Men's facial creams designed to moisturize
Berlin - Facial creams for men should moisturize the skin, first and foremost.
Thus means special products for men should contain more liquid and less oil.
In a study conducted by Stiftung Warentest, a Berlin-based consumer goods organization, 30 men each tested 15 different facial creams day and night for two weeks. The six creams with the best moisturizing abilities were ranked "good."
The group also reported that a 50-millilitre-package of a quality product often costs less than six euros (9.41 dollars).
Nonetheless, prices vary. Some good products retailed at about 2 euros for a 10-millilitre packet. One discount product that sells for 60 euro cents per 10 millilitres was rated "satisfactory," according to the magazine "test."
More expensive creams, which can cost between 40 euros and over 60 euros per 50 millilitres did not score any better on average than the more affordable versions. (dpa)
