Moisturiser for men

PMKeates · 21 Jul 2012 at 19:25

For a few weeks now I've been using No. 7 Men 'Protect & Perfect' moisturiser and found it really quite good; my skin feels much suppler, and I think looks a bit better, too!

Does anyone have recommendations for other creams that work nicely? The only other guy I know for sure uses face cream is Princey and he looks about 5, so I guess they work, and also that a few other guys on here must use one

If it suits you then stick with it? I use the No 7 aftershave balm and really rate that too. Plus the No 7 stuff is reasonably priced.

Well, it's the first one I've ever used so it's not exactly the result of years of painstaking research and trials :d

I think it would help if those of you are using a moisturiser can post a pic of your face, and include your age and how long you have been using it. Preferably creamed up.

Benzoyl peroxide - it is literally THE thing to use.

That dries skin out. I want a moisturiser that moisturises without blocking pores or has an active ingredient that prevents white heads. Using BP cream after moisturising is kinda counter productive don't you think? Also, i don't really want to have to use BP cream for the rest of my life and constantly have a white head on my face every day of the year.

How old are you?

I'm 32 and suffered from cystic acne throughout my teens but it has died down now. Luckily i don't have any scarring but i do still have breakouts but using moisturiser makes it a lot worse.

Oh.. I just assumed you were 16 or something. Sorry

Would you care to explain exactly how having to look after your skin due to an illness makes someone gay?

Grow up.

Are you saying being gay is an illness?

You disgusting person

There are a lot of people in this thread pointlessly wasting money on the basis of marketing by the cosmetics industry. They all essentially do the same job, just get some generic moisturiser from your chemist.

Please avail me of the detailed scientific studies that you base this opinion on.

I'll point you towards the lack of scientific studies carried out by the cosmetic industry showing effectiveness of their magic active ingredients...

I knew this would be your response, as it's the obvious reaction. However..

1. I can prove that the moisturiser I am using works. All I have asserted is this. That claim is not under question by you or anybody else.

2. You claim that 'they are all the same' despite how they are marketed, reports by users, pricing etc.

I am asking you to validate your claim as I dispute it. The onus is in you to provide some evidence. You cannot use the lack of evidence to support your position, otherwise I could simply say: Me "Of course time travel works, I go back to the prehistoric era every day!", You "Prove it", Me "I'll point you towards the lack of evidence today suggestion that this isn't possible.."

I moisturise, but I've only one used product so far - would be open to recommendations.

Why the embarrassment? Is it a product of your own personal formulation?
