Guests are saying
The recent reformulation of the shaving gel has left many guests disappointed, as it no longer provides the same smooth and effective shaving experience. Guests have noted that the new formula lacks the desired lather and lubrication, often turning into an airy foam that is difficult to use. However, some guests still appreciate its gentle nature for sensitive skin and its pleasant scent, making it a mixed experience overall.

The only shave cream that doesn’t make my teen son breakout. No irritation at all!

How did you break shaving cream
New formula clumps and does not spread on evenly. Where can I get the old formula?

Biodegradable shaving gel
Unhappy with the new biodegradable formula. Excessive amount of foam that does not apply uniformly. Please bring back the original formula at a reasonable price.

What Happened To This Product???
I have been using this product for years and it was a gel why did the manufacturer change it to foam? It says gel on the can but is not gel it's some kind of weak foam that falls off of my face as quick as I apply it to my face. I will never use it again and will talk to the retailers that I have purchased it from and let them know that it is not a gel and is a foam product.

New formula is absolutely terrible. The gel will not lather. It creates clumps of foam and is a mess to try to use. This was a great product but not anymore.

New formula is Terrible
Just bought a new can of this, which I have used for years, and realized that the formula must have changed because it does not feel anything like the old one. It's just an airy foam that doesn't have the old lubricative feel. I might as well buy some cheap generic brand because that is what this feels like. I won't be buying this anymore unless they bring back the old formulation.

What Happened?
I always liked Nivea Sensitive Shave Gel, because I've never liked trying to spread regular shaving foam on my face. It would come out as a gel, which then turns to foam while spreading evenly on my skin. Now, it shoots out air and foam like Reddi-Whip. I am going back to the Edge shaving gel because it has always been consistent. Nivea: you managed to screw up what was once a really good product.

New formulation is HORRIBLE
I have been buying this product for years, my last purchase is HORRIBLE!! It is NOT a shave gel, but is foam, I do not buy gel for it to be foam. I am not sure what has happened but I won’t be buying any more of this product. You have completely alienated this customer.

Why why why
Was my go to shaving cream for many years until they updated to this biodegradable alcohol free crap!! Doesn’t lather at all and just an absolute mess to even try to use!! Save yourself the trouble and buy something else that actually lathers and works!! If I could give this a zero I would but I will not buy this product ever again!!

Helps to moisturize the face
I started buying this shaving gel for my husband 6 months ago. He noticed that his skin is definitely noticeably less dry after shaving with it and he no longer experiences dry patchy rashes on his face.

New Formula is horrible.
New formula is horrible. After 10+ years I'm off to find another product. It is no longer creamy and doesn't "gather". The scent is also different and not pleasant. It's not as effective. It's obvious they removed ingredients or changed to save money. However a bad gamble as you can see by others. I will find another brand. Shame.

A terrible reformulation
I've purchased this product for years. It WAS the best. Now, it's the WORST. Why would the desire to be more biodegradable permit a complete loss of product performance and quality? Simply a terrible reformulation. We are men with sensitive skin, we could care less about biodegradability. Please return to the original formula.

Absolutely The Worst
I have been using Nivea shaving gel for ages. I liked the older products even better but still used their shavng gel, that is up until this very moment. In the midst of a shave, I just cracked open a 2-pack to finish my shave. This product is beyound horrible. The previous can was fine but the new formula won't gather together nor stay on my face. Thinking maybe it's just a bad can I proceeded to open the 2nd one, and again, this so called product doesn't work. It doesn't moisturize, it doesn't stay on one's face nor will it combine into a whole. It's horrible. Tomorrow I will figure out what brand of shaving gel I will switch to? As for this new formula 2-pack I just purchased, it's going straight into the garbage where it belongs.

New Formula
The new formula is not good. It creates a cheap foam that doesn’t work into your face well. It smells bad too. Too bad I bought a two pack.

New Formula is horrible!
Nivea Men Sensitive Shave Gel has been my preferred brand for decades, because it was a superior product. No more. I have a thick coarse beard that requires shaving twice (with and against the grain). I used to do that with a single application, now I have to lather up twice...and I do mean "lather up", because it now turns to foam almost instantly. If I wanted to buy foam I would have bought the Foam, instead of the Gel, which I prefer for it's lubrication and staying power. The new formula clumps up, and dries out. It's terrible. What focus group of morons thought this was an improvement? It is clearly an inferior product, so the only reason for change must be that it is cheaper to produce. Some bean counter has ruined my shaving experience. I originally switched from Edge (the very first shaving gel) to Nivea. Now I have to go and test every other gel on the market to find something worthwhile, because Nivea blew it this time. I raved about it for decades as the best you could buy. No more. Too bad I can't give zero or negative stars for a rating.

Great Shaving Gel for getting ridiculously of beard hair. It feels good after shaving since you don't feel irritated

After 20 years, I am finding a new brand.
The new formula is far from an upgrade. It’s so bad that I took the time to write this review. I had been using the product for 20 years and have stepped away. The scent is off, it’s inconsistent can per can, and actually makes shaving harder. Extremely disappointed.
