NIVEA Stress Protect Deodorant Aerosol Review

This is an impressive product that does exactly as advertised. I tend to have fairly sensitive skin so often react to anti-perspirants with itchiness or stinging: and sadly, it is generally the more effective anti-perspirants that the worst. However, this didn't cause me any grief at all. The first big plus in its favour is the smell, which is a simple clean and fresh fragrance without any flowery perfume smells that so many spray-on anti-perspirants go for. This means it won't be competing with any perfumes or fragranced body lotions you choose to wear. It also mean that if you just want a quick squirt of this without any fuss, you'll smell fresh as a daisy. The second good point is the lack of irritation. I have a list of deodorants and anti-perspirants I can't use that is as long as your arm ... they make me itchy, and often leave my armpits feeling burned and sort. Not so with this: absolutely zero irritation, so top marks to Nivea. And finally (and probably most importantly), it's incredibly effective. We've been having a run of absolutely cracking days weatherwise over the past week, which was perfect to give this product a thorough workout: it passed with flying colours! During four scorching days, a once-a-day application after my morning shower was enough to keep me smelling sweet for the whole day.

Not the best aerosol spray out there, but does the job. I don't think it stayed on me very long. I like the packaging though its small and practical and easy to carry with you in your handbag.

Love this product, protects all day and smells lovely and fresh. And best of all it doesn't stain your clothes.

Unfortunately this product was a bit too fuemy for me. It did feel nice on my skin however I don't feel it did what it said it was going to. In this instance I would stick to my regular product.

In the name of full disclosure, I shold reveal that I am a deodorant snob. From my first days at high school, when the classroom was full of the heady smells of various body sprays, deodorants and other such products (especially before math with the super spunky Mr Greaves) I always bought the most expensive product I could afford with my paper run money. Since those days, my income may have changed, bt my standards haven't. As i lover of brightly coloured tops, my deodorant snobiness comes from an aversion to white marks or even worse, dark patches.... I was therefore mildly dubious when opening up my mail with the Nivea Stress Protect Deodorant in it. For starters, it was aerosol. I am a roll on girl - see my aversion to white marks. However, not only di the Nivea Stress Protect not leave any white marks, it also didn't leave me gasping for air, in the style of many a previous attempt at using an aerosol. So now we come to the damp patch question. This is where this product really lives up to it's name. No matter the stress I am under, Nivea Stress Protect has really protected me from outwardly showing signs of that stress. And make no mistake, I work in a stressful environment and have a few stresses at home most days too. Yet despite this, Nivea Stress Protect has kept me looking cool calm and collected at all times. In fact, the only way Nivea Stress Protect could do any more in reducing my signs of stress would be if it could serve a gin and tonic! I am a true convert to this product, it is discreet, hardworking, soft and gentle on my skin and leaves me feeling confident, cool, calm and collected.

I am the sort of person who is naturally a sweaty person. This means it can be hard to find a good deodorant, and when I find one I tend to stick to it. Nivea Stress Protect claims to do everything that I need in a good deodorant, and it did, most of the time.

I tried it over 3 days. The smell was nice, but not overpowering to conflict with my perfume. It definitely stopped any 'odour' and it seemed to be working for the first couple of days. It didn't make white marks on my shirts which was a big bonus.

However, day three I put it to the ultimate test. I went to a cafe which was hot because it was full of people, and I wore a denim shirt. My usual deodorant (a cool charm roll on) would have had no problems with this, however with the Nivea, after about half an hour I checked myself in a mirror and I had huge sweat pits. I haven't had that in years, and had put the deodorant on just before I went out.

My final conclusion? Good, but not something I'll stick with as it didn't seem to perform when I really needed it to.
