Very lightweight and refreshing. Has a nice cooling sensation and a great scent. Leaves skin feeling smooth and irritation free. My aftershave of choice.

A good aftershave with a nice scent, but unfortunately I react to tea tree oil so I stopped using it after a few days. But for those who don't have such allergies this would be a well-priced product.

Very good product as an aftershave astringent. But I felt I needed more moisturizing afterwards. Very economical though, you need only large pea size of it. I have had a bottle for over four months and it hasn't reached halfway point. You can safely use it after shaving other parts of the body. Just not the special one ;)

It does everything that a good aftershave balm should do. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this too. Just buy it. You won't be sorry.

Great product for those who prefer aftershave products that don't fall into the overly-creamy category. Excellent moisturizer and very economical - this bottle lasts forever!

This is a great aftershave balm. Kind of gel-like. It offers great soothing for freshly shaved skin and rids your mug of razor burn and irritation. The cent is AWESOME (CITRUS). The largest bottle of quality aftershave I've ever purchased for 15 bucks. The only downfall I've noticed is that it feels slightly sticky to the touch after applying, but this could be because
I slap a load of this stuff on. It's GREAT. Best bang for your buck!!! I recommend you try it and see.

I didn't really enjoy this product. I prefer lotion like aftershaves instead of this thin petroleum jelly like substance. Plus, it really stung after i applied it to my skin, despite the fact that it is alcohol free. It didn't leave my skin as smooth as other lotion-like, moisturizing aftershaves.

One of my favoritie after shave balms. Awesome scent. Love the cooling sensation. Not greasy. Definitely recommended.

Just used this for the first time and am very glad I bought it. A little goes a long way. Very good price. Nice scent and great cooling sensation.

Reviewer: John, 2006-09-25 22:41:52
Feels great after shaving in multiple passes. I don't smell "citrus," I smell a wet-nap, although the scent doesn't last long.

Reviewer: Neil, 2006-11-02 17:16:40
Excellent. Makes my skin look and feel great.

Reviewer: Doug, 2006-11-12 15:10:56
What they said. Great stuff that leaves skin looking and feeling great. My wife doesn't like the scent too much, but I do.

Reviewer: Jeffrey, 2006-11-15 16:10:17
Whitish gel. Very smooth and very cooling, refreshing menthol feeling on freshly shaved face. A little goes a long way, dime-sized amount is enough. Scent is pleasant, with just a hint of tea tree oil being detectable. Absorbs within a few minutes, but does leave a very slightly sticky residue that takes longer to disappear. I apply moisturizer over it after I've gotten dressed, and its no problem.

This is a quality product and highly recommend others give it a try. I wish it had witch hazel in it as well, as that's the best skin astringent aftershave I've found.

Reviewer: Channing, 2006-12-15 16:08:56
A simple review - This is an excellent product. It feels great after shaving. One of the best aftershave's I've used. This and Code Blue ranks as my top recs.

Reviewer: Alexander, 2007-01-20 03:17:29
I have never used a better aftershave. Very light weight. Not greasy, yet decent moiturizing effect. You don't even know its there. Goes on smooth and easy. A real winner here!

Reviewer: michael, 2007-02-07 18:56:33
I've found that it is hard to go wrong with any of the Baxter's product line. It gets my vote for the best all-around, effective, gentle brand for most skin types. The after shave balm delivered as promised. I might just buy all Baxter's stuff from here on out!

Reviewer: Dean, 2007-11-11 10:14:27
Great content though I have had a poor experience with the new packaging. I travel quite a bit and the new packaging oozes out of the bottle 100% of the time during a flight. I have had the same experience with two bottles. The prior packaging did not have this problem. Bring back the tube.

I don't know what to say about this product. I have oily/combination skin and I feel this provides a lot of moisturizing. If I use too little, my face pulls when I apply it as it sticks... and if I use too much, it doesn't absorb as well. It smells like cough drops, HALLS, specifically, which doesn't go away right away. It provides a slight cooling sensation, I didn't find it to be intense, though. I like the consistency, as it is a little more runny than previous balms I used, such as Nivea, which allows it to spread a lot easier, and it doesn't feel heavy on the face. This would be better if it didn't linger on my face for as long, and if it prevented the oiliness from coming back after a few hours.

Reviewer: Justin, 2008-05-08 22:46:45
The cooling sensation this stuff gives is INTENSE. It felt like I dipped my face into a bowl of ice water; very refreshing though.

Reviewer: Jonathan, 2008-07-16 10:07:53
I absolutley love this product. Smells like lemon, and after application it pretty much "freezes" your face.

Reviewer: Sikandar, 2009-03-12 04:41:42
When I apply this balm it does cool down my skin, but then slowly a slight burning sensation comes back and I have to re-apply it a couple more times. It's better to take small amounts and rub it on three separate times rather than one big one. I admit sometimes I rush through my shave but my Nivea Sensitive aftershave was very forgiving on even those and I only had to apply it once. It's also not a great moisturizer for dry skin and is way overpriced. I'll stick with Nivea!
