Most Skincare Advice Doesn’t Work For Guys

Let’s face it — most skincare advice wasn’t written with men in mind.

You’ve probably seen a dozen conflicting tips: exfoliate daily (or not), use 10 products (or just water), avoid oils (or maybe you need them?).

It’s confusing. So most guys do… nothing. Or they borrow whatever their partner uses. Or they try one product and hope for the best.

 

We built Brickell Men’s Products to cut through the noise.

Premium, natural formulas made for men’s skin — and routines that are simple, effective, and actually worth sticking to.

 

Part of that mission to bring approachable, premium skincare to men is simplifying the information so guys can quickly understand the basic ins and outs of taking care of their skin. So we complied a list of the top Do's and Don'ts every man should understand when buying skincare products.

8 Essential Do’s and Don’ts for Men’s Skincare

1. ✅ DO: Use Products Designed for Men

2. ❌ DON’T: Use Generic Drugstore Brands

Men’s skin is thicker, oilier, and faces different challenges — like irritation from shaving, larger pores, and higher collagen density.

Most mass-market products aren’t made for that. Brickell is. Every product we make is specifically formulated for men — and backed by thousands of five-star reviews.

• Clarifying Gel Face Wash – Deep-cleans without stripping
• Daily Essential Face Moisturizer – Hydrates without shine
• Reviving Eye Cream – Targets dark circles, puffiness, and lines
• Renewing Face Scrub – Exfoliates to clear pores and smooth skin
• Anti-Aging Cream – Firms skin and reduces fine lines

3. ✅ DO: Stick to a Simple, Consistent Routine

4. ❌ DON’T: Overcomplicate It

You don’t need a 10-step routine to get real results.

A solid face wash + moisturizer + eye cream routine covers 90% of what your skin needs.

Bonus: our site makes it easy to build your perfect routine based on your goals — whether it’s reducing oil, fighting signs of aging, or just looking more refreshed every day.

5. ✅ DO: Understand Your Ingredients

7. ✅ DO: Give It 2–3 Weeks

8. ❌ DON’T: Expect Overnight Results

Most guys start seeing a difference in 7–14 days — smoother texture, less redness, fewer breakouts, healthier-looking skin overall.

The key is consistency. Give your skin time to respond, and you’ll be surprised what a few good products can do.
