Promise: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
The beard, shave and facial oil is enriched with Vitamins A and E, Candeia Tree extract and Omegas 3 and 6 to replenish moisture and smooth coarse bristles for effortless grooming.
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| linolenic acid | HIGH | | |
| helianthus annuus seed oil | HIGH | | |
| glycine soja oil | HIGH | | |

| Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect | |
