Very similar to the Aquasource moisturizer for women is this Aquapower moisturizer for men’s skin, a very refreshing formula with a non-sticky, non-greasy gel texture.
Inside we will find thermal water, amino acids, trace elements, vitamins and the star ingredient of the brand: Life Plankton. It does not have parabens, so in principle it looks good. It only remains to see in what concentration all these ingredients are found, and to see how they are accompanied.

Biotherm Homme Aquapower analysis summary
It is a cream that has surprised me for good. Although the list is quite long, it has several moisturizing ingredients (such as shea butter, glycerin or provitamin B5) that act as humectants, emollients and occlusives, to retain moisture from the epidermis, and absorb moisture from the environment.
In addition, it also has other antioxidant, exfoliating, and anti-acne and oil-regulating ingredients, as well as minerals (copper, zinc) and vitamins C and E.
And lastly, the amino acids that are mentioned in the description also appear, in a very low proportion.
If it weren’t for the amount of fragrance and perfume it has, and a somewhat dangerous preservative, it would be a good cream. The alcohol that is included in the first positions also has a risk of irritation, so be careful with sensitive and dry skin.
Alternative
As I am looking for formulas that are kinder to my skin, and that have multiple purposes, right now I am using Nezeni Cosmetics Collagen cream, which in addition to intensely hydrating, helps reduce the signs of aging.
It is a more concentrated cream, with more active ingredients and without so much preservative and fragrance. It only includes what you have to have, no fillers or harmful ingredients.
