, I'm not hugely sweaty, so I'll stick to my sub $4 deodorant.

I really enjoyed this product however I do have a few complaints. It has a lovely fresh fragrance but saying that it's way too overpowering. It outshines my pursue and it's all I can smell all day and I'd prefer not to smell that much of deodorant. Secondly it's not so easy to apply I find it pulls my skin along while trying to apply and leaves my delicate underarms a wee bit sore. Yes it does work all day to the next and I never feel sweaty which is amazing but I feel it works just as well as my regular. Also don't apply straight after a shower....it balls up and looks terrible ahaha. I will use it till its gone but can't say honestly that I would buy it again.
