The Defense Line

Skin Defense Cream | MEN

Your daily shield against pollution, stress, and fatigue.

This fast-absorbing formula strengthens the skin barrier, protects against urban pollution, and calms post-shave irritation with a matte, non-greasy finish.

Why Salassia Skin Defense Cream for Men?

Men’s skin loses hydration faster, shows inflammation from shaving, and is more exposed to pollution and oxidative stress.

"I surf and run, so my face takes a beating from the wind. Most moisturizers either sting or make me sweat, but this stuff is different. It cools my skin down right away and disappears without leaving a shine. If you hate that 'heavy' feeling of lotion but need the repair, this is it."
