Shaving is a daily habit for many men, and improper operation is prone to small wounds and even redness, swelling and stinging. In addition, the cuticle may also be damaged by the scraping of the blade and the cleaning and irritation of the shaving cream, resulting in localized dryness and roughness. Therefore, soothing and moisturizing are essential for aftershave care. At the same time, many men prefer oil-controlling facial cleansers, which will cause water loss and skin irritation while vigorously scraping away oil. For some users, toners or aftershaves are more focused on astringent sedation and secondary cleansing, while lotions or creams are the best choice for moisturizing and further soothing the entire face, such as Clarins.

Men's Botanical Moisturizing Gels and Creams are more similar in structure, with the former being thinner and more refreshing, while the latter is more moisturizing. Both are fortified with purslane and galangal extracts, which are antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and calcium chloride to astringent and sedative. For dryness and roughness, the two products contain a variety of moisturizers and emollients that can be improved to a certain extent. It is worth mentioning that Clarins has abandoned the "favorite" of men's skincare products - alcohol, and uses a low-oil formula to make the skin feel dry and non-sticky. At the same time, there are not too many irritants, the overall formula is mild, and the herbal fragrance is fresh and elegant, these two products are more comfortable to use, and they are also enough to soothe and moisturize. In addition, the extensibility of the moisturizing gel is good, soybeans can be applied to the whole face, it is recommended not to squeeze out too much at one time, and the amount can also be reduced in non-dry seasons.
