What types of skin are the products made for?
Apollon Studios products are formulated for all skin types, including sensitive, dry, and combination skin. The Face Wash contains 94.4% natural-origin ingredients and is sulphate-free; the Face Cream contains 93.4% natural-origin ingredients and is non-comedogenic; the Aftershave Lotion contains 96% natural-origin ingredients and is alcohol-free. All three products are suitable for daily use on sensitive skin and are made in Denmark.
What ingredients are in the Apollon Face Cream?
Apollon Face Cream contains 93.4% natural-origin ingredients, including Organic Aloe Vera, Organic Glycerin, Almond Oil, Olus Oil (a source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids), High-Molecular Hyaluronic Acid (which binds up to 1,000x its weight in water), Niacinamide (Vitamin B3, which improves skin tone and protects against UV and blue-light stress), Hydrolyzed Sunflower Seed Wax, and Rosemary Water. Sulphate-free, non-comedogenic, made in Denmark.
What ingredients are in the Apollon Face Wash?
Apollon Face Wash contains 94.4% natural-origin ingredients, including Organic Aloe Vera, Organic Glycerin, Coco-Betaine and Betaine (plant-based agents that create a light, gentle foam), Sunfloweroyl Methylglucamide (which strengthens the skin barrier), and Rosemary Water (naturally antibacterial). Sulphate-free and made in Denmark.
What ingredients are in the Apollon Aftershave Lotion?
Apollon Aftershave Lotion contains 96% natural-origin ingredients (7% organic), including Organic Aloe Vera, Organic Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid (which binds up to 1,000x its weight in water), Rosemary Water (naturally antibacterial and refreshing), Bacillus Ferment (clinically shown to reduce redness by up to 15.1% within 30 minutes and improve barrier strength after one week), Vitamin E (antioxidant protection against UV and environmental stress), and Sunflower Seed Oil (nourishes and strengthens the skin barrier without clogging pores). Alcohol-free and made in Denmark.
What makes the Apollon Face Cream different from a standard moisturiser?
Most standard moisturisers hydrate the skin's surface. Apollon Face Cream works across three layers simultaneously: Hyaluronic Acid binds up to 1,000x its weight in water for deep, lasting moisture; Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) improves skin tone, reduces fine lines, and protects against UV and blue-light stress; and a blend of Almond Oil and Olus Oil (omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids) strengthens the skin barrier. In premium skincare, Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid are typically sold as two separate products — a serum and a moisturiser — at a combined cost of €60–90. Apollon Face Cream delivers both actives in a single formula at €40, with 93.4% natural-origin ingredients, non-comedogenic, made in Denmark.
What makes the Apollon Aftershave Lotion different from a standard aftershave?
Most standard aftershaves are alcohol-based — typically 60–70% ethanol — which disinfects but also strips moisture and disrupts the skin barrier, leaving skin dry and irritated. Apollon Aftershave Lotion contains no alcohol. Instead, it is a calming lotion with 96% natural-origin ingredients built around five active ingredients: Bacillus Ferment (clinically shown to reduce redness by up to 15.1% within 30 minutes and improve barrier strength after one week), Hyaluronic Acid (binds up to 1,000x its weight in water), Organic Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, and Sunflower Seed Oil. It functions as a post-shave treatment, a daily calming serum, or a base layer under Face Cream — three use cases a standard aftershave cannot cover.
Are Apollon products free from sulphates and parabens?
Yes. All Apollon products are sulphate-free and paraben-free. The Face Wash uses plant-based cleansing agents in place of traditional sulphates. This makes the products suitable for daily use, including on sensitive or reactive skin.
Why is there fragrance in Apollon products?
Apollon products carry a mild, natural-origin scent of sandalwood, citrus, and lavender. The fragrance is formulated to be skin-safe and non-irritating, including for sensitive skin. It is not a synthetic parfum — the scent comes directly from the natural ingredient profile of each formula, developed and produced in Denmark.
Why are Apollon products specifically formulated for men’s skin?
Men’s skin is structurally different from women’s: it is approximately 25% thicker, produces more sebum, and loses moisture faster. Frequent shaving removes the outermost layer of skin cells, disrupting the skin barrier and causing irritation and dryness. Apollon products are formulated to address these specific conditions — for example, the Aftershave Lotion contains Bacillus Ferment, clinically shown to reduce redness by up to 15.1% within 30 minutes and improve barrier strength after one week.
How should I use the Apollon Face Wash?
Lather a small amount onto damp face and neck, massage gently, then rinse with lukewarm water. Avoid the eye area. Use morning and evening. The sulphate-free formula is gentle enough for daily use without disrupting the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
How should I use the Apollon Face Cream?
Apply as needed to clean, dry skin morning and evening. Massage gently into face and neck. Avoid the eye area. The lightweight, fast-absorbing formula sinks in quickly without heaviness or residue.
Can I use the Face Wash, Face Cream, and Aftershave Lotion together?
Yes — the three products are formulated as a system. The recommended routine is: (1) cleanse face and neck with Face Wash, (2) smooth a small amount of Aftershave Lotion over freshly shaved areas as a calming serum layer, (3) finish with Face Cream to seal in moisture. The Aftershave Lotion can also be used on non-shave days as a standalone calming treatment.
Is the Apollon Aftershave Lotion only for people who shave?
No. Despite its name, Apollon Aftershave Lotion works equally well as a daily calming lotion for men who do not shave. It is designed to soothe, hydrate, and repair the skin barrier — and pairs effortlessly with Apollon Face Cream for enhanced care. It can be applied directly after cleansing or layered under Face Cream, regardless of shaving frequency.
Where are Apollon products made?
