Revitalizing, non-anti-aging facial serum specifically formulated for men’s skin, which apparently leaves a very pleasant velvety skin.
A product that belongs to the Collezione Barbiere, dedicated to the shaving ritual of the true contemporary gentleman. This means that it can be applied to freshly shaved skin.
We are going to analyze your INCI to see if it does not include irritating ingredients, which would not be suitable for freshly shaved skin.
After reading this article, I recommend that you read this other one with an Analysis of the Best Facial and Anti-Aging Serums for Men . But do not stay in the analysis, later I explain many interesting things about serums.

Summary analysis Barbiere Revitalizing Facial Serum from Acqua di Parma Collection
The list begins with two silicones, which are the ingredients in charge of giving it that velvet texture that the product describes. Although they really do not give us anything more than a momentary smoothing effect.
Vitamin C is the only active ingredient that will give us something, since the others (such as hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and painkillers) are in very low proportions.
If you notice, it also has several irritating, sensitizing and harmful ingredients, and it also contains too many fragrances, although they are at the end of the INCI.
Of course, it would not be a serum that I would use. It has too many chemical ingredients that not only do not add anything, but can also be harmful.
Alternative
As an alternative to this serum, I recommend Nezeni Cosmetics, a much healthier and more beneficial choice, both for our skin and for our health.
It also has hyaluronic acid, but it has another ingredient that acts as in Botox, and you save yourself from the irritants and toxins of this formula.
