Ok.. let me first say I have tried many, many creams and lotions out there. I am a 40 year old fair skinned, dirty blonde haired Swede who has always had super sensitive skin (which has caused me to try so many of the creams on the market). Well I was doing some research a couple of weekends ago and read where people were recommending Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm, so I went out to the local Walgreens and got some. Honestly, I can’t knock the stuff but do think my face has a bit of a reaction to something in it. (my face puffed up right under my right eye like I had been punched or something). It’s not bad stuff and I still have the bottle and may try it out again, BUT... 2 weeks ago something made me pick up the L'Oreal Men's Expert Vita Lift Anti-Wrinkle & Firming Moisturizer. WOW! Really, try it for 3 days, I even put it on at night sometimes and tell me if after 3 days your skin does not feel and look different. The stuff is amazing and with my skin so moisturized and soft, I swear shaving is even easier. Target sells this stuff and so does drugstore.com . Well this week I was walking down the shaving isle doing my normal weekly shopping in Target and I saw they also have the L’Oreal shave balm for about $3 less and the bottle is double the size of the Vita Life Moisturizer so I said I am so thrilled with the moisturizer, let’s see if I can save a couple bucks, get double the size of the bottle and be just as happy. Sadly, the answer is no, the L'Oreal Men's Expert Vita Lift Anti-Wrinkle & Firming is soooo much better then the balm.
If you are looking for a good cream, try it, its the L'Oreal Men's Expert Vita Lift Anti-Wrinkle & Firming Moisturizer but definitely seems to soothe the shaving symptoms like a balm will. It does not leave your face shiny, icky or anything of the likes. Target sells it for 9.39 or something like that, drugstore.com I see is currently 8.79 and they just sent me a 15% off coupon so I know I am picking up about 10 bottles of this stuff to stock pile it in case they ever change the formula or discontinue it. 10 bottles will run me about $75 and will probably last well over a year or maybe even 2. And to think, I just picked up some TGR for $40+ a bottle and it is nothing even close to as good as this Loreal stuff is.
