This is a refreshing change to the common deodorant. It's essentially a liquid that absorbs quickly into skin which is nice in preventing the white marks on clothes. The smell is clean and fresh just as you would expect from Nivea. It also works well to prevent odor and wetness. I've never tested it longer than 24 hours and I'm not incredibly active so I haven't really put it through its paces, but for normal everyday use, it works.
