Cons
- No evidence any cream increases size
- Sales chart shows about +8 cm with no source
Who Is This For?
Recommended For:
We cannot recommend it. No cream has been shown to increase penis size, and the product's own retailer does not claim that it does.
Not Recommended For:
Men with sensitive skin or allergies to arnica, peppermint or other plant extracts, anyone with broken or irritated genital skin, and men with erection problems or concerns about size, who would be better served by a doctor's visit.
Summary
What is in it: a standard cosmetic base (water, emulsifiers, mineral oil, glycerin, preservatives) with rosehip oil, peppermint oil, aloe, arnica and ginkgo. The plant extracts are listed after the preservative, which under EU labelling rules suggests they are present in small amounts.
What the evidence says: we found no clinical trial of any topical cream that increases penis size. For scale, a systematic review of more than 15,000 men put the average erect length at about 13.1 cm, so the chart's 8 cm would be roughly 60% of it.
A mixed message from the seller: NuviaLab, a retailer of the same product, describes it only as a cosmetic for circulation and makes no size claim.
Returns are limited to 10 days from purchase for unused goods, so an opened cream cannot be returned.
Ingredient Breakdown
Expansil is a cosmetic, so it has an ingredient list (INCI) rather than a supplement label. The full list, in the order printed:
water, polyglyceryl-4 laurate, phenoxyethanol, glyceryl stearate, tocopherol, rosehip seed oil, peppermint leaf oil, aloe leaf juice, potassium sorbate, acrylates/acrylamide copolymer, mineral oil (paraffinum liquidum), cetearyl alcohol, sunflower seed oil, glycerin, arnica flower extract, polysorbate 85, ginkgo leaf extract, sodium benzoate.
How to read it. In EU cosmetics, ingredients above 1% must be listed in descending order. Phenoxyethanol, a preservative usually used at up to 1%, appears third. Everything after it, including all the plant extracts, is therefore likely to be present at around 1% or less.
What each botanical is known for:
- Arnica has anti-inflammatory studies, none on genital use or size.
- Ginkgo has circulation research as an oral supplement, not as a cream for size.
- Rosehip oil and aloe are skin-conditioning ingredients.
- Peppermint oil gives a cooling or tingling feeling, and is a known skin irritant for some people.
The references on the sales page are real papers, but they cover general anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and circulation effects, and one covers peppermint and exercise performance. None concerns penis size.
The page also calls the cream "100% natural"; the list includes mineral oil, synthetic preservatives and an acrylic polymer.
What Expansil Cream does not tell you
Expansil Cream names its ingredients but publishes no amount for any of them, so there is nothing here to check against the research.
Amounts are taken from the manufacturer’s own supplement facts panel. Where a label states a standardisation, the active fraction is what we compare, because the active is what the trials measured.
Dosage Analysis
A cream has no dose in the supplement sense, and Expansil does not publish the concentration of any ingredient.
- Arnica, ginkgo, rosehip, peppermint, aloe: concentration not stated, and listed after the preservative. No size trial at any concentration.
- Whole product: no study of Expansil itself, despite a growth chart showing about +8 cm by month 8 to 9, with no source given.
The seller's directions are to apply it once or twice a day to the external genital area and massage it in, after a 48-hour patch test on the forearm. A 50 ml bottle lasts about a month.
Normal size, for context: a 2015 systematic review measured average erect length at about 13.1 cm and girth at about 11.7 cm. Many men who worry about size are within the normal range.
Quality & Testing
Our Transparency Score checks five things a buyer can verify. Expansil Cream scores 1 out of 5.
- Ingredient concentrations: no. The ingredient list appears only on the NuviaLab store, without concentrations; the Swiss page our link leads to shows none.
- Identifiable company: no. The Swiss and German sites name Key Player Limited, Dubai Airport Freezone; the US site names only "Expansil.com" in Hong Kong. No manufacturer or EU responsible person is named.
- Refund terms in writing: yes. 10 calendar days from purchase, unused goods only.
- Independent testing shown: no.
- Study on the finished product: no.
A regulatory precedent. In 2008 the US Federal Trade Commission shut down a spam network selling "VPXL", an herbal product advertised as "100% herbal and safe" that supposedly caused a permanent increase in penis size. The FTC alleged that the pills did not work.
Correction. An earlier version of this review described Expansil as a capsule with L-arginine, citrulline, maca and ginseng, reframed it as an erectile-dysfunction aid, and listed a 90-day guarantee. It is a cream with none of those ingredients, and we have corrected it.
Value for Money
Prices when we checked in September 2026:
- Swiss site (where our link leads): CHF 59.99 for 1, CHF 107.98 for 2, CHF 143.98 for 3.
- German site: €49.99, €89.98, €119.98, with cash on delivery available.
- US site and NuviaLab: $59.99, $107.98, $143.98.
The return rule. The terms allow withdrawal "within 10 calendar days from the date of purchase", in writing, only if the goods show no signs of use, and state that EU law does not apply. Once opened and applied, the cream cannot be returned under those terms.
Side Effects & Safety
- Skin irritation or allergy: peppermint oil and arnica are common skin sensitisers, which is why the seller's own FAQ asks for a 48-hour patch test.
- Partner contact: the cream is applied to the genitals; consider possible irritation for a partner.
The sales page describes Expansil as "completely harmless". The product has not been tested in any clinical study.
Final Verdict
Our Verdict
Expansil Cream is an ordinary cosmetic cream with small amounts of plant extracts, sold with a promise of about 8 cm of growth that no study supports and that its own retailer does not repeat. Returns are limited to 10 days for unopened products. We do not recommend it. Men worried about size or performance get more from a conversation with a doctor.
