Aqueous Cream for cleansing?

Options
Can this be used as a cleanser and for leg shaving etc?
Seem to have a pot of it but not sure what to do with it.
Would it cause spots/make the worse?

I have realised I will never play the Dane! :(

Where are my medals? Everyone else on here has medals!! :p

  • Brilliant for shaving.

    Just apply it, then add warm water to wash off/rinse razor in hot water.


    I have very, very dry skin and a tendency towards allergic reactions. But I can shave with aqueous without spending the rest of the night and early morning burning and scratching and whimpering. Unlike when using shower gel, shaving foam or - heaven forbid - Veet, when my skin boils.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

  • I can't wait to try it for shaving my legs as they are soooo dry and sore at the moment (and I probably need to shave more than the average monkey!)

    I use it every night to cleanse my face and then rinse off, it works fine! I also use it to shave my legs and pits.

    Yes, me too. It leaves my skin really soft and fresh.
  • Does it bring you out in spots?

    BTW shaved my legs with it today and WOW although I will prob have to throw the blade away each time because it got all clagged up with the cream.

  • It's also fab for putting under sore eyes! I have lots of allergies and very sensitive skin and when my eyes are puffy and dry, I was told by a chemist to pat a small dot of aqueous cream under my eye and on my eye lid - it really works and I think it's good for fine lines around the eyes too (or it is on me)
    :D
