Dr. Barbara Sturm

Face Cream Men

50ML

WORKS NICELY!

My skin doesn't handle heavy creams well and breaks out easily and this cream absorbs into my skin quickly and without a strong scent which I prefer. I use about 2-3 pumps with each application and the bottle lasts a long time. I'd imagine if you had very dry skin or lived in a dry climate this might not be sufficient hydration for you but for my combo skin in humid London it works really well!

Best Use: Hydrating, Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Good but not worth it

This is a lovely moisturiser. I received a 20ml sample in the 2021 advent calendar. My husband used this for a month or so. He said it isn’t very hydrating, I think he has dry skin so would prefer a rich moisturiser. I think it’s slightly too expensive based on the ingredients.

Best Use: Hydrating, Barrier Repair, Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles, Firming, Anti-Aging

Love this

I bought a SpaceNK men’s gift box during the sale and kept some of the products for myself - including this. I’ve been using it in conjunction with the Dr Sturm cleanser and anti-ageing drops. For full price, would I give it 5 stars - probably not, as it is ‘just’ a moisturizer regardless of its high price tag. However, I definitely see some positives when using it - it doesn’t leave my face greasy at all, and it is incredibly quick to absorb. In addition, other products like makeup and sunscreen glide right on top it, so there’s no pilling, and it smooths my skin. I actually love the scent - another reviewer mentioned alcohol, and I guess that’s what it is, since honestly the scent always reminds me of a gin and tonic! Anyway, it’s lightweight, moisturizing, and absorbs quickly and I feel like the product itself and the container it’s in are high quality. If you can find it on sale, it’s worth it to try for men or women!

Basic

Similarly to the review below, I purchase this for my partner and can’t say that either one of us were blown away by the cream and/or the results. For the price paid it certainly did not deliver as I can’t say either one of us noticed it’s purported benefits.

Didn’t become favorite

I got this cream for my husband and as he uses it very seldom I started using it myself. And I actually understood why it didn’t take his breath away. It is very normal. Yes, it has nice very light texture (moisturizing though). It absorbs quickly leaving no residues, yet still giving enough hydration (maybe won’t be enough for dry skin). It has very very subtle scent I wouldn’t call pleasant (maybe smell of the ingredients it contains like alcohol?). But anyway what is more disappointing its effect. I just don’t really see it. Same goes with some other products of this brands. I just can’t understand why it is so wanted. Because some really cheaper products could have surprised me. The products of the same price tag were above my expectations. But here I see nothing. Yes it doesn’t harm my skin. Still when I use it I don’t feel it costs as much as it costs. It is ok but not super. I couldn’t appreciate and don’t want to repurchase. got this cream for my husband and as he uses it very seldom I started using it myself.
