What's in it

The same three products in 30 ml, with the SPF 30 day cream. Four weeks of cleansing and seven to eight weeks of cream: long enough to notice whether this routine suits you.

Questions we often get

Question

Do I need all three products?

Start with washing and a day cream, that is the basis. The night cream is the third step, for the evening.

Question

How long does one product last?

A 50 ml bottle lasts 10 to 12 weeks with daily use. The same goes for the 100 ml Daily Face Wash, which you use more of each time. The pump measures precisely, so you use no more than you need. The Essentials Kit in 30 ml is meant for trying out: the wash lasts around 4 weeks, the creams 7 to 8 weeks.

Question

What does SPF 30 mean in this day cream?

SPF 30 falls within the European class “high protection”. For us it is not an expectation but a measurement: on this cream the average came out at 30.5, with ten test subjects, to ISO 24444. The UVA protection was measured separately and comes to 73% of the UVB protection; Europe requires at least one third.

Two things to add. The measurement uses 2 milligrams per square centimetre — more than most people apply, so apply generously. And a day cream does not replace a sunscreen: if you are out in the sun for a long time, use a sunscreen and reapply it.

Question

Does the routine suit oily skin?

The routine is not made for one particular skin type. If your skin gets shiny quickly, use a small amount of day cream and wash your face in the evening.

Wat je krijgt

Drie producten, drie taken.

Elk product doet één ding, en je ziet hier waarvoor. Onderaan elke kaart staat het feit waarop dat rust: gemeten, of terug te lezen op het etiket.

  • Step 1 · Reinigen

    Daily Face Wash

    Helps with

    • Onzuiverheden en verstopte poriën: talg, zweet en vuil gaan eraf voordat ze poriën verstoppen
    • Een trekkerig gevoel na het wassen
    • Een huid die na het reinigen droog of oncomfortabel aanvoelt

    Cleanses with glucosides from sugar and coconut oil, without SLS or SLES. 99.89% of natural origin (ISO 16128).

    What's in it and why
  • Step 2 · Beschermen

    Day Cream SPF 30

    Helps with

    • Dagelijkse blootstelling aan UVA en UVB, de grootste oorzaak van zichtbare huidveroudering
    • Een vermoeide of doffe huid
    • Een ongelijkmatige teint en zichtbare pigmentvlekken

    SPF 30, measured on this cream: 30.5 on average across ten test subjects (ISO 24444). Not on an active — on the product itself.

    What's in it and why
  • Step 3 · Verzorgen

    Night Cream

    Helps with

    • Een vermoeide uitstraling en zichtbare donkere kringen
    • Een droge of trekkerige huid, en vochtverlies 's nachts
    • Een huid die minder stevig oogt dan een paar jaar geleden

    Five ceramides (NP, AP, AS, NG and EOP) with cholesterol: the same fatty substances as in your skin barrier. Fragrance-free.

    What's in it and why

Elk punt hangt aan een werkstof in dat product. Wat het onderzoek ernaar liet zien, met wie het mat en bij hoeveel mensen, staat op de pagina van het product zelf.

Why a routine

Three products. The same order every day.

Wash and the day cream in the morning. Wash and the night cream in the evening. No serums, no ten steps, and no guessing what comes first.

If you do not know where to start, start here. Every product carries the full ingredient list.

Two moments a day. Always the same order.

  • Full ingredient listEvery ingredient from the label is on the product page, in the same order.
  • Evidence per activeFor every active ingredient it states who studied it.
  • From a pump bottleThe cream comes from a pump, not a jar. Your fingers never go into the product.

  • “I want to keep it simple”

    What is a simple skincare routine for men?

    A simple routine has two fixed steps: washing your face and a day cream with SPF. A night cream is the third step if you want more, not an obligation. You do not need more than three steps.

    The full answer, with sources
  • “My skin gets shiny quickly”

    Why does my face get shiny so quickly?

    Shine comes from sebum, the oil your skin produces itself. Men produce more of it on the forehead than women do, and that stays fairly constant over the years. Washing twice a day and then a thin layer of cream keeps your...

    The full answer, with sources
  • “My skin feels tight after washing”

    Why does my skin feel tight after washing?

    Soap and hot water remove oil along with the dirt, and shaving takes off a layer of skin cells every day. That is why the Daily Face Wash combines mild cleansing agents from sugar and coconut oil with humectants: glycerin, sodium PCA...

Gemeten

SPF 30 is hier een gemeten getal.

Twee onafhankelijke rapporten van 1 mei 2026: één op proefpersonen voor de UVB-bescherming, één in het laboratorium voor UVA.

Gemeten op de Day Cream SPF 30, de crème in deze set.

UVA-bescherming

73% van de UVB-bescherming. Europa vraagt minimaal een derde.

gemeten SPF, gemiddeld over 10 proefpersonen. Op de verpakking staat SPF 30.
30,5
UVA protection factor, measured in the laboratory according to ISO 24443.
22,2
critical wavelength. From 370 nm that is called broad spectrum.
375 nm

The UV filters in this cream are Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Triazone and Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine. Oxybenzone and octinoxate are not in it: those are the two filters Hawaii has banned from sunscreens since 2021.

Beide metingen zijn gedaan met 2 milligram per vierkante centimeter, de hoeveelheid uit de norm. Smeer je dunner, dan is de bescherming lager. Een dagcrème vervangt geen zonnebrandmiddel: ga je lang de zon in, smeer dan met een zonnebrandmiddel en herhaal dat.

Report EU/077/03/2026 (SPF, ISO 24444) and EU/080/03/2026 (UVA, ISO 24443), both dated 1 May 2026. Measured critical wavelength: 375.2 nm.

De werkstoffen

Wat erin zit, en waarom.

Geen lijst van honderd ingrediënten. Een handvol werkstoffen, elk met een reden: wat de stof is, wat hij in je huid doet en hoe hij op het etiket heet.

  • Pentavitin®

    Saccharide isomerate

    Binds moisture and helps prevent the tight feeling after washing.

    Why it is in there

    Washing takes moisture out of your skin as well. This sugar compound is a humectant: in the EU database CosIng it is listed as a humectant, a substance that holds water in the upper layer of the skin.

    What the maker measured

    The manufacturer studied the ingredient in a rinse-off product at 0.2 to 0.5%: 50 women aged 25 to 45 with dry skin, seven days, randomised and placebo-controlled, measured on the forearm. The moisture content of the skin remained higher 24 hours after washing, and 71% of the participants found that their skin felt better hydrated.

    Research into the active, not into this product.

    On the label
    Saccharide Isomerate
    What is known about this
  • Niacinamide

    Supports a more even complexion and helps make pigment spots less visible.

    Why it is in there

    Vitamin B3, one of the best-researched ingredients in skincare. Independent research in humans looked at the skin barrier and an even complexion, among other things.

    What the maker measured

    Niacinamide has also been studied outside the manufacturers. In a study of 50 women, they used 5% niacinamide on one half of the face and the same cream without the ingredient on the other for twelve weeks, double-blind. On the niacinamide side the researchers saw fewer fine lines, fewer pigment spots and less redness. The authors worked at a manufacturer of personal care products; an independent review article from 2021 summarises the human research.

    Research into the active, not into this product.

  • IceAwake™

    Succinic acid and maltodextrin

    Helps the skin look fresher and less tired.

    Why it is in there

    Chosen for the morning. The active ingredient comes from a bacterium living in the cold of a Swiss glacier, and was studied by its manufacturer for a fresher, less tired appearance.

    What the maker measured

    The manufacturer had 21 men and women aged 44 to 66 use the ingredient for fourteen days: afterwards 71% of them looked less tired than at the start. That is compared against their own baseline, without a placebo group. In a second study, in 23 women aged 41 to 57 with 2% on one half of the face against placebo on the other, wrinkle depth decreased by 11.4% in fourteen days.

    Research into the active, not into this product.

    What is known about this
  • iPEPTIDE®

    Acetyl hexapeptide-8

    Helps make dark circles less visible.

    Why it is in there

    A peptide of six amino acids (Ac-EEMQRR-NH₂), rebuilt in the lab after a fragment of the protein SNAP-25, which takes part in muscle contraction. It was designed for the skin around the eyes and the forehead.

    What the maker measured

    The manufacturer measured with a cream containing 3% of this peptide, in people sleeping five to six hours a night: 12% fewer dark circles under the eyes after seven days and 19% fewer after 28 days. How many people took part, and their age, is not stated in the documentation we were able to consult.

    What is known about this
  • Synchrolife™

    Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 with rosemary

    Supports firmer, smoother skin.

    Why it is in there

    A complex of a peptide, rosemary leaf extract and chrysin, developed around the day-and-night rhythm in the skin. That is why it is in the night cream and not in the day cream.

    What the maker measured

    In a two-month study by the manufacturer, against placebo, the surface area of deep wrinkles decreased by 27.7% on average and the skin was rated 12.1% less tired than with placebo. How many people took part and at what dosage sits behind a manufacturer login; we have not been able to consult it.

    Research into the active, not into this product.

    What is known about this
  • Ceramides

    Help support the skin barrier and limit moisture loss.

    Why it is in there

    Together with cholesterol and fatty acids, ceramides form the layer between the cells of your outermost skin layer, the barrier that keeps water in. The night cream contains five of them: NP, AP, AS, NG and EOP.

    On the label
    Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP, Ceramide AS, Ceramide NG, Ceramide EOP
    What is known about this

Wat een werkstof doet, komt uit gepubliceerde bronnen en de EU-ingrediëntendatabase. De cijfers komen uit onderzoek naar de werkstof zelf, meestal van de maker ervan: wie het mat, bij hoeveel mensen en hoe lang staat er telkens bij. Het is geen test van onze crème.

How it came about

Ontstaan vanuit eigen ervaring.

Ik merkte dat mannen die waarde hechten aan hun uitstraling vaak onderschatten wat goede skincare voor hun huid kan betekenen. Door mijn eigen ervaring ontdekte ik hoeveel verschil de juiste verzorging kan maken. Vanuit die gedachte ontstond VALVOR MAN, met drie doelgerichte formules waar ruim een jaar aan is gewerkt en getest.

Van werkstof tot routine. Alles met een reden.

  1. Sep 2025Testing of the skincare begins
  2. Feb–Mar 2026Declarations per formula: vegan, microplastic-free, ISO 16128
  3. May 2026SPF 30 and UVA measured on the day cream
