I recently tried the Reuzel Aftershave, drawn in by the alluring description of its scent. True to its word, the fragrance is indeed pleasant, offering a refreshing and invigorating olfactory experience. It's a scent that makes a statement without being overpowering, subtly fading away after application, which I found quite sophisticated.
However, my experience with the aftershave was mixed, largely due to its alcohol content. Like many traditional aftershaves, it contains a high percentage of alcohol. Theoretically, this ingredient is beneficial for its antiseptic properties, helping to seal any nicks or cuts post-shave. Yet, there's a downside. The alcohol can be quite drying to the skin. This wasn't just a minor inconvenience; I noticed a significant drying effect, which could be problematic for those with already dry or sensitive skin. It's a critical point to consider, as the drying nature could exacerbate skin problems or lead to discomfort.
For individuals with oily skin, this aftershave might actually be beneficial. The alcohol can help in controlling excess oil, making it a potentially good fit. But for anyone with dry or sensitive skin, or those prone to post-shave irritation, caution is advised. The drying effect of the alcohol could counteract the benefits of using an aftershave, leading to more skin issues than resolutions.
