Review: Nivea Men Silver Protect anti-perspirant

More proof, if it was needed, that good things come in small packages

More proof, if it was needed, that good things come in small packages

Cramming your gym bag at the start (or end) of a busy day is a task that we really don’t enjoy. Most of the time it’s done in a panic, you struggle to make sure that you haven’t forgotten anything vital like a change of socks, shower gel or a towel, and then you have to lug it around everywhere on top of that.

That’s why this Nivea Men Silver Protect anti-perspirant travel size is the perfect fit for bringing around with you, and making sure that you smell fresh for the whole day. Since it’s so small, there’s no need to ever take it out of your bag so that way you’ll never forget it. You will of course have to replace it the odd time, but given that it gives you 48 hours of protection, you don’t need to overdo it when you’re spraying it on, a little bit will go a long way.

If you’re headed away for the weekend of taking a trip for business then it won’t take up too much room in your travel bag, and most importantly it smells pretty good too, with a nice citrus hit that still has a musky scent. It’s pretty refreshing and contains silver ions that fight body odour, similar to the shower gel. The two will work well in tandem, and they’re both very easy on the skin (it has no alcohol or colourants), which is a definite plus in our book when it comes to spraying stuff under our arms.

Overall, we’re pretty happy with this for all the above reasons, plus the fact that holding such a small can of anti-perspirant makes us feel like a giant. We will crush your puny city, but will smell good while doing it.
