Lacvert Lacvert Homme

The primary difference between Sika and Mild is the active ingredient approach at the calming step. Sika uses centella asiatica extract (referred to as 'sika' - a phonetic variant of 'cica') as its primary soothing active. Centella's madecassoside and asiaticoside reduce the redness, tightness, and micro-inflammation that shaving causes on sensitive skin. Mild uses a gentler base without the centella concentration, suited for men whose skin does not react strongly to shaving but still benefits from daily hydration and post-shave care.

If you experience visible redness, bumps, razor burn, or persistent tightness after shaving, the Sika line is the more appropriate starting point. If your skin feels clean and comfortable after shaving without significant reaction, the Mild line provides sufficient hydration and soothing without the additional active concentration you may not need.

The LACVERT Homme Richage Aftershave appears in both Sika (185ml) and Mild Three (185ml) variants. Post-shave lotions (distinct from traditional alcohol-based aftershaves) serve to calm inflammation, restore surface moisture removed by shaving, and provide an immediate cooling or calming sensation to freshly shaved skin. The Richage aftershave is a lotion-weight formula - lighter than a cream, designed to absorb immediately after shaving without leaving residue.

Apply to clean damp skin immediately after shaving and patting dry, pressing with palms rather than rubbing to avoid friction on the shaved surface. At 185ml, the aftershave provides several months of daily use for a single shaving session per day. The Sika variant will show a noticeable calming effect within 5 to 10 minutes of application on reactive post-shave skin; the Mild Three variant provides the same format benefit with a lighter active load.

The LACVERT Homme Richage Emulsion in Sika (180ml) and Mild Three (180ml) is the second step after the aftershave - a lightweight moisturiser that seals in the aftershave's active layer and provides a lasting moisture barrier for the rest of the day. In K-beauty men's routines, the emulsion is equivalent to a lotion-weight moisturiser applied after toner or aftershave.

The emulsion is the more moisturising of the two steps - where the aftershave immediately soothes and hydrates after shaving, the emulsion maintains that moisture throughout the morning and prevents the tightness that men with dry skin experience by mid-afternoon. At 180ml it provides the same supply duration as the 185ml aftershave, making matched 2-piece sets practical since both bottles run out at approximately the same rate.

Two 2-piece sets appear in the collection: the Richage Mild Set 2 Pieces and the Richage Sika Aftershave/Emulsion 2 Pieces Set. Both bundle the matching aftershave and emulsion from the same sub-line at a reduced combined price versus individual bottle purchases. The 2-piece format is the practical choice for first-time Richage users: buying the paired set confirms the sub-line combination suits your skin before reordering individual bottles.

Because the aftershave and emulsion are used at sequential steps in the same routine and deplete at similar rates, buying them together as a set eliminates the mismatch of running out of one while still having the other. The Sika 2-piece set is the better starting point for reactive post-shave skin; the Mild set is the starting point for regular skin without strong shaving reaction.

The LACVERT Homme Richage After Shave 185ml + 35ml + Emulsion 180ml + 35ml Set bundles both the full-size and travel-size versions of the aftershave and emulsion in one purchase. This set provides the home-use size (185ml and 180ml) plus compact travel versions (35ml each) of the same products. For men who use the Richage range regularly and travel frequently, this combination set means you never need to decant product into separate travel containers.

The 35ml travel sizes are small enough to comply with carry-on liquid restrictions, making the large set particularly practical for frequent travellers. At four bottles total, the set offers meaningful value per ml compared to buying full-size and travel bottles separately.

Post-shave routine order: Shave → rinse with cool water → pat dry (do not rub) → Richage Aftershave (press into face and neck with palms, wait 60 seconds for absorption) → Richage Emulsion (apply over absorbed aftershave, press into skin). The full two-step sequence takes under two minutes and prevents the three most common post-shave skin concerns: redness (Sika centella), dryness (aftershave plus emulsion moisture), and afternoon tightness (emulsion barrier seal).

For men who only have time for one product: the Emulsion is the more important of the two for general daily moisture; the Aftershave is the more important for days when shaving causes visible irritation. On non-shaving days, the Emulsion alone functions as a lightweight daily face moisturiser for the LACVERT Homme range.
