What it is

Jack Black Epic Moisture Hydration Booster Serum is a lightweight hydrating serum that can go on alone or under a moisturizer or post-shave product. The brand suggests it after shaving to soothe skin.

Key ingredients

  • Hyaluronic acid: Listed as sodium hyaluronate, a humectant for hydration.
  • Polyglutamic acid: Another humectant that draws water into the top layers of skin.
  • Gluconolactone: A polyhydroxy acid the brand says gently exfoliates and evens tone.
  • Reishi, shaggy mane and maitake mushrooms, plus red sage: Antioxidant extracts.

How to use

After cleansing or shaving, apply one or two pumps to the face and neck daily. Use alone or before a moisturizer.

Who should be careful

Jack Black says it contains no fragrance, but the full ingredient list includes sandalwood oil, an aromatic oil. Gluconolactone is a mild exfoliating acid.

What the brand claims

In a 38-person consumer perception study over two weeks, Jack Black reports that 89% said it instantly boosted hydration and 82% said it soothed skin after shaving. These are self-reported impressions.
