Payot Optimale Soothing Aftershave Lotion

Payot Optimale Soothing Aftershave Lotion instantly and lastingly soothes the hot, uncomfortable feeling that shaving can leave behind. Enriched with white willow bark extract, it helps limit ingrown hairs after shaving and smooths the skin's texture. The skin feels calm, fresh and comfortable, and its ultra-fresh water-gel texture carries a woody scent.

Key Benefits

• Instant comfort: calms the feeling of irritation right after shaving.
• Fewer ingrown hairs: helps limit their appearance after shaving.
• Smoother skin: gently lifts away dead surface cells and refines skin texture.
• Less visible redness: helps limit the look of redness after shaving.
• Fresh water-gel: an ultra-fresh texture with a woody scent, made in France.

Key Ingredients

White willow bark extract, a plant source of salicylic acid, gently lifts away dead cells at the skin's surface, smooths its texture and helps limit ingrown hairs. Smithsonite, a stone rich in zinc, helps keep the skin looking healthy and balanced. Arnica, known for its soothing properties, comforts skin that feels sensitive or tight after a close shave.

We know you need your look for the next drop. Items stocked by Glitz Theory are fulfilled from our Virginia Beach studio within 24 hours (Monday–Friday). Partner-shipped items follow the dispatch timeline shown on their product pages and do not qualify for our Virginia Beach dispatch promise.

Fulfillment vs. Transit — Know the Difference

• Fulfillment — For Glitz Theory-stocked items, the time to hand-select, quality-check, and pack your gear is 24 hours (Mon–Fri).
• Transit — The time the carrier takes to deliver your package.
• Total delivery time = fulfillment + transit.

Glitz Theory-stocked orders placed after 11 AM EST on Friday begin fulfillment the following Monday. Partner-shipped products follow the dispatch timeline on their product pages.

Shipping Tiers

For eligible Glitz Theory-stocked items, our published transit estimates are:

• Standard — 3–7 business days
• Expedited — 2–3 business days
• Overnight — 1 business day (order must be placed by 11 AM EST)

Glitz Theory-stocked items ship from Virginia Beach, VA. Partner-shipped items may ship from elsewhere and may have different dispatch timelines. Check the product page before ordering. Available shipping options and rates are shown at checkout based on your order and location.

Festival Prep — Plan Ahead

We recommend ordering at least 10 business days before your event to account for possible carrier delays. Check the product page for partner-shipped dispatch times, and allow for transit as well. Check our homepage for specific deadlines for Lost Lands, EDC, and Project Glow drops.

Cutting it close? Check available shipping options at checkout and email us at info@glitztheory.com before ordering. We can help you plan, but cannot guarantee partner dispatch or carrier delivery dates.

Tracking

• Tracking is sent by email once a shipping label is created.
• Track your order through the carrier link in your shipping confirmation.

• Check with neighbors and building management first.
• File a claim directly with the carrier using your tracking number.
• Contact us at info@glitztheory.com — we'll do everything we can to help resolve it.

We want you to absolutely love your Glitz Theory gear. If the vibe isn't right or the fit is off, no stress. For eligible Glitz Theory-stocked items, we offer a 45-day return window for store credit. Some partner-shipped products have different return terms, shown on their product pages. Check your item before ordering. For example, the partner-shipped Good Vibes JUMBO FlowStar follows its listed 30-day partner return and refund terms, not this 45-day store-credit policy.

The following terms apply to eligible Glitz Theory-stocked items, unless the product page specifies different partner return terms.

• Eligible returns are issued as a Digital Gift Card within 72 hours of your return being processed.
• Your store credit never expires.
• Gift Cards are sent to the email address on your original order.

Return Shipping

• For eligible Glitz Theory-stocked US orders, we provide a prepaid return label.
• A flat $6.99 label fee is deducted from your store credit.
