Nivea for men – MultiProtecting Post Shave Balm

Submitted by Shave Meister on Sunday, 16 August 2009No Comment

My earlier acquisitions which I still do use on and off ( I got too many others to rotate ). Nivea has a wide selection of aftershave balm for various types of skin. My skin ain’t exactly the dry or exquisitively sensitive – but pretty game to try different stuffs on it. There was no particular reason why i selected this particular Nivea AS balm except it was urm .. multiprotecting

Very thick white balm, thicker than The Body Shop Aftershave balm. Carries a slight masculine musky scent that lingers for more than 30 min, no hint of  fruitiness. ( SWMBO does not really like things too musky, so I apply and go to work with it than to apply at home – heh ) I find it leaves a slight layer of tackiness, and almost thin oil like feel ( and ! sheen ) even 30 min post application here in a humid sunny tropical Singapore ( As you can see, Nivea advises liberal application so I apply liberally too! ) . Perhaps the viscid balm might be beneficial for drier seasons or individuals with dry skin. Very slight cooling effect from the bit of alcohol in it ,  you can consider a degree from non detectable – good option for those looking for a lenient non burning post shave balm.

You might like it, give it a shot. I bought this 100ml glass bottle for less than a song – tag was less than half of what I paid for my Body Shop Aftershave Balm; and the cut-rate did not cut corners.

Ingredients ?

Water, Alcohol Denat, Glycerin, Distarch Phosphate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Panthenol, Fragrance, Tocopheryl Acetate, Bisabolol, Creatine, 1-Methylhydantoin-2-Imide, Ubiquinone, Propylene Glycol, Oyster Shell Extract, Sea Silt Extract, Cyclohexasiloxane, Triceteareth 4 Phosphate, Carbomer, Sodium Hydroxide, Tetrasodium Iminodisuccinate

Many stores in singapore carry Nivea products, you might save a dollar plus or more a bottle when you buy from the neighbourhood provision stores compared to some of the bigger pharmaceutical stores in shopping centres.

Will I get another bottle ? Nope. Too many other things to try
