It is exactly what it's supposed to be, an after shave balm. To the reviewers complaining about it not being scented, that's not what aftershave balms are made for! Aftershave lotions are there for that. This is a quality skin soothing Nivea product. It is slightly cooling and decreases redness. There is only a slight scent, which is prefect. If you are a Nivea fan already, go for it. Decent pricing too.
