Jack Black Double Duty Face Moisturizer SPF 20 Review Summary

Sunscreen is the most active ingredient in the formula, and although it is a chemical sunscreen, it is not one of the worst I’ve seen.

Of the rest, I only have two drawbacks, the first is that I have found a toxic preservative at the top of the list, something that I do not like at all; plus a couple of irritants a little further down.

And the second is that there are very good ingredients, but most are in low concentrations, when they could be more present. This is the case with botanical active ingredients or hyaluronic acid.

It is not a bad product, but it could be better by removing the harmful ingredients and increasing the proportion of the good hydrating actives and antioxidants.

Alternative

A similar option in terms of benefits is Nezeni Cosmetics Collagen cream. It does not have a sunscreen, but it makes up for it with more hydrating and antioxidant actives, present in a higher concentration.

Dry skin will look intensely hydrated, and skin with wrinkles will see a decrease in the depth of lines.
