I have not used the replenishing balm, but I do use the sensitive. Looking at the ingredients on both, the sensitive just seems to have the better ingredient profile. At first I was hesitant and did not believe the hype because I don't usually purchase inexpensive commercial skin products, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I actually started using the Nivea Sensitive as my daily moisturizer. I use it all over my face whether I shave or not. It is light, pleasant and my skin seems to look and feel better since I started using it.
