How does the Aveeno compare with Nivea Shaving Gel for Sensitive Skin? It worked well for me when I tried it recently, but unfortunately included menthol, which I find to be irritating.

I've compared it to the Nivea and the Dove gel and the Dove is a close second but the Aveeno takes the cake hands down. The Nivea is comparable to the AoS cream - not slick enough for my face. Originally Posted by JeffR

That product name sounds familiar. It it available in most stored? Every time I think I've tried them all another great suggestion emerges

Sounds like you found yourself a winner.
Unfortunately, anything that contains propellant (ie- comes from a can) is bad for the skin and is off my list. Just too many other great traditional products out there.

And your basing that on what assumption? I've read the ingredient list and there is nothing that is "bad for the skin" and I draw on my education and over a decade of experience diagnosing and treating diseases of the skin. Originally Posted by Ryan82

I really liked the Aveeno lotions…in fact they were all I would use on my tattoos after I got them at the recommendation of my Artist and they worked well.
Thought I'd check out the ingredients and this is one along with multiple parabens that makes me wonder..Triethanolamine…One of the many uses is as an ingredient in tire dressing.Last edited by Catrentshaving; 11-30-2013 at 05:04 PM.

Typical pressurized can propellants are propane and butane/isobutane, which are extremely drying to skin. Most canned shaving creams now come with "additional moisturizers" to try to compensate for this fact. Originally Posted by ocelot27

I have no issue if you like Aveeno. If it works for you, great. Just not my cup of tea, that's all.
