Original Moisturiser

A competent but unremarkable basic moisturizer undermined by fragrance overload and missing clinical actives. The efficacy score of 3.3 reflects a formula that delivers hydration through glycerin and aloe vera—both solid humectants—but lacks any advanced actives, peptides, or antioxidants that would justify premium positioning. The fragrance blend (Parfum + Limonene + Linalool + Citronellol + Geraniol + Citral) is excessive for a men's moisturizer and introduces unnecessary irritation risk, particularly for sensitive skin despite marketing claims. Phenoxyethanol is pH-dependent and requires acidic conditions (pH 3-5) to work effectively, but no pH data is provided—suggesting potential preservative efficacy concerns. The emulsifier system (Sorbitan Stearate + Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate) is adequate but conventional. Glycerin concentration is unknown but likely modest given its mid-list placement. The 96% natural origin claim is marketing spin: water, glycerin, and plant oils inflate this number while synthetic preservatives and fragrance chemicals are still present. For a daily moisturizer targeting dry/normal skin, this formula is functional but offers no competitive advantage over drugstore alternatives at half the price. If you're looking for skincare anti aging products or vegan skincare, this is worth evaluating.
