THE TWO CLOCKS

Most moisturiser asks you to choose. Shine gone now but tight by lunch, or a barrier built over weeks that does nothing this morning. The same statements, measured on both clocks.

WHY WE MADE THIS

“One thing I’ve never understood is why moisturiser made for men is always so thin, almost apologetic. I wanted this one to have some substance to it. Something that feels like it was made for a man, not borrowed from somewhere else.

The weight comes from what’s in it. It’s dense with active ingredients, which is why a single step does most of what your skin needs.

The one thing I was sure about is that it had to absorb the moment it touches the skin. That’s what men care about most, and I’m the same. So however substantial it feels going on, it’s gone in almost straight away, and you’re left matte and comfortable for the rest of the day.

What surprised me most is how good it looks. Skin that photographs well, and reads better in the room.

And you can put it on every morning knowing what’s in it is genuinely good for your skin, which matters more than most men realise.”

    Isn't oily, settles into the skin nicely, and leaves my face feeling refreshed. The metal tube feels distinctive and a bit more premium than the usual moisturisers out there. Does exactly what you want a moisturiser to do without being fussy.

    Saw a real difference after a few weeks

    I’ll be honest, I was sceptical about spending £44 on a moisturiser.

    But after two to three weeks of using it, I can see a clear difference. It’s evened out a couple of dry patches I could never shift, and my skin genuinely looks better.

    I really like the mattifying finish too.

    I’m convinced now that it’s absolutely worth it.
