Your Close Comfort Shave Gel and Skin Relief Treatment are the best shaving products on the market. I've tried Aveda (very good results with the aftershave, but not perfect), Spieck (very good shaving stick, but not perfect), Neutrogena for Men (good shave cream), Aramis (horrible), Clinique (horrible), Zirh (good aftershave product that has since been reformulated) and NONE of these produce the results that yours do. Perfect shave without any irritation, and the Skin Relief Treatment is simply the best feeling product on my face that I've ever used. No more irritation shaving or post-shave.

Your Skin Relief Treatment is soooooo great! I wish you sold it by the gallon.

Absolutely LOVE the Skin Relief Treatment. It is the ONLY product I've ever found that eliminates those red, itchy "bumps" on my legs after shaving. For the past 25 years, I've used all the hair removal creams, all the shaving gels and foams, and numerous lotions for after shaving. It was at the point where I didn't even want to shave my legs because of the itchy, sore bumps afterwards. What a genius product!

I recently purchased the Skin Relief Treatment. I absolutely love it! I have very fair skin and suffer from redness at the least little sign of stress. If I pluck my eyebrows, that area stays red for a long time. Using this product, the redness is gone within 10 minutes! Also, I have some minor acne. If I decide to eradicate it, my skin stays very red, sometimes all day. Now, I just use this product and it eliminates the redness very quickly. I have tried all kinds of products that promise to take redness out, and this is the best I've ever tried. It lives up to its promises at a great price!!!

I absolutely LOVE Paula's Choice! My mom got me hooked on the products this past year after I started to break out. I loved the products so much that I bought them for my boyfriend who was having skin troubles as well. Now he can't get enough of the products, and his roommate at school is constantly asking to borrow his cleanser and Skin Relief Treatment. Thanks Paula! You're the best!

Skin Relief Treatment
I adore this for skin irritation, whether it's for sunburn or from Retin A exposure. It is also a superlative hydrator for aging skin.
—Teri Husbands

Itch relief without the grease
This stuff is wonderful! Not only does it soothe the occasional case of razor burn, it also works great on mosquito bites and hives. Skin Relief kills the itch without the greasiness of ointments. Keep up the good work, Paula!
—Lindsay

Great product
I got this product for my husband to use as aftershave, and it works much better than regular alcohol based aftershave. I also use it myself after extractions, and it takes away the redness within minutes, much faster than any expensive mask I've ever used! Great product!
—Yana

Best After Shave Product
I get really bad razor burn especially during the summer when you're shaving your legs and underarms often. I used to put whitc hazel after shaving and that just burned! This actually soothes and moisturizes after shaving. I love it and I use it every day!
—Ashley

Fantastic Redness Relief!
This is great for reducing redness, and those annoying little red bumps on my face. After 3 applications, they're gone! Won't be without this product.

skin relief treatment
What an amazing product!! I have been using Paula's Choice products for 10 or 11 years and love the results. This particular product cleared up the burning, red, dry, itchy, and flaky skin on my bottom eye lids due from allergies. I also had those type of patches on my face which was also only cleared up by the skin relief treatment. I can never be without this product. It's amazing!!!
—Maria

Great post laser treatment
I used to get terrible ingrown hairs after laser hair removal. I use Skin Relief 2x a day after laser treatments and the irritation is greatly reduced. Love this product!
—yvonne

skin relief treatment
This is a great product. I use it before & after hair removal procedures(shaving & creams) & I have no irritation at all, whereas before I would.

Works great as a toner
I use this product every morning, but not at night. The reduction in inflammation I've see with this product are noticeable. It gives my skin a slight sheen with comfortable slick feel, which I top with skin relief antioxidant serum, skin recovery cream, and hydrating mask (used as a cream). At night, I'll use benzoyl peroxide. At 37, my skin is one of my best features. I credit finding Paula in my very early 20's and teaching me how to care for my thin, pale, dry skin.
—Rachel

Wonderful for Rosacea
I use this each time I have a flare up and by morning my skin is calm! Also perfect after peels! Got my Doc hooked on this-- uses it after he shaves!
—Kathryn Thomas

Best Aftershave Ever!
I have sensitive skin and am prone to break outs on my neck after shaving. I have probably tried every aftershave, liquid, gel, cream, and lotion available, and none works like Paula's Skin relief. It soothes my skin quickly and nearly elimnates break outs. I won't shave without it.
—Ken

AWESOME
My husband always has ingrown hairs or breaks out after shaving....this gave him the smoothest skin ever! Thank you.
—Sarah

Just Amazing
I wish I could give the skin relief treatment more than 5 stars! It has saved my post-shave legs from irritation and allowed me to wear shorts all summer long.
—Katie

The first skin lotion that has actually treated m
I used to use Linda Sy's products, which worked only for prevention at best (plus they're $$). The first time I put this lotion on, my inflamed skin stopped itching and stinging! I couldn't believe it. I've been looking for something like this for years. Just something to put on when my face is angry red and inflamed and flaking. It works beautifully. Just from using the samples for a couple of days, my skin completely cleared for the first time since I developed rosacea.
—Jen

Skin Relief
I always use this after my chemical peels. Soothes my skin. I'm very pleased with this product.
—bethany brown-myrda

ho-hum
If you can believe it, I actually bought this product again even after it didn't perform so well the first time because it sounds so good, and seems to work for everyone else! I bought it hoping that I could soothe red away from acne breakouts, but it only seems to make them redder, and definitely leaves behind a weird film that makes me look very oily and feels pretty oily too. However, it may work great for other redness purposes, or other individuals! Smells fine too.

Completely soothing
Absolutely great aftershave. It makes my smooth shaves stay smooth and helps minimize shaving bumps on my neck. Highly recommended. Sometimes I just use it as a calming toner. A definite must-buy.

Nice works well.

Amazing Product
I love this treatment. Gives me an amazing post-shave feeling. I use to use a nasty alcohol based aftershave and my skin looked dull. This stuff gives me smooth, soft skin.
—Neil

simply, IT WORKS!!!
so i got horribly burned by over doing my 40% lactic acid peel dosage by 4x. i know, very dumb. and my skin felt horrible. like if it were on the verge of breaking. similar to when you go to the beach with out sunblock and is really hot. and wow, i JUST applied the skin relief from one of the samples i got months ago and it really works, like on the dot. i applied it and right on the spot, BAMN! my pain was allaying. thank you so much paula! seriously, my face was burning for 3 hours until i remembered i had these samples.
—jacob

This really works!
I loooooove the Skin Relief Treatment! I use it twice daily to prevent ingrown hairs-- I used to get ingrown hairs after using an epilator and razor. This product lives up to it's name = it really is a relief to my skin. No more painful ingrown hairs!
—Grace Liang

Shame on the small packaging, price
Love the product, but the packaging is to small for every day all over body use, because it becomes to expensive.Paula Begoun please make a lager packaging available.
—anne-marie

This works
I apply this product after shaving my bikini line, and I have no red bumps or ingrown hairs afterward. I've been using it for almost a year and love it!
—Christina

FABULOUS!
This product is exceptional! I have extremely sensitive skin that is prone to reaction from anything. Trying to find products that will not cause breakouts but also will not dry my skin is very difficult for me (and possible only due to Paula's products and reviews). I use this product like a toner, and it is fantastic; my teenage daughter also loves it for occasional irritation. Please offer it in a larger size!!!
—Melissa Mahady

Works like a charm!
This product is a miracle!! It soothes and calms my skin after shaving and makes it feel balanced. What else could you ask for? It's just great.
—Larry Gordon
