This is the one I use on most of my residents, it's good for all skin
types, and smells good and fresh too. The Tesco own version's not bad
either. In fact, now I think of it, most of the homes I've worked in
have used it.

Does it have polypentapeptides in it? Everything 'must' be
pentasomething this year, or so the adverts keep telling us.

Pentodes were a 1930s thang, IIRC. Pentangle was a 70s prog rock band
(but active in the 80s from my memory).

Although the WWWeb says that they're a folk-rock/folk-jazz band dating
back to 1967... Hmm.

Pythogoras's lot were the first to make a proper study of pentagons.
The Pentagon in the USA was built in the 1940s.

Seems that `penta' stuff is often fashionable, not just `right here
right now'.

It has lemon 'n' lime in it, what else could matter?!

I have sensitive skin. Additives like that are usually contra-indicated
in the case of my skin - lemon and lime sounds a bit astringent, and
it's astringents that I'm wanting to avoid. But the advert presents the
lemon and lime component and mere perfume and I'd rather have something
unperfumed. I don't much like that sort of smell in any case.

A lot of the special preparations to be `kind to the skin' make my skin
go pink and tender (or worse - some hurt like hell. Tea tree oil and
vitamin E - both are rather painful) - especially on the bits of my face
that get shaved.
