Today, skincare is primarily unisex, with pioneering gender-neutral and men’s skincare brands leading the way in active skincare, offering everything from toners and cleansers to serums and sunscreens. We first published this article on the best men’s skincare brands in 2021. Since then, the […]

Though guys may not be conditioned to fret over every fine line or wrinkle that makes its way onto the planes of our face, the phrase “you look tired” is a universally dreaded one. The continual feeling of uncertainty and unease over the past year or so coupled with constant exposure to external pollutants as well as screens large and small is a surefire recipe for puffy, tired looking undereyes. The skin under and around your eyes is up to […]

Arabella Johnson — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 04:21:29 +0000

Cleansing, moisturising, and daily SPF protection unequivocally form the foundation of a good skincare routine, but to really take it up a notch you need to be using a good vitamin C serum. A powerhouse skincare ingredient, vitamin C is an antioxidant that has the ability to prevent free radical damage, soothe inflammation, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, reduce dark spots, and brighten skin tone.

Though avid Albert Review readers are likely already familiar with the concept of a facial serum, advocates of a minimalist cleanse-exfoliate-moisturise skincare routine may be hesitant to add another step. However, facial serums are an easy way to treat targeted skin concerns and make for a powerful addition to your grooming arsenal. While face creams, lotions, and moisturisers work to effectively hydrate and moisturise your skin, they typically have a low (or no) concentration of active ingredients. In contrast, serums […]

Laughed Through The ’90s? It’s Time To Try A Retinol

John Deckard — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 04:47:38 +0000

If you’re old enough to recognise a floppy disk as more than the ‘save’ icon, remember using CDs and watching pre-streaming television, and lived through the popularity of low rise jeans the first time around, it’s probably time to consider using retinol. Unlike the plethora of grooming products that exalt miraculous age reversing and gravity-defying properties with little to no science to back it up, retinol—and other retinoids—actually walks the talk. Retinol, topical vitamin A derivative, can improve pretty much every […]

We’re not here to tell you to wash your face; we know you already do. If not, quick – start now while we’re not looking. Washing your face sets the tone for the rest of your skincare routine; it’s useless applying serum or moisturiser to a face caked on with the impurities of the day. The underpinning of any man’s skincare artillery, a face wash is necessary for, well, washing your face. However, a good face wash will go above […]

The foundation of a good skincare routine, an effective cleanser is crucial for creating a clean canvas, allowing the rest of your skincare products to work effectively. While we’d like to think acne eventually disappears along with homework, uniforms, and heavy-duty backpacks, it often lingers long after your tenure at school has come to a close.

The Best Fragrance-Free Face Washes & Cleansers For All Skin Types

Arabella Johnson — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 02:02:34 +0000

The cornerstone of any good skincare routine, an everyday cleanser is essential to ensure you’re working with a clean canvas. As skincare isn’t a one-size-fits-all matter, the best face wash can differ based on your skin type, however, it’s typically best to opt for fragrance-free face washes or cleansers. While added fragrance can contribute to a luxurious cleansing experience, it doesn’t provide any real skincare benefits and can potentially irritate or further dry out sensitive and dry skin types. You’ll […]

Esmé Duggan — Tue, 25 Jun 2024 02:32:32 +0000

One of the most evidence-backed skincare ingredients, tretinoin—or retinoic acid—is often recommended for persistent acne and is considered the gold standard for preventing visible signs of ageing. However, the benefits of tretinoin are accompanied by some notable drawbacks; namely dry, irritated, red, peeling or flaking skin. Endearingly termed the ‘retinol uglies’, using tretinoin or another prescription retinoid often requires a few skincare tweaks. The best face washes and cleansers to use with tretinoin, Retin-A, or a powerful OTC retinol product […]

The concept of skincare has well and truly collective consciousness of contemporary men. Gone are the days when the average skincare routine for men consisted of a 2-in-1 body and face wash and potentially a bar of soap, with more men than ever concerned about the health and appearance of their skin. That said, any guy who’s ever turned to Reddit (hello r/skincareaddition) for assistance in developing a good men’s skincare routine can attest to the fact that the skincare […]
