I was interested in trying this aftershave. I remember liking the scent of Dynamic Pulse deodorant, body wash, etc., and I heard that this aftershave had menthol, witch hazel, and other skin goodies in it. When I got to the store to pick it up, the ingredients were a litany of solvents and other additives among some alcohol and allantoin. Has this product undergone reforumlation recently? If so, does anyone know of any trusted sources where I could find the aftershave that contains menthol, witch hazel, etc.? Thanks in advance!

SPEICK! Love that AS. (no menthol, though)
Proraso! Love it, too. (has parabens, if I recall correctly)
Otherwise, there's some all natural stuff at health food places.

I've smelled all the flavors and they're not bad. Haven't worn any, so I don't know how it dries down, and I don't how well it tends to the skin, but the prices are excellent and the ingredient list is nice.

I like the Dynamic Pulse. The last few bottles I have picked up (I normally keep one in stock) list witchhazel in it's proper name, and menthol, but neither are first on the list.

Hey Walt,
I think my post was a bit convoluted. What I meant was that I want the Dynamic Pulse aftershave that contains menthol, allantoin, witch hazel etc.; unfortunately, the A/S I found locally does not have these ingredients.
Speick and Proraso are 1 and 2 in my aftershave den right now. I have them to thank for my current ASAD

Hi Ray,
Where and when did you get it? I checked Rite-Aid, CVS, and some other stores to no avail. I really like the scent of the Dynamic Pulse, but want to get the more "skin friendly" version, if it's still out there.

does this smell anything like the cologne? i hated the cologne. it smelled cheap and synthetic.
The last couple of times I bought it, I had to go to either Food Lion or Kroger, so it's possible they have old stock.

Yep! My bad, I misread 'THE' as 'AN'.
I've seen DP at Walmart, if that helps.
The "newer" bottles have more ingredients listed. I personally think it's the "real" names of the chemicals instead of names like "Witch Hazel" and "Menthol" that we're used to seeing. I could be wrong though as I haven't researched this yet, just my opinion.

You may be right about the ingredients . . . but none of us will ever know because (unlike other AS companies) It is impossible to call Adidas and talk to anyone who knows anything about their after shave products. I tried for a half an hour once and got routed all over the country talking to people who knew about sneakers, and athletic gear but no one knew a thing about their AS line.
For the life of me I don't know why people think of menthol as a "skin goodie." It's probably skin-neutral, at best. Some skin experts actually think menthol is more of an irritant than anything else.
Skin goodies to me would include: witchhazel, glycerin, aloe vera, allantoin, etc.

No question it's an irritant in anything more than very small doses.
But in moderation it's definitely a skin feel-goodie, for those who like it a little brisk.
Yeah, it FEELS good. But that's not how I would define a "skin goodie," which I think of as a substance that's GOOD FOR the skin. Menthol, sadly, is not.
