What owners single out
The lack of sun protection aligns with video reviewers' concern about the product missing SPF coverage for daily use.
In their words
“I'm writing this for my husband, but we both love this product! We both have very sensitive skin and will breakout easily with heavy products. He loves that it has no scent at all. This moisturizer is super light-weight and doesn't leave my skin or his skin greasy at all. My husband was using Clinique's men moisturizer before this, and he's definitely hooked on this one now! :) I like stealing it ”

“I have used this product for years and always get compliments on my skin and I am Turing 75,, but I have one major complaint bring back the spf 15 additive or come back with a product that protects you from the sun. I have had to go to other products for this protection. If you are really concerned about men’s skin care this should be a number one priority!”
