Has anyone used this aftershave balm? It doesn't contain alcohol so it works for my dry skin. Aloe vera, green tea and oat sound good. If someone can post the entire ingredients list I would appreciate that.

i have t-zone skin. dry in the cheeks. I use aftershave with alcohol. Just remember to follow up with a quality moisturizer and you should be ok. alcohol closes the pores. or witch hazel.

Here is a quick snap of the ingredients from the back of the box.



I just received mine last week and so far I am really enjoying it.

It feels great on my skin post shave. The scent is the same as

the new white tub soap.

I was looking at the same ASB and wondering what people thought of the smell and performance. I'll be watching for more reviews. Thanks xillion

so this ASB has no cooling sensation, I gather from the lack of menthol in the ingredients?

The old white green tea and aloe soft soap has menthol, does the new white soft soap?

Here are the ingredients of Proraso White tub soap.

Man, an awful lot of ingredients in there with very long scary chemical sounding names. You would think a sensitive skin soap would go easier on that stuff... I know and love the Proraso products but I wish their ingredients were a bit more natural.

A lot of things that don't sound natural, actually are though.

You know, there is truth to that. I guess Google can be useful for doing the research if one is so inclined.

Yes and yes. No menthol in the balm, menthol in the new white soap.

I have this balm. The scent is very similar to the white tub, but I feel it doesn't smell as fresh as the soap does. I don't know why it feels that way. It performs well, but it makes my skin greasy, at least during summer.

I reviewed this here:

I still think It's a very good balm, but after five months of frequent use I happen to find its ingredients rather inappropriate for sensitive skin. I still like the fragrance and its performance, and most of the new Proraso offerings (creams, soaps, new Proraso red) are absolutely fantastic and a big step forward, but looking back I realize the old liquid cream aftershave was actually - well, better. I wish they'd reintroduce it.
