Some of the biggest names are looking to carry on that success to men's skincare after creating classic products in the women's skincare space. That's the case with Clinique Butter, a best-selling star body lotion with its comfortable skin feel and gentle formula. Later, Clinique launched a men's version of butter, Superior Emollient Lotion, which is similar in composition.
Like Genius Butter, Superior Emollient Lotion comes in two types. One is a moisturizer with oily butter, which is designed for dry skin and has a smooth and dewy texture. The other is an emollient gel, which is alcohol-free, but has a light and dry skin feel, which is very suitable for oily skin, gentle and moisturizing. The texture of the two is different, but the effect is the same, and both are mainly moisturizing. Although there are many other active ingredients, the content is low and has no obvious effect. Both of these products do not contain fragrance, they are both "plain", slightly pungent, and may cause discomfort to some users. In addition, whether it is genius butter or excellent emollient lotion, the formula has nothing to do with butter, the pale yellow hue of the lotion comes from the colorant, and it is just like butter.
As an emulsion, the excellent moisturizing effect on dry skin is limited, and if you choose a men's moisturizing cream in autumn and winter, it is enough to moisturize. Emollient gel is more suitable for most men's skin types and is more popular, but it is effective and suitable for young users who do not have skin problems. Mature men may want to try the Youth Repair Lotion, which contains palmitoyl oligopeptides to help relax muscles and reduce the appearance of expression lines. However, this product sacrifices Clinique's usual mild properties and contains several risky ingredients that can cause breakouts or cause allergies.
