Review: Nivea Men Sensitive Protect gift pack

These might be a gym bag essential all year round, but at Christmas they're the perfect stocking filler

These might be a gym bag essential all year round, but at Christmas they’re the perfect stocking filler

For those of you out there who find your average deodorant stings too much or leaves you with that feeling of residue on your skin for days that you can’t scrub off, Nivea have the answer with a range of products for sensitive skin.

What with it being the Yuletide season, there’s also a very handy gift set on hand so you can get your brother, father or pungent workmate that you got stuck with in the Secret Santa the perfect gift, without breaking the bank. They make a great stocking filler too, and if you’re anything like this JOE, getting gifted shower gel and deodorant means you’re far more likely to actually use it. We’re kind of lazy when it comes to buying these things, get them in bulk and then run out of everything at the same time, so it’s a real expense, which is why we hate doing it.

That’s not the case with the Nivea Men Sensitive Protect range however, as both the spray and the shower gel that come in the package are not only cheap and cheerful, but they’re not overly fragranced and won’t leave you feeling like under your arms has become a desert made of chalk. You feel refreshed and smell clean, but you don’t give off an odour of having bathed in cheap cologne before heading out the door. At €5.99, it’s great value too.

The packaging is clear and attractive, but most importantly it’s not bulky so we don’t have to worry about fitting it in with the rest of our gear into our gym bag, which is important if you’re trying to squeeze in a workout before work or on your lunch break. Pop these two in the pocket of your bag and your set for anything the day can throw at you.
