Roll-on comparison
Shower to Shower vs Rexona: which roll-on for Kenya?
Rexona is one of the roll-ons Kenyan shoppers reach for first, and it is a perfectly good antiperspirant. If you have landed here you are probably weighing it against Shower to Shower — so here is a straight comparison of what we can actually stand behind: our own specs, our own prices, and a checklist for reading any roll-on pack on the shelf next to ours.
Side by side
| Shower to Shower | Rexona | |
|---|---|---|
| Price per bottle | Ksh 370 direct from us | Varies by retailer & variant — check the shelf tag |
| Same bottle in supermarkets | Ksh 435–455 | Stocked in most Kenyan supermarkets |
| Alcohol | 0% alcohol, every scent | Varies by variant — read the pack |
| Protection | 48-hour freshness | Stated on pack, usually 48–72h |
| Sensitive skin | Dermatologically tested, made for sensitive underarms | Some variants are; check the label |
| White marks | Dries clear, no white marks | Varies by variant |
| Delivery in Nairobi | Free same-day in the CBD, Ksh 125 elsewhere in Nairobi | Buy in store, or via a marketplace |
| Gift back on every bottle | Ksh 50 into your gift wallet, grows up to +80% if you save it | — |
We only state what we can verify. Our own prices and specs are exact; the Rexona column stays general on purpose, because its price and formula differ by variant, pack size and retailer. Check the shelf tag and the pack on the day you buy.
What to check on any roll-on before you pay
- 1
Alcohol content
Alcohol evaporates fast and can sting freshly shaved skin. If the ingredients list starts with alcohol denat., expect that sting in Nairobi heat.
- 2
Hours claimed vs hours you get
A 48-hour claim assumes a normal day. If you are on your feet or commuting in traffic, look for antiperspirant salts rather than fragrance alone.
- 3
Price per millilitre, not per bottle
Two roll-ons at the same shelf price can differ by 15ml. Divide before you compare.
- 4
Where the markup sits
A 50ml Shower to Shower bottle is Ksh 435–455 on a supermarket shelf and Ksh 370 direct from us — the difference is retail margin, not product.
Where Shower to Shower lands
Ksh 370 a bottle, 0% alcohol, 48-hour freshness, and Ksh 50 of gift credit back on every bottle you buy. Skip the gift at checkout and it grows — up to 80% more, plus a free gift item at the top of the ladder. That is the part no supermarket shelf can match.
Questions people ask
Is Shower to Shower cheaper than Rexona in Kenya?
Shower to Shower is Ksh 370 a bottle bought direct from us. Rexona's shelf price moves with the retailer, the variant and the pack size, so check the shelf tag on the day — but the same Shower to Shower bottle sells for Ksh 435–455 in Kenyan supermarkets, which is the gap you close by buying direct.
Which roll-on is better for sensitive skin?
Shower to Shower's roll-on is alcohol-free and dermatologically tested, which is what most people with sensitive underarms are looking for. Rexona sells several variants and some are formulated for sensitive skin — read the pack, since the answer is per-variant rather than per-brand.
Where can I buy either brand in Nairobi?
Rexona is stocked widely across Kenyan supermarkets and chemists. Shower to Shower is sold in the same supermarkets and direct from this site, where a bottle is Ksh 370 with free same-day delivery inside Nairobi CBD.
