Nuvella Lakerain Deodorising Glycolic Acid Stick

Because Nuvella isn't simply another deodorant trying to cover the smell.

Many natural deodorants rely on fragrance, powders or ingredients that absorb moisture. Nuvella uses glycolic acid to lower the skin's surface pH, making the area less welcoming for the bacteria responsible for creating body odor.

So instead of adding another smell on top of the problem, you're targeting the environment where the odor is being produced.

Nuvella is designed to keep odor away for 24+ hours from one application.

Research on low-pH glycolic-acid formulations found significantly less underarm odor even 24 hours after application.

That means no constantly reaching for wipes, sprays or another layer of deodorant every few hours. Apply it as part of your daily routine and get on with your day.

Nuvella is designed for regular body use, but glycolic acid is still an exfoliating acid, so very sensitive skin can sometimes experience mild tingling, dryness or irritation.

If your skin is sensitive, start slowly and use a light layer rather than applying too much at once. You can also patch test a small area first.

Don't apply it to broken, irritated or freshly damaged skin.

No — and that's intentional.

Nuvella is not an antiperspirant. It doesn't block your sweat glands and it won't stop menopausal hot flushes.

What it targets is the odor that develops when sweat interacts with bacteria on your skin.

So you may still sweat during a hot flush, but the goal is to stop that sweat turning into the strong oniony smell you're worried about.

If your main problem is physically soaking through clothes rather than odor, you can use an antiperspirant separately if you choose.

It can if you apply glycolic acid immediately after shaving, because shaving temporarily makes the skin more sensitive.

The easiest solution is to give your skin time to settle before applying it.

For example, shave at night and use Nuvella the following morning, or shave in the morning and apply later once your skin feels completely calm.

If you notice persistent burning or irritation, stop using it on that area until your skin has recovered.

Yes — it can be used on several external areas where sweat and odor tend to build up, including:

For intimate areas, keep it strictly to external skin only. Do not apply it directly to genital tissue, mucosal areas, broken skin or internally.

No.

Nuvella is aluminium-free because it isn't designed to block your sweat glands like a traditional antiperspirant.

Its job is different: target the skin environment associated with odor, rather than physically stopping you from sweating.

Nothing — it's unscented.

There's no strong floral, powdery or men's-deodorant fragrance trying to disguise your body odor.

That means when the smell is gone, you know it isn't simply being covered by another scent.

And if you want to wear your favourite perfume, it doesn't have to compete with your deodorant.

Use it on clean, completely dry skin.

Apply a light, even layer to the area you want to target. You don't need to repeatedly coat the skin — more product doesn't necessarily mean better results.

If you're new to glycolic acid or know your skin is sensitive, introduce it gradually and see how your skin responds.
