I would say it is a moisturizer because you put it on after cleansing. It does make the skin softer, but so far it has been ineffective in correcting my son's problems with ingrown hair.

This product is targeted to men.
Yes it works on African American Skin. We are of African descent and my husband as extremely course hair. He has suffered with in grown hair for many years. I bought this for him at Christmas just to give it a try and we were pleasantly surprised at the results. Now he can't live without it !

It might? The ingredients are very effective at preventing/treating ingrown hairs. I would assume since it is made for a man, it would work well on thicker hair "down there." My only concern would be the smell. It definitely has a "man" smell. It smells nice on a man, but may not be what you are looking for. There is a product called "The Afterglow," which is made by Philosophy. I don't believe they sell it on Sephora. It is not as effective for ingrown hairs on a man, but may be effective for you. It does not really have a scent at all.
