Anyone ever used either of these things: Complete Face & Head Care Lotion - Matte For Men Face moisturizer with SPF 20 - Award Winning- Double Duty Face Moisturizer-Jack Black
Any good? I need a moisturizer with a sunscreen and these are the top candidates. I've been using some other Jack Black products for a while and I really like them, but I also wanted to check about the Matte stuff too.
i nicked a sample at a friends house while using his restroom.. just seemed sticky or chemically to me or something.. for some reason i just wasn't feeling it.. i do like the jack black line though.. just not my bag.
edit.. i tried the jack black at my friends.. i havn't heard of the matte line.. looks promising though..
That's odd. I got the impression that the jack black stuff was pretty natural. Maybe it was just the spf?Quote:

+1 on Stu recommendation. I don't know about ones that contain sunscreen, but Trumper's unscented moisturizer is great (pre or post shave). I use mine as a post-shave.Quote:

Thanks, but the spf is a must
I don't use moisturizers, they are just overpriced oil/water emulsions. I do use my own mix of oils to condition my face.
I like the Sharps products. sharpsusa.com Their moisturizer is really nice
Their moisturizer has an SPF of 15. This is fine for just driving to work, working, and driving home. Personally, I like to use more sunscreen over this if I plan on being outside for a long time.
Im new here and saw your post. Ive been using the product you asked about...Matte For Men Complete Face and Head Care Lotion for 2 years now. Here's why its better than the products mentioned...
1) Its a moisturizer, SPF 25, and shine reducer all is one.
2) Its not sticky like other spf products
When I found the line they had just 2 products but they must be doing something right as theve grown to 7 and were just in the NY Times in a story:

The product is worth a look...
yes.. i like the rest of the jack black products.. just not the one with spf..
also.. i recently tried the sharps facial scrub and love it.. i really want to try the rest of their line..
I can highly recommend Peter Thomas Roth Ultra-Lite Oil-Free Sunblock SPF 30. A bit pricey, but I've been using it for years and it has great water-binding properties, and a thin non-oily finish that you won't notice minutes after applying.
Correction: actually, they're calling it "Uber-dry Sunscreen SPF 30" now.
to revive this thread.. i found a tube of body shop moisturizer with spf under the bathroom sink this morning.. i havn't a chance to shave yet and will probably wait till noon or 1pm when the day is at it's hottest..
i did throw on the moisturizer anyway though.. it's very light and lovely.. and i'm liking it so far..
however.. only an application after a fresh shave can really tell..
anyway.. it's from the body shop.. "soy and calendula soothing moisturizer with spf 15" says it's for dry/sensitive skin.. i have neither.. but so far i'm digging it.
Going a little off-topic here, but Stu, care to post a review of this product in the review section?Quote:

I should mention though that my skin is a combination of dry/sensitive. Thanks again!
No worries, glad I could help..! :)
I personally prefer Trumpers sandalwood skin food as an AS balm. Theres no reason why you couldnt use the moisturiser, its just a little bit too greasy to have on my face all day. Just my personal preference!
For dry skin it could work pretty well though.
I guess all I can suggest is grab some and give it a try! If you like it, great! :) And if not you've got a really good product there to use as a pre-shave lotion.
Let me know what you think of it if you get some!
I agree with you on the skin food, although my preference is the coral. It works a treat with the Rose soap.Quote:

Only problem is that if you have an active club life your face will glow green in the blacklight.
I very much enjoy Nivia Q10 with SPF 15 in it..little SPF in yer AS doesn't hurt :-)
