There are two polar opinions about creams and serums for men. First, they are the same as women's, they just smell different. Secondly, they are completely different, and it is dangerous for girls to use them. Olya Tretyakova searches and, it seems, finds the truth.

The first aftershave lotions appeared in the 40s thanks to George Trumper, a supplier of cosmetics to Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and her court. But the first cosmetic line of four products “only for men,” including an anti-wrinkle cream, appeared relatively recently - in 1985. The pioneer was Biotherm.

Last year, according to Rambler (and he refers to the Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov), men's cosmetics occupied almost 40% of the cosmetics market in Russia. True, it was not possible to find out what exactly is included in this 40%. If it’s shaving foam and deodorant, then so be it, we’ll believe it :)

But we hope at least 1-2% is taken up by creams. And here it gets more interesting. What are they? The same as ours, only in brutal packaging and with a chypre scent? And if they are different, then how are they different?

Men's needs - what are they?

  1. Men's skin is thicker and contains more collagen. Thanks to this, it does not react so actively to sudden changes in temperature and wind and retains moisture better. But there is also a minus: “Due to its thickness, it ages later, but more sharply than women’s,” explains a Kiehl’s brand expert in Russia, Alexey Mironenko. It turns out that it is easier for women to fight the first signs of aging: they are visible. And men's skin lasts until the last. The thickness of the skin is the reason to add more active and even aggressive components to products for men - both chemical (fruit acids, retinol) and mechanical (for example, large scrubbing particles).
  1. Men's skin is oilier. Unpleasant shine and acne are common. “Therefore, in men’s cosmetics, in addition to moisturizing, there are more mattifying and sebum-regulating components, for example, salicylic acid,” comments the national makeup artist of Clarins in Russia on the features of men’s care. Olga Komrakova. Oily skin is also an important reason to keep textures light.
  1. Men's skin is more likely to become irritated by shaving. Over the years, the skin on the cheeks, chin and neck of men becomes more and more sensitive and prone to inflammation: the lipid mantle is disrupted. Therefore, the compositions of men's products contain many soothing, protective and restorative components, panthenol and squalane.

It turns out that men's cosmetics are created for oily/combination, dense skin prone to constant irritation? Something about this portrait seems terribly familiar to me.

The fact is that women's creams 40+ are usually dense: to fill wrinkles that appear on our skin earlier. And nutritious! Because skin becomes drier with age. But I don’t have wrinkles (with the exception of the area around the eyes), and my skin is just oily. And although I don’t need to shave my cheeks, I still have enough irritation from temperature changes and stress. So an additional dose of panthenol will not hurt, and if the cream does not clog the pores, it’s a fairy tale.

So I tried about a ton of men's cosmetics and chose 9 products that I will now never refuse.

Men's cosmetics and women's opinion

1. Deep Cleansing Scrub, Shiseido

  1. Promises: cleanse, exfoliate, mattify, rejuvenate
  2. Main components: menthol and exfoliating granules in the scrub.

Olya: “Friends with oily skin have repeatedly praised this scrub, but somehow I couldn’t get around to it - and why, when there are a huge number of women’s ones?

I tried it as part of this experiment - and - surprise! — I’ve never seen such a beautiful scrub before! It smells like shaving foam - standard for men's products, the texture is a thick cream with a million tiny granules. The granules are soft, do not scratch the skin, but cleanse everything unnecessary simply with a bang. After use, a minty chill remains - it will be great in the summer! – and a very delicate, not at all “foamy” smell. And it doesn’t tighten the skin either.”

Other cool face scrubs I've tried: Clinique For Men™ Face Scrub, a men's multifunctional cleanser Age Defender Dual-Action Exfoliating Cleanser, Kiehl's, cleansing and softening gel Gel Nettoyage Profond, Payot, cleanser and exfoliator Nettoyant Exfoliant, Clarins

Prices:

  1. Men's Multifunctional Facial Cleanser Age Defender Dual-Action Exfoliating Cleanser, Kiehl’s - 1200 rub. For 150 ml

  5. A cleanser & exfoliator for men Nettoyant Exfoliant, Clarins - 2200 rub. for 125 ml

2. Complex anti-aging cream Total Revitalizer Cream, Shiseido

  1. Promises: strengthen and rejuvenate the skin
  2. Main components: vitamin E, marine collagen and beta-glucan.

Olya: “The texture is a delicate gel that is immediately absorbed. The skin immediately becomes velvety - you want to touch it all the time. Moisturizes for the whole day - by lunchtime there is no desire to spray or smear with anything extra. And at the same time it mattifies beautifully, and the effect lasts until the evening. For a person who always literally uses a stopwatch to calculate how long a product will remove oily shine from the face, this is almost fantastic: how is that possible?!

The smell is not quite typical for men's products - the aroma is fresh, with notes of flowers and greenery, but quite complex. According to the release, this is a special aroma composition designed to calm the body and spirit. Although for me it is still quite invigorating.

By the way, as a base for makeupTotal Revitalizer Cream He also behaves with dignity: he doesn’t slip.”

Other cool creams: firming anti-wrinkle cream Anti-R >Clarins, wrinkle smoothing fluid Soin Total Anti-Age, Payot.

3. Moisturizing cream-gel modeling the facial contour Hydra-Sculpt, Clarins

  1. Promises: strengthen facial contours, eliminate wrinkles, moisturize and rejuvenate.
  2. Active Ingredients: centella asiatica, fruit acids and salicylic acid.

Olya: “An example of a targeted approach, unusual for men’s cosmetics: Hydra-Sculpt cream-gel does not just “fight wrinkles,” but tightens facial contours and reduces the double chin. I won’t lie, after a couple of weeks of use I saw results like a scalpel, but the contours of my face really became clearer. I would be happy to continue to use it - it is comfortable and immediately makes the skin more elastic, but salicylic and fruit acids are clearly unnecessary for me in winter. But when the heating is turned off, it will be simply irreplaceable!”

Price: moisturizing cream-gel modeling facial contour Hydra-Sculpt, Clarins - 5600 rub. for 50 ml

4. Multifunctional care product Pro Ls All-In-One Face Treatment, Lab Series Skincare For Men

  1. Promises: soothe, mattify, moisturize, slow down the appearance of wrinkles.
  2. Active Ingredients: grape seed extract, pomegranate juice, rosemary and moss extract.

Olya: “And here’s a reverse example from Clarins: a fire product for all-in-one lovers.” Relieves irritation (and not only after shaving), moisturizes, mattifies. The bottle is small and convenient - perfect to take with you to the gym or on a trip. The texture is comfortable, the aroma is light and unobtrusive. If I had not known that the product was from the men's series, I would never have guessed it. I would have thought: a nice pharmaceutical cream. I won't give it to anyone. It will come in handy."

5. Tom Ford For Men Hydrating Lip Balm

  1. Promises: moisturize, soften, retain moisture in the skin.
  2. Active Ingredients: almond oil, shea butter, avocado extract and vitamins A and E.

Olya: “It instantly tidies up dry lips. However, it leaves a thick film, and it is felt for a very long time. I’m okay with this, but how is it for men? Probably, in the extreme conditions of the far north/hot countries or hiking in the mountains, there is no time for comfort - the main thing is protection. But this balm also leaves a decent shine. In general, I don’t know what this product does in the men’s line, I’m taking it for myself.”

Olya: “The bottle is light, tiny - only 5 g, very convenient. No fragrance, no irritation, no creamy shine - just a pleasant coolness. If you sit in a room with central heating in winter, your hand will reach for the stick more than once or twice a day. Great stuff!”

Men's face cream is an effective skin care product for people over 35 years of age. The skin of men ages more slowly, but by this period it already begins to lose its elasticity and firmness. To prevent premature aging and prolong youth, you should provide your skin with proper care.

How to choose and use an effective product

In order to choose a suitable men's cream, you should pay attention to the following aspects:

  1. the consistency of the cream for men should have a dense texture containing the maximum amount of useful substances and microelements;
  2. content of necessary moisturizers, since men's skin is much denser than women's and it needs additional care;
  3. choosing appropriate cosmetics, because women's creams are designed for problematic and dry skin. Men's skin has a slightly different structure and it is best to use special cosmetics;
  4. Getting the necessary consultation from a cosmetologist will help you quickly and easily select the necessary product that meets all the necessary requirements.

The effectiveness of any men's skin care cream depends on its correct use. The product is applied to the skin, which must first be cleansed with a cleansing tonic. The cosmetics are rubbed in with light massaging movements along special massage lines to enhance the effect.

The technology for applying the cream consists of rubbing the product from the forehead to the temples, and then into the eye and eyelid area. Next, apply the drug along the jawline towards the ears. After the procedure, you need to use light patting movements to evenly distribute all remaining cosmetics over your face.

The effects of men's anti-aging cream

The effectiveness of the men's anti-aging cream is noticeable after a month of using the cosmetic, since during this period the active components of the composition accelerate metabolic processes and promote rapid skin regeneration. At the same time, the visual effect is clearly visible and the first wrinkles on the face begin to noticeably smooth out.

An important issue is the selection of a suitable cream, since after use you can immediately feel whether the cosmetics are suitable or not. To do this, before application, you should first conduct a skin test to prevent the development of allergic reactions and discomfort on the face.

As a night cream, it is best to use nourishing products with maximum hydration and skin restoration. During the daytime, it is good to use cosmetics with a thick consistency that protects the skin from exposure to sunlight and other negative environmental factors.

Assortment of cosmetics

Modern manufacturers of skin care cosmetics present a special series of men's creams with various effects. Depending on the desired effect and preferences, you can choose the appropriate product. Below are the main representatives of this line.

The body Shop Drops of Youth

An effective moisturizer for men. The advantage of the product is its light, airy texture, which is both suitable for oily and dry skin. The drug contains natural ingredients for natural nutrition and saturation of the skin with essential vitamins and microelements.

Review

Vladimir, Orel

I want to confirm that the cream and serum are really effective skin care products and eliminate unwanted wrinkles. The texture of the cream suits my skin well and moisturizes it without leaving any shine. And the serum is easy to apply and quickly absorbed. This combination creates the desired effect and is convenient to use. Now I use this series all the time and am very pleased! I would like to recommend to those who are looking for cosmetics in this category that this is what you need!

Men's face creams have a fairly wide range and among them it is easy to choose a suitable and effective product. It is preferable to use such cosmetics from the age of 27–30, since at this stage gradual aging of the skin begins. Regular use and selection of the appropriate product will ensure the desired and long-lasting effect!
