I’m a big fan of Nivea for their fabulous product range that caters everyone’s skin! It’s an ultimate must have for your skin care regimen. Their lotions and moisturizers are the best, though it feels heavy and oily in the skin. Living in a tropical country like Philippines, that’s one drawback of Nivea. But weighing the pros and cons, I’m still shipping for Nivea! 

I’d been using Nivea Extra Whitening Roll-On Deodorant for years. I had switched between the orange, pink and pearl variant. I keep on coming back with this brand due to their superb quality. It doesn’t darken your underarm, neither does it whiten your underarm. It only maintains it and prevents further darkening you get for using other products. It lessens but it doesn’t eliminate the chicken skin (aka Keratosis Pilaris). Thus, there’s a need to clean up your underarm at the end of the day and exfoliate it once or twice a week. So why did I switch to Rexona?

First time I tried Nivea, hands down! It feels so comfy and smells great. But I’ve noticed that it’s staying power is not pretty good. It’s not 24 hours sweat free, neither it is 12 hours. I felt it’s good for just 6 hours, depending on the activity. Everytime I go outside the office, I’m already sweating much. It’s just so hot here in the Philippines, that running for office errands equates to exercising. Is it me or the weather? Or I’m already immune with the product that my perspiration is already beyond the control of Nivea. That’s why, I need to clean up and reapply it at the middle of the day. Too bad.

The Big Switch

Then, one day, I’m a wearing a sleeveless dress and I was running errands from the office to the bank and to the hardware. But OMG, my underarm already smells bad. Well, my left underarm was dry but my right underarm was sweating.  So I tried to clean it up with a wet tissue only since I forgot to bring my Nivea deodorant. But No, the wet tissue can’t handle it. After 5 minutes, it’s already sweating and smelling bad! Super gross. Well played, Delsie.

I felt shy to go to the hardware smelling like vinegar. So I dropped by in the nearest drugstore and bought a budget deodorant, which is Rexona Motionsense Advance Whitening. To my surprise, I didn’t sweat all day until I rinse it off. It’s powder dry and smells great all day. Plus, it gradually whitens my underarm. Rexona was beyond my expectations. Its quality is more than the price I’ve paid.

It’s been 2 weeks since I bought Rexona. So far, I’m impressed with its drying effect which feels like powder on your underarm. It’s long lasting floral scent and lastly, it’s softening and lightening effect due to the Sunflower Seed Oil. Maybe their 7 day claim means gradual and slow lightening. At least, their 48 hour anti perspirant is really true and I can attest to that claim! I hope I can give you a review on it’s whitening effect, let’s give it a month or two to test it’s whitening effect.

Here are the ingredients.

The Winner: Rexona Motionsense Advance Whitening

Love it! Rexona won't let you down! This is a must try product for those who has active lifestyle! For girls like me who sweat much and has some armpit odor, worry not, this product can help us a lot!

But remember that our lifestyle has a lot to say about our perspiration and body odor. This may due to hormones, diet and medications. So let’s have a healthy and balanced diet!  Reduce red meat and alcohol, ladies. Stay away from processed foods and say yes on fruits and veggies! But there’s one thing I can’t give up, and that’s coffee! LOL. Cheers to us coffee-lovers
