Men's Skincare

Men's Skincare, Shaving and Post-Shave Care

Around 35 products built for the practical end: face washes, moisturisers and balms that calm skin after shaving, plus eye products and treatments in male-targeted formulas. Brands in stock include Biotherm, Acqua di Parma, Clinique, Collistar and Elemis.

Is men's skincare actually different?

Mostly in texture and scent rather than chemistry. Male skin is on average thicker and oilier, so these formulas tend to be lighter, faster-absorbing and either unfragranced or woody. If a product from the main skincare range suits you, there is no reason to switch on principle.

What helps most with shaving irritation?

A balm rather than an alcohol splash, applied while skin is still damp, and shaving after a shower rather than before. Everything here is sealed branded stock, with UK returns if a formula does not agree with your skin. If you shave daily, a fragrance-free balm is the single item the single item most worth upgrading anywhere in a routine.
