Hello all, this week we’re on to Nickel Morning After Rescue Gel, a facial moisturizer gel. Nickel is an extremely popular brand and has many followers. It is based in France and I believe may have been one of the first in men’s skin care among a few others. What I mean by this is in the past few there have been many brands, great and not so great, that have come around, while Nickel has been around long before it was “popular” to care about your skin.

I wasn’t sure about this products because I didn’t quite understand what it was for. From the description, it appears that you use this once in a while, as needed when you’ve been out late and look like crap the next day. However, this is a moisturizing gel so it is actually meant to be used everyday as your facial moisturizer. So I decided to try it. I’m not used to a gel-style moisturizer which is why I wanted to be the one to test this out (live on the wild side). It felt cool and wet on my skin and my skin immediately felt smoother, a bit tighter and I actually felt a bit more awake. This may have to do with the caffeine in it. There is also unroasted coffee for that tightening effect. Also, this gel prevents undereye circles and bags, but I can’t really comment on that since I don’t burn the midnight oil as much anymore so I don’t get bags too often. However, I should mention that you should still use your eye cream even though this moisturizer helps with your eye bags.

This is one of Nickel’s most popular items and also the first item we sold here at ShopLOLEX. It is a little more expensive than some other moisturizers available but all of Nickel’s products are a bit pricey and are completely worth every penny because they are very effective. Their products actually do exactly what they say they’re going to do, which is rare for most grooming products.

All in all, a great Nickel product that is to be used everyday, no matter how confusing the description is. Different than alot of the face moisturizers in that it’s a gel but you need to use very little for it to do the job. Try it, you’ll like it.
