Review on Nivea Fresh Active Deodorant Stick by Brian Wright

Revainrating 3 out of 5

No aluminum but I have to reapply in half a day

I like deodorants without aluminum but it's hard to find a good one. This product ships from Germany and does not appear to be available in the US. I'm a woman, but I use L'Occitane Verdon, which is now out of production, also a men's product. Verdon lasts all day, Nivea doesn't. The fragrance is not aggressively masculine on Nivea and suits both men and women. The day I noticed my deodorant was gone, I wasn't doing anything strenuous. I think if the product lasts longer than the protection I wouldn't mind touching it up during the day but if it wears off quickly I won't repurchase. Lavanilla deodorant is available in the US and it lasts all day, so now that Verdon is gone I'll probably go back to Lavanilla. It appears that aluminum-free deodorants vary wildly in effectiveness depending on personal body chemistry and/or product quality. Nivea is a good brand, but this deodorant doesn't last all day on me.

Pros
  • Good to use
Cons
  • old
