Product summary

"Shiseido - Men Skin Empowering Cream" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Shiseido - Men Skin Empowering Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (carnosine, erythritol and glycerin) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (paraffinum liquidum, phytosteryl macadamiate, cera microcristallina, dimethicone and peg/ppg-14/7 dimethyl ether) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e and titanium dioxide
