I'll preface this with my own truth: I'm an excessive sweater. Due to temperature instability in my body, whenever I get mildly warm, I'll sweat. A lot.
I also have a lot of anxiety and sweat a lot as a response.
However, the places where emotional stress sweats is often different to excessive sweating.
When I got the product I thought there was no way in heck this spray was going to make it into my daily aresenol against sweat.
I'm hugely impressed! While I wouldn't say this product is as effective as the Rexona Clinical Protection, the spray is pleasantly suprisingly strong and effective.
What I Liked: *antibacterial -- I know this means that I've got a better likelihood of stopping the bacteria breeding
* Zinc -- natural and effective.
What I Didn't Like: Aerosol -- while I know that things have changed and aerosols are no longer as damaging to the environment, I don't like them. I also feel you waste product. This has a huge spray area so I'm worried most is lost to the environment.
* The fragrance -- More and more young women are being diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and overuse of fragrance is a key issue. While I know they want to disguise the natural smell of the product and make you 'feel pretty', I didn't like the fragrance. I felt it could be toned down, or even offered with a more natural scent, like tea tree or ginger.
I found the aerosol dind't provide the sort of protection I would need under my arms, but it was fantastic between the breasts (large DD versions) and around the neck.
I think those are areas that are more typical for stress sweating and I found the product excellent.
I offered the spray to my daughter (8.5) and she enjoyed it as well. Deodorants are more for 'show' at her age but she felt the product was a good one. It wasn't sticky, it wasn't smelly and it left her feeling dry under her arms.
I wouldn't say it would replace product for excessive sweaters but I would ABSOLUTELY recommend it in addition to your daily care routine or for those who are going into an interview, giving a speech or even a bit date -- it will definently keep your stressful sweating areas dry.
Another great Nivea Product.
I have trouble with perspiring, I never smell but I sweat. I was impressed with this deodorant 1. It kept sweat away 2. The smell was pleasant - however a nutial smell would be good doesn't over power your purfume then. 3. I would use it again.
