The Impact of Scent and Ingredients on Sensitive Skin Shaving Products

I recently tried a new shaving gel from Gillette, which is marketed towards individuals with ultra-sensitive skin. However, despite its target audience, I found that the product contained peppermint oil, which gave me an almost burning sensation during use. This experience has led me to wonder about the role of fragrance and specific ingredients in products designed for sensitive skin. Shouldn't these products minimize potential irritants? How do others with sensitive skin navigate finding suitable shaving products, and what ingredients do you specifically look for or avoid? Additionally, has anyone else found that certain 'sensitive' labeled products still cause discomfort, and how do you identify a truly skin-friendly shaving product?

I've had a similar experience. It's frustrating; fragrance-free products are crucial for sensitive skin.

Has anyone with sensitive skin found a go-to shaving product that avoids these issues?

Surprised peppermint made it into 'sensitive' shave gel. Anyone else?

Totally agree, 'sensitive' should really mean gentle!

I avoid peppermint in sensitive skin products too; it can sting!

Always a quest to find the truly 'gentle' product.

Oh no, that sounds like an unpleasant experience! I aim for fragrance-free with aloe and vitamin E for a soothing shave. Have you tried that route? It could be worth a shot!

Oh no! That sounds like a minty disaster! I look for fragrance-free options for my sensitive skin. Have you tried a gel with aloe vera? It's been a game-changer for me.
