OXY Post-Shave Lotion Acne-Fighting Formula: A Review

Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez
Guys---are you trying to find a way to shave your face without irritating your acne? There is a product for you! The Mentholatum Co., Inc. offers a wonderfully effective product I have used called OXY Post-Shave Lotion Acne-Fighting Formula.

I came across OXY Post-Shave Lotion only after first hearing about a complement product called OXY Facewash Acne-Fighting Formula, which is also sold by The Mentholatum Co., Inc. In fact, the two products are shelved side-by-side wherever I shop.

OXY Post-Shave Lotion is sold in a 1.7-ounce black, white, and red container with a clear snap-on cover that protects the squeeze-knob located on top of the canister.

About OXY Post-Shave Lotion Acne-Fighting Formula

OXY Post-Shave Lotion is designed to be applied to the face immediately after shaving. Best of all, it is a convenient aftershave lotion that does not feel greasy, oily, or heavy, In fact, it seems to disappear from my face only seconds after I apply it, which is a good thing. What's more, it leaves behind a clean, fresh-smelling scent.

After squeezing the creamy white lotion into the palm of my hand, I rubbing it onto the palms of my hands, I gently but quickly massage the lotion onto my face and neck just after shaving.

I have never noticed any acute sense of stinging or pain when I apply OXY Post-Shave Lotion to my face. I do, however, on a rare occasion notice a slight bit of momentary tingling over areas where my face was irritated by the electric razor.

The active ingredient in OXY Post-Shave Lotion is salicylic acid (0.5%). There is also a host of inactive ingredients including aloe barbadensis leaf extract, glycerin, isostearyl alcohol, and several other ingredients.

But Does OXY Post-Shave Lotion Acne-Fighting Formula Work?

I have been using OXY Post-Shave Lotion Acne-Fighting Formula alone and in combination with OXY Facewash Acne-Fighting Formula.

Whatever the case, I have noticed that my face seems to stay generally free from irritation and acne on the typical day that I apply OXY Post-Shave Lotion to my face. My face does tend to feel a little drier than usual on the days that I use the OXY Post-Shave Lotion, but it does not ever feel "dried-out."

Of course, as most health products go, the effects I have experienced may not be the same for you. Skin can be highly sensitive to certain topically applied products, and it is therefore wise to use caution when trying out new products on your skin. Be sure to read all product safety and warning labels before use!

Where Can I Buy OXY Post-Shave Lotion?

I have been able to find and purchase OXY Post-Shave Lotion at local grocery chains and pharmacies. The typical price for OXY Post-Shave Lotion has been between $5-7 depending upon the store.

Be sure to check out OXY Facewash Acne-Fighting Formula as well; it goes along well with OXY Post-Shave Lotion and has been very helpful in managing any facial acne I have experienced.
