What skincare products do you use? (lemdro.id)

Looking specifically for men but I’m open to all opinions. I’ve been doing some experimenting over the last 2 and a bit years, trying to find what works best for me. I’d love to get some opinions on what has worked for others.

stuff I’ve tried:

L'Oréal Men Expert (no complaints)
Bull Dog (not the biggest fan)
Neutrogena (no complaints either)
SkinCeuticals (borrowed from my partner who got some as a gift)

I’m in Europe if it helps

You use straight up bar soap on your hair? I feel like that would just end up stripping most people's hair of all needed oils. Unless you have very naturally oily hair I guess.

I’ve shifted to the opinion that the overwhelming majority of beauty products are unnecessary and are just a market in search of a problem.

I'm with you on this part though

What do u think shampoo is its soap with a liquifaction agent it does the exact same thing just with double the price and fancy marketing.

While true, there's different types of soaps. If you put something like laundry soap or dish soap on your hair, it's incredibly harsh and you're going to have a bad time. I feel like laundry soap has a chance to even chemically burn your skin.

Plus, I use conditioner afterwards to put some of those oils back in there so I don't think I could give that up. Whenever I skip the conditioner, my hair seems to suffer a bit.

But then I probably wash my hair too often.
