Owners love the lightweight, non-greasy formula with refreshing scent and visible skin benefits, though commitment to consistent daily use varies among buyers.

Brand claims4/5 true5 promises checked

The marketing claims are largely supported by buyer data—the product genuinely delivers on texture, non-greasy feel, and immediate sensory experience. However, the claim about "waking tired-looking skin" depends heavily on consistent daily use, which the data shows varies significantly among buyers, and environmental protection claims lack any supporting evidence in the reviews.

The verdict

What the panel makes of it.

The AI panel ranks this third among men's face moisturisers, and the 4.6-star rating from over 3,000 buyers confirms broad approval for its lightweight, non-greasy feel and refreshing scent, though visible improvements to tired or textured skin depend on consistent daily application rather than occasional use.

In their words

Still love it - morning and night. My wife bought me a bottle for Christmas last year. In my 41yrs I’ve never been able to stick to a skin care product or routine BUT I simply love the way this feels on my face.

My husband is not really that diligent with his skincare. I have to remind him to use his sunscreen that has almost become a habit…almost. He likes using facial creams when he remembers to use it. When I ask if he put on his facial moisturizer after showering, he’ll sometimes say no and ask me to put it on for him. He loves to be pampered lol. Anyway, this one he likes from Kiehl’s.
