Item Description
Ill start off by saying that this is really a very good product. Ive been using it exclusively for 2 years now. Previously I had used a wide variety of commonly available products in the mens section of supermarkets and chemists without much joy. The top of that list was Nivea AS balm, which wasnt bad at all. However, after using this Clinique I have never gone back.
It is a thin and runny milk-type product, with a very slight brown tinge. It is unscented, so I have marked that as n/a. It does however have a very slight hint of a synthetic smell. For me at least, it is not unpleasant, and does not persist at all after application.
Upon post-shave application, you get a very mild 'alcholy-type' tingle. But this is definatley not an alcohol burn sensation. It is more like a mild quenching of any nicks which is actually very satisfying! It definately leaves the skin feeling refreshed and nourished. It is also an effective moisturiser, and I have turned to it even when unshaved for taking good care of any extreme cold winter facial skin dryness. The product instantly absorbs into the skin, not leaving any of that horrible greasy feeing you sometimes get with other products.
The only real downside is cost. It does seem pricey at approximately £15 for 75ml. However, you dont need to apply much, and one 75ml bottle lasted me approximately 6 months. (For me, i find it effective to use a small 'penny' sized amount after each shave.)
As with all Clinique products, they are marketed as 'suitable for all skin types, and allergy tested under the supervision of dermatologists.'
No ingredients ar elisted on the bottle, and I had a tough time tracking them down. This is what I found by searching online for details, but please note that I cannot be sure of their accuracy.
"The ingredients in Clinique’s post-shave healer include: water (aqua purificata) purified, aloe vera (aloe barbadensis) gel, alcohol denat, witch hazel (hamamelis virginiana), almond (prunus dulcis) meal extract, althea (althea officinalis) extract, cyclomethicone, dioctyl malate, c12-15 alkyl Benzoate, oleate, phospholipids, bisabolol, panthenol, tocopheryl acetate, retinyl palmitate, aloe (aloe barbadensis), acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, tea-carbomer, myreth-3 Myristate, isocetyl stearate, butylene glycol, trisodium edta, and methylparaben."
I definately recommend giving this one a go.
