Hi, today am going to review an amazing product from Nivea. I was never a fond of roll-on deodorants, until I met this white doll. You can’t share a roll-on deodorant, as you can do with spray type deodorants. Plus a roll on (mostly containing alcohol) is directly applied to your bare skin, which I never liked. Almost every deodorant contains some part of alcohol, I don’t want any harmful chemical to touch my skin and damage it. I spray deodorant on my clothes.
How I stumbled upon this deodorant? I was browsing through the deodorant section at a super market last year, when I saw these cute little white bottles from Nivea. I smelled one of them, and I liked what I inhaled. I grabbed Nivea Whitening Smooth Skin Deodorant.

Packaging:
It comes in a a semi transparent glass bottle with a crew on white cap.
Texture Colour & Smell:
Its smooth transparent gel with very mild and sweet fruity smell.
My Views:
I bought it because, I have something for mild & sweet smells. I can’t bear the overwhelming strong smelling deodorants. It is so mild that you will notice the smell only if you raise your arm to smell it.
The consistency is non sticky & dries off quickly within few seconds.
Coming to the Nivea’s claim of whitening part, it brightens the under arm area by at max 2 shades depending upon the discoloration. I notice my under arm area is visible bright after I use it continuously for 2-3 days. If I stop using it, the brightness goes away.
The smoothing part- I don’t have bumpy underarms. My underarm skin is already quite smooth. But it definitely add like a little invisible layer of smoothness.
Now the bad part- the smell goes away just in 2-4 hours. Since I use another spray-on deodorant, if I go out, I don’t mind using it while am still at home.
Likes:
- The smell will please sensitive noses.
- Non sticky formula, which dries off/absorbs within few seconds.
- Makes the under arm area brighter.
- Also smoothens the under arm area to some extent.
- Beautiful and sleek packaging.
- Even though it’s glass bottle but it’s small enough for travels too.
Dislikes:
- Since the smell is mild it does not last for long. This can’t work as a regular deodorant.
- If you sweat profoundly, this is not your deodorant.
- Pricey. Also it vanishes from the bottle away way to soon than the spray on deodorant.
- You can not share this type of deodorant with any body else for hygiene reasons.
Rating: 4/5
Final Words:
If you want little brighter & smoother underarms, you should definitely try this.
Quick Tip:
Prolong use of shaving creams & razor is harsh on the fragile skin of your underarms. This may lead to dark and bumpy under arm area. Try to get your under arms waxed. since it takes away the dead skin, leaving your under arm area cleaner & smoother.
Till next time, Stay High, Stay Fab.
