When it comes to the best skin care routine for men, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. “Men have skin care needs that are just as important as women, but they rarely inquire or invest in more than store-bought products, and that’s a shame,” says LovelySkin CEO Dr. Joel Schlessinger, board-certified dermatologist, Mohs surgeon and cosmetic surgeon. “There are wonderful products out there that provide so much more than what is available in your local grocery store or drugstore.”

As founding scientist for SkinCeuticals, the late Dr. Sheldon Pinnell spearheaded the research that led to the development of cutting-edge skin care formulas that help improve skin’s health and appearance for both men and women. “In particular, I like the SkinCeuticals sunscreens for men,” Dr. Joel Schlessinger says.

With the deep array of SkinCeuticals products available, you can assemble your own custom men’s skin care kit based on your most pressing needs. Here are some of the best skin care products for men that SkinCeuticals makes specifically for:

• Post-shaving care

• Daily UV protection

• Oil control

• Skin rejuvenation

Post-shaving care

If you shave your facial hair, it makes sense to incorporate skin care products into your routine that are compatible with shaving. SkinCeuticals makes two anti-aging skin care products that are well-tolerated post-shave.

SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Hyaluronic Acid Gel Serum is an oil-free gel moisturizer you can use daily to hydrate skin without clogging pores. It contains sodium hyaluronate, the salt form of hyaluronic acid, to prevent moisture loss and boost your skin’s moisture content. It also features vitamin B5, which helps repair skin tissue and minimize signs of aging.

If you have dark spots on your skin from shaving, they could be due to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from ingrown hairs or razor bumps. SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF Antioxidant Vitamin C Discoloration Gel helps brighten dark spots with a combination of 10% pure vitamin C and 0.5% ferulic acid as well as 2% phloretin, a fruit-derived flavonoid. Regularly using this post-shave treatment can also help firm skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines over time.

Daily UV protection

“In our practice, we often see men with significant sun damage and skin that is damaged by inadequate protection and lack of simple moisturizing,” says LovelySkin Medical Director Dr. Daniel Schlessinger. “There are fantastic products out there and the SkinCeuticals line has a variety of solutions.”

If you’re looking for the best moisturizer for men, consider choosing a formula with nourishing ingredients and broad-spectrum sunscreen to help protect skin from visible signs of aging and skin cancer.

SkinCeuticals Clear Daily Soothing UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50 is a lightweight face sunscreen that hydrates skin with 7% glycerin and soothing ingredients such as 0.5% bisabolol and 2.5% palmitoyl tripeptide-8 to reduce redness. It protects your skin with a hybrid UV filter blend of 8% homosalate, 5% octisalate, 5% octocrylene and 7% zinc oxide.

Another option is SkinCeuticals Sheer Physical UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 50, a matte-finish all-mineral sunscreen that boosts your skin’s defense against both UVA and UVB rays with 5% zinc oxide, 6% titanium dioxide and artemia salina, a nourishing plankton extract. This sunscreen is safe to use on post-procedure skin, so you can rely on it to provide protection after a laser resurfacing treatment or injectables at your dermatologist’s office.

Oil control

If keeping shine in check throughout the day is a challenge for your skin, you’ll appreciate the SkinCeuticals’ daily oil control products. One of the best facial cleansers for men with oily skin is SkinCeuticals LHA Exfoliating Cleanser Gel. A combination of glycolic acid, salicylic acid, sorbitol and lipohydroxy acid help remove excess oil and unclog pores, so you’ll be less likely to experience breakouts.

SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF Vitamin C Serum has all the anti-aging benefits of an antioxidant serum with the addition of oil control. It helps improve the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin tone with 15% L-ascorbic acid, the most potent form of vitamin C, and 0.5% ferulic acid. It also contains 0.5% salicylic acid and silymarin, an antioxidant derived from milk thistle. Together, these ingredients help unclog pores and reduce skin oiliness over time, resulting in more balanced skin that’s less prone to acne.

Skin rejuvenation

Thanks to ongoing research, SkinCeuticals continues to develop new formulas for skin rejuvenation. When considering the best anti-aging skin care for men, SkinCeuticals Cell Cycle Catalyst Skin Surface Renewal Serum should be on your list.

This novel, skin-rejuvenating serum accelerates cell turnover to help reduce visible signs of aging. Cell Cycle Catalyst is intended for use after cleansing and before moisturizing, and it contains a multi-acid blend that acts like a peel to improve skin texture and diminish fine lines as well as an amino acid called taurine that activates the cell renewal cycle in your skin.

To help improve the appearance of deep wrinkles such as forehead lines and crow’s feet, one of the best face creams for men is SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced Corrective Cream. This targeted wrinkle treatment is powered by 18% Proxylane, 4.25% wild fruit flavonoids, 0.1% glycyrrhetinic acid, 3% HEPES and 1% niacinamide. Together, these ingredients help improve dullness, crepiness, loss of firmness and wrinkling.
