Nivea Pearl & Beauty Deodorant
by anwar7
I usually buy Mitchum deodorant as I find it works well. However it is also very expensive compared with other brands. With this in mind I decided to try another brand and opted for Nivea pearl and beauty. I love the smell of Nivea products and was persuaded by the manufactures promise of a gentle and effective deodorant. I paid £2.10 ... for a 50 ml bottle. There are several variants of this deodorant on offer including the roll on one I purchased , a spray and a stick .
I really like the glass bottle of this deodorant as it is simple but has a lovely pearly sheen. The subtle hint of pink colour makes it look very feminine too. The screw white plastic top is easy to remove and the roller ball works well,delivering just the right amount of deodorant. I have experienced other brands where far too much deodorant comes from the roller ball! I found that it was pretty average for drying time despite being labelled as quick drying. It certainly didn't dry instantly and I had to wait for a few minutes before getting dressed. I really loved the distinctive Nivea scent although it didn't last long.
As promised this deodorant didn't leave any white stain marks on my clothing. However I was very disappointed by its performance!Despite the claims that it will give you protection for 24 hours,I found I needed to reapply after just a few hours of normal activity.I am not someone who sweats a lot so this was really not very good! On the plus side it didn't irritate my sensitive skin.It certainly wouldn't give me any protection in the warmer summer months .
Overall I was very disappointed by this deodorant and will not be buying it again.

Nivea Deodorant Energy Fresh Roll-On
by ladyradley
I bought this recently as I saw it on offer and I like to vary the brands that I use. I always try different ones when they are on offer to see how they compare. I was really pleased with this one and think I will be using it again.
I have used Nivea products before, especially their shaving foams and find they are always very ... gentle and reliable.
This deodorant comes in a small glass bottle with a screw cap lid. It says that it will protect you for 24 hours which is what a lot of deodorants say, but not always achieve.
It is a roll on, when you lift the lid off the ball to roll on is there, it just needs to be rolled around a few times for the liquid to get through.
I don't add much as it is very damp and if I put too much on it takes a while to dry. It has left white marks on a few occasions which was disappointing but now I just make sure i wait longer before I put clothes on and this seems to make it okay.
The smell is nice and fresh and it does linger a bit but isn't over powering so it doesn't matter too much.
It does seem to last 24 hours, I don't need to reapply this so I am pleased with it.
In general I think it compares nicely to what I normally use but isn't anything outstanding. I will be happy to buy this again when it is on offer

Nivea For Men Silver Protect Deoderant
by garymarsh6
Nivea for Men Silver Protect Deodorant.
I have been using this for a couple of years now and find it very effective in preventing any odours produced by sweating. One of the ingredients of Nivea silver protect is obviously the silver ions they use in the deodorant which blocks the odour caused by bacteria on the skin produced ... during sweating. It is also an antiperspirant.
I do like Nivea products because I feel that they are very good for the skin not only that I particularly like the smell of this deodorant and I find that it does not cause whitening or staining of clothing or clogging or stickiness in the armpits. One of the features of this deodorant is that it is supposed to last for 48 hours. I find that statement a bit bemusing because how can it last that long if it is washed off in the shower every day and re applied? The longest time I have travelled is for about 32 hours but usually once you have reached your destination the first thing you do is step into the shower to freshen up so I cannot really vouch for it lasting 48 hours but I am happy to say I don't think I smell after this long travelling.
I usually wait until it is on offer as Asda often sell this along with other Nivea Silver Protect products for £1 and when it is on offer I usually stock up. The price therefore can range anywhere from £1 when on special offer up to £2.85. At the moment I have a cupboard full of the stuff which should keep me going till about 2015 but I cannot help myself every time I visit the supermarket if it is on offer I usually buy at least a couple. It is currently on offer in Asda for £2 so I shall wait until it goes down again to £1 and buy a few cans. It is sold in all supermarkets and branches of Boots and Superdrug and other chemists.
The deodorant is in a silver metal tin which is silver coloured it looks quite a manly tin being silver with Nivea logo at the top of the skin. This is a pressurised tin so it should not be punctured and the contents are highly flammable so do not use whilst near a naked flame otherwise you might find yourself going up in flames. The spray button at the top of the tin has changed and it is now more functional and more effective. I like the look of the tin and it matches other products in the silver protect range.
How to use Nivea Silver protect.
After washing and drying hold the can about 15 cms from the body and apply in even sprays. Do not hold the spray down for too long otherwise some white powdery stuff will start to accumulate and then start to clog together. It should be applied evenly and allowed to dry before you put on your clothes.
I find the spray quite convenient and easy to use and there is even a handy travel size can available which is really useful when you are just going away for a weekend or overnight.
Is it effective?
I have found it to be very effective both for normal use at home and for when I am abroad in hot countries. It is just as effective in London as it is in the desert or jungle, in high heat and in high humidity. I feel quite reassured that I do not smell of stale body odour when using Nivea products.
I fully endorse this product as other deodorants I have used in the past have either left me feeling sticky or do not last as long as Nivea Silver protect.
