Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Cien Men - Men's care club face cream 2 in 1" can work well for skin moisturization. This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy.

Emollients in this formulation (caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone, cetearyl alcohol, undecane and dicaprylyl carbonate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
