We do the brand and product research so that you don’t have to, and that includes reading through clinical study data to verify claims that skincare brands are making. And that's gender neutral. Men should consider products that address common concerns, like oily skin, or having a tougher skin texture, while considering products that will work for their lifestyle. We've compiled all our top picks for those uses here.

Men should follow a basic 4-step routine: cleanse, correct, moisturize, and protect. To do this, he'll need a cleanser, any products to address specific concerns, a daily moisturizer, and daily SPF. (Many moisturizers include anti-aging ingredients and sun protection, so be on the lookout for multipurpose products to reduce these steps.)

Men need moisturizer as much as women do to keep their skin looking great and aging slowly. And when you add the conditions that men's skin faces that women usually don't, like shaving and daily sun exposure, it becomes even more important to restore your skin back to a healthy state.

We recommend a twice daily routine. In the morning, start with a cleanser, use any correcting products or serums, moisturize, and then apply SPF. In the evening, do the same thing, skipping over the SPF.
