1. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel
If you’re a man with sensitive skin, this gel is for you. Costing less than $20, it’s a cool, lightweight moisturizer with hyaluronic acid, which draws and retains moisture to the skin.
2. EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46 Face Sunscreen
Sometimes sensitive skin involves acne breakouts, which certain sunscreens can exacerbate. With this combined moisturizer and sunscreen, your skin has the ultimate protection that won’t leave a residue. However, it’s a higher price point than other options at over $40.
3. Narcyss AM PM Multi-Purpose Moisturizer
Men looking for a face lotion suitable for day or nighttime recovery can't go wrong with Narcyss AM PM Multi-Purpose Moisturizer. It’s packed with natural ingredients like plant and mushroom adaptogens, green tea extract, and aloe vera, which all skin types can use. Get it for about $30.
4. Aesop Seeking Silence Facial Hydrator
While it’s a pricier option at $60, you only need a tiny bit to feel its effectiveness. This hydrator is great for men who deal with skin irritation such as sunburn or razor burn. Ginger root, bisabolol, and squalane help reduce inflammation and treat redness while effectively hydrating.
5. Ursa Major Golden Hour Recovery Cream
Looking for more than gel or lotions? Men looking for overnight repair can get this cream packed with antioxidants and nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and E, and several omega fatty acids. Black currant adds firmness to skin, while sea buckthorn hydrates.
6. Caldera+ Lab The Base Layer
Get deep hydration for anti-aging protection. Thanks to ingredients like plant stem cells, sea silt extract, and tremella mushroom, this moisturizer offers extra support to men’s skin barrier.
