Discover The Different Types Of Deodorant

Deodorants can come in roll-on, stick or spray form. However, each of these categories can be further specialised in how they are formulated.

For example, we have specially formulated deodorants for sensitive skin, a range of dry deodorants as well as an anti-stain range to avoid marks on your clothes. This is why it is important to know what is most important to you in a deodorant. Although each deodorant will work across categories, they may not be as effective as their designed purpose.

Roll-on deodorants, also called liquid deodorants, apply to your skin wet before drying on the underarms themselves. Their soft formula makes them ideal for people with dry or sensitive skin. Try the NIVEA Pearl & Beauty Anti-Perspirant Deodorant Roll On, made to care for skin and offer 48hr protection.
 
Deodorant sticks are another go-to solution for women. The difference between a deodorant stick and a roll-on deodorant is the stick isn’t wet when you apply it due to the fact it is solid. The NIVEA Sensitive and Pure Anti-perspirant Deodorant Stick is designed with sensitive skin in mind. The caring formula is enriched with chamomile extract and is dermatologist approved. 
 
Deodorant sprays are the perfect solution for the morning or for on the go. They do not start wet and dry on the skin, like roll-ons, so are quicker to apply. They are small enough to fit comfortably in your handbag for a quick burst of freshness wherever you are. Perfect for coming to the rescue and sharing with a friend who is in need of a refresh!
 
Within the 3 forms of deodorant, NIVEA have a Dry and Anti-Stain range. The Dry Deodorant Range offers 48hour protection and long lasting dryness.  The Anti-Stain Range is an innovative formula which not only protects you from sweat and odours, but protects your clothes from marks.

Men sweat more than women, and so will need a stronger deodorant. This is something to bear in mind when it comes to choosing between deodorant or antiperspirant. The NIVEA Men range of deodorants is specifically formulated with this in mind, and our men's antiperspirant deodorants will specifically cater to help men fight against sweat.

There are a number of differences between antiperspirant and deodorant. Carry on reading to find out which one is right for you when it comes to deodorant vs antiperspirant.

Deodorant

• Protects you from unwanted odours. NIVEA deodorants help to reduce the number of bacteria that cause the smell associated with sweat.
• Provides you with a fresh scent to help you feel fresh and confident, no matter how long you have been on the go. 

Antiperspirant

• The difference between antiperspirant and deodorant is antiperspirants are formulated to stop you sweating instead of hiding the odour.
• Prevents moisture or wet patches through the power of being made with aluminium.
• Antiperspirants are also effective as a deodorant. This is because bacteria growth is inhibited due to a lower pH and reduced wetness. 

If you have an inactive day ahead where you are unlikely to sweat, try the NIVEA Flower Fresh 0% Aluminium 48hr Deodorant Spray, the quick dry flowery scented deodorant will keep you feeling fresh and clean all day long.

When staying active or working out, it is important to feel comfortable. You can feel confident about underarm protection with our range of NIVEA 48h antiperspirant protection. For extra tough workouts though, there is NIVEA MEN Black and White Max Protection Anti-Perspirant, so you can have complete confidence in your exercise without being distracted worrying about your underarms.

Sensitive skin often needs special care when it comes to deodorants. With NIVEA Sensitive Protect Anti-Perspirant you don't need to sacrifice ultimate protection for a weak deodorant with a gentle formula, as this deodorant has both! The formula is infused with avocado oil and offers 48 hours of sweat relief.
