Protect and Care Replenishing Post Shave Balm, 100 ml

I’ve battled sensitive skin for years, and shaving has always been a dreaded part of my grooming routine. Red patches, irritation, and that sore, raw feeling would stick around long after the razor was put down. I often had to plan my shaves around days I wasn’t going out — not because I wanted to, but because the aftermath was just too visible and uncomfortable to ignore. That all changed when I discovered NIVEA MEN Protect & Care Replenishing Post-Shave Balm. From the first use, I noticed a dramatic difference. This balm left my skin feeling instantly soothed, deeply moisturised, and — to my surprise — free from the usual redness and irritation. It genuinely felt like my skin was being cared for rather than punished. I only wish I’d found it sooner. What sets this balm apart is its well-thought-out formulation. It’s infused with Aloe Vera to calm, Provitamin B5 to strengthen, and Chamomile and Seaweed Extracts to soothe and replenish — all without a trace of ethyl alcohol, so there’s no unpleasant sting. The result is a refreshing, cooling sensation that rejuvenates the skin after every shave. It also scores top marks in terms of usability. The pleasant, masculine scent is subtle yet fresh, and the non-greasy formula absorbs quickly, leaving no tacky residue — just smooth, soft skin. Even the glass bottle adds a premium touch, making it feel like a high-end product, despite its very reasonable price. If, like me, you suffer from post-shave irritation, razor burn, or redness, I can’t recommend NIVEA MEN Protect & Care Replenishing Post-Shave Balm highly enough. It has completely transformed my shaving routine and given me the confidence to shave any day, no matter what’s on the calendar. Don’t wait as long as I did — give it a try. You won’t regret it.

Feels & looks great. Good quality as always with Nivea products, nice feel of the glass bottle as well and can be recycled. Absorbs very quickly and does well post-shave. Recommended instead of alternatives for better skin care, less sting, and good scent.

Smells nice, is soothing, and works really well to prevent razor bumps and irritation. The bottle is actually clear though as opposed to blue like shown in the product description but it still works the same. Only complaint is that the bottle could be bigger!

I've been using this NIVEA MEN aftershave balm for a while now, and I wouldn't change it for another. I have very sensitive skin that's prone to redness after shaving, and this product is one of the best I've found. The texture is light, absorbs quickly, and leaves the skin feeling fresh and immediately soothed. It doesn't sting at all, it's not greasy, and I really notice it helps reduce the irritation and discomfort typical of shaving, even on days when my skin is more damaged. It also has a very soft and pleasant scent, not at all invasive, which is appreciated because it doesn't compete with the perfume or cause any fatigue. The packaging is convenient, it lasts a long time, and the price-performance ratio is excellent. In my case, I use it daily and my skin feels more hydrated and protected. Highly recommended, especially if you have delicate skin or are looking for an aftershave that really does its job and leaves your face soft and smooth. I will keep buying it!

I use for after shave . Good quality for the BM price . Very easy to apply

Perfect after shaving.

Good product, at a nice price. I'm bearded and am now using a 'shavette' to 'clean' my beard lines sort of weekly. I certainly used to get lots of irritation/ razor burn particularly on my neck around the Adam's apple area in the bad old days of expensive/ poor quality/ painful cartridge razor shaves and also still (to a slightly lesser degree) when I graduated to electric shaver shaves. I anticipated such irritation with using the shavette (you're dragging a razor blade across your face right?!?) but it's much, much less in truth and as yet zero nicks either (after three shaves now). I only wish I'd tried this mode of shaving years ago really. Anyway, any post-shave irritation now is minimal like I say but any present is removed by using an alum block and then finishing with this nice, soothing balm. It has a pleasant scent too. My only (very!) minor gripe with the product is with it coming in a glass bottle. Just like with sauce; it's easier to regulate what comes out of a plastic squeezy bottle init! But it's a good product and I didn't deem that sufficient grounds to remove a star from my review but I would have preferred a squeezy bottle personally. Happy shaving!

I love this balm and it's such good value for money. It's not greasy and has no real odour to it which I prefer. Typically I shave my face and head and then rub this all over including my sensitive neck. After a minute it's been fully absorbed by my skin and I end up with nice clean, refreshed and moisturised skin.

Value for Money

Nice fragrance, but not too overpowering for my sensitive skin

Works for me - better than aftershave. No burn. cooling effect
