mens facial moisturiser and products advice please

guzzbuzz

Hi can anybody recommend where it is good to buy mens facial moisturiser and things like face masks for men please?

I have tried shopping at places like boots and all the other high streets shops but i find their products are mass produced and not very good. Stuff like loreal or Nivea just arent that good quality

I was using a company called https://www.solacearomoatherapy.com for a long time as they used fruits and other different ingrediants to what you find on the high street but im not sure what has happened to this business as they dont seem to be trading anymore.

I liked buying from them because they had moisturisers, face masks, exfoliators but catered for different skin types (i have quite oily skin and i found the products they produced really happened reduce the shine) but companies like Loreal and Nivea, were pretty rubbish at this.

So can anybody recommend where else is good to buy from for a male please?

Thanks

My husband uses Body Shop products and finds them very good

Marks and Spencer have a good range of brands that you won't find at Boots, and you can browse instore:

Clinique Men is rated very highly by lots of men I know (ask at a Clinique counter for samples to try):

And Cult Beauty have a good range of more upmarket products, if that's what you're looking for. Their search also lets you include/exclude certain types of ingredients, and filter by skin concern, which is really useful:

Edit: personally, my favourite brand at the minute is Organic Surge, which may be worth a look? It's British, and organic, and has lovely ingredients. It's a fairly new discovery for me, but my skin has never been so balanced and good. They don't do a specific men's range, but the packaging they do isn't too girly

Thanks alot of the suggestions to you both

I am going to have a look at everything in detail when i get home and will see exactly what might suit me best

Somebody else has also recommended a company called: nip + fab. Are they meant to be any good?

Also is there any truth in the fact that all the womens products are also suitable for men to use?

Of course they are! Skin is skin. In fact there is a much wider range of skin care products out there for women so you might well find what you're looking for in boots if you move away from the mens aisle. If you don't want anything highly scented then the Simple range might be suitable.

Nip + fab - from the couple I've tried they're ok, nothing special. I've not tried much of the range though.

Women's products - absolutely! The formulas are generally identical, but mens products can be a little cheaper, as the marketing budget is lower

The products my husband uses are marketed for men and women.

I either use


Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream

or


Nivea Men Sensitive Moisturiser

Depending what offers are on at the time.

Simple products,no fuss, and inexpensive,,both work very well.
