Im not a shaver. I was converted to being a depilatory girl years ago. My shaving exploits are always horrible--the razor bumps, the nicks and dryness....not my cup of tea. And one day I was crazy short on moola, so i tried this. I LOVE LOVE it. I haven't experienced the razor bumps, I was able to shave close and was major soft afterward.
I tried both the dry and wet shaving experience. The dry experience if most def a bit annoying, as the stuff piles in the razor. But the wet experience is very easy and works well.
I will def be keeping this on hand to use interchangeably with my veet, or even instead of sometimes. :-)

I used up the entire bottle of this and while I like the pump and the packaging the actual product did not perform well. It is very hard to spread about and with water or wet skin it just easily washes away. Also, I used it up way faster than any other shaving cream. It impedes a close shave and sometimes it becomes tacky and sticky. I don't like the texture at all. Also, it is very wasteful because the product easily washes away. It is too expensive for how fast I used it up. I liked the smell but it was just too oily and tacky for my texture taste

While the packaging may be intuitive to females (we shave in the shower, better than a rusty can) the formulation is so wrong. Its a cream, not a mousse, which means it clogs your razor after one pass. Normal shave cream dissolve when water hits the razor.
As well, the pump is slow and annoying, making it very time consuming to shave.

I have been a lurker on this website for years, and I don't think I have ever written a review before.
I am a seasoned extracurricular shaver, and gave this stuff a spin for the heck of it. HATED it! Brand new razor, and my bikini line was still a total war zone. Not my first rodeo, that doesn't typically happen. You better believe I took it back for my Three Fiddy!

The only, and I mean ONLY good thing about this product is the smell. All of the scents seem to be very nice. The thing that drew me to this was the packaging, because it was a thick plastic rather than a can, so I thought that would prevent rust in the shower. What I do not like though, is that this isn't a typical gel consistency, but rather a cream. It doesn't lather at all, and if I apply this all over my leg, by the time I am done shaving one small section, it has basically soaked in/evaporated on all other areas. Thinking maybe I could still shave over those areas, I could not. My razor would pull slightly, as if there was nothing there. I had to use so much of this that I had literally used 1/3 of the product in one shave. And the worst part is, I have two bottles to get through!

Awful. Bought it at Walgreens because it was a buy one, get one half off deal, so I got the vanilla and lavender one.
First of all, I hate that I have the pump a million times before I can cover my legs below the knee to shave... and repeat for the rest of my leg. I'm 5'5" and 115 pounds, it's not like I have fat legs or anything. You have to use so much product to get anything out of it, and then it stops pumping out product when there's a 1/4 of the bottle left on the bottom. Ugh.
INGROWN HAIRS GALORE! I've never hated a product more in my life. I understand how ridiculous I sound but I'm annoyed at how many red bumps I have ALL over my legs.

Many many years ago, when shaving seemed like a fun, womanly thing to do, I had a bottle of Skintimate shave gel. I even remembered to use it sometimes. Then, well, I stopped bothering. Didn't have that many nicks, and surely using plain soap and water wouldn't dry my skin that much. It would? Well, fine, but I was lazy about shaving in general, so I just didn't care that much.
This year- so, after, like, a decade- I decided to put some more effort into skincare. So I spent far too much time reading labels at Target, rejecting all shave gels where I saw paraben or alcohol high up in the ingredient list. Then I came across the "eos" bottle, and braved the abysmal in-store cell coverage to load MUA on my phone. One long wait later, I read the rather crappy reviews, and decided to buy it anyway.
What I like:
- the scent. A soothing vanilla, but not overpowering or cloying. Win.
During my formative teen years, it seemed like every last product was boisterously "I SMELL OF FLOWER-FRUIT", and it was pretty annoying. Now it seems (although I am not backing this with actual data) that industry trends are swinging slightly towards unscented. (Whew.) So this mild scent is quite nice.
- paraben-free. One less source of estrogen-mimics.
What I don't like.
- lack of foam. The cream feels unpleasantly slick on my skin, and yet doesn't seem to be, you know, paving the way for a smooth shave.
- theoretically, I would need to use a lot of cream to prep my legs, yet I stop after one measly pump. So ... I get thin, inadequate product coverage, which doesn't help me get a closer shave. Fail.
I would not repurchase or recommend this. Although- what I *would* try- are you reading this, eos?- is a body lotion with the same soothing, intoxicating vanilla scent. Get on it. (Please/Thanks)

This stuff is a must have for me. I am allergic to sulfates and just found out there are hidden sulfates in the little moisture strips on most all razor blades. So I had to start buying the super super cheap razors and they have been so rough on my skin, causing nicks and redness and razor burn. Then I found this stuff. It's so awesome! It smells good and I don't really have to use lotion anymore because its so moisturizing, even though I have horribly dry skin! I do think that the way to use this is for dry shaving, which I've never done before buying this. It's seriously wonderful and I 100% recommend it!

Wow, this has a lot of bad reviews! I absolutely love this shave cream and it is HG for me. The smell is a nice, sweet vanilla. Not super light but also not too strong either. I also bought this and didn't know it was non foaming and was mad at first. I shoved it to the back of the cabinet only to pull it back out a few months later after I ran out of what I had been previously using. It gets you a pretty close shave, and is SO moisturizing! So moisturizing that I don't even need to use lotion on my legs after shaving anymore. Wow. No shaving cream or body wash has ever done that for me, even so called 'moisturizing' ones. But this is amazing. I usually used body wash as a shave cream and always had razor burn - I also realized after using this I stopped getting razor burn. It also doesn't burn or sting my 'lady parts' like many of the heavily scented shaving foams marketed specifically for women do. Yay! Works so well and is definately worth the $4. It has lasted me well over 3 months. Would definately repurchase and reccomend.

My main problem with this is that it said in very small letters in the back that it's a non foaming shave cream. If I had known that, I wouldn't have purchased it. The reason why it's important for shaving products to foam is because the stiffness of the foam makes your hair stand on end, thus making it easier for the blade to completely shave the hair off close to the follicle. Being a cream, there is no way you're getting a closer shave by using this product. It may be moisturizing, but that's why we have moisturizer.

EOS has quickly become one of my favorite brands! I absolutely adore everything I have bought from the company, especially the shave creams. I love the scent of this one, and it keeps my legs soft and shiny. It helps me get a closer shave so that I have to shave less. However, anytime I've tried to use it in a more sensitive area, it has clogged the pores, making for some very nasty bumps. I find that this product works best if I use a cheap 2 blade or single blade razor, since it does clog up the nicer ones. I figure, it's helping me buy cheaper razors, so that's always great. I do definitely love all of the shave creams, but this scent is my favorite. It has a beautiful scent, but isn't overpowering at all.

This was a big no for me. The only two things I liked about it was the vanilla scent and that it was creamy and moisturizing. This did not outweigh the fact that It clogged the pores on my legs and clogged my razor. I have since read an article and talked with friends about this and they recommended that I use a cheap men's shaving cream and a 2 blade razor to avoid these issues in the future. I was sad because I wanted to enjoy this but it made shaving unpleasant. I will not repurchase.

I actually liked this quite a bit. Very rich and creamy, nice smell, not tested on animals, moisturizing, and no more razor burn. However, there are a few things that are preventing me from buying again. I went through it pretty fast and the pump stopped dispensing product when the container was still like 1/8 full. Also, the cocoa butter or whatever completely clogged up my razors after a couple weeks no matter how carefully I rinsed, causing me to go through them twice as fast as I usually do! I'm going to try Aveeno's oatmeal shaving cream next instead.

I want to like this more because of its ingredients, but it's just not thick enough to have the name "ultra moisturizing." It's a step up from shaving with hair conditioner. The thin formula allows you to get a very close shave, and the pump dispenser is great for delivering the right amount of product.

As others have mentioned, it is very thin. No matter how much I put on my legs, I can't get a decent amount. So I can't really tell where I've shaved (I have crappy eyesight and have very light leg hair, OK?). I used it last night and now can feel where I missed places. It does leave skin soft and it smells nice, but overall does a crappy job at shaving. Won't repurchase.

I'm so used to super creamy shaving cream, but this product seems to be a little lighter. I feel like I have to use more in order to shave my skin smoothly. It does leave my skin feeling moisturized afterwards which is a plus. Otherwise, I'd rather stick to regular shaving cream.

I like the packaging and the scent of this product. But I'm not a fan of the product itself for shaving. It's just not creamy enough. I feel like I have to use a LOT to make it work. I will use it up and I will not repurchase.

It has a nice scent but the consistency is way too thin. You have to keep pumping more out, which is a waste. It settles on your skin to moisturize, which is nice, but that also means when you shave, it CLOGS the razor. I had to throw out a new razor b/c the blade was congested with EOS product. Although I will never buy the shave cream again, I loved that I could feel the moisturizing effects of the product, so I am tempted to try the regular lotion.

I was ADDICTED to this stuff for a while. It smells incredible and performs pretty well. It's kind of thin when you spread it on, but it hydrates and protects your skin like a light in-shower lotion. It's never messy or takes forever to rinse off. However, it took me TOO long to realize that I was literally wasting my money on this shave cream. I didn't care at first because I was convinced it was the best thing ever (considering it's paraben-free and has some other goodies in the ingredients list), but boy, was I wrong. Not only do you NOT get enough product for your money in the first place, but once you get to about 1/4 of the bottle, the pump no longer dispenses any cream. So you have two choices: 1) Take the pump out and get the rest of the cream out of the bottle manually, or 2) Toss that bull**** and never buy it again because it's nonsense. There are cheaper alternatives that work just as well, have more product in a can for your buck, and don't have wasteful pumps. I now use Skintimate Baby Soft. SO much better.

Thin, rinses away quick, have to use a lot of product! Only good thing is its smell if you prefer creams like this, as opposed to gels/foams, you should really try Olay
Body wash plus creme ribbons, to shave with, 20 times better than this junk.
