This stuff is amazing...I've been using it for only 4 days, but...let me back up a bit:
I've had an ongoing problem with my lower neck area (right where my beard ends), with a seemingly never ending series of pimples and ingrown hairs popping up. I've always had a bit of irritation in that area, to the point where when I was still shaving with a cartridge, I was only shaving once a week, but at least was generally okay. At one point I tried out an electric razor so I could shave more often, which exacerbated the problem, and since then it's been really bad.
I switched up to DE shaving, but the problem has continued, albeit a lessened a bit. I've ordered some Captain's Choice Lime Aftershave in the hopes that the alcohol and organic ingredients would help me out...while I was waiting for it to arrive (due next week), I stopped by the local organic grocery and picked up a bottle of the Weleda (at a steep price - $28!!, but I've been getting more desperate) AS Balm.
I really wanted to see what it felt like on my face, so after washing up that night, I put some on. Decent smell. Nice feel.
Next morning, I noticed that my neck area was looking improved...hmm. After my shave, more Weleda goes on...by noon, there was a very noticeable improvement - I had an ingrown that was disappearing, some red marks that were fading, and a bit of razor burn that literally had vanished. That evening, again the Weleda went on, and next morning my neck was looking terrific. Feeling great too.
I don't know what the ingredient is in this stuff that is making the big difference, but wow! I wonder what I'm going to do with the CC's Lime that's coming next week. I want to try it, but I'm afraid to wreck the momentum that I've got going here.
