Aqua Velva Sensitive 5 in 1 balm

[RSC]

Never tried a Balm before only splashes but I think I might give this a try. Does it have the same cooling effect as the original AV?

I don't really notice a cooling effect and I don't see menthol in the ingredients. AV is one splash I haven't tried, though.

I bought a tube of it and gave it my son. I use face moisturizer so a balm is just overkill. I use a splash AS for smell and the burn. It's ok but it had next to no scent and was nowhere near an AV smell.

The Nivea's just watered-down hand cream at a higher price.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with your assessment of the Nivea. I was so pleased with the AV that I thought I would start to explore the world of balms and bought a bottle of Nivea. It really seems like hand cream with little to no fragrance. I don't like a strong lingering fragrance (Speick is my favorite splash) but I like to have some fragrance and the AV hits it just about right. I'll be using up the Nivea as a dry skin lotion on the hands and arms.

Found this in Walgreens today. Gonna pick up a tube.

Very good product, has replaced Nivea Sensitive Balm in my daily regimen. It's thick, so I apply after a splash of witch hazel. A little goes a loooong way. Good scent, too. I follow it up with Aqua Velva after shave for a nice cool finish. It's available everywhere, so i never worry about running out.

For the price, it's a steal.

Since this's been kicked, will say: I don't see this stuff on shelves anymore ... not at Wallyworld, anyways.

Like they only stocked it once time. Weird.

I was about to pick this up at the drugstore and found this in the ingredient list -- stopped me right away.

Wholly heck!

"Salicylic acid as a medication is used most commonly to help remove the outer layer of the skin.[10] As such, it is used to treat warts, psoriasis, acne, ringworm,dandruff, and ichthyosis.[10][11]"

Removes skin.

I was wondering what the problem was ... I thought that was aspirin!
