Cooling Formula Post Shave Balm, Soothes, Cools And Protects Skin From Shaving Irritation, Dryness and Razor Burn, 4 Oz

Very cool, literally! Super soothing and cooling post shave balm. Leaves your face looking good too! Non drying and lightly scented. My daughter got me the shower soap and I was super impressed so I purchased the shave cream which is equally impressive. The whole Cremo product line for men’s grooming is awesome!

I love putting this on my bald head after a shave, really makes my morning. Smells great, isn't greasy, makes it feel nice and cool after a shave and you only have to use an almond size drop.

Very potent antiseptic fumes, need to apply sparingly. But it does a great job preventing razor burn.

I’m sure there are other brands on the market that also have good post shave products but I’ve always loved Cremo products and they are gentle on the wallet as well as high quality products. It won’t make you smell like a Gucci aftershave, attract unicorns, make you The One, or imbue you with magical skin healing powers, but what it does do ,it does very very well. You simply apply it post shave. Contrary to a long held belief, slapping your face repeatedly during application is completely optional unless you really enjoy that kind of thing, or consider yourself a devoted Ron Burgundy acolyte. Either way, it soothes any razor burn, it cools your skin, acts as a mild astringent and has a slight minty scent that some may not care for, but it disappears fairly quickly so it doesn’t clash with whatever fabulous cologne you plan to use. Plus it’s not expensive at all and just plain works. I can’t recommend it enough!

I should first start by saying that I am a woman with PCOS and have to shave my face daily. Ordinary aftershave lotions haven't done too much to help with the dry skin I often get after a particularly close shave, and tend to exacerbate any razor burn. This stuff is absolutely amazing! I absolutely love the cooling mint feeling; and even though I don't have much of a sense of smell I can definitely tell that this is peppermint. The cooling sensation lasts a while and is definitely a help to my dry, uncomfortable skin. This stuff moisturizes like you would not believe and it does not leave a greasy film or feeling on the skin like some other lotions do. When I use it, I tend to wipe the excess on my hands and it is really helping with the dry skin I get in winter. The only two problems I have found were that they don't make a larger bottle of this, and that they don't make a version for body, because I would buy that in a heartbeat and it would be absolutely wonderful in the summer. A body wash wouldn't be a bad idea, either! It always comes in a discreet box, and usually ends up arriving ahead of schedule. I don't really have any complaints about the price, because this stuff is worth it! The scent is more of a strong minty smell and not what most would consider a "masculine" or "manly" aroma. One actual problem I do have is that the bottle, while sturdy and unlikely to crack if dropped, does require some hard squeezing to get the lotion out. A tube might be easier.

ALL shaving products are subjective, your mileage may vary. My personal mileage: I only use Cremo for BBS and Nivea for DFS (rarely but occasionally for BBS). I've tried them all, a lot of the expensive ones too, they are great but why pay $50 -$60 or more when this $10 or less will perform exactly as well? It's easy to dispense, just turn upside down tap the cap and drop a pea-sized amount in my palm and I swipe I apply from ear to ear. It does what it is supposed to do. On me the fragrance does not linger. That's it. I like. This isn't rocket science, but... know what you want or need in an aftershave balm. I understand the criticism in some reviews but just like there are over a hundred razor blade brands that perform differently from one person to the next, you have to find out what will work for you. And that may take some experimenting. That having been said you must do your homework: nobody's needs are the same. Differing shaving techniques, your skin plus the tools you use all affect in determining which balm is for you: which shaving products do you use? razor - open comb, closed comb, adjustable, butterfly - razor blades, soap, preshaves, lotions, balms, etc. No one has the same skill level, skin type - normal oily, dry, sensitive - beard type from soft to coarse, curly/wavy, straight, your frequency of shaving - daily, two day, etc. - closeness of shave - BBS or DFS etc. Ingredients are important. Cremo has excellent and top performing ingredients that suit me perfectly Below is a list of the ingredients; each performs to a specific function, you'll have to look up what each does). Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Glyceryl Dilaurate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Dimethicone, Methyl Gluceth-20, Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil, Calophyllum Inophylum (Tahitian Tamanu) Seed Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Oil, Menthol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sodium Hydroxide, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Isopentyldiol, Disodium EDTA-Copper, Fragrance (Parfum). As a final disclaimer, I am NOT an employee nor evaluator for Cremo. I am just a happy user.

The aftershave balm appears to be effective in calming freshly-shaved skin. Very cooling effect. My only issue is the fragrance, which is very medicinal and off-putting on first application. Thankfully, it wears off quickly. Perhaps a bit of lavender and citrus to the formula might help.

Bought this because I love the shaving cream. It’s cooling and helps with razor burn. Can’t wait to try more from this brand.
