- RobertVerified Purchase
Love it! Goes on easy, not shiny and works in well. Skin feels good and mixes well with a sunscreen I use. I love the size / style of it. Super compact, easy for on the go. Most creams I use as a guy are bulky and jars. This one is great for travel, throw in the car and put on on the go.
- Kevin BongVerified Purchase
I’m pretty picky about what I use on my face, but this has become my go-to and part of my daily routine. It feels great after shaving, moisturizes well, not greasy, and doesn’t leave my skin feeling heavy- its very light! I also tend to have some redness, and I’ve noticed my face looks calmer and more even since I started using it. Really happy with it.
- MollyVerified Purchase
Bought this product for my husband and he absolutely LOOOOOVES it!!! Finally a product that doesn’t scare him away from maintaining great skin.
- Mike J

- Cooper StainbrookVerified Purchase
Great product. I don’t usually like having things on my skin, so am skeptical of moisturizers. But this one rubs in and doesn’t even feel like it’s there. Highly recommend
- MarkVerified Purchase
So smooth going on, no grease or shine. Love that its helping with my wrinkles too

BEST FOR OILY SKIN
"I used to blot my forehead before every afternoon meeting. After about a week on Base Layer, I just stopped. My skin stays matte all day and it doesn't feel dry or tight."
