I tried this, frustrated from my skin's reactions to Skintimate (sensitive shave gel or not). This works so much better. Wonderfully moisturizing, lathers easily, and won't irritate my skin. Hooray! M...Read more

Does a great job of moisturizing and prepping my skin for a shave--doesn't clog up my razor, and makes everything smooth! I really like the texture, and it's gentle enough that I can use it ANYWHERE w...Read more

This is the only shaving cream I use. It’s unlike the overly scented shaving cream/gels that I can’t stand. It has a light almond-oatmeal aroma. It really seems to give a close shave when paired with ...Read more

If Aveeno ever discontinues this product, I don't know what I will do! This is the BEST shaving gel I have ever used. It puts all the others to shame. I'm not sure if it does what it claims to do: ...Read more

I think this stuff is great, i have super sensitive skin that is painfully dry. This keeps my legs from getting irritated from shaving. It also has the effect of making hair seem finer.
