Review of A’kin PureMan Calming After Shave Balm

By Kelly B

Packaging: A’kin PureMan Calming After Shave Balm comes in dark brown recyclable sturdy plastic bottle. It is cylindrical so very convenient and ergonomic to hold. It is pump action which further enhances convenience along with protecting the natural product inside from air and germs.

The colour and design look masculine and expensive and the product looks stylish in the bathroom.

Application: I gave A’kin PureMan Calming After Shave Balm to my boyfriend to trial. He has a skin head so he shaves both his head and face daily which means they can sometimes feel a little sensitive – a perfect candidate for this natural calming balm.

The texture of A’kin PureMan Calming After Shave Balm is a very fluid consistency so it is best to rub between the hands then pat onto the areas that have been shaved. A little goes a very long way. Only a very small amount is needed as it spreads so far. Care is needed when dispensing the product as one full pump of the dispenser is too much. It is best to tilt the bottle to a 45 degree angle and depress slowly to control the amount of product dispensed.

This natural balm soaked in immediately and effortlessly with no greasiness whatsoever. The skin looked glowing and perfectly hydrated. My boyfriend said his skin felt moisturized and not at all tight. He felt there was no need for any separate moisturizer. He has never before used an aftershave balm that did not sting his skin but A’kin PureMan Calming After Shave Balm did not sting at all. It was so soothing and gentle and healed any little nicks.

The scent of A’kin PureMan Calming After Shave Balm is a masculine clean fresh musky aftershave smell. I can clearly smell clove oil and undertones of citrus. I loved the smell and could still smell it on my boyfriend on the evening (after a morning application). If you are not one for strong aftershave but want to smell clean fresh and masculine this would be ideal.

I felt it made my boyfriend’s scalp and face look glowing and dewy. Most importantly he said the application was really gentle and his skin felt soothed, smooth and hydrated.

Ingredients: A’kin PureMan Calming After Shave Balm importantly does not contain drying alcohol which is why it is so gentle on the skin and does not sting. This product is 100% natural and chemical preservative free which is really reassuring especially when applying to exposed freshly shaved skin. The second ingredient is Aloe Barbadensis leaf juice which is known to be a powerful moisturizer, anti-inflammatory, soothing, calming, healing and anti-aging. It also contains Panthenol (pro vitamin B5) which is another known skin soother. Squalane (from olives) for further moisture and anti-aging benefits. The powerful anti-oxidant White tea leaf and Panax Ginseng root extract which refreshes, stimulates and energises the skin. Further invigoration is provided by the orange and mandarin peel oils. Whilst ginger root and clove oil, stimulate, warm and enliven the skin, boosting circulation and adding to the healing effect.All ingredients in A’kin PureMan Calming After Shave Balm are 100% plant derived, vegan and cruelty free, the same as with all A’kin Bodycare Products.Due to the gentle soothing ingredients contained in A’kin PureMan Calming After Shave Balm I feel it would be ideal for men with sensitive skin and also young boys who are just starting to shave.

Results: My boyfriend is very pleased with A’kin Calming After Shave Balm he says it is the best after shave balm he has ever used. He is very low maintenance and he loves the fact that he doesn’t need a separate moisturizer. It is just shave, apply and go (very rapid drying, almost immediate). My boyfriend noticed that little nicks seemed to heal very quickly. He didn’t experience any dry skin on his face or scalp whilst using A’kin PureMan Calming After Shave Balm. His skin felt soothed, calmed and perfectly hydrated. I thought it looked really healthy and glowing. It gives such a nice finish, it totally moisturizes but with no grease at all. It looks like no product is present on the skin just hydrated healthy glowing skin. I thought the smell was divine too (and the natural scent lasted hours.)It is about time for a company to make such a soothing aftershave product for men rather than the other harsh stinging post shaving products they have become used to. Full marks to A’kin, I highly recommend their PureMan Calming After Shave Balm, a product with luxuriously soothing ingredients to pamper the male in your life!!
