What Is It / Key Features
A moisturizing cream formulated for men.
It has a unique formula that combines UV filters and licorice extract.

The UV filters are Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone) and Octocrylene.
Texture: Light, non-greasy, fast-absorbing.
Scent: Masculine, “fresh” scent.
Very versatile: designed to be used on face, hands, body, elbows, etc.
Addide Stores
Dermatologically tested / skin compatibility approved.
Ingredients / Safety Notes
From INCI / ingredient breakdown: Water, Glycerin, Isopropyl Palmitate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Alcohol Denat, the UV filters, Licorice Root Extract, Dimethicone, and other standard cream ingredients.
Because it has Avobenzone, the UVA protection is decent (Avobenzone is a well-known UVA filter).
Even though it has UV filters, it’s not clearly labeled with a numerical SPF on many listings — some users caution not to rely on it solely as a sunscreen.
Contains fragrance (parfum) and some potentially irritating components for very sensitive skin (e.g., Limonene, Linalool).
Because of the UV filters and fragrance, you might want to do a patch test if your skin is sensitive.
Pros / Benefits
Helps even out skin tone and reduce the look of dark spots (thanks to licorice extract).
Provides some UV protection (though not a full substitute for a dedicated sunscreen).
Moisturizes very well without being sticky or greasy.
Multi-purpose: can be used on face, body, and hands.
Good value for 150 mL — relatively large size.
Easy to incorporate into a daily routine.
Potential Downsides / Things to Consider
Because the SPF or UV protection level is not clearly stated (on some versions), you should not rely on it for prolonged sun exposure — for strong sun / beach / midday hours, a dedicated high-SPF sunscreen is safer.
Fragrance may irritate sensitive or acne-prone skin.
The UV filters may degrade over time if not stored well (since Avobenzone is known to be less photostable — though this depends on formulation).
Not super “active” in terms of skin-lightening — licorice extract helps but it’s not a strong medical depigmenting treatment.
Because it’s a cream (not a gel), it might feel a little heavy for very oily skin, depending on how much you apply.
My Verdict / Recommendation
If your goal is to moisturize + mildly even out skin tone, this is a very solid, affordable pick.
If your goal is strong sun protection, use this in addition to a proper sunscreen, not instead.
Good for daily use on face and body, especially for guys who want a simple, all-in-one product.
For those with sensitive or acne-prone skin: patch test first.
