Recipe For Men Facial Moisturizer+ (75ml)

Some skin needs more. The Recipe for Men Facial Moisturizer + is a richer, deeper-working daily moisturizer formulated for dry, sensitive, or dehydrated skin that needs sustained nourishment rather than just surface hydration. Pentavitin (Saccharide Isomerate) delivers clinically proven 12-hour moisture binding, Shea Butter provides immediate richness and comfort, and a botanical trio of Olive Leaf Extract, Calendula, and Bladder Wrack Seaweed brings antioxidant protection and long-term skin support. The texture is noticeably more nourishing than the standard Facial Moisturizer but absorbs well without leaving a heavy or greasy feel. Built for skin that's been asking for more. 100% vegan, produced in Sweden.

Who's It For

The Facial Moisturizer + is ideal for dry, sensitive, or dehydrated skin types that find standard moisturizers insufficient - particularly in colder months, harsh climates, or after prolonged sun and wind exposure. It's also a strong choice for those with post-shave sensitivity or skin that tends to feel tight and uncomfortable throughout the day. If the standard Recipe for Men Facial Moisturizer feels too light for your skin, this is the natural step up.

Key Benefits

• 12-hour clinically proven hydration - Pentavitin (Saccharide Isomerate) binds directly to the skin's keratin, locking in moisture for up to 12 hours per application so skin stays comfortable all day without reapplication
• Immediate richness and comfort - Shea Butter delivers fast-acting nourishment and softness from the first application, making this noticeably more comfortable than a standard lightweight moisturizer on dry or tight-feeling skin
• Protects against daily environmental damage - Olive Leaf Extract and Vitamin E (Tocopherol and Tocopheryl Acetate) provide a meaningful antioxidant shield against pollution, UV stress, and free radical damage
• Soothes and calms sensitive skin - Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract is one of the most trusted botanicals for reducing redness and irritation, making this a reliable daily option for reactive or post-shave sensitive skin
• Supports barrier health long-term - Soy Oil, Beta-Sitosterol, and Squalene work together to reinforce the skin's lipid barrier, improving resilience and moisture retention over time
• Marine mineral support - Bladder Wrack Seaweed (Fucus Vesiculosus Extract) delivers a concentrated dose of minerals and antioxidants that support overall skin health and vitality
• 100% vegan - produced in Sweden with no parabens 

Key Ingredients

• Saccharide Isomerate (Pentavitin) - a skin-identical carbohydrate complex that binds directly to the skin's keratin proteins, delivering clinically proven hydration for up to 12 hours. One of the most effective long-duration moisturizing actives available in skincare
• Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter) - a rich, deeply nourishing emollient that softens and conditions dry skin immediately. Provides a protective lipid layer that reduces moisture loss throughout the day
• Olive Leaf Extract (Olea Europaea Leaf Extract) - a potent antioxidant-rich botanical extract that helps protect the skin from oxidative stress caused by environmental aggressors, while supporting overall skin health and tone
• Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract - a well-established soothing botanical with anti-inflammatory and calming properties. Reduces redness, soothes irritation, and is particularly beneficial for sensitive or reactive skin
• Fucus Vesiculosus Extract (Bladder Wrack Seaweed) - a marine-derived ingredient rich in minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants that supports skin vitality, elasticity, and overall health with regular use
• Sodium Hyaluronate - the deeply penetrating form of Hyaluronic Acid that draws moisture into the skin and works alongside Pentavitin to deliver multi-layer, lasting hydration
• Squalene - a naturally derived ingredient that mirrors the skin's own sebum, supporting barrier function and preventing moisture loss without congesting pores
• Tocopherol and Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) - a dual Vitamin E system that provides both immediate antioxidant protection and longer-term skin conditioning benefits throughout the formula 

How To Use

Apply a small to medium amount to clean skin after cleansing, smoothing evenly across the face and neck. Use morning and/or evening. A little goes further than you might expect - start with a small amount and build if needed. In the morning, follow with SPF as the final step. For very dry or dehydrated skin, layer over the Instant Recharge Face Serum for an enhanced active hydration routine before applying the Moisturizer +.

Why MASC Recommends This

The Facial Moisturizer + earns its place as the richer sibling in the Recipe for Men moisturizer lineup because it's genuinely more than just a heavier version of the standard formula. Pentavitin is a clinically validated active with real 12-hour hydration data behind it, and the botanical trio of Olive Leaf, Calendula, and Bladder Wrack adds a layer of antioxidant and soothing support that dry and sensitive skin particularly benefits from. If your skin has been telling you it needs more, this is the answer.
