I started trialling Nivea stress protection Aerosol yesterday.
I don't usually use an aerosol deodorant so I found it quite cold on the skin.
The first thing I noticed was its scent it was quite strong and over powering. As the day went on the scent strarted to really annoy me almost making me feel a bit sick. I persevered to give it a good go.
The antiperspirant properties I found to be good, patticuarly because it was a hot day. I also went for a run that day and found it control the perspiration well but the scent was still overpowering so I was glad to have a shower after my run and wash it off.
Today I tried it again and once again the scent was too noticeable for my liking. After noticing the scent several times over the next hour or so I've decided to wash it off as it was making me feel a bit sick.
I wouldn't use this again solely because of its overpowering scent, otherwise all other aspects if this deodorant were satisfactory.
I have been wearing this for a few days and all I can say is wow! Initially I was excited for this idea because I know that I am prone a spot of stress sweatage! Especially if I have had a bit of a cry, not long afterwards i'm a bit on the pongy side. So its a really really good idea that i'm sure will benefit a lot of people.
I put it on in the morning after my shower and was rearing to go. Initial thoughts were 'hmmm it smells quite strong - like a sports deodorant' and 'oh dear its put white marks on my shirt'.
The smell was quite strong but it wasn't unpleasant. It isn't my favourite smelling deodorant, but it also isn't the worst. Its pleasant.
The white marks are a bit of a pain. I don't normally use spray on deodorants, just out of personal preference. I'm not sure if this is a common side effect of spray deodorants. But i'm certain that it could have been avoided if I had waited for it to dry instead of quickly shoving my clothes on. White marks is a problem with my favourite deodorant as well, so thats not a major put off for me. Just need to slllooowww dooowwwwnnn!!
During the day I didn't smell at all. Fairly standard. No need to reapply and I was quite comfortable for the whole day. That night I went and gave blood (a stressful experience for anyone) and went for a run to put it to the final test. After that when I sniffed my armpits (don't mean to be crude!!!) all I could smell was the deodorant. Lovely! This isn't normal for me after I go for a run so I was quite pleasantly pleased.
Been trying it for a few days now and I have had the same results every day. I have to say I was very skeptical of this to begin with. I normally use Rexona Clinical Protection and am pretty dedicated to it but now I think I will be mixing it up a bit. It most definitely does what it says it will and I think I will definitely give the roll on a try too!
Nice work Nivea!!
