TheBard says "A Very Refreshing Menthol Smell, But Still Some Ash" about Nivea for Men Cool Body Wash with Menthol

TheBard — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 01:00:15 GMT

Because of my dry skin, brought on in part by my diabetes my wife recently suggested that I try liquid gel soap because it is not as harsh on the skin as bar soap, even those infused with lotion and such. So I took her advice and purchased Irish Spring Body Wash with Aloe. But, I also purchased Nivea For Men Cool Body Wash as well, and I have to say I like it.

Not only does Nivea For Men Cool Body Wash-made with icy menthol-smell good and lather up richly, but it also washes away cleanly leaving my skin looking natural and feeling clean and smooth. However, although the marketing literature claims the soap contains "HydroBeads that instantly dissolve on your skin as you shower" thus helping your skin retain your skins natural moisture, there is a noticeable dryness on my skin after use.

Is it refreshing and invigorating? Not really, but then again I do not look for that sort of stimulation in my body wash I just want it to clean and perhaps moisturize a tad. I will keep...

jennijones71 says "I just love the fresh and clean smell" about Old Spice 3x body soap

jennijones71 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 17:14:12 GMT

High Endurance 3x clean body wash by Old spice is a great product.

I know it is a body wash that was intended for men but hey if it is good enough for him it is good enough for me!

I think the main reason I like it is because it does not have that flowery, perfumy,girly smell. I mean yes I am a female but I like certain types of smells! When I use a body wash I want to feel CLEAN, I use perfume after I am dressed. It just has a bold clean smell that just kinda makes me smile, while I am using it. It lathers very well on my loofa and stays well lathered until I am done washing my body. It rinses clean from my loofa and from my body. My body seems to feel non sticky or slimmy when I rinse nor does it feel dry or scaley. Old Spice High Endurance 3x clean body wash has that kind of aroma that wakes me up and makes me feel more energized than other body soaps. I do not feel like I NEED to apply any lotion after I use it. And I feel clean all day.

scarywoodwitch says "New Davinci Men's Clear Pore Strips!" about Davinci Clear Pore Strips Davinci Clear Pore Strips

scarywoodwitch — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:26:29 GMT

I bought these men's clear pores trips for my son. I figured he would like them. He not only liked them, but he loved them! They have this weird black masque substance on them as opposed to the lady's white pore strips. It dries and because the surface is black you can see every single shred of dry skin and sebum that comes out on the surface, disgusting, but oh so fun to look at, plus, get this, they were $2.99 for a five pack. I am in love. Although they are meant for a guy to use, I used them, I am going to stock up, good option, good stocking stuffer for those of you who celebrate Christmas.

gitbean says "Just the boost my face needs!" about Kiehl's Facial Fuel Energizing Scrub

gitbean — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 02:19:54 GMT

Price:

3.4 fl. oz. Tube $16.50

Key Ingrdeients:

Apricot Kernel Oil Apricot Kernel Oil is extracted from apricot kernels and has a very high Vitamin E content (aiding fast absorption) and is a trygliceride composed of 75% oleic acid and 20% linoleic acid, and unsaturated fatty acids esterfied with glycerin - similar to avocado oil and sesame oil. Found to be highly compatible with the skin. Apricot Kernel Oil moisturizes and softens skin while helping retain clarity and suppleness.

Caffeine Caffeine is an odorless, slightly bitter alkaloid found in coffee, tea, kola nuts, ilex plants, and in small amounts, in cocoa beans. When used in skincare products, it has been shown to help reduce the appearance of puffiness.

gitbean says "FINALLY!" about Kiehls Facial Fuel No-Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm

gitbean — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 01:52:47 GMT

Price:

0.17 oz Stick $8.50

Key Ingredients:

Shea Butter Shea Butter is the natural fat obtained from the fruit of the African Karate tree and is widely used in lotions and cleansing products for its hydrating properties. Protects skin from dehydration, restores skin's suppleness and improves the appearance of dry skin.

I like using lip balm (and need to in some cases) but hate that greasy, shiny look that most have. After digging in the Kiehl's line for men I have found the answer in effective lip care. This is a balm for all year around from the heat of the summer to the harsh of the winter. What is most pleasing is that it last's long without ever causing a mess. In some cases you get what you pay for and in this case you can walk away...with a happy smile!

spacebarshift says "Wash That Tan Right Out of Your Hair" about Old Spice Deck Scrubber

spacebarshift — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 08:26:29 GMT

Bough at Wal-Mart for my birthday. Used it today for the first time ever. Hangs in the shower. Always attached to a plastic, silver piece to resemble a swabbie's most-needed instrument for ship cleaning and scouring. The Old Spice Deck Scrubber is like a scouring pad for your skin. You can use any brand of body wash that you want. I happen to buy several other Old Spice products. Most are from the brand new Swagger line. I actually bought the items to make video entries for the company's website to win cash. They expire this Thursday and I haven't made a single entry yet. It's not like I have a lot of people to compete against to begin with. Anyway, It makes a great gift for the man in your life. You don't have to wait for Father's Day or an anniversary to make the moment memorable. He'll always admire the fact that it's masculine enough to feel fresh and smell attractive. Isn't that what all men are asking for without really saying it?

kholik says "Love this Product - It is great." about Clinique Facial Bar Soap with Dish

kholik — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 03:26:36 GMT

I love Clinique's Soap in the dish. It is great because it is a wonderful product and the dish allows you to take it on the go or take it with you when you are away from home. It really suds up wonderfully. I wouldn't use just any ordinary soap on my face because I have sensitive skin and it is oily with some dry spots. It also cleans the makeup and debris off of my face exceptionally well. It works wonderfully with the makeup removers that clinique offers. The soap does not dry your skin out like most facial soaps do. It cleans well gently. And I just love the dish. It keeps everything nice and neat and clean. No messes to clean up after you use it. You just place it back on the dish and close it up. I wouldn't use any other brand of facial soap. And it is work every penny it costs. Actually this soap goes a really long way. It last me a long time. So, when you think about it; it is a very reasonably priced item.

harrym63 says "This product is amazingly metrosexual" about Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Honey Drops Body Cream

harrym63 — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 20:06:01 GMT

There is no other body cream that is as good as the Green Tea Honey Drops from Elizabeth Arden... It was recommended by the MSN site but I was skeptical... then I went ahead and bought it and the best decision I have done for my skin... This product not only keeps my skin soft, smooth, tender, shiny and silky but it makes me smell so good constantly that it has boosted my self-esteem to a new level resulting in an exponential rise in my A-game... I apply this cream on my entire body couple times a week and it has changed the texture of my skin tremendously... I highly recommend this product to people who have rough skin and there is nothing that could go wrong and lots of things that will go right... Green tea and honey is good for intake but I am telling you, this body cream on your skin is even better... Women constantly complement me about my skin, which makes me blush but I turnaround and give all the credit to Elizabeth Arden and their amazing product... Just wearing it on my body...

alicat8 says "Works great on oily skin!" about Clinique Facial Bar Soap with Dish

alicat8 — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 02:55:35 GMT

I like this soap because I have oily skin and it is very drying. This is one of my very favorite facial soaps! It's a bit expensive so I buy it during free gift days. I feel better about spending that kind of money on soap when I get free gifts to give away to my friends :-)...

Aladdin says "Men can de-age their skin too!" about Clinique Skin Supplies M Lotion For Men 3.4 oz.Tube

Aladdin — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 21:50:05 GMT

Did you think skin care was only for women? Not true!!! Clinique offers a complete skincare collection just for men! Quick to use, and best of all makes shaving with a blade a total breeze! I have worked for Clinique and still use it after 15 years. I am 48 years old and frequently accused of looking around 32 or 33 (ha ha). It works. Its not pricey either. Go to a counter nearest you, all you guys out there! Clinique can be found at Macy's, Nordstrom among other department stores and they have a great website that you can order directly from. You can start your skincare regimen for under $50.00 (make sure to get the mens facial scrub! eliminates ingrown whiskers, clogged pores and prepares skin for a close, super comfortable shave)...

Saxguy says "decent moisturizer and after shave" about Equaline Clear Aloe Vera Moisturizing Gel

Saxguy — Mon, 26 May 2008 14:26:57 GMT

Equaline is the house brand of the Super-Valu grocery chain. In the Chicago area, their stores are branded jewel.

I had started using this years ago when Banana Boat discontinus their version of this. Most after shaves are far too irritating to my skin, which still needs sooting after shaving. Plus, with the harsh Chicago winters, moisturizing is essential. Also, my neck skin is sensitive to shaving and cosmetings and will get inflamed easily if I am not careful.

This product has Aloe Juice as the main therapeutic ingredient. Other ingredients include Purified water, SD Alcohol, Glycerin Polysorbate 40, Carbomer, Triethanolamine, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Benzylphenone-4.

The bottle makes it clear that the ingredients are comparable to the similar Banana Boat product, but it not manufactured or distributed by Banana Boat.

I have used this after shaving and also before leaving for work in the morning. It's more of agel than a lotion and thick. This is what I need, particularly......

RudiXeno says "Old Spice Shave Gel: Dad would approve" about Old Spice High Endurance Ultra Protection Shave Gel

RudiXeno — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 01:01:12 GMT

About a week ago, while showering I reached out to get my shave cream can and when I pressed the button, a little bit managed to dribble out of the spout and then nothing! I have to admit this didn't take me by complete surprise. I mean, I could feel the can getting lighter. I knew the end was near. I just never think that the end is going to be today. So I lathered up with soap and got through the shave. Shave cream goes on the list.

Later, at Publix, I walk down the skin-care aisle and pick up some Gillette Fusion Gel. Since I use their razor, why not use their gel. Truth is, this is all new to me. As far as I'm concerned one gel has always been just as good as the other. And at that moment, that idea popped back into my head. My eyes searched for the Edge or with any luck the Barbasol Gel. When I was ready to grab the Barbasol ($2.59 for 7ozs), I spotted the Old Spice High Endurance Ultra Protection Shave Gel.

Was it that it boasted it was 3X Complete that convinced me to......

eyespy says "Lasts for years because I can't use in winter" about Clinique Facial Bar Soap with Dish

eyespy — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 21:18:38 GMT

I really don't have much trouble with dryness on my face, unless I use this soap regularly in the winter. It was shocking just how much difference I noticed in my skin when I stopped using this soap and used a cleansing cream instead. All the redness and tight dry areas went away within 2 days of stopping to use it.

It's fine for the summertime, but when the heat is going in colder weather I just have to set it aside for the season.

TazzieT says "It's convenient but not my favorite" about Clinique Facial Bar Soap with Dish

TazzieT — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 19:53:47 GMT

I have used this several times and although the carrying case does make it convenient when traveling, I found the bar drys out my face more than other facial cleansers.

I always use a moisturizer in my cleaning routine, but with other products, in a pinch I could do without a moisturizer if needed. I can't do that with this bar, it leaves my face slightly tight and tingly. Clinque is known for it fragrance free items, but as we all know, there are very few things that are rarely fragrance free. This bar has a slightly medicinal smell but not so bad that you can't use it.

I would use this for travel purposes but will stick with my Olay Regenerist products for everyday use.

Bryan-Carey says "A Body Wash Made with Men in Mind" about Dial Hydrating Body Wash Full Force 18 fl oz For Men

Bryan-Carey — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 00:43:34 GMT

Body washes are a product I have reluctantly accepted as a cleaner alternative to traditional soap. I'm an open minded person and I'm not necessarily a creature of habit who insists on using his bar of soap. My greatest problem with body wash is the scent. Most of them are either neutral or they have a distinctly feminine smell. But fortunately, there are some body wash products made with men in mind that offer a more masculine aroma. One of them is Dial for Men Hydrating Body Wash, a cleansing product for bath or shower.

Body Wash Commentary:

As mentioned before, I have never been a huge fan of body washes because of the feminine scent that almost all of them have. It isn't surprising that companies make body wash in this manner. The female market is, after all, the largest buyer of body wash products so it makes perfect sense to follow the money and manufacturer products that women like best. But even though the male market is smaller there is still a need for body wash that caters...

hannasdad says "I'm a changed man thanks to Clinique's Soap" about Clinique Facial Bar Soap with Dish

hannasdad — Sat, 19 May 2007 02:14:05 GMT

For Father's Day last year my wife bought me three items by Clinique. I have never been a person to care about the softness of my face but I'm a changed man. I love this stuff.

Jo reviewed my M Lotion which I liked so much I bought it online at www.clinque.com when I ran out.

The Bar Soap will last me forever. It comes in a plastic dish with a top to it so it's easy to travel with. It lathers really nicely. It leaves my face feeling clean and fresh. I use the M Lotion as a moisturizer but my face doesn't feel dry after washing like it had for the past umpteen years.

I won't use products that have a fragrance to them. The Bar Soap doesn't.

It costs $11.50.

Jo says "M Lotion by Clinique helps my man." about Clinique Skin Supplies M Lotion For Men 3.4 oz.Tube

Jo — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 12:49:13 GMT

For Father’s Day a year ago I bought my husband three Clinique products. This is a man who seemed never to care about his skin. He loved the products especially the M Lotion. I was shocked when he went online the other day and ordered another tube. At $19.00 for 3.4 ounces this is a lot of money for him to spend on himself. The fact he did says how much he loves it and he rationalized the purchase by how long it lasted!

M Lotion is said to relieve skin dryness, to soothe the skin and to provide moisture. Although he has a beard he shaves around it and he shaves his neck, M Lotion is supposed to help ease shaving irritation and keep skin in good working condition. It is good for men of all skin types.It is allergy tested and on the tube it says it is 100% fragrance free.

The lotion comes in an easy to use flip top tube.

Jo's thoughts
It is totally non greasy. I just put some on my hands and went right back to typing. Hubby dislikes anything with an odor. I can say that M...
