A concentrated formula that aims to recover the youth lost in men’s skin, helping to reduce the stress factors that harm it every day.
The brand boasts that the formula includes more than 50% high-tech ingredients, such as active Zinc-Glycine Complex or high-purity collagen.
And we can only verify this by analyzing the INCI, which will indicate all its ingredients and in what proportion they are.
And so that you are well informed, I recommend that you take a look at the article with the Analysis of the Best Facial and Anti-Aging Serums for Men , in which I also explain if there is any difference with women’s serums.

Summary analysis of Germaine de Capuccini for Men Youth Recovery Concentrate Force Revive
And although from the eighth ingredient the thing improves, beginning to appear active ingredients with antioxidant, regenerating, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties, it still has ingredients that I don’t like at all.In the first positions we see how the brand uses silicones to create an immediate “new skin” effect, but not long-lasting and not very beneficial.
I’m talking about the alcohol, ether, irritating fragrance, and preservative that brands insist on using, which is toxic in the long run.
It is true that the formula includes hyaluronic acid, collagen, shea butter, squalane, ceramides, and a wide variety of antioxidants, but for my taste they are in very low proportion.
In addition, I am concerned about the large amount of preservatives it has, although they are in the last positions, it is clear that they do not benefit us at all.
Alternative
A much kinder serum for our skin is the Nezeni Cosmetics option. A great example of how the concentrations of the active ingredients should be, and with everything that a cosmetic should not have.
You can take a look at the analysis of the serum in the article that I recommend at the beginning of the article.
