Which deodorant is
best for me?
The right deodorant for
every type
- Sprays and atomizers have been hugely popular since 1965 and are the undisputed favourite among consumers. The spray at the push of a button is effective and ensures perfect distribution of the active and caring ingredients. Your underarms feel instantly fresh and smell great.
- The second most popular type is the handy deo roll-on, which has been on the market since the 1950s. Thanks to the practical applicator, the active ingredients of this deodorant are applied very precisely, and roll-ons are now even available in an aluminium-free version.
- The deo stick is also very popular, but still ranks third. This type of deodorant leaves a thin layer of cream on the skin, which provides reliable protection and keeps the skin feeling dry.
- Deodorant creams usually work in the same way: they prevent the formation of bacteria that cause odours and provide moisture and caring ingredients to the skin under your arms. Most deodorant creams are alcohol-free and therefore also ideal for sensitive skin.
Did you know that Fresh Pure Deodorant Roll-on contains no aluminium at all? The Fresh range includes the first roll-on that effectively prevents the growth of bacteria and the odours they cause, thanks to an antibacterial formula and which also contains no aluminium. The naturally acting active ingredient BIO-FLORINE® in Pure & Natural Action offers the perfect combination of gentle NIVEA® care and effective protection, so your skin can breathe freely! And of course, the Fresh Pure, Natural and Flower scents and the men’s scents Active and Ocean are also available as sprays.
NIVEA Satin Sensation deodorants such as Satin Sensation Anti-perspirant Roll-on offer up to 48 hours of reliable protection. The gentle care formula also ensures that your skin is not irritated, but remains soft and beautiful.

myths that just won't go away
There are many rumours circulating about deodorants. Do they have anything to do with reality? Let’s take a closer look!
Then there's the persistent rumour that you lose weight by sweating. If only that were true! Unfortunately, that belief is incorrect. When we sweat, we lose water only – not fat. Any weight loss is balanced out as soon as we drink again.
Myth number three: you don't just sweat from exercise – spicy food has the same effect. This rumour is partially correct! Spicy spices boost our metabolism and increase blood circulation. The body reacts to this by producing more sweat.
Anti-perspirants can leave stains, especially under the arms. The Invisible For Black & White Clear Anti-perspirant Roll-on protects white and black clothing from white marks and yellow rings.
Which are true?
- If you take a cold shower, you won’t sweat. That’s only true in the short term. A cold shower does cool the body, but soon after, the body balances the temperature again.
- If you use a deodorant on freshly shaved skin, you risk razor burn. Wrong: razor burn is not caused by deodorant, but because the sensitive skin gets irritated during shaving. Use a shaving foam or shaving gel to protect your skin. Afterwards, you should use an alcohol-free deodorant, such as NIVEA Pure & Natural Spray. Avoid anti-perspirant right after you’ve shaved anyway.
- Another myth: deodorants and anti-perspirants clog the pores. Aluminium-free deodorants actually work on the skin surface and neutralise odours caused by bacteria. The ingredients in anti-perspirants temporarily narrow the pores to reduce sweating. This gives you a fresh feeling and has no negative effect on your skin at all, so it can still breathe freely.
