L'OCCITANE Soothing and Moisturizing After Shave Balm, 2.5 Fl Oz: Hydrate Skin, Reduce Feelings of Irritation, Soothe After Shave, Made in France, Vegan, Best in Grooming

This is the best after shave lotion I have ever used. It really soothes my shin after shaving. A little goes a long way. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and will buy it again.

This nourishing creme replenishes lost oils in your skin from hot water, environment etc. If you shave with a blade, or if you shave with power razor this rare post shave crème will make your face feel softer. The aroma is warm, cozy, friendly, and exquisite.

I have sensitive skin so I try not to shave daily. Having said that, I've had to switch from an aftershave LOTION to a aftershave BALM so avoid the burning sensation from alcohol-based lotions. For years, I didn't realize that there were balms that didn't burn my face.So after reading several reviews online, I opted for a few to try out. So far, L'Occitane has been the clear winner.- L'Occitane (Cade)- Castle Forbes (Lime)- Tobac (lotion)- Proraso (Cypress & Vetyver)Since Proraso was in easily available & reviews were good, I went with that. It's ok, and really didn't wonder if there were better options for my sensitive skin. But when I started running out of Proraso "Cypress & Vetyver" (OMG, what a great, mild smelling balm!), I began searching reviews again for a second option.Well, Proraro & Castle Forbes are cremier than L'Occitane, like hand lotion. L'Occitane is more like toothpaste, so thicker. I use a double-razor shaver so I get REALLY close. Well, the first two worked at a "6" (1-10, with 10 being the best). I made a mistake when I ordered Tobac because I accidentally ordered the LOTION instead of the BALM, so it left burn marks on my face (ouch!). L'Occitane was awesome! I used it alone, and over Proraso & Castle as a band-aid because it was thicker like toothpaste. I give it a "9". Why not a "10"? Because it kinda has a baby powder scent to it which isn't as manly as I like, lol. But who cares as long as it treats my sensitive skin well. L'Occitane is outstanding!I'm still trying out a few others to have (2) in my arsenal, depending on mood or outing. I might stick with Proraso balm (Cypress & Vetyver) for good performance & outstanding mild scent. Maybe this will help someone.

If used correctly, in small quantities, this container could last you years. That is really the only way that i can justify the premium pricing. But the way that it makes my face feel and look after a shave is better than anything else that i have ever tried.

I got this for my dad as a gift and let’s just say we have this set on auto replenish for each month. It is so nourishing and calming specially after a shave. My dad applies this everyday even without shaving. It does have a really strong scent though so if you are sensitive to scent I would careful with this.

I tried a sampler of this from the L’Occitane store a while back, but decided to use rewards points to give it a try. Been using it for almost 2 weeks now. Wow! Zero irritation (knock on wood). I only use after shave balm in my neck, never my face. As someone with sensitive skin, the subtle scent is really a nice change from unscented balms. I’ll probably explore other products from the brand after this experience.

great item

I was trying for years to get something that will make my skin smooth after a shave and this is doing the job. No red skin or irritation. Of course, that I am combining this product with a safety razor and using a proraso sensitive skin shaving cream, but this after shave one is doing the magic of stopping the irritation completely. Yes, it can be pricy and expensive but if you have really sensitive skin this product will definitely help you all the way, but remember to stay away from the regular razor and regular shaving gels.The scent is good as well but it wont last long.
