The Global Benchmark in Men’s Hydration
Scenturie’s Men’s Enhancing Facial Moisturiser is more than a cream—it is a four-time gold medalist. Having secured “Best Men’s Moisturiser” at the International Beauty Shortlist Awards from 2023 through to 2026, this formula balances clinical-grade efficacy with the purity of New Zealand’s botanical heritage.
The Science of Male Skin Recovery
Men’s skin is typically 25% thicker and subjected to the daily trauma of shaving. Unlike standard moisturisers that sit on the surface, our formula addresses these unique physiological needs through potent Aotearoa natives:
-
Native Harakeke (Flax): A superior super-hydrator that is naturally cooling and more effective than Aloe Vera, providing an instant “drink of water” for thirsty skin.
-
Organic Mānuka & Kānuka: These botanicals calm the skin barrier after the stress of shaving, reducing discomfort while promoting a resilient, smooth surface.
-
Zero Grease Factor: Engineered with a lightweight “vanishing” texture that absorbs instantly. It leaves a matte finish—never sticky, never shiny.
Peak Nourishment: The Lipid-Match Profile
To achieve a revitalised look, we utilise a premium blend of Certified Organic Macadamia, Jojoba, Argan, and NZ Hemp oils. These oils are selected because they mimic the skin’s natural sebum, allowing the formula to:
-
Regulate Oil Production: Prevents the “over-oiliness” common in men’s skin.
-
Lock in Vitality: Meadowfoam Seed Oil creates a breathable seal that protects against environmental ageing and reduces signs of fatigue.

FAQ’s
Is this moisturiser suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes. It is frequently rated the best men’s face cream for oily skin because it uses Jojoba and Hemp Seed oils. These bio-compatible oils signal your skin to stop overproducing grease, helping to reduce shine over time.
Will it leave my skin feeling sticky?
No. We designed this for the man who hates the feeling of “product” on his face. The lightweight formula is absorbed within seconds, providing deep nourishment with a clean, matte finish.
Why doesn’t it contain SPF?
To keep the formula 100% natural and effective for night-time repair, we chose not to include synthetic SPF filters. This allows your skin to breathe and regenerate while you sleep without the risk of clogged pores.
What does it smell like?
A subtle, sophisticated scent of the New Zealand outdoors. We use native Kānuka and Mānuka to create a fresh, woody aroma that won’t clash with your cologne.

I bought this for my husband who usually refuses to use skincare. He loves it because it’s simple, fast, and doesn’t smell like perfume. His skin looks so much healthier and softer now. I love that it’s NZ-made and plastic-free. Will definitely be purchasing again!
Peter R (verified owner) –
An excellent face moisturiser that leaves my skin feeling so good all day long. Very happy with the customer service, quality ingredients, and sustainable packaging. I am a repeat customer of all the men’s products and recommend them to others.

I love using this moisturiser after shaving. It’s incredibly soothing and leaves my skin feeling calm and comfortable all day. My face and neck have never felt better.
Linda B (verified owner) –
I originally bought this for my husband, but our 19-year-old son started using it for his dry skin and eczema flare-ups. It’s improved his skin so much that others have commented on it. It’s gentle enough for him but still effective for my husband. A real family favourite.
Clint E (verified owner) –
My skin gets dry patches around my nose and forehead, especially in winter. I’ve tried a few things from the supermarket that felt greasy, but this face cream is different. It’s lightweight, sinks in straight away, and my face just feels comfortable all day. The subtle, clean scent is a bonus. Highly recommend.
Tom D (verified owner) –
I’m outdoors a lot, and my skin takes a beating. I wanted to support a local NZ brand and this has been a great find. It deals with the windburn without feeling heavy or sticky. It’s good to see quality ingredients like Harakeke being used. It just works. Good stuff.
Dylan K (verified owner) –
My wife bought me this, and to be honest I thought it would just sit on the shelf. I started using it to keep her happy and was genuinely surprised. The dry, rough texture on my cheeks has smoothed out, and it just feels better. I never thought I’d be a ‘moisturiser guy’, but I’m sold on this one.
Matt E (verified owner) –
I was constantly getting razor burn on my neck, but this has sorted it out completely. I use it every morning after my shave and it just calms everything down. Doesn’t sting, isn’t oily, and the tight feeling I used to get is gone. A little goes a long way too, so the jar should last a decent while.

I’ve tried countless moisturisers, but this one from Scenturie is by far the best. It’s lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed all day long. I love that it’s made with natural ingredients and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin. Highly recommend!

I’m in my 40s and starting to notice some fine lines. This moisturiser has definitely helped to improve my skin’s texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. It’s not greasy at all and absorbs quickly, which is a bonus.

Hi Tania, I just wanted to let you know that the Scenturie skin care products I recently ordered from you and have commenced using, are probably the best skin care range I’ve ever tried, the way it sits on my skin and the deep moisturising properties and ingredients are just superb.
I’m a guy in my early 50’s, so shifting to more natural, antioxidant rich products has been a mission of mine for a few years now and I’m thrilled to have found your products all made here in NZ.
The last thing I feel is rather interesting to share with you is that I’ve suffered from alopecia (off and on) for over 10 years and I’ve found my facial alopecia has almost disappeared since using your products … perhaps it’s some of the natural ingredients reducing inflammation of the hair follicles plus now wanting to change all of my body products as well will continue to make a difference.
Thanks for creating such a nutrient rich, natural skin care range – I’ve found my perfect products now 😃

I’m rating this on behalf of my husband. He’s asked me to reorder again and I can say I am more than happy to oblige! His skin is looking quite smooth. Before using the crème, he had a dry patch on his nose and that has cleared up. Im so glad he takes care of his skin as I have to look at him everyday!

This formulation absorbs quickly leaving a softness and hint of plumpness to my skin which at my age is a welcome change. I can highly recommend this product.
