Skincare doesn’t have a single sure-fire solution. Each skin is different, and with different skin types come different concerns. It’s often difficult to pinpoint a single product that is a cure-for-all, especially when it comes to men’s grooming. As a general rule of thumb, it’s always good to have two types of moisturizers: one for the daytime, containing SPF to protect your skin from the sun, and another to use at night, before going to bed. We know that not any moisturizer will magically work for everyone, but we’ve compiled some of the best ones that provide protection, hydration, and the nourishment that any skin will need.

 

For Dry Skin: Doctor Roger’s face cream

Doctor Roger’s thoroughly fabricated cream serves as both an excellent morning and overnight cream. Its ingredients are researched to a T, and it’s a top-shelf fix for dry, dehydrated, and sensitive skin. Seeing as its main job is to restore pH balance to your skin, you can use it as a long-term defense against aging and as a daily shield.

For Oily Skin: Anthony oil-free moisturizer

This aloe and chamomile-packed hydrating moisturizer has healing powers and is capable of  calming the skin without making it look shiny. It’s incredibly light and perfect for skin that has been too exposed to the sun.

For the best SPF Moisturizer: Cardon SPF 30 moisturizer

This product is a lightweight SPF 30 cream, but a little of it goes a really long way. It is perfect for people of all skin types. Made with cactus extract, it is sure to soothe and nourish your skin instantly.

For the best Overnight Moisturizer: Aesop overnight moisturizing mask

This product is Aesop’s latest and it is a miracle worker when it comes to restoring hydration to damaged and fatigued skin. It is made with nourishing vitamins and feels like wearing silk pajamas does. We highly recommend this night cream.

For Acne-Prone Skin: CeraVe SPF 30 moisturizer

CeraVe’s SPF 30 moisturizer is the best in the game.This formula not only keeps your skin healthy and hydrated, but it also prevents your pores from clogging and causing breakouts. CeraVe is the brand to go to for anything acne related, and this moisturizer is the head of its class.

This drugstore staple never failed anyone. The oil-free blend is the safest bet for anyone looking to get some much needed skincare without breaking the bank. The fact that it’s non-comedogenic makes it a great fit for acne-prone guys. This fragrance-free blend is also good for anyone who’s prone to redness and irritation.

For the best Moisturizer Overall: Ursa Major SPF 18 moisturizer

This moisturizer’s overall qualities makes it a definite go-to if you’re someone who doesn’t like getting bogged down by the details. It’s got SPF, which is of extreme importance for all daytime moisturizers. This moisturizer doesn’t leave a chalky residue on your skin, and contains sodium hyaluronate, which preserves hydration in all layers of skin, as well as squalane and plant-derived stem-cell extracts. All the ingredients work together to boost and take care of moisture levels, while helping you retain your young-as-ever look. This is a great investment for your skincare routine and will save you so much shelf space.
