Recipe For Men Anti-Shine Moisturizer (75ml)

If your skin produces enough oil to skip moisturizer entirely - you're wrong, and this is why. Oily skin still needs hydration. Skipping moisturizer actually triggers more oil production as the skin tries to compensate for the moisture it's missing. The Recipe for Men Anti-Shine Moisturizer is built specifically for oily and combination skin types that need hydration and oil control at the same time. Silica Microspheres absorb excess sebum on contact, the Sebustop complex regulates oil production beneath the surface, and Kombuchka Tea (a fermented black tea extract rich in organic acids) refines the skin's surface texture and supports long-term balance. Sodium Hyaluronate keeps skin hydrated throughout, so you're not trading comfort for control. A purpose-built solution for skin that's been underserved by standard moisturizers. 100% vegan, produced in Sweden.

Who's It For

Built specifically for oily and combination skin types that struggle with excess shine, enlarged pores, and the feeling that every moisturizer makes their skin look greasier. The Anti-Shine Moisturizer is also a strong choice for those living in warmer climates or humid environments where shine tends to appear faster. If you've been avoiding moisturizer because everything feels too heavy, this is the product that changes that habit.

Key Benefits

• Instant shine control on application - Silica Microspheres absorb excess sebum the moment the moisturizer touches the skin, delivering an immediate matte finish that's visible within minutes
• Regulates oil production beneath the surface - the Sebustop complex (Cinnamon Bark, Burnet Root, and Ginger Root Extracts) works progressively to reduce sebum output at the source, so shine control improves with consistent daily use
• Hydrates without triggering more oil - Sodium Hyaluronate and Squalane deliver lightweight, non-comedogenic hydration that satisfies the skin's moisture needs without prompting it to overproduce sebum in response
• Refines skin texture over time - Kombuchka Tea (Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment) is rich in organic acids and antioxidants that support cell turnover, minimize pores, and improve overall skin clarity with regular use
• Antioxidant protection built in - Vitamin E (Tocopherol), Sunflower Seed Oil, and Squalene provide daily protection from environmental aggressors including pollution and UV stress
• Skin-balancing botanical support - Marsdenia Condurango Bark Extract works alongside the Sebustop complex to support a calmer, more balanced skin environment
• 100% vegan - produced in Sweden with no parabens 

Key Ingredients

• Silica - ultra-fine mineral microspheres that absorb excess sebum on contact and create a soft-focus blurring effect on the skin surface, delivering an immediate matte, pore-minimizing finish
• Sebustop Complex (Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract, Sanguisorba Officinalis Root Extract, Zingiber Officinale Root Extract) - a trio of botanical extracts that work together to regulate sebum production beneath the skin's surface, delivering progressive oil control that builds with consistent use
• Kombuchka Tea (Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment) - a fermented black tea extract rich in organic acids, B vitamins, and antioxidants. Supports cell renewal, refines skin texture, minimizes the appearance of pores, and helps maintain a balanced skin microbiome
• Sodium Hyaluronate - the deeply penetrating form of Hyaluronic Acid that delivers lasting hydration without adding weight, shine, or congestion to oily or combination skin
• Squalane - a stable, lightweight form of Squalene that provides non-comedogenic moisture and supports the skin barrier without contributing to excess oil or blocked pores
• Jojoba Esters - derived from Jojoba wax, these plant-based esters closely mimic the skin's natural sebum. They condition and soften skin without triggering oil overproduction, making them ideal for oily skin formulations
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol) - a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from oxidative stress caused by pollution and environmental aggressors, while supporting overall skin health and condition 
• Marsdenia Condurango Bark Extract - a South American botanical with skin-balancing properties that works alongside the Sebustop complex to support a calmer, more regulated skin environment 

How To Use

Apply a small amount to clean skin after cleansing, smoothing evenly across the face and neck. Use morning and/or evening. In the morning, follow with SPF as the final step. For enhanced oil control, pair with the Recipe for Men Facial Cleanser in the morning and consider adding the Instant Recharge Face Serum with Niacinamide as a pore-refining step before moisturizing. 

Why MASC Recommends This

The Anti-Shine Moisturizer solves a problem that oily skin has long been let down on - most oil-control products either mattify without hydrating, or hydrate in a way that makes shine worse. This one separates the two jobs cleanly: Silica handles surface shine instantly, Sebustop tackles oil production at the source progressively, and Hyaluronic Acid keeps the skin hydrated without adding to the problem. Kombuchka Tea brings a genuinely interesting active to the formula that goes beyond standard oil control into long-term skin refinement. A well-constructed moisturizer that actually understands oily skin.
