ProrasoAfter Shave Balm for Men, Sensitive Skin Moisturizer with Oatmeal and Green Tea, 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

As this Amazon listing sells both the liquid and the cream Proraso aftershave, I want to note that my review pertains to the cream which is their "sensitive skin" formula.Over the years I have used various after shave creams and lotions, primarily for the purpose of reducing razor burn (and, to a lesser extent, to prevent dry skin.) Some products have been better than others, but none that I have used worked as well as this Proraso does. I've been using this aftershave cream exclusively for the better part of two years and will continue using this. Not only am I delighted with how well this aftershave works, but I am blown away by how FAST it works!One issue I had with some aftershaves was that they clogged pores, and this generally causes me to have an acne breakout. The Proraso does not cause me acne in the least, and so I feel this product does not clog pores up. Additionally, it does not have even the slightest bit of that "sticky" feeling that some aftershaves have in which you can feel it on your face for hours after application. In addition to not being sticky, the scent is also a home-run: it is a minor-but-pleasing scent with a more masculine fragrance (but without being overpowering.)The formulation that they use for their aftershave cream is both very effective and very fast-acting. The oatmeal extract in this must be a really effective moisturizing ingredient because, like some Aveeno & Eucerin products I have used that also contain oatmeal, this gives some serious moisturizing effects & instant relief from discomfort. I also think the green tea extract may help here too. Green tea is a pretty strong anti-inflammatory and razor burn is technically inflammation; Proraso is very fast to calm razor burn and visibly reduce irritation, and so I feel the green tea probably plays a role with how fast-acting this aftershave is. I also like how Proraso makes it clear that their aftershave does not have silicone, mineral oil, or dyes in it, and this is because I find those ingredients can often irritate my skin.As for the price, this is one of the more expensive aftershaves I have purchased. You can find aftershaves at a grocery store for 1/5th the price, so this Proraso is anything but cheap. However, this is awesomely good aftershave. I do not mind paying the price one bit given how well this works. Razor burn is wickedly uncomfortable and Proraso's aftershave cream works faster and more effectively than other products I have used. So overall, I highly recommend this.If you are considering this as a gift, I think it is a great choice because this is one of those products that almost everyone falls in love with after they use it. The box is presentable, the scent is mild, pleasant, and masculine, and the large majority of people who use this will fall in love with it's speed and effectiveness. Proraso also makes shaving cream that is another fantastic product. I have given the shave cream & aftershave cream together as a gift on a few occasions and the people I gave them to absolutely loved it. So I figured I'd throw that out there in the event you ever needed a cool gift.

Found this product when we were in Italy. Love the smell, so masculine and delightful. Not to mention how it softens my husband's skin. The Italians take skin care very seriously. This is a quality product, so glad I can get it on Amazon!

I got this as a gift and he loves it! He says its moisturizing and feels soothing on the skin after shaving. I noticed that when using his old aftershave he would get more razor bumps and ingrown hairs. I think this was because he has dry skin, so those with dry skin may enjoy this one as it seems to help prevent both razor bumps and ingrowns! Definitely recommend! It also smells nice. :)

First time using Proraso products. I bought this in conjunction with the shaving soap and pre shave cream.This aftershave has more liquid to it then the ones that I am used to. My go to is Jack Black shaving gel. I am 38 and i shave everyday. I have tried multiple shaving products and Jack Black has never let me down. I have found Harry's brand of aftershave to be of equal soothing to Jack Black.Now for this aftershave. Even though it is more liquid than I like it is very moisturizing. It has a good scent and does not irritate the face post shave. I believe that the price to performance of this product is great. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a good, well priced product

Work's great only takes a little

This review is for the Proraso After Shave Balm.I like that the bottle is hefty glass.I like the scent, it is difficult to describe but it makes me feel good. It has a lot of undertones and I appreciate that.It pours well and is easy to meter small amounts at a time.I have no complaint.I will be replacing my "Brand X" brush with a Proraso brush.Each of these 3 products in the picture perform flawlessly, and I imagine the brush will satisfy me, as well.Thank you.

If you do not want a heavy fragrance and a very soothing after shave that leaves your face feeling nice and smooth, then this is what you want. Just about a 1/4 teaspoon and rub it in, and you will be amazed at how refreshing it feels and how smooth the skin will be.

My skin is very prone to razor burn and irritation from shaving, especially when shaving daily. This aftershave balm is BIZARRELY good at its job - immediately after my skin feels back to normal again, no irritation from the shave and long after I've had a HUGE reduction in redness and irritation to my skin. It soaks in very quickly and is not oily or sticky - about 5 minutes and you can't even tell it was there, but my skin is left moisturized and soft. This stuff is pricey as hell, but if you're conservative with your use (and trust me - you only need very little to cover the beard area), it is well worth the investment if you feel like you are suffering after shaving. Absolutely love it.
