What skincare products do you use? (lemdro.id)

Looking specifically for men but I’m open to all opinions. I’ve been doing some experimenting over the last 2 and a bit years, trying to find what works best for me. I’d love to get some opinions on what has worked for others.

stuff I’ve tried:

L'Oréal Men Expert (no complaints)
Bull Dog (not the biggest fan)
Neutrogena (no complaints either)
SkinCeuticals (borrowed from my partner who got some as a gift)

I’m in Europe if it helps

Pay attention to what women are using, aside from dealing with make up the skin care routine isn't that different.

In the shower I use a daily foaming face cleanser. Using soap is worse on facial skin (ends up causing more breakouts, etc.).

I use bar soap for the rest of my shower routine.

In the mornings and evenings I moisturize dry skin areas (mainly hands and lips).

Before shaving I always exfoliate.

In the U.S. I tend to use Aveeno products for that stuff but you should be able to find equivalents of those things in Europe.

Aveeno is widely available in the UK, don't know about the rest of Europe.

We’ve got loads here in Ireland

TIL :)

Did a quick google search before commenting & saw people talking about not being able to find Aveeno in Europe so wasn't too sure. Maybe that just applies to other countries beyond the Ireland / UK area.
