General, ingredient-based — not your personalized match.
See how this fits your skin
Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testWant to take the effort out of shaving? Look no further than Aesop's Moroccan Neroli Shaving Serum (60ml). The silky texture of this serum makes for maximum slip to facilitate a closer, sleeker shave. Powered by soothing aloe vera, clove and hydrating orange blossom, this gel will leave your face feeling smooth yet comforted. Plus, it's enriched with liquorice root, renowned for its brightening abilities. The best part? The warm woody scent that lingers long after you shave.
Moroccan Neroli Shaving Serum is a lightweight serum from Aesop. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 32 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Panthenol and Water, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Panthenol, Water and Sorbitol.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Several ingredients carry irritation flags. If your skin is reactive, this is one to patch test carefully or approach slowly.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and cell renewal. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free and dye-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance and essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after toner, before moisturiser. Apply to clean, dry skin and give it a minute to absorb before the next layer. Introduce one new treatment at a time so you can identify what is working.
