The 10 Best Skincare Products You Should Be Using Right Now (2025)

Skincare is more than what soap you’re using to wash your face. Though, let’s start there. You shouldn’t use the same soap you wash your body to wash your face. There is a reason skincare products are made for your face. Facial skin, while technically part of the same organ, requires a little more care. It’s more sensitive and can have its own set of issues, from acne to wrinkles to rosacea.

Skincare products can address any of the issues you hope to prevent or control much better than your bar soap. But not all are created equal. Whether you’re hoping to have less wrinkles, zap zits, cut through excess oil, or just generally look fresher and more alert, there’s a skincare product that can help you. Start simple, with a good cleanser and moisturizer, and work your way up from there. As for what to use? These are the 10 best skincare products for men, tested by Men’s Health editors, and they’re the perfect place to start.

This calming cleanseris effective enough to wick away sweat and dirt after a workout, but won’t leave skin feeling dry and tight.

Daily moisturizer can make you look like an oil slick, so opt for a matte product like Ernest by Ernest Supplies Matte Face Moisturizer.

This cream is thicker than your daytime moisturizer, which means it helps protect and hydrate your skin all through the night (and contains hyaluronic acid to help moisturize your skin cells from within).

This mineral sunscreen has a matte, powdery finish, so you don’t have to worry about extra shine.

This de-puffing eye geluses a metal roller ball to apply energizing ingredients like caffeine to help get rid of fluid buildup.

Get you a face product that can do both. This milky concoction clarifies and balances your skin like a toner, but moisturizes and protects like a moisturizer.

Retinoids can help reduce fine lines and control breakouts but can be harsh. Look for a gentler version in a cream form, like Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream.

Until recently this potent acne treatment was only available by prescription. The good news is that you can now buy it over the counter. The even better news is that it still works (really well).

Swiping on this toner after you wash your face can help lighten sun spots and hyperpigmentation, thanks to both glycolic and lactic acids which are powerful exfoliating agents.

The Jaxon Lane 100% Hydrogel Bro Mask delivers deep hydration. Use it if you have dry, oily, red, or wrinkled skin and you’ll see a huge difference with little effort.
