Overview
Lathering this Gillette SkinGuard scrub into wet skin starts the shave routine: it clears dirt, oil and bacteria and exfoliates so hairs are less likely to grow back under the skin. Shea butter and charcoal make up the base.
Fewer razor bumps from a scrub you use before every shave is the reason to buy it. Exfoliant type and full ingredients are not listed, so sensitive skin should patch test.
Who it's for
Suited to men with bump-prone beard areas who want one step before shaving. Those with very reactive skin who avoid physical scrubs should look for a gentler cleanser.
Pros and cons
- Helps prevent razor bumps and ingrowns

- Exfoliant particle type not listed

Performance notes
Exfoliating before shaving lifts dead skin that traps hairs, which is what reduces ingrown hairs over time. Results build with regular use rather than from a single wash.
