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

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!

One of the few aftershaves where the cooling effect doesn't seem diminished after a few uses. Also seemed to help keep my skin quite clear. Good ingredient list. Cremo seems to be a quality brand for a commercial company.

I had been using Nivea but am now switching to this balm from Cremo. It absorbs clean, seems to reduce irritation, so it works nicely. IME, Nivea does a decent job moisturizing but didn’t do much else..It doesn’t smell bad exactly but the aroma could stand to be nicer. I was surprised I didn’t love the smell after my great experience with one of Cremo’s shaving creams. That said, I am switching to this balm because I think it works better than Nivea.

Most aftershaves can feel very oily or very fragrant. This is a refreshing alternative.For those with oily skin, most aftershaves feel like too much, clogging pores even though the skin hungers for some post-shave repair. Applied, lightly, the cream dries to a every so slightly tacky finish. There is a cooling sensation that lingers for a few minutes. The aroma smells nice and not too strong, but does seem to dissipate quickly - this might be a positive or a negative depending on what you want.As someone who wants some post-shave care and nothing else, this fits the bill nicely.

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.

This is a pretty good post shave balm. I would give it five stars, but it’s hard to get out of the bottle which is thick plastic. You have to squeeze the bottle to get the balm out, which is much more difficult than it is for the Edge and American Crew products I’ve used that are equally good.

This after shaving lotion is one of the best that I have used so far. Has a great cooling effect with a great smell that is not offensive, as if you just stepped out of a barber shop with a clean shave.

I used so many products, but lotion is the most effective against burns and irritation. I have sensitive skin and it has no problem. This is better than Nevia Sensitive after shave!If you use in the winter: good, it actually has shear butter it’s thick and moisturizing. Only use a layer of moisturizer after this is enough.If you use in the summer: it’s cool but can be oily after a couple of hours.If you like mint: good, this thing’s mint feeling last at least 20 mins.If you don’t like fragrance: this thing is not for you.
