Ok guys, Proraso is a very renowned product worldwide. Prior to tonight, I had only used the old formula of Proraso. I had disastrous results with it. Something in it made my face break out. I hope the new stuff is kinder on my face. If it's not, then I must be allergic to Eucalyptus. Well, here's the breakdown. Price: 9/10. This cost me $10 from Bull Goose. It's actually my dad's but he let me try it. Quality: 10/10. There is a reason why Proraso is so loved. Scent: 8/10. It's pretty green, smells like Menthol with hints of Eucalyptus. Latherability: 10/10. This stuff lathers instantaneously. Efficacy: 9/10. I had real slick, cushiony, COLD lather. Moisturizing Properties: 9/10. My face feels pretty refreshed and hydrated; we'll find out if this cream is for me. Packaging: 10/10. It's a simple tube with green on it and it comes in a box, perfect. Would I Buy This Again: Most likely. Guys, this is a pretty cold cream. It's not the coldest thing known to man, but you will know it's there. If you are wanting to get into menthol, this or the Proraso White is a very good place to start. It's mainstream only because it's a solid performer. I still like my Palmolive Menthol more, but this did alright.
Well I gave Proraso Green a fair shot, but it's not for me. My face is still breaking out in certain spots, so I might be allergic to eucalyptus.
This is my go to shave cream. I love the stuff. But all I have to compare it to is Williams Mug Soap (which I don't mind at all) and Barbasol Aloe Goo.
I had such a reaction to Proraso that I had to go to the hospital. It must be the eucalyptus because I'm not allergic to menthol. I stay away from all of their products now.
It's alright gents, I still have my Proraso White, Palmolive Menthol, and I'm sure I'll find another menthol cream/soap of my liking. The breakouts will end in a couple days, I think I'll use my Mike's Barbershop and avoid Proraso green like the plague.
Lately, I've been trying to use up my Proraso green tub I got a while ago when the new formula came out. I love the feeling and the scent, especially the splash. Now I realize my face breaks out quite a lot when I use it all. I want to narrow it down to the soap and pre-shave if possible because I love the splash so badly I would be very sad if that was a cause factor as well. It might be the Eucalyptus I am reacting to but I can't be sure. It doesn't seem to be the menthol as I have other mentholated products that do not cause this. I've read other people complain of similar issues. Did anyone with this problem ever found out what it was?
I noticed that the new formula of Proraso Green cream seems to have a slightly different scent than the older one. It seems fresher.
unfortunately I had the same response to it. I loved it for about a week, then I realized it was the cause redness and break outs in spots. I have had a clear face all my life until this. It is a fantastic soap if your skin gets along with it and I highly recommend it. I think I need to buy prorasso white just so I can still use one of their products.
It is really interesting that many have a bad reaction to proraso green. I have pretty sensitive skin, and have to be really careful what I use on my face. I was nervous about using proraso soap, but it hasn't given me any problems. I still want to try the proraso sensitive. I would also like to try out the old formula proraso green soap
Picked up the C.O. Bigelow from Bath & Body Works this weekend and used today for the first time. Love the menthol feel!
Reading these posts about Proraso irritating skin make me thank my lucky stars I've never had a product do this to me! I'm not sure I could make it without my Proraso!
I'm looking at breakouts from a different angle....negate the variables. Is your prep the same, clean sharp blade, no leftover mung on the blade, you've alcoholed the razor after use, you've let one product DRY before applying the final,balm....
