NIVEA Stress Protect Deodorant Aerosol Review

Unfortunately the Nivea spray made my skin dry and my underarms were quite sore and cracked, don't mind their other range of products just not this one.

Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to test this deodorant in a particularly stressful situation, so I can't say if it is any better than a regular deodorant when it comes to stress sweating. Overall though I have been unimpressed with the deodorant for everyday use. I wore it for a particularly intense gym session and I felt that I was a little stinky at the end which I hated! With any other deodorant i've never noticed it not working for odour so that was definitely a downfall. I also don't like spray deodorants so that was a disadvantage, though that is really just a personal choice. The last big thing that I disliked was the smell, it was quite strong, when I sprayed it I felt that it hung around in the air for ages and I was breathing it in. It also was strong enough to compete with my perfume which I really didn't like. Overall not a product I would try again.

Ironically this last week has been one of the most stressful times this year, with my final exams for my degree this week and attending a job interview for the first time in 7 years. I was excited to receive my sample and knew that is would be put to the test. I used it for three days, the first day was when I was attending my job interview. I haven't used an aerosol for a while and did hold it too close to begin with and got a cold blast. I was initially overwhelmed by the strong scent. I don't usually get wet armpits but throughout the day I did feel a bit moist against my top. The scent settled as the day went on, but you could still smell it after 12 hours, except it had a mixture of sweat smell, which I have never experienced with my normal roll on. The next two days I was studying intensly for exams and had to apply the aerosol twice on the second day which again I have never needed to do with my roll on. I wasn't happy with the protection and found the scent very strong. I used my normal roll on after the three days, again doing the same intense study and didn't have the need to reapply and I wasn't left with a sweaty smell at the end of the day. I wouldn't use this again as I didn't like the scent and it made me feel sweaty, with a sweaty smell mixed in with the aerosol scent in the evening. I also used it after shaving and it made my armpits itchy.

Thanks for the opportunity to review this product. I didn't feel like it said what it was supposed to, was certainly stressed even when i wore this. I don't think i would recommend it.

I did not like the smell of the deodorant and I didn't think it was much different to any of their other spray deodorants I have tried.

I was very excited to be able to review this product, especially for this time in my life, with getting a business up and running, managing a very much terrible two's, two year old, and organizing life to move to another city.. however this product, for me, did not stand up to what it claimed it would. A good deodorant is so important for me, because when overwhelmed or stressed, I do get clammy and am prone to sweating particularly under my arms. I tried using at night time after a shower and before bed for the next day (my Mitchum works best this way), and have tried applying in morning after a shower to begin my day. Two things I noticed about this product is; 1. When I did perspire, it dampened the applied product and caused it two roll off in small clumps, and 2. It stayed damp, it did not absorb or prevent the perspiration, however it kept me feeling damp for longer. One thing I found most unpleasant, which I have found with other spray on deodorants, is the harsh chemical smell that laces my throat. I need good ventilation before applying, however the lingering smell the product has when applied, does help to prevent/disguise that typical body odor smell that can occur when perspiration happens and turns stale during the day.

For some reason I've never had a good experience with Nivea deoderant. I tried this over a few days and was not impressed, I found that it was much less effective at odor prevention than the other brand I've been using.

I'm afraid I didn't really like this product & I didn't feel confident it worked as a deodorant either.... The weather is obviously rather warm at the moment so I would expect it to work in these conditions as well as stressful conditions but it didn't. It really caught the back of my throat each time I sprayed it & made me cough. I will not be purchasing this product.
