The Best Skincare Brands For Men
Auden
With a mission to create ‘clever, solution-based treatments combining clinical efficacy with ease of use,’ London-based brand Auden is the go-to stop for fuss-free products that do an outstanding job. Products target the likes of redness, dark circles, dehydrated and stressed skin (and so much more), using supercharged ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin C.

Dermalogica
Most of us will have used this legendary skincare brand at one point or another – and if the 100,000 plus skin therapists that swear by it are anything to go by, we’re doing the right thing by keeping it in our bathroom cabinet. Products at Dermalogica aren’t gendered, meaning anyone can give them a go. Many of the formulations are also big on skin-saving ingredients (hence the good feedback), with an emphasis on personalised skincare that slots in with your routine and needs. ‘No two skin conditions are the same,’ says Dermalogica’s website. We couldn’t agree more.

Shiseido
While legendary Japanese skincare brand Shiseido is perhaps best known for its women’s products, its growing line of men’s skincare is certainly nothing to sniff at. The brand, now celebrating 150 years, is perhaps one of the best premium skincare labels for fellas, focusing on combatting ‘the three weakness of male skin: inner defence, antioxidant power and damage resistance. It also offers more than just a cleanser and moisturiser…

Harry’s
Another American company for your list, Harry’s is famous for men’s grooming subscriptions – supplying new razor blades, shaving cream, and other grooming products by mail – crafted by a team of over 600 engineers, designers, craftspeople and chemists. The brand is all about creating simple skincare for men, that feels good to use and is sold for a fair price. Harry’s also sets aside one percent of its sales revenue to support nonprofits, such as mental health care services to help men in need, and has reached over 500,000 men (and donated more than $5 million) so far.

Jaxon Lane
Determined to create products that men would ‘be proud to display on their bathroom counter’, Jaxon Lane is a big name amongst male celebs in the US (Nick Jonas, Diddy and Justin Theroux are just a few of the brand’s big-name clients). The California-based brand was set up by husband and wife team Alex and Jen, when Jen noticed Alex kept stealing her skincare products to use himself. He was fed up with the gimmicky, useless products usually directed at men, and so the pair decided to create something that ‘just works’.

Every Man Jack
Inspired by the great outdoors, California-based men’s care brand Every Man Jack crafts its products using as many naturally-derived and plant-based ingredients as possible; there’s no parabens, phthalates, dye or GMOs involved, and nothing has been tested on animals. This is a great brand to be familiar with if you already have a skincare routine, as it also offers tips on which products to use depending on your skin concerns.

BAZ & CO
As British skincare brand BAZ & CO highlights on its website, ‘if there’s one thing farmers know better than anyone else, it’s knowing how to pick the right ingredients.’ Founded by James Chase, a farmer hailing from Herefordshire, BAZ & CO create natural skincare for men built around the hero-of-all-herbs, basil. All products are made with ingredients grown in the UK, avoiding artificial add-ons like parabens and detergents in order to feed your skin with all of the good stuff. The brand’s motto is ‘from farm to face’, keeping things local and in a transparent supply chain.
