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

Another vote for CeraVe here. I have oily skin and still at the age of 40 get some acne and their blemish control cleanser and the SA moisturiser keep it under control. My skin has never been better.

What’s your skin like OP? Is it dry or oily? Do you work outside? I can better recommend some products if I know what you need.

I work inside all day at the moment (I work fully remote). If I don't use a moisturiser my skin will get very dry and flakey. During summer I cycle quite a bit so the perspiration can cause some breakouts.

Definitely have a go of the CeraVe SA smoothing cream. A little goes a long way and it will work miracles for dry skin. You can use it all over your body too. I’ve got a big pot of the stuff and it lasts ages. They also have moisturisers with SPF which you can use together with the SA cream. The foaming oil cleanser or the hydrating cleanser would be great for you.
