Max Out Jelqing Cream

What this product is

Max Out is a 100 ml topical serum from Bathmate, supplied in an opaque black plastic bottle with a finger pump and a conical overcap, inside a printed outer carton. The bottle front carries the Bathmate wordmark and its "just add water" strapline, the range name "Max Out", the product name "jelq" in script, and the descriptor "Jelqing Enhancement Serum". It is a leave-on cosmetic applied to the skin: nothing about it is swallowed, and neither the bottle nor the carton carries a nutrition or supplement panel.

Everything below is transcribed from the photographs in the gallery above. You will find it filed alongside the rest of our creams and in the wider gels, lubes and creams department.

What the ingredient declaration says

The carton back panel carries a printed ingredient declaration and the bottle back label repeats it. Read from the carton, where the type is largest, it begins:

Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Butea Superba Extract, Ginseng, Collagen, Gluconolactone, Polyacrylate-13, Cellulose Gum, Sodium Benzoate, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Polyisobutene, Polysorbate 20, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Caffeine, Iron Oxides (CI 77489, CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Tetrasodium EDTA, Xanthan Gum, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate,

The declaration continues past that point with entries too small to resolve in the photography, so they are left out here rather than approximated.

Several of those names are worth knowing if you read cosmetic labels. Water heads the list, which on an INCI-style declaration means it is the largest single component. Glycerin is a humectant — a small, water-loving molecule used across skincare to hold moisture in a formula and give it slip. Butea Superba Extract comes from a climbing vine native to Thailand, where the tuberous root has a long history in traditional preparations; NCCIH publishes plain-language background on a range of botanicals in its herb index. Ginseng is declared without a species name; NCCIH keeps a separate page on Asian ginseng, the best known member of that group. Neither source is connected to this product or to Gear Isle, and neither one comments on it.

Collagen appears as a cosmetic raw material rather than as anything taken by mouth; in leave-on formulas it behaves as a large, water-binding protein that sits on the surface. Caffeine is among the most widely used actives in topical cosmetics generally. Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil is the aromatic component, and it is the entry most worth noticing before first use — peppermint oil is a common enough contact sensitizer that the patch test described below is worth the day it costs.

The rest of the declared list is formulation architecture. Cellulose Gum, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Xanthan Gum and Polyacrylate-13 are thickeners and gel formers that set how the serum flows out of the pump. Polysorbate 20 is a mild non-ionic emulsifier that keeps oil-soluble parts dispersed in a mostly water base. Polyisobutene is a synthetic emollient that gives a cushioned, slightly tacky glide. Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid used both as a mild conditioner and as a chelating aid, and Tetrasodium EDTA is a straightforward chelator that ties up trace metal ions so the preservative system is not spent on them. Sodium Benzoate and Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate are that preservative system. Iron Oxides, listed with their four CI numbers, are the pigments — the same mineral colorants used in a great deal of decorative cosmetics.

The bottle back label also carries the line "Contains Testostomax — a proprietary blend of ingredients." The packaging names the blend and describes it in exactly those words; it does not break out what the blend holds or in what quantity, so this page cannot either.

The bottle, the pump and how it stores

The dispenser is a conventional lotion pump rather than an airless one, and the gallery captures it both capped and with the lever-style head exposed. A pump of this kind meters a repeatable amount per stroke and closes between uses, which keeps fingers out of the bottle.

The storage pictograms tabulated above amount to ordinary cosmetic advice: a cupboard at normal indoor temperature suits it, a sunny windowsill or a radiator shelf does not. The LOT symbol beside them points to a batch code printed elsewhere on the pack rather than carrying one itself.

What the packaging does not state

No directions for use are printed anywhere on the bottle or the carton in the photography available for this listing. There is no stated amount per application, no stated frequency, no period-after-opening jar symbol, and no expiry or best-before date. The carton names a technique on its side panel but prints no instructions for it. There is no allergen advisory beyond the ingredient declaration itself, and no Proposition 65 warning.

That silence is deliberate on our part. The label is the only source this page relies on, so where the label says nothing, neither does this page. Read the carton and bottle that arrive with your order before first use.

Who it suits

This is a product for adults over 18 who are already looking for a topical serum in this category and who want to know what is in the bottle before buying. It sits with the rest of our men's adult products range. If you read cosmetic ingredient panels — because of a known sensitivity, because you avoid particular preservatives, or simply out of habit — the declaration reproduced above is the most useful thing this listing can give you. It is a poor fit for anyone who needs a formula free of essential oils.

Good to know

General practice for any unfamiliar leave-on topical applies here, and it is general practice rather than a manufacturer instruction. Patch test on a small, less sensitive area and leave it a day before wider use. Keep it away from the eyes and off broken or irritated skin. Stop if redness, stinging or irritation develops, and speak to a pharmacist or doctor if that does not settle. Keep it out of reach of children.

This page also makes no statement about compatibility with condoms or with any other device, because the packaging makes none — do not assume it. And if you are weighing claims you have read elsewhere about products in this category, the FDA's pages on health fraud scams and the FTC's health products compliance guidance set out how such claims are supposed to be substantiated. Both are general public resources with no connection to this product or to Gear Isle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much serum does the bottle hold?

100 ml. That figure is printed on the front of the carton and again on the front of the bottle, and it is the only quantity stated anywhere on the packaging.

Does it contain peppermint?

Yes. Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil is named in the printed ingredient declaration on both the carton and the bottle. If you know you react to peppermint or to essential oils in leave-on products, this is the entry to weigh before buying.

Is the ingredient list on this page the complete one?

No — it is the part of the printed declaration legible in the product photography, and the declaration continues beyond it. We reproduced what can be read and stopped there rather than guessing. The carton supplied with the bottle carries the full list.

How is the order packaged for delivery?

It ships in plain outer packaging. It will not show the Gear Isle name.
