NIVEA Stress Protect Deodorant Aerosol Review

I've always had sensitive skin, and probably always will, because of this I normally avoid aerosol anything. However I thought I might as well give this one a go, it did say gentle after all!

First of all I quite like the scent, it's more of a subtle unisex scent, not too strong, but not absent, so wearable for just about anyone.

I also did find it to protect from sweat or any kind of unpleasant odour, which is a positive (especially when you work in an ever-warm office).

Despite these aspects I don't think I'll use this in place of a roll on, mainly because it does irritate my skin, especially after shaving, so any girl with rather sensitive skin should probably avoid this one.

This definitely isn't my favorite product of theirs. I like the smell, it's pleasant! I'm not 100% sold on the '48 hours' as by the end of my 9 hour day, it definitely was wearing away. Not a horrible product but I don't think I would rush out to buy this product.

It was ok, but nothing special compared to ordinary deodorant by Nivea. I have tried other brands with the "stress protect" factor that seemed to work better. A good basic deodorant though.

not a bad product smells nice didnt leave any white marks which was good.but honestly for myself i would perfer a rollon so i might just go out and buy one see how it works.

I found the Stress Protect Deodorant no different to other deodorants I have used in the past. I felt it doesn't give a full 48 hours of protection. It doesn't leave white marks on dark coloured tops. The scent was pleasant and not overpowering.

I think this deodorant works just as well as any other aerosol. Although it does smell quite nice, not too over powering. I found that it didn't last 48hours like it said. Would be interested to see what the roll on is like!

I used the deodorant for about a week and while it sometimes worked, a lot of the time it didn't. I thought the fragrance was lovely and when the aerosol did work it worked really well. I think that the roll-on might be a bit better and give a better coverage but for me the aerosol wasn't great.

At first I was happy with the product - it sprayed on well, dried really fast (I hate having wet armpits!!), and seemed easy enough. But, about 10 minutes later I was asking my husband in the car if he smelt hairspray......it was strong and all I could smell......he thought it smelt like toilet spray. Neither options were ideal. :) It seemed to last well, and do what it said on the bottle, but I can't get past smelling like hairspray all day. Not for me.

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.

I used this deodorant every day for a week, so that I could give it a good try. I have a fairly stressful job, and also work out heavily a few times a week. It kept me sweat free and smelling nice at work, but was absolutely no match for a session at the gym.

To be frank, I felt that the 'stress protect' element was a bit of a gimmick, as it functioned exactly the same as other deodorants that I have used, including other Nivea products. It does a fine job for every day life, but I wouldn't recommend it if you are very active.
