The 30 Best Skincare Products for Men

In the past it used to be that most men's skincare routine consisted of one simple product—that bar of soap kept in the shower. And for special occasions? A bracing splash of aftershave. Thankfully, there's been a bit of an evolution, especially in the last 20 years with all the big name brands having their own targeted mens product line. Everything a man of today needs to keep looking sharp and feeling fresh is now available to him and on a wide range of price points too. From focusing on washing away the daily dirt, pollution, and grime off, to moisturizing to prevent dry patches and applying sunscreen to ward off sun damage and aging, there is a general understanding that a one step skincare routine is not the way to go.

That said, getting too complicated with products isn't ideal either. "Men want the simplest routine possible," says Jeffrey Hsu, MD, a board certified dermatologist in Chicago. With that in mind, the idea routine includes a face wash, moisturizer, exfoliator, serum and sunscreen—with the addition of a few products that can address your specific skin concerns (like dark spots or razor bumps). Whether you're shopping for a partner or are looking for the best skincare for men for yourself, here are the products worth your consideration.
