How to choose skincare for men
A men’s routine can be short: cleanser, cream and SPF in the morning, cleanser and cream in the evening. We chose the products in this category so the routine takes a few minutes and the textures stay on the lighter side. Choose based on what bothers you most.
Skin gets shiny and pores look more visible
Start with a cleanser that removes oil without drying your skin out. COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser has a low pH and contains BHA and tea tree. A light gel cream works well afterwards, for example PURITO SEOUL Oat In Calming Gel Cream.
Skin stings or turns red after shaving
A gentle cleanser and a cream with a simple formula make sense. PURITO Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream is a light cream with 10% panthenol and no fragrance. Straight after shaving, it is usually best to skip products with acids.
Skin is drier and a light cream is not enough
Choose a richer cream, such as the fragrance-free Pyunkang Yul Black Tea Enriched Cream.
You want one SPF for every day
Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun SPF50+ is a light, fragrance-free cream applied as the last step in the morning. You will find more options, including mineral SPF, in our face SPF category.
Not sure which step to start with? Our skincare consultation suggests one first step based on how your skin feels. It takes about 3 minutes.
How to use it
Morning: cleanser or just water, cream, SPF. Evening: cleanser and cream. After shaving, apply your cream first and SPF on top in the morning. Add new products one at a time so you can see how your skin responds.
Looking for a gift
Men’s sets contain two to four matching steps in one box, so there is nothing to put together.
Frequently asked questions
Does men’s skin need different products from women’s?
Not necessarily. Skin type and skin needs matter most. Men’s routines tend to be shorter and more often deal with skin after shaving and shine during the day.
Is SPF worth it if I spend most of the day in an office?
Some UV light passes through window glass. If you sit near a window, SPF makes sense as the last morning step in the office too. The level of protection a product offers is stated on its label.
Is a cream enough on its own?
A cream is a good start. In the morning, SPF on top makes sense, and in the evening a cleanser that removes oil and the day’s SPF.
