Aftershave without alcohol and menthol?

It seems I developed an irritating skin condition, which might be rosacea, still have to check with a doc hopefully next week.

Unfortunately, some of my usual ingredients in all my favorite aftershaves are ideally to be avoided, at least for a time to check what triggers my skin to overreact:

Alcohol & Menthol :sad:

I am looking for aftershaves and balms that contain neither. :thumbsup:
 
I didn't use any aftershave more.

For me works best warm water, cold water, alum block, cold water again and after hazel witch with aloe without alcohol (Thayers unscented).

I shave normally morning, evening I clean my face with Weleda Klärendes Waschgel, and finally apply CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. This is for this period, in winter use more moisturizing, also morning after shave if needed
 
Dickinson's Witch Hazel Hydrating Toner. I use this one along with regular aftershave, but it works pretty well by itself.

Provence Sante Green Tea aftershave. This one is soothing and has a light fragrance.

I'm very sorry about your skin, I hope you can resolve it as soon as possible
As suggested above, I recommend using a product without any added fragrance
Organic witch hazel hydrolate "alcohol-free" and an unscented balm

Zingari Man’s Recovery Splash is very nice on the skin.

Murphy and McNeil offer alcohol-free versions of their splashes.

MacDuff’s and Southern Witchcrafts are alcohol-free.

Nivea Sensitive splash.

Lucky Tiger (calendula and aloe)
 
I just got this from Pasteurs Pharmacy and really like it a lot. The scent is unique and my wife and kids have complimented it. My son asked if he could have (he’s 15 doesn’t shave YeT but likes the graphics I think).

I am going to get Lucky Tiger "Aspen", it's blue, but only a food color. 😀

I was at the dermatologist and she told me to stop googling my diagnosis and stated it's not rosacea but neurodermitis. Alcohol and menthol are unlikely reasons, a so called ***** test is yet to be made in a few days.

@mfury I am not a fan of nivea or other balms either. I like the quick drying aspect of alcoholic aftershave.

For my Lambda Athena shave I will use the rehabilitated Dorco Prime blades tonight, and follow @tomas1870 's suggestion to simply use NOTHING, no aftershave.

The Tiger stuff will likely arrive before the next shave, though. 👍
