What is

The Bump Serum?

The Bump Serum is a three-product shaving system that's designed to reduce razor bumps in men of color by cleaning the skin and razor when shaving, decreasing inflammation after shaving, and trapping moisture so hairs can emerge easier through the pores for a smoother next shave. The products and the Bump Kit will eliminate the need for caustic depilatories and other inefficient shaving solutions that lead to damaged skin.

What Makes

The Bump Serum Unique?

People often buy products based on recommendations from trusted sources or compelling marketing. At The Bump Serum, we’re striving to solve a real problem rather than simply sell a product, and razor bumps is a serious problem that’s even challenging to dermatology specialists. Our team comprises of medical doctors and researchers who are trained in the application of treating genetic disorders and inflammation. They’ve helped develop a 3-product shaving system to reduce razor bumps at its core.
