Fur Shave Cream
Benefits
Promise: Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Olive Oil-Packed with anti-aging antioxidants and hydrating squalene, it moisturizes while providing a buffer between your razor and your skin.
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains gluconolactone.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

|---|---|---|---|
| gluconolactone | HIGH |  |  |

What does the product description say?
Shave Cream
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, saccharide isomerate.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: c13-16 isoparaffin, cannabis sativa seed oil.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| glycerin | HIGH | | |
| gluconolactone | HIGH | | |
| althaea officinalis root extract | HIGH | | |
Other benefit: Evens skin tone
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: gluconolactone
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| gluconolactone | HIGH | | |
Other benefit: Exfoliation
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: gluconolactone.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| gluconolactone | HIGH | | |
| allantoin | LOW | | |
Other benefit: Anti-oxidation
This product contains antioxidants (gluconolactone) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| gluconolactone | MEDIUM | | |
| althaea officinalis root extract | LOW | | |
| bisabolol | LOW | | |
