Thread: Low scent, hydrating, & calming aftershave balm or lotion?

I've been working through some products as well. I was using Gillette's Sensitive gel, but the scent irritated my sinuses. Plus it was making the area around my mouth red and raw for some reason. I tried an alcohol splash (cvs brand) but it was way too harsh and smelled awful. Another headache. Right now I'm using CVS's Nivea lookalike, sensitive skin version, and it is fantastic. No significant smell, dries nicely and feels good.

+1 on the Nivea as others have posted. It's really good.

+1 to Nivea it's my default setting for balm. Occassionally I'll use straight aloe vera gel (for the hippy touch) or Corn Huskers Lotion (when I really want to go old school) but Nivea tops both.

Been using the Nivea for about a month now on 1OldGI's recommendation. Great stuff!

I highly recommend Kiehls "Ultimate After Shave Balm." I recently switched from AoS. the product is thicker, has a neutral/non-existent scent and my face feels nice and soft after application. Their new "Facial Fuel" is no where near as good. Happy shopping!

I tried Nivea and it's a fine product but even the unscented has a lot of scent which I found unpleasant. I replaced it with Lubriderm 3 in 1 which I vastly prefer. Corn Huskers is the poor man's Trumper skin food with a soapy, lemony scent. You can add a little of your favorite cologne and change it. It's a pretty darn good aftershave balm IMO but it is not unscented.

Rosewater and glycerin is nice and old school or you can try Lily of the Desert aloe vera 99% gel which is very healing but a bit bizarre and slimy going on.
