As an artist/presenter/parent who is always busy and often away from home, I don't have time to check on my shaving creams and other products . However since Adrienne introduced me to FINO Soothe After Shave Balm, my skin feels smooth and I no longer get any irritation or sores - no more burn ! FINO Soothe works wonders for me, within two weeks of using FINO Soothe - results were evident. I will definitely continue using FINO SOOTHE.... HOLA 7

Shaving regularly can really take it out on my skin and razor bumps are a real no-no on set. FINO Soothe puts the pleasure back in shaving and makes my skin feel good and look smooth.

Another great new product added and this time from a local producer here in South Africa. FINO Soothe was developed by make-up artist Adrienne Cohen, who has a passion for male grooming. She has created a top quality product that targets the harsh effects of hair removal, such as shaving rash and ingrown hairs – something that many people suffer from. This product has received fantastic reviews from people who have tried it and as they say, the proof is in the pudding – so check out the reviews and try some for yourself.”

I would just like to thank you for a most amazing product. I have a very sensitive skin and shaving has always been a nightmare experience. I used to shave at least two hours before going out, in order not to have a ‘turkey neck’, all red and sore looking. As a hairdresser, I have to appear as health and beauty conscious as possible and now I can shave every day and feel more comfortable with the way I appear. The instant relief of the rash I have had to live with since the age of 14, when I started shaving, is better than a strong cup of coffee in the morning. It also has great moisturising properties. I will definitely be telling some of my friends and clients about it!”

Shaving was out of question for me, before I started using FINO Soothe. I had tried several products, both local and imported, without any success, and had given-up on shaving. I have been using FINO Soothe since 2000 and now I enjoy shaving. As a Business Consultant and pastor, my appearance is very important to me, since I have to address business people and congregations both in groups and on an individual basis. I like FINO Soothe because it is fragrance-free, non-sticky and is easily absorbed into the skin, therefore it does not stain shirts. I recommend FINO Soothe to anyone who develops shaving bumps, it will work wonders for you, within two weeks after having started using FINO Soothe and results were evident for me.”

I have been in the beauty industry for five years and have gained the respect of many friends and family members. I am proud to say that FINO Soothe has been an extremely popular product amongst my friends and my husband. You definitely have our support and I will continue to tell men about it. Thank you for the difference that you have made and will continue to make. Keep at it, and all the best.”

I have tried most of the expensive male grooming products available, spent a fortune without getting my desired results, that is until I tried FINO Soothe. FINO gave me back my tender infancy skin. It is a breakthrough grooming product to end razor bumps and burn. I truly recommend it to all males worldwide. This is not a fairy tale, take you chances by trying it you will not believe both your mirror and your skin within a few days of use.”

I have been using FINO Soothe for a few years. I have tried every hair removal method from razors to hair removal creams, every method irritates my skin and causes in grown hairs. Now, after every shave I use FINO Soothe, it not only gives me relief from irritation and in grown hairs, but it has also restored my skin making it smoother. I would recommend it to anyone who has suffered like me from razor burn and in grown hairs.”

I use FINO Soothe religiously because it soothes and nourishes my skin. I recommend it highly!”
Dawid Minnaar
Actor - Binnelanders TV Series

As an actor means I have to have to first shave and then have make up applied daily. These two rituals do not combine well especially once I start sweating under the lights! The result has always been an irritated skin and a neck resembling a pizza. Since I started using FINO Soothe - I’m very happy to say that these are now problems of the past. My skin is healthy and blemish free. Thank you to FINO Cosmetics.”

For years I have struggled with razor bumps, but now thanks to FINO Soothe, it seems as if my troubles are over. Razor bumps are particularly acute in us black males and now with FINO Soothe we have a product specifically designed to address this problem – thanks!
Litha Nkombisa

Shaving has never been a good experience for me. I have a very tough beard and an extremely sensitive skin. Even the most expensive moisturisers and after shave balms don’t help with the after shave burn and sting.
Since I have been using FINO Soothe after shaving and I cannot believe the difference NO MORE BURN!!! It also seems to be loaded with moisture, which is exactly what my skin needs.
I will definitely continue using FINO Soothe to help me combat my shaving problems.
Many thanks

FINO Soothe is really great product. I have been constantly frustrated for years by the ever- increasing problem of getting bumps and burn every time I shave. I never thought that I would ever be able to combat this. FINO Soothe proved me wrong. The consistency is also really great., fast absorbing and leaving absolutely no residue or film.

Since I have started FINO Soothe my whole attitude towards shaving has changed. Before using FINO Soothe I dreaded the thought of shaving, My skin is very sensitive, as a result I would only shave every other day but now I don't mind doing it every morning. As a manager appearance and grooming are really important to me. With fragrance free FINO Soothe the ugly bumps are now gone. FINO Soothe really works for me.

I have been using FINO Soothe for a year and half now. I tried a number of other products which failed me completely. Since my pharmacist recommended FINO Soothe my face is now smooth. I appreciate your invention I believe it would go a long way in helping other men with such problems especially sensitive skin people like my self.
Mr Bhutana Nkosi, South Africa

I often used to get shaving rashes that would itch like crazy. Scratching would result in unattractive red welts on my neck. Since using FINO Soothe I cannot tell you the difference. It gives immediate, effective relief and has a long term soothing quality. I kid you not - this stuff works!
Greg Latter
Actor/ Screen Play Writer, South Africa

Since I have been using FINO Soothe my shaving rash has improved to the point where it is no longer visible. My skin also feels moisturised after using FINO Soothe and it is not as oily as when I used to use a moisturiser and a separate after-shave. FINO Soothe fulfils both functions for me.
I have recommended FINO Soothe to several other guys who have also had positive results after using it.

For many years i have tried different products for razor bumps with no success -  I can safely say in FINO Soothe, I've finally  found what I've been looking for. It is just magic! I'm glad to see that this great product is locally made! Thanks again for this great product!!!

I hardly use skin creams, but I am a sucker for skin treatments. FINO Soothe balm for after hair removal is one of the best that I know of and the creator Adrienne Cohen is super too!

I have successfully used FINO Soothe as an after treatment for waxing to calm down the skin and reduce redness, itching and raised redness surrounding the follicles as a result of the hair being pulled out of the follicle and tearing away form the connective tissue sheath. Five minutes after application of FINO Soothe to the waxed area, the skin is completely calmed down, with no visible signs of redness or itching. This is truly a remarkable product and all salons should have this on the waxing trolley as an after care product for waxing, no matter which part of the body is treated. I would strongly recommend this product to any Health and Skin Care Therapist. Both for in Salon usage and for retail to the client after the session.”

I love using FINO Soothe – it’s changed my life – I used to have terrible bumps and ingrown hairs on my bikini line and my legs and an inflammation where I had removed facial hair – little pimples and redness – I even use it after plucking my eyebrows. I keep a tube in my bathroom and then another one with my body lotion as soon as the hair starts growing out on my legs and bikini line I apply FINO Soothe daily as if it were a body lotion – I used to have tons of ingrown hairs and now even my beautician can’t believe the difference!”
Tanya Rosenberg

Working as a make-up artist for film I often encounter men suffering from shaving rashes and ingrown hair. I was introduced to FINO Soothe by an actor who for many years had experienced the discomfort of having to shave sensitive skin. He insisted that I use FINO Soothe on his face. I have found FINO Soothe to sooth the skin, immediately reducing the unsightly bumps of a shaving rash and definitely reducing ingrown hair. It is a wonderful product, and has become a must-have in my make-up kit. I have since started using FINO Soothe on myself after
waxing bikini and underarms areas with equally good results.”
Nadine Prigge

I am a Muslim woman in my twenties. Because of my religion, I have to remove all bodily hair. When new growth occurs, it is usually uncomfortable, very itchy and inflamed. FINO Soothe really alleviates the problem. It soothes the skin and prevents those nasty bumps and irritations.”
Rahima

FINO Soothe has a wonderful consistency with just the right amount of oil and creaminess, and I like the fact that it does not have an overpowering aroma, which would interfere with my perfume. The product is gentle and immediately reduces inflammation and irritation, and I would not use anything else after shaving. In addition, I like the smooth feel of FINO Soothe on my skin, and I have even used it as a body lotion for my legs, as it is not greasy and absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving the skin soft and moisturized.” I think FINO Soothe is a wonderful product, and I welcome the introduction of a specialist product of this sort onto the market. Well done to the creators of FINO Soothe!”
Moira Campbell
Development Consultant

"I'm a Muslim woman and can't use products that contain alcohol or animal byproducts - so FINO Soothe is perfect for me to use after hair removal. I use it on my face after threading and also under my arms after shaving. FINO Soothe takes away the redness and leaves my skin soft and smooth. I would recommend FINO Soothe to any Muslim women who remove body hair and are looking for a safe and effective product to soothe the skin and help prevent ingrown hair and bumps."
Mymona, CT, South Africa

As a make-up artist on a daily television show, keeping the skin of the actors blemish free and in a good condition is a constant challenge. FINO Soothe MAN has honestly prevented the male actors from getting ingrown hair and razor bump & burn due to shaving every day. They even buy it for home use as well!
I highly recommend it to all!

I would like to share my delight and almost disbelief at how fantastic FINO Soothe is.  I have been applying it a few times a day and the bumps etc. are radically improved. I'm looking forward to venturing into a swimming costume this summer.
