Great Product that Works
Face Moisturizers, and cosmetics in general, are typically not available or made with men in mind, so it is refreshing to find a beauty-type product and product line that caters to the male of the species.<br /><br />Gentlehomme is certainly on to something pleasantly surprising, with a face moisturizer that contains many of the ingredients you might find in higher end products for women, such as collagen, oils, Vitamin E (tocopherol), butters, and stem cells.  The ingredient list is rather exhaustive, with probably more than you need, but I have to appreciate a product that is well thought out.  In terms of just the 'butters' and 'oils', the face moisturizer includes Cocoa Seed Butter, Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil, Bitter Orange Flower Oil, and Jojoba Seed Oil.<br /><br />Unlike a few other reviews I've read of this product, I did not find the product to be greasy at all.  It absorbed rather quickly into the skin, leaving it soft and supple, with a slight glow, without being shiny.  It does have a thick, white, whipped consistency to it, similar to other facial creams out there, such as Noxzema.  Also being four ounces, rather than two ounces, which is more standard for facial creams, makes this a pretty good value, overall.<br /><br />Also unlike other comments that I've read, I did not find the Neroli scent overpowering or unlikeable at all.  With that said, however, I found the smell to be very faint and more non-descript than of Neroli (Bitter Orange).  The fragrance is very light--not necessarily masculine as one might expect, but almost indistinguishable from most other products out there--not offensive but not remarkable.  My nose is rather sensitive to scents and I would have difficulty picking this one out in a crowd.<br /><br />I like that I didn't have any negative reaction(s) to the product--no burning or stinging, rash or inflammation, and the moisturizer held up all day and all night without any discomfort or facial skin drying.  It applies easily and a little of it can go a long way.<br /><br />I would like to know a little bit more about the stem cells that are used in this formulation, as the literature and description is rather empty.  Stem cells are supposed to help renew and rejuvenate the skin to make it look younger.  Are these plant or fruit stem cells (most likely) or human stem cells?  Live or extracts?  Similar questions about the type of collagen that is used might also be beneficial, or worthy of a more detailed description or commentary.<br /><br />It's advertised promise to moisturize, revitalize and hydrate seems spot-on.  I rate this product as an excellent choice in the limited field of men's facial moisturizers.<br /><br />Recommended.  Made in China for Gentlehomme, LLC, U.S.A.  Certified Vegan.
