Product Overview

An external care gel for men in a 60ml tube, made with epimedium extract — the plant commonly sold as horny goat weed. Produced in mainland China.

The maker describes it as a specialised intimate hygiene product for daily personal care: a gentle, easy-to-apply gel for the skin of a sensitive area, at a size that lasts.

What This Product Actually Is

It is worth being direct, because the shelf this sits on is full of implication.

• This is a cosmetic skin gel, not a medicine. It is applied to the outside of the body and it is not a treatment for anything.
• Epimedium taken by mouth has some traditional use for sexual function; epimedium applied to skin does not have evidence behind it. A plant extract in a gel on the outside of the body is not doing what a supplement taken by mouth is claimed to do.
• It is not a delay product and contains no stated anaesthetic. If a product numbs, that is a topical anaesthetic and it should say so on the label.
• It will not change size, function or performance. No external gel does, whatever the shelf implies.

What it is genuinely good for: keeping the skin of a sensitive area moisturised and comfortable, in a light gel that absorbs rather than sits greasily.

If the Underlying Concern Is Performance

Erectile difficulty and premature ejaculation are common, they are treatable, and they are very often the first outward sign of something else — diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, thyroid problems, medication side effects, anxiety and depression all cause them.

A doctor is the right first step, not a gel. That conversation is routine for any physician, the tests are simple, and treating the underlying cause fixes both problems at once. Nothing sold on a shelf without a prescription does that.

How to Use It

1. Patch test first — see below. Genital skin is thinner and more reactive than skin anywhere else on the body.
2. Wash and dry the area.
3. Apply a small amount to the external skin only and let it absorb.
4. Nothing goes inside, and it is not for use on broken or irritated skin.
5. Wash your hands afterwards and keep it away from the eyes.
6. Stop immediately if there is stinging, burning, redness or swelling and rinse it off with plenty of water.

Patch Test First

Before the first full use, put a small amount on the inside of your forearm and leave it for 24 hours. If there is redness, itching, burning or a rash, do not go on to use it.

Fragrance is the most common cause of a reaction in personal care products, and it is in almost all of them. If your skin has reacted to a scented product before, patch test this one properly rather than hoping.

Keep it out of your eyes. If it gets in, rinse with plenty of cool water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to use with a condom?

The maker does not state whether the gel is latex-compatible, so treat it as unknown and do not rely on it being safe with a condom. If you need something that is, use a lubricant that says water-based on the label.

Is it a lubricant?

No, and it should not be used as one. It is sold as a skin care gel for external use.

Does it work?

As a moisturising gel for the external skin, yes — that is what it is. If you are asking whether epimedium in a gel changes sexual function, there is no evidence that it does, and we are not going to suggest otherwise.

Can my partner come into contact with it?

The maker gives no guidance on that. Since the full ingredient list is not published, the sensible course is to wash it off before contact.

I have sensitive skin. Is it suitable?

Patch test it first and see. Fragrance and alcohol are the two most common causes of a reaction in personal care products, so check the pack for both if your skin is reactive.
