The problem — moisturisers that are mostly water
Aloe first, water twenty-first
Ingredients are listed strongest first, so you can check this yourself. Aloe leaf juice opens the list. Aqua doesn't turn up until number twenty-one.

Most men want a moisturiser that works and then gets out of the way. This is that.

The problem — your face still stinging after a shave
Bisabolol comes from chamomile and it's in here for one reason: shaving leaves skin feeling raw, and this helps it feel comfortable again.
The problem — looking shiny at 10am
Light enough to disappear in seconds. No film, no shine, nothing to wait around for before you put a shirt on.
That's genuinely enough for a whole face. More won't absorb, it'll just sit there.
After washing or once your skin has settled from shaving. Don't put it on a face you've just dragged a blade across.
Neck and jawline too. It's the bit everyone skips and the bit that shows age first.

The base of the whole cream, in place of the water most moisturisers are built on. It's why the texture is light without feeling like nothing's there.
Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate, which are different sizes of the same thing. The smaller one goes further in, the larger one holds water at the surface.
A well-known soothing ingredient, here because shaving is the single thing that makes men's skin feel worst. It's what makes this usable straight after.
Yes, that's part of why bisabolol is in the formula. Give your skin a minute to settle after the razor, then apply as normal. It helps skin feel comfortable rather than tight.
Yes. Work it into the skin underneath rather than over the top of the hair — that's where the dryness and itch actually come from.
Yes, and most people don't. Neck and jawline show dryness and age before the face does, and they get the least attention.
It shouldn't. The texture is light and absorbs in seconds. If you're getting shine, you're using too much — a pea-sized amount covers a whole face.
Probably not the best fit. It's formulated for normal to dry skin, and oilier skin usually wants something lighter. We'd rather tell you now than have you send it back.
There are two forms in here, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate. They're different molecule sizes. The smaller travels further into the skin's surface layers, the larger sits on top holding water. Using both covers more ground than either alone.
Cucumber first, then lemon, green thyme and a bit of bitter citrus peel. Clean and fresh rather than aftershave-ish, and it doesn't hang around.
It's an international standard for natural cosmetics, certified here by Ecocert Greenlife. It covers where ingredients come from, how the formula is built and how the product is made. 99% of this formula is of natural origin and 22% is organic.
Yes to both. No animal-derived ingredients, and neither the finished product nor its ingredients are tested on animals. It's also gluten free and nut free.
Thoughtfully formulated skincare and haircare designed to make your daily routine feel simple, effective and enjoyable.
