Recommended models: Refreshing aftershave cologne, sensitive skin lotion
Gillette's reputation in the field of shaving is thunderous. As early as 1917, Gillette had sold 120 million blades, and in 1968 it sold a record 111 billion blades. Today, Gillette is still a first-class razor brand, with a market share of 90% in the United States and more than 70% in the global market.
In addition to razors, Gillette also sells ancillary products including shaving foam and aftershave at low prices. There are three types of Gillette's aftershave products, each with different textures. Among them, the refreshing aftershave cologne has the function of cologne, the fragrance is relatively strong, and there is a stinging sensation when used. It should be noted that the bottle of aftershave water has a large opening, which is easy to pour more and cause waste when poured.
The aftershave gel and sensitive skin lotion are two products that reduce the alcohol concentration and feel softer to use. The main active ingredient of aftershave gel includes D5, a type of silicone oil that lubricates the skin and improves skin feel, but cannot be absorbed by the skin. D5 is widely used, harmless to humans, but difficult to degrade, bioaccumulative in living organisms, and harmful to fish and aquatic animals.
Although the smell of the lotion for sensitive skin is not as good as that of gel, the moisturizing effect is not as good as that of gel. The addition of aluminum starch octenylsuccinate makes the texture non-sticky, and glycerin, myristyl alcohol propionate provide moisture and softening to the skin. Overall, it is a product with relatively simple ingredients and effects, no anti-inflammatory effect, and is suitable for dry and sensitive skin after shave.
At present, Gillette's razors can be purchased in supermarkets and e-commerce platforms, but after-shave products need to be purchased through overseas shopping or purchasing channels. The price of the refreshing aftershave cologne is 75 yuan, and the aftershave gel and aftershave milk are both priced at around 40 yuan.
