Our story

We didn't join the category. We started it.

In 1972 there was no product made for the bumps that come from shaving coarse, curly hair. Barbers were improvising. High Time mixed the first one, had it clinically tested, and put it on the shelf behind the chair. Fifty-plus years later the formula has not changed, and it is still the tube your barber reaches for.

THE FORMULA

How Bump Stopper Helps Fight Razor Bumps

Razor bumps happen when hair gets trapped beneath the skin. Our formula uses three key ingredients to help free trapped hairs, keep follicles clear, and support smoother skin after shaving.

6%

RESORCIN

HELPS FREE TRAPPED HAIR

Loosens the surface layer around the hair so trapped hairs can break through instead of getting stuck beneath the skin.

2%

BROMELAIN

HELPS CLEAR THE FOLLICLE

Helps break down buildup around the follicle so hair has a clearer path to the surface.

+

VITAMIN A PALMITATE

SUPPORTS SKIN RENEWAL

Supports natural skin turnover to help keep the follicle opening clear between shaves.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Everyone's skin is different, but consistent use after shaving can help support the process. Here's what many users experience as they make Bump Stopper part of their routine.

48 HOURS

Typical experience may vary by skin type, hair type, and shaving routine. Results may vary.

Claims reflect clinical testing and label directions. Individual results vary. For external use only; patch test first.

3 PROBLEMS, 1 SOLUTION

Not every shaving problem is the same. Knowing what is causing the irritation is the first step toward treating it the right way.

A

RAZOR BURN

Immediate Reaction. Heat, redness and stinging across the shaved area within minutes. Usually caused by friction from a dull blade, dry shaving, or too many passes over the same skin.

B

INGROWN HAIR

Delayed Reaction. A single hair that has re-entered the skin, often visible as a dark loop beneath the surface. It can appear days after shaving.

C

RAZOR BUMPS

Inflammation around hairs that become trapped or grow back into the skin. Bumps can be raised, tender, and may leave a dark mark as they heal.

2 PROBLEMS SOLVED BY 1 BRAND
