BANDIDO Istanbul After Shave Cream Cologne, large 350 ml size
Bandido Istanbul is a men's after shave cream cologne that reduces the burning sensation, disinfects nicks and leaves a warm, oriental scent. The cream complements daily care and reduces the burning sensation after shaving. The special formula helps reduce the negative effects of shaving: the antiseptic it contains – denatured alcohol – helps prevent infection of nicks and acts as an astringent that reduces skin irritation; the manufacturer also mentions menthol, used to soothe irritated skin. The Istanbul fragrance components (coumarin, cinnamal, benzyl alcohol) suggest a warmer, oriental character.
Who it is for
- Men who find alcohol-based spray colognes too harsh – the cream acts more gently and moisturises.
- Fans of warm, spicy after shave scents.
- Barbers – as a creamy finish massaged into the skin after shaving, especially in winter when the skin is drier.
- Those who shave daily and want to reduce burning and redness.
How it works
-
Alcohol Denat. – an antiseptic against infection of nicks that also tightens the pores and reduces irritation.
-
Panthenol – provitamin B5, moisturises and helps the skin recover after the razor.
-
Tocopheryl Acetate – a form of vitamin E that protects the skin from environmental stress.
-
Paraffinum Liquidum, Hydrogenated Polydecene – emollients that lock in moisture and leave the skin smooth.
-
Coumarin, Cinnamal, Hydroxycitronellal, Benzyl Alcohol – fragrance components that create the warm Istanbul scent.
How to use
- After shaving, rinse your face and wait for the skin to cool down.
- Pat the skin dry with a towel.
- Apply a small amount of cream to the face, avoiding the eye area.
- Gently massage in until fully absorbed.
- If needed, also apply to the neck.
Tips
- The clear Bandido Shaving Gel Red helps you achieve a smooth shave without micro-nicks – you can see the contours and the skin.
- If you want a similar warm scent, but in a more intense spray, try Bandido Mexico City cologne.
- Apply the cream to completely dry skin – on damp skin it becomes diluted and absorbs less well.

Frequently asked questions
How does a cream cologne differ from a spray cologne?
A cream cologne is massaged into the skin and, in addition to antiseptic alcohol, contains moisturising panthenol and emollients, so it acts more gently than alcohol-based spray colognes.
How is Bandido Istanbul after shave cream used?
Pat dry the rinsed and cooled skin, apply a small amount of cream while avoiding the eyes and massage in until absorbed; if needed, also apply to the neck. On damp skin the cream becomes diluted, so apply it to dry skin.
What does this cologne smell like?
The Istanbul scent is warm, spicy and oriental in character – created by coumarin, cinnamal, hydroxycitronellal and benzyl alcohol.
Is it suitable for barbershop use?
Yes, the 350 ml size also suits barbershops: barbers use it as a creamy finish, massaging it into the client's skin after shaving, especially in winter when the skin is drier.
