Every shave puts stress on the skin - razor burn, redness, ingrown hairs, and irritation are part of the deal for a lot of men. Urth's Post Shave Elixir is a lightweight, serum-style aftershave treatment formulated to address all of it in one application. A triple-acid blend of Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, and Salicylic Acid works to exfoliate surface debris, clear pores, and help prevent ingrown hairs before they form, while Calendula, Chamomile, Aloe Vera, and Bisabolol calm redness and soothe the skin immediately after shaving. Alpha Arbutin helps fade the appearance of post-shave marks and uneven tone over time. Vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without parabens or pore-clogging ingredients. Who's It For Built for anyone who shaves regularly and deals with razor burn, ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or post-shave redness. Also works well as a spot treatment for blackheads and congestion on non-shave days. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive. Key Benefits Soothes razor burn and redness - Chamomile, Aloe Vera, and Bisabolol work together to calm irritated, post-shave skin immediately on application, reducing visible redness and discomfort. Combats ingrown hairs - Salicylic Acid penetrates into the pore to dissolve the debris and oil that traps hairs beneath the skin's surface, helping prevent ingrown hairs from forming. Gentle chemical exfoliation - Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid remove dead skin cells and surface buildup, supporting smoother skin texture and a clearer complexion over time. Fades post-shave marks - Alpha Arbutin helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and discolouration left behind by razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Tones and clarifies - Witch Hazel acts as a natural astringent to tone the skin, minimize the appearance of pores, and help control excess oil in the post-shave window. Cooling and refreshing on contact - Menthyl Lactate and Eucalyptus Oil provide an immediate cooling sensation that makes the post-shave experience noticeably more comfortable. Key Ingredients Salicylic Acid - A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates into the pore to dissolve oil and debris. Helps prevent ingrown hairs and keeps pores clear between shaves. Lactic Acid - A gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates the skin's surface and supports cell turnover, improving texture and helping to prevent post-shave congestion. Glycolic Acid - A fast-acting AHA that chemically exfoliates and brightens, helping to refine texture and reduce the appearance of dullness and uneven tone. Calendula Extract (Calendula Officinalis) - A botanically soothing flower extract with well-established skin-calming properties. Helps reduce redness and support post-shave skin recovery. Chamomile Extract (Chamomilla Recutita) - A consistent anti-inflammatory that soothes reactive, irritated skin and helps calm the visible effects of shaving stress. Alpha Arbutin - A brightening active that helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and discolouration caused by ingrown hairs and razor bumps over time. Witch Hazel Extract (Hamamelis Virginiana) - A natural astringent that tones and tightens the appearance of pores and helps balance oil production in the post-shave window. How To Use Shake well before use. After shaving and rinsing, apply a small amount to the face and neck and pat gently into the skin - do not rub. For active ingrown hairs, razor bumps, or blackheads, apply directly as a spot treatment and reapply up to three to four times daily on problem areas. Follow with your moisturizer - the Urth Antioxidant Face Complex or Face Balm SPF 15 both layer well over this formula. Why MASC Recommends This The Post Shave Elixir takes a noticeably different approach to aftershave - it's not just soothing, it's actively treating the skin. The combination of calming botanicals and exfoliating acids means it addresses razor burn right away while also working to prevent ingrown hairs and bumps from developing. For anyone who shaves regularly and struggles with irritation or congestion, this is the kind of targeted solution that earns a permanent spot in the routine.
