I have been shaving more or less very day for over forty years, most of them using a rotary-type electric razor such as my current one. In all that time, I have rarely used any beard prep or aftershave. That is not to say that I didn't need it: My face is quite sensitive, even to the rotary electric, and was quite blotchy and irritated after every shave; but I simply ignored this.
However, for the past few years, I have been experiencing facial eczema, mainly around the base of my nose and on my cheeks. I finally decided to deal with this a few months back, and part of my strategy was to begin taking greater care with my shaving habits. Since then, Nivea for Men After Shave Replenishing Balm, Normal to Dry Skin, has become a regular and extremely satisfactory part of that new regimen.
After only a few days of regular use, the eczema disappeared for good, as did the chronic post-shave rash. I find the slight fragrance pleasant and subdued; my wife finds it sexy, which is a plus! The instructions recommend applying "a small amount," and I have found this to be sound advice: It is quite concentrated, and a mere quarter to half a teaspoon is all I need. Much more than this, and my face feels "plastered."
Since finding this product, I have tried a few other brands for comparison, but have always returned to the Nivea. Smells great, does what it says (soothes and replenishes), and is extremely economical to use. |
Great aftershave for sensitive skin

| I have a fairly sensitive skin and most aftershaves either don't do anything for me or are too harsh on the skin. This product however, is different. I tried several Nivea products, and while there is an aftershave for sensitive skin ( white bottle ), I find this one to be a lot better. Yes, it does give you a tingly sensation, but it does not leave your skin dry nor is it a gooey substance. It is slightly more viscous than most aftershaves but it has a fresh scent and the alcohol content seem to be just right. For me this is the perfect aftershave and since I found out about it I've been using it every day. |

| You can get a lot of use out of just one pack of four. This product is impressive in that in just two weeks after I started use, my redness and shaving discomfort were simply gone. It doesn't leave a greasy residue but your skin will feel heavier and slightly masked after application until about 16 hours later. You do get used to it, and it is not inconvenient or uncomfortable for me. The scent is quite pleasing and very masculine. |

| I have extremely dry skin around my mouth and chin after I shave. I have tried several after shaves and lotions. The Nivea for Men After Shave has worked the best for me. It does not take a lot of this product so a little goes a long ways. I also like the light fragrance. If you have dry dry skin after shaving. I would try this After Shave. |
not soothing, not moisturizing, and smelly

| I thought I'd try this based on the reviews, but for me it did not work. I use an electric 'wet' shaver. When putting this on, I could feel a tingly stinging sensation, it made my skin feel dry and sore, not moisturized. It also had a strong 'manly' odor (as my fiancé put it). Long story short, I tried it once and sent it back. |
