Deodorants Nivea "Powder Effect": composition and application features

"Powder Effect" is an innovative anti-perspiration product manufactured by Nivea, whose products are always popular and in demand due to safe composition, beneficial effect on the skin and practical use. Let's consider in more detail what is the peculiarity of this deodorant, as well as in what forms it is produced, and how they differ from each other.

The safety of any hygienic and cosmetic product is important for human health, and the developers of Nivea took care to create a product that is as natural as possible. In this case, the main component is kaolin, a natural white clay that has an enveloping and cleansing effect. The clay structure of this material, characterized by its fast drying, also imparted this quality to the deodorant. Thereby it dries almost instantly upon application, continuing to protect the skin without leaving stains on clothing.

An auxiliary ingredient of the roller means is water, purified by means of pre-filtration, and then by the method of reverse osmosis or ion exchange. It is worth noting that, unlike a spray, which contains a low percentage of alcohol, ethanol is not included in the antiperspirant roll-on and stick, so they are absolutely harmless to the skin. Along with this, the composition of the product includes vegetable esters of oils: jasmine, rose, sandalwood, tangerine, geranium, lily of the valley, bergamot, orange.

The distinctive characteristics of any form of this hygiene product are as follows.

• Fast drying, no unpleasant stickiness, which eliminates wet sweat spots. On this score, the opinion of doctors is not so rosy - dryness and clogging of pores with kaolin powder can lead to stagnation of sebum, the appearance of acne, abscesses and even tumor neoplasms. But based on the action of the deodorant, it only slightly dries the epidermis, and this is not critical for its surface layer and structure.
• A positive quality of Nivea products is also the long-term presence of a pleasant aroma when used.... According to the manufacturer, it can last up to 2 days. Indeed, many people note the amazing persistence of the smell, although so pronounced and not weakening, it is not always appropriate.
• A positive point in the application, of course, is the absence of such a problem as drips on garments, this is especially true for women.... It will be helpful to find out if all types of product meet these requirements, and how they differ.

Cosmetics in this series have their own characteristic features, but they are all adapted for any type of skin, which allows you to choose only the format of the product that is convenient for individual use.

• Spray "Powder Effect" Fresh is intended, rather, for young girls and women who lead an active lifestyle. In emergency situations, the product can suppress unpleasant sweat odors within seconds. A positive quality of the form is that the composition of the deodorant does not block the work of the sweat glands and does not clog the pores. Thanks to this, the skin breathes naturally and its normal functionality is not impaired. The components of the product include alcohol, which has a disinfectant effect on the epidermis. In some cases, the additive can provoke redness, but this usually happens after shaving the hair.

All products in this series have a guarantee of safety, since it has been tested under the supervision of a dermatological service. This means that the products are hypoallergenic and do not cause irritation, even on sensitive skin.

One of the advantages of products with a powder effect is the absence of aluminum salts in the composition, which makes it possible to use them regularly. But you need to use a hygienic product correctly.

• Before using, take a bath or shower and dry the body well. Apply the product to dry skin.
• If a spray is used, keep the balloon 15 cm from the armpit.
• Enough spraying for 2 sec.
• It will take a quarter of a second to dry, after which you can get dressed.

In addition, the spray requires special care, since the container is under pressure and is flammable. The product must not be used near sources of fire; it is also undesirable to heat the container.During spraying, do not allow the composition to come into contact with the eyes and skin with minor injuries - scratches, cuts and wounds.

Reviews on the product "Powder Effect" from Nivea are different and controversial. According to customers, the roll-on deodorant, as stated by the German manufacturer, is harmless and dries quickly, but its antiperspirant result lasts no more than 12 hours, that is, the effectiveness indicators are very average compared to other formats. In addition, it turned out that it does not dry out instantly. The stability of its smell is associated with stress and physical activity. If you do not engage in physical labor or sports, and if it is not too hot, then the smell of sweat may not be felt for 48 hours. The last statement is very doubtful - very few people do not carry out water procedures for two days in a row.

The deodorant in the form of a spray was liked by users due to its dense spray and weightlessness, lightness after drying. Many people note that, despite the alcohol in the composition, the product does not cause allergies, but it is capable of leaving stains on colored and dark clothes, despite the statement about the complete absorption of sweat and moisture. There are many good reviews about the solid antiperspirant - it does not fill the room with a rich smell, unlike a spray, it is convenient to carry and use. Women often point to the pleasant scent of the stick.

Conclusion - any means for personal hygiene must be chosen individually, in accordance with the characteristics of your own body, and not to miss everything that is actively advertised from store shelves. It is worth remembering that antiperspirants should be used for the shortest possible time, that is, applied in the morning after a shower and washed off in the evening before bed. And on weekends, if you're not going anywhere, it's best to let your skin rest.
