Proraso After Shave Balm - Sensitive

A really nice product and the brand that I always use. Soothing to apply. No stings. Absorbs well and a gentle fragrance that doesn’t overwhelm. Lasts for ages and when the price falls to around a tenner then it’s cracking value for money.

Due to sensitive skin issues, I've ditched the "5 bladed " razor and gone back to the beginning, with a safety razor. Thought id switch up to a better balm also, works great. Took a few shaves before I started seeing the difference, but my skin feels and looks better after shaving now and nice scent also + no more red blotches or sureness.

After years of wet shaving, I felt that it was becoming a chore, As I have got older my beard has become more difficult to deal with. I reviewed how I was doing it, I threw the disposable razors and the areosol shaving gel away and bought an old fashioned safety razor, a quality shaving brush and some Ingram shaving cream. I now look forward to shaving and afterwards my skin looks and feels so much better. I always used to use Nivea after shave balm when I shaved the using disposable blades which was OK, very good in fact, but I started to develop an allergy to it. I have tried several others and indeed a Tesco's own brand product was very good and similar to Proaso, but they discontinued it. This Proaso seems to be an Italian product and I was told about it by a work colleague, I have been using it for a while now, I'm on my second bottle. It is more expensive but a little goes a long way. It does the job and leaves a pleasant residual smell that people seem to like. There is no greasiness and it is absorbed quickly. I am allergic to many things but so far so good with this stuff. I hope I can get a continued supply.

This aftershave balm is very different to products I have used in the past e.g ( Nivea , Bull Dog ) as an Italian I will try not to be biased... The product arrived reasonably on time and when I opened it I found a free gift inside which I was happy about ! It was a small tube of Proraso Shave soap (which I would highly reccomend) The difference between the soap and the aftershave balm is that they smell very different (I was expecting the classic eucalyptus menthol smell) and got a very natural leafy smell which is very delicate and different. Overall I think the price is a little excessive , I cannot remember how much it costs in Italy but bearing in mind it is an imported quality product (which should last a while) I would say treat yourself especially if you are a Proraso fan like myself!

I've been a fan of Proraso balm for years. Fresh scent, not too thick and not greasy. Makes your skin feel pleasant after a shave and calms razor burn.

Amazing balm

Normal

Very good product for sensitive skin, used to use similar products from a well known brand beginning with N, and while it is more expensive, you get what you pay for.

Great if you have sensitive neck. Could be cheaper imo, wish they had bigger bottles of it.

Indeed delivers what promises, very good

This really moisturises my face and calms it down after a shave! Great buy!

Crema post barba della Proraso dalla gradevolissima profumazione al tè verde. Oltre a prevenire le irritazioni e ad idratare la pelle stressata dalla rasatura è a mio parere molto indicata per l'estate per via della sua profumazione. Se ben dosata, lascia la pelle morbida e si assorbe senza lasciare residui. Passato da poco al wet shaving trovo la pelle molto più morbida e con molte meno irritazioni soprattutto sul collo. Consigliatissimo per neofiti e non. Ovviamente grandiosa Amazon, ordinato alle 17.00 arrivato a casa alle 16.00 del giorno dopo, senza parole. APPLAUSI!

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.
