Brickell 6-in-1 Gel Face Moisturizer Review — My Honest Experience as a 51-Year-Old Blogger

A few years ago, I reviewed the 6-in-1 Face Cream from Particle for men, and I remember thinking how convenient it was to have a single product that could replace half a bathroom shelf. So when Brickell recently sent me their brand-new 6-in-1 Gel Face Moisturizer, my curiosity woke up immediately. I can see why this type of product appeals to so many men.

So I tried it to see whether it worked for my skin, and more importantly, whether I should actually recommend it.

First Impressions — Simple, Premium & Straight to the Point

You know when you pick up a jar and immediately think, “This feels good”?
That was my first thought.

Brickell went with a glass container, which instantly gives the product a premium feel. It looks clean and modern, the kind of thing you don’t mind leaving out on the bathroom counter.

And the moment I applied the 6 in 1 Gel Face Moisturizer, I felt that immediate tightening effect. It’s subtle but noticeable, and if you’re in your 40s or 50s like me, it honestly feels quite reassuring… like the product is doing something from the very first minute.

The skin feels slightly dry at first ( not uncomfortable, just a temporary “setting” sensation) and within a couple of minutes it settles into a very smooth, hydrated finish that lasts all day.

The Ingredients, And Why They Matter

What I like about this formula is that it brings together ingredients that you often find in separate products. Instead of juggling a serum for one thing and a cream for another, Brickell puts everything in one simplified step:

• Hyaluronic Acid: The hydration powerhouse. It pulls moisture into the skin and keeps it there, giving that plumped and healthy look.

• Peptides: Great for firmness. They help the skin stay resilient and support collagen production.

• Jojoba: A brilliant lightweight oil that nourishes the skin without clogging pores — ideal for every skin type, even acne-prone.

• Vitamin C: Brightens the complexion and helps fade dark spots. Also great for tired, dull skin.

• Vitamin E: A protective, nourishing antioxidant that keeps the skin barrier strong.

• Aloe & other soothing agents: These help reduce shave irritation and calm redness.

This is basically a full routine compressed into one formula, and yet it still feels light, quick, and easy.

My Experience And How It Fits Into My Routine

My skin type is normal. I’ve never really had issues with breakouts, I don’t smoke, I rarely drink, and I’ve always taken care of my skin. So products tend to show their effects quite clearly on me.

This one worked from day one.

I love the tightening effect, the smooth finish, and how my face stays moisturized for hours.My skin actually looks better: slightly brighter, more refreshed, almost like I’ve done a longer, more detailed routine.

Compared to the 6-in-1 cream from Particle, which I liked, Brickell’s gel version feels better on my skin. It absorbs faster, feels lighter, and gives a more noticeable “lifted” feel. And the price is better. A win.

Am I using it every day? Not at the moment, because as a blogger I always have products to test. But I’ve been using it three times a week, and every single time my skin feels as good as when I go through a proper multi-step routine. That says a lot.

Who Is This For?

If you’re a man who:

• Wants great skin but doesn’t want the fuss

• Prefers one product that solves multiple concerns

• Gets overwhelmed by serums, boosters, essences and layering

• Or simply wants the best without complicating life.

It hydrates, reduces eye bags, tackles uneven tone, calms post-shave irritation, and helps with firmness and wrinkles. All in a few seconds each morning.

If you’re someone who already follows a strict 5-step routine and loves it, you might still want this on the days you don’t have time for the whole ritual.

Final Verdict: A Well-Executed, Great-Value 6-in-1

Is it revolutionary? Not really. Products like this already exist. But is it one of the best executed versions I’ve tried? Yes.

Brickell delivered a premium formula with excellent ingredients, great packaging, instant results, and an all-day hydrated finish at a better price than other competitors in the 6-in-1 category.

For me, it’s a new staple in my weekly routine, and something I’ll happily recommend to any man who wants better skin with minimal effort.
