Barc Palacinka Product Rating Guide
Tester #1: Hispanic Male (Dominican) who shaves with a triple blade razor 2-3 times a week and suffers from razor bumps (ingrown hairs).
"This was really effective. After shaving I used for just one week and saw great results in my skin. The bumps that usually popped up on my lower chin were significantly reduced and my skin was very well moisturized which was great. I began using everyday in place of a face lotion and noticed that I if I did get a bump, it would virtually disappear just a day later. Great pump packaging and it was easy to take to the gym/sauna where I'm a regular." T.H.

Tester #2: African-American women who shaves underarms with a triple blade razor 2x week and suffers from occasional ingrown hairs.
"I really liked this product. I used it after every shave and the bumps, if they did appear were tiny, tiny, and then disappeared a day later thanks to this glycolic acid formulation which was super effective but also gentle. I didn't get any rashes or irritations after using it. It's a very light textured cream with no fragrance so it doesn't interfere with other body lotions, deodorant or any other body products I used (and yes I use more than a few). I like the fresh, young packaging and pump dispenser on top as well. This is a great secret weapon in the battle against ingrown hairs ladies!" P.N.

Tester:
“This is a good book for men who really want to know about caring for their bodies and the skin, hair, etc (and more than just the basics!). It was very straightforward and easy to read. The information is presented in a very clear, concise way for a man like me who is busy and does not necessarily have time to read each and every section. Some of the most interesting topics (where I also learned helpful tips) were: what to get from a yearly physical, proper skin care and relevant information on skin cancer, tips on how to shave, a workout regimen, and new age health suggestions. This makes a nice reference book for any man, and in particular boys graduating from high school or college to help them stay on the right track.” T.L

Phyto Palacinka Product Rating Guide
Tester: Multi-Ethnic male (Nigerian & British), mid-20's with thick, curly hair below the ear.
"All I have to say is Wow! This is the best anti frizz product for curly hair I have tried. It's light, non greasy, and it left my hair really soft and shiny. This is simply a god send when I need for my hair to have control and moisture. It's similar in texture to a clear jelly that is absorbed into the hair shaft rather than an oily silicone serum that just coats the hair and makes your hair greasy and lank.
I found that is really did "relax" curls and make it a bit wavier in appearance. I has great results when I let it air dry and when I occasionally used a blow dryer. The most effective way to use it was when I applied after washing and conditioning to soaking wet hair (and did not scrunch it up with a towel). I would then just squeeze with my fingers and then let dry naturally for lush shiny curls!! Love it! – and so does my sister I noticed, who has just like me and has been sneaking it too!" Y.G.

L'Oreal Palacinka Product Rating Guide
L'Oreal Men's Expert Comfort Max Anti-Irritation After Shave Balm with SPF 15 Sunscreen
Tester: West Indian Male (Jamaican) who occasionally suffers from sensitive skin. Shaves 3x week on average with triple-blade razor.
"I really like this a lot. I'm not much of a product person (I've used the same after shave lotion for a while now), but I'm open to change and I actually liked the way the product looked so it was a great product test. After using it, it turns out that I now have a new favorite product! My skin felt wonderful after using this. It wasn't sticky or gummy feeling and it absorbed quickly. I used this on the areas where I shaved and also on my neck area. After regular use I even found that it made my skin softer and smoother (yes my girlfriend said so!) and my skin was never dry. It also goes a long way (I had it quite a while before it was done), and I really liked the smell, which is clean and light, and not like "cologne" at all which I prefer." H.T.

Tend Skin Palacinka Product Rating Guide
Tester: Hispanic (Cuban) with natually curly, coarse hair. Needs to shave almost every day with a triple blade razor to avoid new growth. Suffers from ingrown hairs frequently.
"I was a little skeptical when I read all the "hype" surrounding this product. As a wet shaver I tend to get blotches and the odd ingrowing hair folicle. Despite trying all sorts of methods in the past from tweasers to spot creams I never found an adequate solution. But within 24 hours of applying TENDSKIN I noticed a marked difference with blotches and spots fading. Within a week they had all disappeared. I even found that after regular use, I didn't need to swipe it after every shave - sometimes I just needed to apply it a few times a week. This will always have a permanent home in my bathroom cabinet and travel bag. I recommend this highly- worth every penny!" D.H. Go-->Tend Skin Tend Skin 8 oz
Note:
Must be used on DRY skin. Apply to your face and leave to dry on
the skin for a few minutes. Then apply a moisturizer if needed.

Korres Palacinka Product Rating Guide
Korres Natural Products Absinthe Brushless Shave Cream 5 oz
Tester: Multi-Ethnic (German and African-American) with naturally wavy hair. Shaves 2-3 times a week and has sensitive skin and occasional ingrown hairs.
"The scent and
the texture is really nice- spicy and green at the same time, and very
creamy and smooth. I've never used the Korres line but I am
very impressed with this. The shave cream gave me a
very smooth, irritation free shave, also only a small amount was
needed!" -T.O. Go-->Korres Natural Products Absinthe Brushless Shave Cream 5 oz
