The 9 Very Best Aftershaves

In this article

Best aftershave overall.

• Best vegan and paraben-free
• Best for oily or acne-prone skin
• Best for preventing razor burn
• Best for preventing ingrown hairs
• Best moisturizing
• Best for aging skin

What does aftershave do, exactly? Originally created as an alcohol-based antiseptic for disinfecting the little nicks and cuts you can get from shaving , traditional aftershaves tend to be very drying, and splashing it on freshly shaved skin can really burn. But the right aftershave can quench dry skin, and soothe post-shaving redness .

Depending on your skin and facial-hair type, you can pick from cooling gels, soothing balms, and refreshing liquids that disinfect as well as hydrate, exfoliate, and tone skin — many of which are alcohol-free and actually feel good going on. Because everyone has a different set of post-shave skin needs, I interviewed 15 dermatologists and grooming experts about their favorite aftershaves. I asked them about the best aftershave to soothe specific skin complaints, like razor burn and pesky ingrown hairs, and then cross-referenced their picks against factors such as skin type, formula and scent, to find the best picks for all men. As I don’t shave my face, I enlisted my flatmate to test out their picks too.

What we’re looking for

Recommended skin type.

According to Dr. Anna Guanche, dermatologist and founder of Bella Skin Institute , the best aftershave for you depends on your particular skin type. “Everyone’s skin is different and will react and respond to different types of aftershaves,” she says. Whether you’re prone to dryness, razor burn, acne and ingrown hairs , or just want to maintain a healthy glow, there is an aftershave out there for you. Folks with dry and sensitive skin, for example, should look for soothing ingredients like aloe, vitamin E, and shea butter, and stay away from harsh ingredients like alcohol and menthol. If you’re not sure what skin type you have, a quick trip to the barber or to see a dermatologist will help you gain a better understanding of what your skin needs to look and feel its best.

Notable ingredients

Dr. Nikhil Dhingra of Spring Street Dermatology in New York says that moisturizing after shaving is “quite possibly the most critical step in post-shave care.” When you shave, he says, you’re stripping the skin of its natural oils. So if you don’t add any moisture back in, your skin is far more likely to feel uncomfortable after shaving, potentially leading to ingrown hairs, dryness, and razor burn. Regardless of your skin type, the aftershave you use should contain moisturizing ingredients. As with facial moisturizers, the dryer your skin is, the richer or thicker you’ll want your post-shave moisturizer to be. Ingredients like shea butter and avocado oil are good examples of rich, moisturizing ingredients. If you have trouble with frequent breakouts, you’d be better off using something more lightweight, like glycerin, that won’t clog pores. As mentioned above, other ingredients in your aftershave should correspond to your skin type. If you have a more oily complexion or tend to get a lot of ingrown hairs, a formula with astringent qualities could be very beneficial. Ingredients like witch hazel and eucalyptus oil are known to kill bacteria, tighten pores, and give you a more matte complexion.

Mark Miguez of Friend of a Barber says that he can tell just by feeling the texture of an aftershave with his fingers whether he will like using it or not. He is strongly in favor of balms over liquids or gels because he finds they are the most moisturizing of the bunch. But others might find a balm-style aftershave too thick and prefer a cooling gel or liquid. Because you can’t feel each of the below products through your screen, I’ve noted whether each one is a balm, a liquid, or a gel.

Recommended skin type: Sensitive | Notable ingredients: Vitamin E, chamomile, witch hazel extract | Formula: Creamy liquid

This alcohol-free soothing aftershave was recommended by six of the experts I talked to and more often than any other product. Dermatologist Tsippora Shainhouse says that people with sensitive skin should not only avoid alcohol-based formulas that can dry out their skin, but also stay away from fragrances and irritants like menthol and lemon oil, which can cause breakouts and redness. Dr. Erum Ilyas of Schweiger Dermatology Group gives Nivea’s Post Shave Balm top marks for its hydrating and soothing vitamin E. Dermatologists Bruce Robinson , Dr. Michele Green , and Dr. Shari Sperling , as well as barber Mansour Smaini of Epic Barber Shop in NYC , also like Nivea’s post-shave balm for its moisturizing formula that’s alcohol-free.

My flatmate tested this balm out. He has thick, coarse hair that he shaves regularly into a neat beard, but his skin is also sensitive, meaning he can suffer from itching, burning, and small breakouts if he picks the wrong product. He’s also — because of this sensitivity — usually reluctant to try new aftershaves and products but felt comfortable as Nivea is a brand he’s familiar with. Robinson says that’s a good call: The bigger brand name means you’re getting a product that has had plenty of research baked into its development process. “I think they nailed it on this one,” he says. My flatmate is also a fan: After four weeks of consistent use, he tells me he’s going to keep the balm as part of his routine. After shaving, he slathers it on, paying particular attention to his neck, where his breakouts and itching usually occur. He likes that the balm leaves his skin “feeling quenched” and has a “light refreshing smell” that lingers on the skin.

Best vegan and paraben-free aftershave

Recommended skin types: Dry, sensitive | Notable ingredients: Avocado oil, squalane, niacinamide | Formula: Balm

Aside from texture, Miguez’s top criteria for aftershave is that it’s made with clean ingredients. His favorite aftershave is this creamy balm from Le Labo. In addition to ultra-hydrating avocado oil, squalane, and niacinamide, it has the slightly floral scent of bergamot. “The smell reminds me of the south of Italy. It’s really soothing, doesn’t dry you out, and there’s no waxy residue to it,” he says.

Best aftershave for oily or acne-prone skin

Recommended skin type: Oily | Notable ingredients: Witch hazel, eucalyptus oil, menthol | Formula: Liquid

Though alcohol-based formulas can be overly drying for many skin types, they are helpful for reducing shine and grease if you have oiler skin. The goal is to avoid any potentially pore-clogging ingredients like coconut oil or cocoa butter, says dermatologist David Lortscher .

Elle Medico, men’s grooming expert at Paul Labrecque Salon & Spa , and dermatologist Samer Jaber both mentioned this tried-and-true liquid aftershave from Italian brand Proraso. Jaber says it’s gentle enough to use every day, and Medico says it’s easy to find in any drugstore and great for closing the pores and making the skin look tight and fresh. If the astringent effect of this aftershave is a little too intense for you, Medico recommends putting some of it on a washcloth and diluting it with a touch of water before applying to the skin.

Best aftershave for preventing and treating razor burn

Recommended skin type: Easily irritated | Notable ingredients: Aloe, glycerin, chamomile, lavender | Formula: Gel

If post-shave irritation is your gripe, you might want to seek out an aftershave with skin soothers that will help prevent and treat razor burn. Sperling, Lortscher , and grooming expert Laurent DeLouya of La Boîte a Coupe suggest Jack Black’s Post Shave Cooling Gel for its blend of botanicals, like bacteria-fighting lavender, plus calming aloe and chamomile. Sperling also points out that it’s alcohol-free, so it won’t dry out or irritate your skin.

This is another pick that I’ve had my flatmate test for me. As mentioned, he has sensitive skin and often notices razor rashes and bumps after shaving. The main thing that he emphasized to me was the “non-stinging, instant cooling ” sensation he feels after applying the gel — which he really appreciates, as his skin often feels tender and hot to the touch after shaving. He also enjoys how little of the gel he needs to use to cover his face, and that it absorbs well without leaving a greasy residue behind. Of the two aftershaves I had him test, he finds he reaches for the cooling gel more — and one bottle has lasted him almost three months.

Best oil-based aftershave

Recommended skin type: Easily irritated | Notable ingredients: Castor oil | Formula: Liquid

“My best-kept secret for aftershave is castor oil,” says celebrity stylist Yvey Valcin. “Anytime we’re using razors it can mess with the first layer of the skin, so castor oil helps rejuvenate the skin.” His castor oil of choice comes from Kreyòl; it’s 100 percent pure and intensely hydrating, which Valcin says makes it a soothing choice for skin that’s prone to irritation and razor bumps. The oil doubles as a conditioner, so it can be used to add some shine to your freshly shaped beard.

Best aftershave for preventing and treating ingrown hairs

Recommended skin type: Skin prone to ingrown hairs | Notable ingredients: Alcohol, aspirin, glycerin | Formula: Liquid

According to Ilyas, washing with an antibacterial soap and changing your razors routinely to avoid bacteria from building up around hair follicles, nicks, or cuts can help prevent ingrown hairs. But if you already have one (or a few), Tend Skin Solution comes recommended by two of our experts. Jaber describes it as soothing and calming for skin; it also has acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) to help exfoliate and decrease skin irritation. Green says it’s a tried-and-true treatment for ingrown hairs that’s been around for a long time. “It’s the original,” she says, noting that both men and women have had success using it for years. While Tend Skin is very popular and effective at preventing ingrown hairs, it can also be drying because of the alcohol in it. So our experts advise using it sparingly at first.

Best moisturizing aftershave

Recommended skin type: Dry | Notable ingredients: Shea butter, glycerin, birch sap extract | Formula: Balm

The added shea butter in this L’Occitane shave balm is why Jaber recommends it as a moisturizing option for people with drier skin. Shea butter is a superhero when it comes to moisturizing dry skin (and we think it feels luxurious, too). It also has a blend of anti-inflammatory and antiseptic essential oils, like birchwood sap and rosemary, that will kill bacteria and soothe your skin.

Best 2-in-1 aftershave and moisturizer

Recommended skin type: Dry | Notable ingredients: Shea butter, glycerin, grapeseed extract | Formula: Thin balm

At just over $15 per ounce, this Art of Shaving Balm is slightly more expensive than the L’Occitane one above (which costs $14.40 per ounce). But it’s also a 2-in-1 product that cancels out the need for an additional layer of moisturizer. It’s a favorite of both Sperling and cosmetic dermatologic surgeon Howard Sobel , since it’s alcohol free and contains skin-plumping shea butter and essential oils .

Best aftershave for aging skin

Recommended skin types: Dry, aging | Notable ingredients: Eucalyptus, arnica, vitamin C | Formula: Liquid

When it comes to aging skin, Dhingra says you may need to amp things up with more than one product — think layering. “Your skin dries out as you get older, and that dryness may set you up for inflammation after shaving,” says Dhingra, who recommends starting your post-shave routine with this soothing anti-inflammatory tonic from Fellow Barber. It contains cooling eucalyptus as well as arnica, which decreases inflammation, and skin-brightening vitamin C.

The 12 Best Aftershaves to Finish Your Morning Routine

Your shave doesn’t stop when you put down the razor.

Our product picks are editor-tested, expert-approved. We may earn a commission through links on our site. Why Trust Us?

Shaving is complicated. You can do everything right during your morning shave , but still be left with ingrown hairs or a red, tight rash hours later. And those possibilities become even more likely if you’re not using an aftershave.

Aftershaves are designed to help your skin recover from shaving and avoid those annoying issues that can pop up later. Slap on an aftershave once you put down the razor and rinse off the shaving cream , and your skin will soak up the good ingredients to help calm it down, rehydrate it and generally just keep it happier.

There are a ton of aftershaves out there, but generally speaking, you should look for products that are alcohol-free (alcohol is what creates that Home Alone- style burn upon application) and contain soothing ingredients. If you like a cooling sensation in your aftershave, look for ingredients like menthol and mint extracts. If you struggle with ingrown hairs and razor bumps, go for an aftershave that specifically targets those issues like versions with tea tree oil.

The format of an aftershave—balm, lotion, splash—is more of a personal preference. If your skin is prone to dryness, steer towards heavier, creamier aftershaves that deliver a bit more moisture to stressed post-shave skin. But if you’re not a big fan of heavy creams, choose a gel or lightweight lotion. And if you’re really just chasing a quick, extra-fresh feeling, a watery splash could do the trick.

More than anything else, choose an aftershave you’ll actually use. If it’s just sitting in your medicine cabinet, it’s not going to do your skin any good. And really, anyone who shaves should be using an aftershave. It could mean the difference between a smooth baby soft shave and a neck covered in bumps. As for where to start in your aftershave journey, this list will help you—no matter what kind of skin or budget you have.

This balm hits all the right notes: It’s alcohol-free so it won’t dry out your skin, lightweight and non-greasy so it won’t leave your skin shiny, and contains a healthy dose of Vitamin B5 to help strengthen and protect your skin.

Read more: Best Face Moisturizers

When you have sensitive skin, it can be easily irritated by fragrance. This fragrance-free balm is the answer. It calms down freshly-shaved skin, but won’t leave it irritated or inflamed.

Read more: Best Face Washes

This thin balm isn’t heavy or sticky and leaves your skin feeling cool, calmed and fresh. The subtle scent helps reinforce that oh-so-important fresh feeling. The price is also wallet-friendly, which is why we recommend the three-pack. Keep one in your bathroom, one in your gym bag, and one in your Dopp kit for travel.

Versace Eros Aftershave Balm

Somewhere between an aftershave and a cologne, this double-duty product is great to use on your face even if you haven’t shaved. Top notes of the balm include mint and green apple, while the base includes rich scents of oak moss, cedar, and vanilla.

Kiehl's Ultimate Razor Burn & Bump Relief

Rich in botanical extracts like willow bark and aloe vera, this aftershave formula instantly soothes razor burn and prevents razor bumps. Plus, even though it’s a cream, it’s lightweight enough to wear under moisturizer or even reapply a couple of times a day.

Old Spice Classic After Shave

Honestly, you can’t go wrong with a classic like Old Spice aftershave (there’s a reason it’s been the go-to for men for nearly 90 years). The light scent is fresh and clean, but doesn’t linger, and the watery liquid is ideal for soothing skin if lotions and creams aren’t your thing.

Aesop Moroccan Neroli Post-Shave Lotion

Lots of aftershaves have scents, which is great if you don’t particularly like to wear cologne or just want that fresh feeling to stick with you once you leave the bathroom. This luxurious lotion is fresh and botanical, but not overpowering—and best of all, the lotion still soothes and calms your skin after shaving.

Bevel After Shave Balm

The curlier your hair, the more likely you are to get razor bumps. The solution is this aftershave balm, which contains tea tree oil to help loosen up caught hairs and prevent them from turning into bumps. Best of all, it’s alcohol-free so it doesn’t sting or dry out your skin.

Jack Black Post Shave Cooling Gel

When it comes to razor burn and post-shave irritation, one of the most important things you can do is cool your skin down immediately after shaving. If you don’t have a cold towel handy, this aftershave gel is your next best option.

Baxter of California Shave Tonic

You can still use aftershaves even if you’re not a fan of lotions or creams. This innovative spray is packed with aloe, menthol, vitamins and other botanical extracts to instantly soothe freshly shaved skin without the need for a cream. If you have extra time, spray it onto a hot towel and press it to your face for a barbershop feel.

Harry's Post-Shave Balm

The best remedy for post-shave redness is aloe, which has been used for years to calm redness and irritation in the skin (and, not for nothing, heal actual burns). In this all-around-great aftershave, it’s paired with another super-cooling ingredient, cucumber extract, for additional power.

Proraso Refreshing and Toning Aftershave

There’s a reason you’ve seen Proraso products in your barbershop: they’re just plain good, or they wouldn’t have been around for almost a century. This version of their classic aftershave is packed with soothing eucalyptus oil, cooling menthol, and skin-toning witch hazel.

Ewan McGregor wouldn’t shave off any years. That mustache? Another story.

• Copy Link URL Copied!

Ewan McGregor is swiping through his camera roll, looking for the picture that explains why he will never grow another mustache — unless a job requires it. And even then, he’d probably argue that the character should be clean-shaven. Dalí without a mustache? Surreal.

Before our conversation, I had resolved not to ask McGregor anything about facial hair. It seems that most of the interviews he’s done to promote his terrific Paramount+ With Showtime limited series “A Gentleman in Moscow” have spent an inordinate amount of time focusing on the mustache he grew to play Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov, a Russian nobleman sentenced to house arrest in a luxurious hotel following the 1917 revolution. Over four decades (and eight episodes), the good gentleman learns to let go of formalities and appreciate simple pleasures and embrace family.

But he never shaves off that damn mustache.

A model of restraint, ‘A Gentleman in Moscow’ is unlike anything else on television

Ewan McGregor stars as a Russian nobleman under house arrest after the 1917 revolution in the Paramount+ with Showtime adaptation of Amor Towles’ novel.

McGregor keeps scrolling. He’s in Atlanta, shooting “Flowervale Street,” a movie so secret that when he mentions its name, he immediately panics. “Oh, no. I’m worried that I just blew the title.” When I tell him it’s out there, he’s relieved. He wrapped shooting at 6:30 this morning, and here he is with me on Zoom, 4½ hours later. “I’m somewhat upside down, but it’s all good,” he says.

And he’s not that out of it, because when I tell him all I know about “Flowervale Street” is that David Robert Mitchell (“It Follows,” “Under the Silver Lake”) wrote and directed it, and it’s a mystery, and it might be set in the 1980s, and it might have dinosaurs, he says, smiling:

“Well, I’m not at liberty to discuss that in any way, so it could be in the ’70s with, you know, rodents. But it’s great fun.”

He finds the photo. He’s with his son, Laurie, who was just shy of 3 when it was taken. McGregor’s hair is light brown. His mustache is blond. He grimaces, saying, “There’s something about my blondie mustache that doesn’t look good on my face.” The picture was taken last year during the actors’ strike, which interrupted the filming of “A Gentleman in Moscow” with eight days remaining on the schedule. During the break, McGregor kept the mustache, grew a beard and waited. When shooting resumed in January, he finished his scenes and shaved it all off five minutes after production wrapped.

“There’s me in the makeup chair,” McGregor says with glee, finding another shot in his camera roll.

The experience of making this show is why I wanted to be an actor.

“I’m getting the feeling you’re never growing a mustache—”

“... again,” he interrupts, finishing my sentence. “Once it goes white, maybe. Then I think it might look good. Like, for instance, you’d look great with a mustache.” Which is funny because the last time I grew a beard, my kids, then little, called me Obi-Wan.

“There are worse things they could call you, believe me,” McGregor says, laughing.

McGregor played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the three “Star Wars” prequels and returned to the role for the 2022 Disney+ limited series. Shortly before we spoke, he surprised fans attending a 25th-anniversary showing of “The Phantom Menace” at the Atlanta Film Festival. He likes doing these kinds of drop-ins. A few years ago, he showed up at the El Capitan in Hollywood at 2 in the morning between films in a “Star Wars” marathon.

“They’re all in sleeping bags and blankets,” McGregor says. “It’s a good laugh. And it’s good for the ego when they give you a big cheer when they weren’t expecting you.”

Critics mostly hated “The Phantom Menace” when it was released, but the George Lucas-directed movie has been reassessed as the years have passed.

“We made the film for kids, but we didn’t hear from them then because they were kids and there was no Instagram, no social media. They didn’t have a voice like they do now,” McGregor says. “All we had was the critics and the noise of the people who didn’t like it. But those kids have grown up, and those movies are now their ‘Star Wars’ trilogy. It’s nice for me, that. Because at the time, the reaction was rough.”

We get to talking about the idea, explored in “A Gentleman in Moscow,” that less is more and the contentment that comes from casting aside what no longer serves us.

“You realize what things are not you,” McGregor says. “I’m 53. But I’ve got lots of friends who are about to be 60. And I keep noticing, watching shows on television, young people referencing 60 like it’s really old!” He stops, laughing. “You’re like, ‘Wait a minute.’ But it’s also learning about who you are, isn’t it? And you let go of the things that you don’t need.”

The funny thing about McGregor, though, is that he’s someone who picks up hobbies quickly, becomes obsessed with them and then moves on to the next thing, never quite letting them go. He can ride a unicycle. He can play the guitar. He can blow a few tunes on the bagpipes. There’s always something going on. It used to be that he’d beat himself up over knowing how to do a lot of things moderately well as opposed to mastering a single talent. Now he just accepts that’s how he is. He can go out to his shed, look at the unicycle he hasn’t used for three years and know that someday he’ll give it another go.

“What about the bagpipes?” I ask. “Are they in the corner somewhere, gathering dust?”

“They are at the moment,” McGregor says. “But they will get blown again.”

It turns out McGregor is even more interested in talking about the bagpipes than about his “Moscow” mustache. It wasn’t that long ago, in fact, that he broke out his bagpipes. This last year, he was in his native Scotland for Hogmanay , the country’s new year celebration. He was out with his brother, who repeatedly called out for songs that McGregor didn’t know. “C’mon, shut up. I don’t know that one,” McGregor kept telling him.

When he was a kid, McGregor was a drummer in a pipe band. He never thought he’d be a piper because as a drummer, that would be, in his words, “going over to the dark side.” But when he was shooting the 2011 film “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen” in the Scottish Highlands, he met a piper and, inspired by being home, bought some bagpipes and found a teacher in London. He took the pipes with him to the set of his next film — he won’t name it, but it was a “miserable” experience (“f— slow, like I was under house arrest”) — and asked the transport guy to put his trailer next to the generator.

“I’m the first actor in history to ask that, because usually you want to be as far away from the generator as possible because it’s so noisy,” McGregor says. “But it was perfect because I could blow my bagpipes for hours on end and no one could hear it because I was next to the drone of the generator.”

Hearing these stories, it’s easy to see why McGregor loved “A Gentleman in Moscow,” a series that asked him to learn how to do a number of different things — age a character over decades, play a father and a lover, explore the inner life of a man well versed in grief and loss who never loses his zest for living.

“The experience of making this show is why I wanted to be an actor,” McGregor says. “It’s such a beautiful piece; it leaves you thinking, ‘God, I hope there’s another one out there somewhere in the future.’ But who knows?”

“He’s so charming, but I resist using that word because it’s reductive,” says “Moscow” showrunner Ben Vanstone. “There’s so much thought and skill that goes into his performance, all of his performances, really.”

Vanstone says McGregor’s count ages 31 years in the series, not including what we see of the character in childhood flashbacks. But because the character’s mental burdens grow lighter over time, McGregor believes he becomes more relaxed and, in many ways, younger. He learns to live.

Circling back to what he said earlier about young people calling his friends almost ancient at 60, I ask McGregor how old he feels these days.

“I feel 53. I feel exactly where I am,” he replies. “I don’t want to be 35. I want to feel the age that I am.”

Is that because, I ask — adding that I’ve known him for so long now, almost an entire hour, so I can presume some insight — he wouldn’t trade the wisdom and experiences he’s accumulated to shave off a few years?

“No, I wouldn’t,” McGregor says. “I’m not afraid of aging. I’m not afraid of getting older. I’m not afraid of dying. I’m just so happy. I’m a lucky, lucky man.”
