Reviews mention

  • Rich, nourishing hydration performance
  • Clean, well‑vetted ingredient list
  • Attractive, sustainable packaging design
  • Smooth, quick‑absorbing moisturizer texture
  • Polarizing, musky chemical scent
  • Occasionally heavy, greasy feel
  • Inconsistent absorption on oily skin
  • Reports of breakouts for some

Jackfir earns mixed reviews: many find the Daily Moisturizer and cleanser effective—rich hydration, quick absorption, and clean, well-sourced ingredients—while others criticize a heavy feel, inconsistent absorption, and a polarizing, sometimes “chemical” or musky scent. Reviews also praise handsome, sustainable packaging and outdoorsy branding, but note occasional breakouts, desire for lighter/SPF options, and that performance can feel ordinary compared to stalwarts like CeraVe or Kiehl’s.

  • Nice packaging, scent, and ingredients but sadly the moisturizer does not absorb into the skin well.

  • Bought this for my boyfriend but wasn’t impressed with the quality when I put it on him. For retail price of $46 for a moisturizer you could get something muuuuch nicer. Just felt like re-packaged Cerave.

  • I decided to order this for my friend, who is into skin care and grooming products. He loved the feel of it, not too heavy, but was a bit put off by the smell. I tried it for the heck of it, and I didn't mind the smell. I quite liked it.

    Feedback

    The smell wasn't his favorite, a little too strong. I have seen other reviewers comment that it would be nice if it were more of a balsam or pine scent because of the name, and I agree! I think that would make much more sense with the name and the overall branding.

  • I like that this is basically scentless, it just smells like generic lotion. My partner and I use it in the evening since it’s a bit heavier than we prefer for the daytime.

    Feedback

    It feels like it sits on my skin a bit more than other moisturizers but that may be more beneficial during colder weather.

  • This was definitely a thicker moisturizer, I agree with others it does feel a tad oily, but definitely nourishing to this skin and great if you have dryer skin

  • I didn't love this- the smell is a little too strong for me and the consistency is what you expect from a daily moisturizer. I don't love the idea that a "manly" moisturizer has to smell "rugged." The plastic top didn't close all the way for me, so I've had to use the moisturizer by twisting off the cap each time.

  • I gave this to my boyfriend as a gift and it smells wonderful. I steal it from him because it is so nice. It is so gentle and moisturizing. It does not break you out and the ingredients are all so good. Even the packaging is lovely. My only issue is it's a small amount for the steep price.

  • The moisturizer and face wash are really refreshing. Great way to start or end the day. Been using for a few weeks now and been really happy with the results. Also love the founder mission and commitment to clean products!

    Great scent!

  • Recently switched over from Kiehl’s and have been pleased. Wonderful to know that I am putting a clean product on my face daily.

  • I ordered the shaving cream, moisturizer, and cleanser for my husband and ended up using all three products myself! I love the shaving cream's texture, perfect for super smooth legs and the moisturizer smells amazing. I will definitely be re-ordering since we are going through the product so fast with both of us using it daily. Total bonus that something that works so well also has super clean ingredients and packaging.

    Would love to see more products from this brand. I so appreciate how transparent they are about the ingredient list! Bring out shampoo, conditioner and suncreen!

  • Great product, easy to apply and keeps skin feeling fresh for hours without looking oily. Although the consistency is a bit heavier, I've found that I prefer it because it spreads easily and therefore doesn't require you to apply a large amount of it. Most impressive - I've found that the Jackfir product hasn't given me any pimples which is an issue I've had with a lot of other moisturizers.

    I do not mind the scent at all and actually find the products natural fragrance refreshing as it reminds me throughout the day that I am not covering my face in chemicals.

  • Bought this for my husband and now we both use it. Love the facial cleanser in particular! Hope there's a sunscreen soon! We would definitely buy it.

  • I am very into all of the Jackfir products, but especially the facial cleanser. It is lightweight, fresh and does not irritate my sensitive skin. The moisturizer has had a visible, positive effect on my face and I would recommend it to anyone.

  • I had never found an upscale skincare product that really felt worth it until I tried the Jackfir cleanser. I finally feel like I am buying a quality product that delivers on value via the meticulous ingredient sourcing and product experience. The smell and feel is uniquely rugged taking you for a hike in the woods near an open campfire each time you shower.

  • Love the exfoliator. It's light and doesn't leave any residue, has a great smell and texture, and I appreciate that care that went into making this from clean, non toxic materials.

    Would love more products for women/unisex, look forward to seeing what they come out with next:)

  • Really great products. I'm pretty shocked how great they perform considering the clean ingredients, not something I've found often. I'd highly recommend.

  • Purchased this for my boyfriend but like it for myself too! Come for the clean ingredients, stay for the branding.

  • It feels clean. I love that I have a product that doesn’t have any harsh and problematic ingredients

  • The moisturizer, shave cream, and facial cleanser all are fantastic. The products are great for those who try to avoid unsafe chemical additives in their hygiene routine.
