Baxter of California v2.0
Technically, it's more like version 4.3.5 or something since the brand has existed in one form or another before the 70's. Baxter of California is about no-nonsense skin care for men. There are no frilly floral smelling creams here; just products in an ever expanding line targeted for the specific needs of a man. Rough skin, dry skin, aging skin, oily skin, skin in need of a shave - Baxter has all that you need.
The brand recently updated their packaging and it's a great look. The product line has always been about the careful balance between science and natural ingredients. The new packaging reflects that in every way. They're simple, clean and won't make your bathroom countertop look like a cosmetics counter. All bottles are made of a softer plastic - grippy and easy to squeeze. The jars are stackable for easy storage. The new descriptions are also much more "man-friendly". Do we really care how AHA's affect free-radicals in our skin? All we want to know is what is this, and how do we use it. It's clear and simple.
I got the opportunity to try many of the products. Now before I go any further - regular readers of this blog know I'm VERY picky about skin products. I buy 'em like candy so I like to think my opinion counts for some. So what do I think about Baxter products? In a word, LURV.
The scrub is my favorite. Like the other products it smells natural, nothing harsh or artificial. It has the right granulated consistency for a scrub. The best part? It actually works. Just from several uses, I've noticed a difference. It's about 1/3 the price of my regular scrub and does the same thing; yay for Baxter. To be sure, I tried it on a friend that can actually grow facial hair. His pores are larger and a lot of scrubs irritate men that shave often. Well to make the long story short, I no longer have the scrub in my possession. He loves it so much, he refuses to return it. His skin is extremely smooth and dare I say - glowy?
So if you're a man on a budget in need of a good skin care regime, go for Baxter. Your skin, girlies and maybe even boys (if you swing that way) will thank you for it.

I'm gonna have to try this scrub out. My girlfriend tells me my skin feels rough after I shave. Do you have any recommends for razor bumps?
