20 Best Men’S Skincare For Oily Skin (Feb 2023 Update)

I’ve never had a “skin care routine” before. But I had begun noticing extremely dry skin around my eyes and lips. Store bought lotions weren’t working. I received a sample of the “AM” moisturizer and decided to try the Level 1 set. After using it for the first month, I am very happy with the results. The moisturizer’s work very well. So much that when I work the off shifts at work and forget to moisturize, my skin doesn’t look or feel dry. I’m incredibly happy that this was able to cure the dry skin issues I was having. My face no longer hurts because it feels dry and tight. I’ll continue to use these products as long as they keep working!Joshua

I am absolutely adoring my Hanley products. I have terrible combination skin. It's 100% dry and 1000% oily. Just do the math. I've long had to avoid almost any kind of lotion or sunscreen because it makes my face explode like it caught that cordyceps fungus from the Last of Us. But every single one of Tiége Hanley's products does exactly as advertised. My nose has even lost all of its blackheads! Gross, but awesome. And the products leave my skin feeling great, too. It might sound like I'm going overboard here, but I've been searching for products like these for 35 years. Probably would have done wonders in my 20s, but at least I have them now. Just so no one thinks this is a paid review or anything, the one "area of improvement" I can think of is I wish that the "Wash" face wash lathered. I have to apply it like you would "dot contouring" with makeup, then rub it in. I'm fine with that for everything else, but it'd be nice to just rub the face wash all over. Anyway, thanks for the tremendous products!David

Bought this product together with Bulldog Serum. After washing and toning then serum follow by this anti aging moisturizer. It’s specifically used for men. Good price for 100ml content. Nice scent , not greasy or sticky, due to its plant based content can be use also for sensitive skin. Frequency day and night daily use. I love the product.iHerb Customer

The moisturizer is quite thick and yields less of a matte finish than I've experienced with other Oil Control face creams. The scent, while intended to be manly, I'm not sure it's what I would prefer. Maybe something more "musk"? I will say, this was by far the best price but as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for?Thomas

I shave every day and make multiple passes with a safety razor. I was looking for something to take the sensitivity and coarseness away after using aftershave…this product delivered right-on. It has a pleasant smell and consistency in application. Since I live in a variable temperature environment, the lotion kept my skin smooth and cool. I found the Bull Dog Moisturizer not too greasy and oily. It goes on wet and dries up in about 5-10minutes. It feels refreshing and cooling especially when it is warm outside. If you are looking for a moisturizer that doesn’t make you look and feel sweaty, this is the perfect application. No irritation and no red spots as it hydrates perfectly to your face. It's refreshing and can be used as an after shave and moisturizer. Bull Dig Age Defense is a very good product that will leaves your skin feeling nice and cool, with minimal fragrance. You may want to consider using the Bull Dog Aftershave immediately after shaving and then wait about 15 minutes and apply the Bull Dog Age balm…fabulous combination!psu77

Moisturizer prefs are personal and the characteristics of this one are different enough so that it stood out to me amongst the dozens sent in my Birchbox subscription. In fact this is the only one I ended up buying. Like someone else said, this smells like tea tree oil so if you don't like that scent…. To me, it smells fresh and clean but dissipates properly. I like the gel-like consistency and light weight, it was the differentiator for me. Keep in mind, that means your skin soaks up more of it; the pea-sized dosage recommendation for high end, denser facial moisturizers doesn't apply to this one. I use 5x that. That's not a big deal, IMO, by weight it's cheaper than some Oil of Olay. My only beef is the packaging. The shipping box was all paper so that's great, but the product container is completely unrecyclable. I'd pay more for glass bottle with no throw away pump. Kiehl's is owned by some massive company so that should mean it'd be super easy, bc plenty of bottles to repurpose.Adam W

Still undecided on this one. While it does decrease the amount of oil shine during the day when it counts the most, in the evening it's almost like my skin releases all the oil that was being held back during the day and I look and feel greasier than I did before. So for me at least, yes, it eliminates oil, but not for anywhere remotely close to 24 hours. Eight to ten hours, sure. The scent isn't offensive and doesn't linger on me, but I'd strongly prefer something unscented.BMcS

I was a bit skeptical when I first ordered this product. I have always, and I mean always, had a huge problem with oily skin around my t-zone. However the rest of my skin has a dryness issue, so clearly I need to use a moisturizer. So I've always felt that the moisturizers I have used have increased the oiliness around my t-zone and made shininess a bit worse. This product is really amazing, I use it every day (with a heavier moisturizing cream at night) and I always have just enough skin hydration without greasiness. Now I will add one problem I've had while using the product- I work in a restaurant, so obviously there will be some grease in the air. After a long time working (i.e. running around frequently and always being on the go, not to mention the condition of the air in a steakhouse kitchen) I will occasionally still have SOME greasiness in my t-zone. However, I don't fault the product for this as I feel that the circumstances are somewhat unusual. The only reason I mention this issue at all is because you can't expect this product to work miracles, I certainly don't. But it DEFINITELY works better than any other moisturizer I have used before; nothing has met my needs as well.Seth

I happened upon this site by chance while searching for aftershave. It was just a couple of months ago, and my "routine" was to brush my teeth in the morning, and at night shower with Irish spring bar soap and whatever shampoo/conditioner was on sale at CVS. I saw the free sample offer, and figured, why not? Browsing the site after ordering a sample kit, I figured I'd use the samples that I cared to, throw out the rest, but it didn't matter because I'd definitely never buy any soaps or moisturizers that were so expensive. I was completely blown away. The first thing that I used was the charcoal face soap, in the morning shortly after waking up. I'd never used a soap that left me feeling so clean, but was so gentle on my face. And the subtle minty coolness-it was invigorating, I felt fully awake and ready to start my day. I always thought that "invigorating face wash" was marketing BS that sounded good, but didn't really mean anything. After that, I went through the samples a bit more seriously, and started using the serums and creams in the morning and at night, and started to notice that my skin looked and felt healthier, which was something that I never paid attention to or cared about. I was pleasantly surprised with how long the tiny sample tubs lasted, too, which put the price point into perspective. The premium price tag is because they are premium products with high quality ingredients that work very well in small amounts. I made sure to place my first real order soon enough that I wouldn't run out of anything and break my new routine. Fast forward to today, I started my day by washing my face with charcoal face wash, followed by spritzing with toner, an application of day serum, and moisturized with eye balm and resurfacing cream. After a long, hot day of work in the kitchen, I showered with the all-purpose hair and body wash, after getting out, another spritz of toner, used the renewing face scrub before shaving- I haven't tried Brickell shave oil or cream yet, those are next-followed by your aftershave. Before bed, another round of charcoal soap, night serum, eye balm, and revitalizing cream. This has gotten a bit long, but I wanted to use the review of this routine to mention how much I love all of these Brickell products. I'm so pleasantly surprised, I had absolutely zero intention to ever purchase anythjng, and didn't give even the tiniest…heck…about skin care. But my skin just feels healthy and happy, I feel cleaner, I'm really blown away as someone who never considered a "routine". I'm honestly shocked at just how happy I am incorporating these products into my day.Aaron B.

I’ve always been a big believer in Prevention is the best for of treatment. I broke out insanely, like never before. So i started to search for face washes, moisturizers, etc. at first i found harry’s..loved it..used an aveeno face moisturizer with the best reviews on amazon and considered number 1..hated the smell & it irritated my eyes..go figure it seemed to have some weird gold flakes or sparkles lol screw that. It was decent though, gotta give credit where its due. I wasn’t completely satisfied, with the moisturizer at least. Harry’s body wash stopped my body breakouts it was great. Then i remembered using brickells clarifying gel face wash. I think during that time was when my face was the clearest and nicest…so i did my research on amazon, but saw a review about a sample..decided to order. WOW. Not a single breakout from mostly using face wash and moisturizer twice a day as they recommend. No oily skin, no acne, dark spots going away, nice dry feel but my face looks good. I like to keep it simple. So i went with the face care routine. Turns out clarifying gel dried my skin…so it wasn’t for me now. I now use the purifying charcoal face wash with the moisturizer. All i need. You get what you pay for guys. Also i doubt these things only last 2 months haha. You need the tiniest amount of moisturizer. The face wash super liquid but you don’t need much either. Great products. Not expensive when we live in the age everyone wants to look good.Alan O.

I have noticed a steady improvement in men's skincare over the last several years and I have to say your products are right up there with some of the best I have used. I turn 52 this year and although look younger I'm vain and want to keep it that way as long as I can…lol! I started with this trio and have recently ordered an additional face wash and added the face scrub this time to give it a try along with the charcoal body bar and the free sample kit to try out some other products in your line. The face wash is absolutely a five star. Great lather, great fragrance, and a little goes a long way. Clean feel and most importantly truly clean skin and I'm talking up close. Pores are debris free and way less inflammation than I've gotten from some other cleansers. The only reason I'm ordering so soon is because my husband has commendered it and it's going a little faster. The one thing I am most picky about with skincare is a moisturizer and this one is perfect. I have oily/combination skin and live in a humid climate about 4-5 months out of the year and this stuff isn't heavy at all, absorbs nicely and does what I need it to do and gives a really nice matte finish to my skin. A little goes a long way, like seriously less than a dime size does my whole face and neck. The toner is lighter in fragrance which I am fine with and doesn't dry my skin out or make it feel tight but works for controlling oil and getting rid of razor burn. How did you do that? : ) This was a great way to start using your products or if someone is looking to just use a small and simple 3 step skincare system. I also purchased the mask and let me tell you a little goes a long way. It took a couple of times to get the application right but I'm all good now! Looking forward to adding in a few additional products and doubt very much that I'll be disappointed. Also, your turnaround time from order to shipping to receiving is the fastest I have ever seen. As you can tell I'm pretty impressed and have started suggesting to my guys to give your products a try. Here's to hopefully many years of continued good skin!Christopher

Solution – easy to use products without skin irritation, dryness or by rashes. Quality – excellent Hair solutions – pretty good. Face products line, exceptional. Bevel is the in the only skin and face line that moisturizes, cleanses and ensures a natural look.Michael P.

Every since. Started using the Bevel shaving system it was improved my skin condition instantly. I now us all the product line except the clippers and I hope that will be my birthday gift. I wish bevel had a Cologne and a travel kit to choose from.James J.

This bundle is great and should be a must have! The combination of the Face Wash, Toner & Face Gel Solution is perfect! Ever since using this product, I can see a immediate change in my facial appearance. This bundle is something I’ll look to buy in rotation! Must buy if you’re looking for a great, consistent product to use for your face & neck.Demetrius S.

I have used the face scrub, hydro gel moisturizer, and the dark circle eye-roller for about two years now. When the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were rolled out, I couldn't help but to buy them. If you follow a routine for skin care, you will see incredible results! I love these products!William Golightly

My Wife recently managed to convince me to invest in Branded products for skincare and ditch my Ayurvedic product. Reluctantly I agreed. I managed to purchase the trial pack of those teeeny tiny miniatures which one could of received for free as samples from the local retailers and in all honestly was really impressed with the product feel. I followed through and purchased this product. I love the packaging, size, ease of use. The product applies easily, absorbs quickly. Skin feels fresh with no oily or sticky residue. Takes minimal bathroom space and I have been using it daily for the last 6 weeks and there is still some product left. This is a must have.Yashik

I fisrt came across this oil as part of a complimentary gift, in a 30 ml size bottle. From the first application, I fell in love. Keen on delicious scents, that is what first attracted me it is fresh yet not citrusy so, not so uplifting that it cant be used before bedtime sweet but not sickly and lacks that overtly fresh scent which can prove too masculine.It has a classy, feminine scent which lingers nicely. It is very versatile in that it can be applied anywhere on the bodyIve used it from my neck right down to my toes and pretty much anywhere in betweenAlthough not the finest oil Ive ever tried, it does absorb, although not at once, so its best not to use it if you are in a rush.Having just reached the age of 40, I am anxious to look after my hands and love to rub it in on the backs of them l before bedtime.It feels very soothing and keeps the skin there wonderfully supple.I also apply it gently to my neck and decolletage around once a week and rub into damp skin on my elbows, knees and feet after an evening soak in the bath.I would caution dressing directly after application lest it should mark your clothing.To conclude, I wholeheartedly recommend this comforting, nourishing oil, whether for massage or moisturising. Its the only body treatment I can ever see me needing. Although pricey, a little goes a surprisingly long way and as soon as you open the gorgeous glass bottle, the scent alone will reassure you, youve made the right choiceAnonymous

They say that age is just a number and its true. The number of wrinkles, ailments, and so on. Eyesight getting sketchy Check. Creased foreheed Check. Balding Ohh, yes.Now, Im not one to fight age. Im a craggy faced old mod. Ageing like a fine wine. But you dont want a crusty face. I was given a 50 ml tub of Clarins super hydratant as a gift I usually just use E45 when I remember and here are my thoughtsPackaging very science. Touch of the Patrick Bateman. All good.Consistencyappearancefeel ungreasy. The product is the colour of a Robin Reliant car Nordic Blue. There may be science behind this, there may not. But for my money it looks a bit toothpastey as well as bringing back memories of a threewheeled car. On the skin it feels a bit like the way menthol antidandruff shampoo does on the scalp cool, soothing.Smell this stuff is scented and it doesnt need to be. It smells alright, but its core purpose is to make me not have a crusty boat race.Price not cheap.Geezer factor 410 overall. The packaging is ok but the Reliant Robin colour and the scent are unnecessary. Ill go back to E45 rather than shell out for more of this when the bottles done.Anonymous

This product is amazing! It foams up just slightly between your hands for you to rub all over your face. My skin feels so clean and soft after washing with this. It also helps to soften my stubble too. All this without my skin feeling dry or too tight.marek.j

Great everyday cleanser. Good for basic face cleaning without all the gimmicks. Cleans easily and makes my face feel super pure without being dry. I would compare it to their version of a dermatologist recommended cleanser like Cetaphil or Neutrogena but this one is way better! It doesn't bother me at all since it is allergy-tested and fragrance-free. That is one of the big pulls I have to Clinique. I think we take it for granted that we can all use all of their products that actually give results while not being worried about any sort of reactions! Love it.Brando

The Oil Control Face Wash has been reformulated earlier on in 2020 — one of the biggest differences is that the ingredient menthol has been removed. This can be confirmed in the updated ingredient listing for this product as well as speaking directly with a Clinique representative both online and in their New York offices — which is exactly what I did in November of 2020. While I'm in favor of removing menthol, Clinique is still sending out the older versions of this item with that ingredient in it. My most recent order confirms this as well. I'm quite anxious to try this updated version and after calling Clinique directly, as well as several Clinique counters, nobody has a clue as to when the updated version will actually be the one a customer receives when placing an order. Really, Clinique?!Jeffery

Clinique is the best product whether its for him/her. its alcohol free. Better value for money and the best shop to but these products are Myer because its my store and i always purchase these products either in the store or online. So happy with Myers Store. Its sad that the Blackthorn branch closed down as it was closer tome. Be happy and trust Myers.slal52

Bought this set for my partner when it was on sale. Great cost performance as he uses the same facial wash and cream already and likes them. I have been using the shaving cream (which turned out to be a pleasant surprise) on my legs and it is better than what i used before!! Overall I'm very happy with this set! Great value!Anna

used to love this stuff, and it's still my favorite. It has a neutral scent and made my skin look and feel radiant with no greasy feel. It also eliminated any dryness I had with no burning sensation that some other moisturizers cause me. Unfortunately, my skin is acne-prone and I had to discontinue using this daily due to containing mineral oil. However, I did use this for about 8 months with no issue, and I attribute my breakout to other factors. I use this every once in a while when my skin needs a nice boost.anan.p

I started using this after searching online for a product that I had not tried yet. I came across this. I started using it faithfully because I hated coming home and looking in the mirror and notice how shinny and unattractive my face was. I have very oily skin and have been plagued with horrible acne ever since I think the very second my body recognized I had hit puberty. I started noticing right off that my face didn't have a shine to it anymore. This seemed to last all day and I was extremely happy about that. Well a week to 10 days passed and I was shaving and noticed how firm my face had become.!! I couldn't believe it? A product that does exactly what it says it will do and then some. I have always liked Clinique's products and felt as though they were made with the same high quality Ingredients as the other big name products out there. The difference with Clinique is the price, they have always kept their prices reasonable.Kevin

I've used many high-end products including Aesop, Kiehl's, Malin + Goetz, and etc. I read about this product on some online editorial (maybe it was Mr. Porter – I forgot) and decided to try it. It's not like anything I've used before. It definitely moisturizes but your skin stays silky smooth, not wet like most moisturizers. The smoothness stays throughout the day without having to reapply. I've used the combination of the oil control exfoliating tonic along with the scrub. I used to break out a lot but not any more since I started using these. I realized that my skin was dry and produced excess sebum to compensate – my pores got clogged and led to breakouts. To make long story short, this is an excellent product worth trying once. I'm getting rid of Aesop. Dead serious.S

The Clinique is my favorite. It gives me the perfect amount of moisture, which doesn't make my face feel oily or greasy, and it also gives my face a nice matte finish, which I like. I like to use the Clinique Men's face wash before I use this product, and sometimes I also use toner if my face is really bad.jeff.h

Bioterm has such unique products, that work wonders! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for the freshest most revitalized skin! I cannot thank this company enough. If you haven’t tried them yet, what’s stopping you?! Check them out today!!taylor.m

I can have a reactive skin at times with certain products. I have used most Biotherm creams without any problem until now. It looks like this one might be too harsh on my skin. I don't recommend to dry/combination skins like mine. However plenty of other Biotherm products are great options!madcowfromsaturn

This little gem came in a bundle that I purchased to try out different products. I recommend folks to purchase bundles to get the vast array of products that they offer. I have very dry skin that coincides with the side effect of a skin disorder that I have. A lot of facial cleansers I am allergic to or have reactions to. So I was wary of this, but I gave it a try. I was thrilled that I didn't have a reaction or a breakout from using it. But the best surprise was how soft and clean my skin was. The brush is soft, yet firm enough to give your skin a good cleaning, deep in your pores to remove all the dirt and oils. Those who have very reactionary skin, I do recommend this.Brenda C.

I have been using it since about a year ago. I totally love their face wash products. I have tried three different ones and they all work wonders in my face. As soon as I get pimples in my face I use this wash twice daily and literally those pimples go away without leaving marks in my face!! It take about 2-3 days for pimples to disappear but it honestly works wonderfully!!!Yesenia G.

I was really impressed as to how clean and and hydrated my face felt after I washed my face with the Apple cider vinegar facial wash. You just need 1 pump ( it goes a long way) and the brush is soft yet firm. My face also did not feel stripped or tight after washing. I am in love with this facial wash thank you WOW skin science. I received this item free for my honest opinion.Melissa S.

The face wash is the best I have tried. It feels and smells great, cleans well and you can regulate how much oil you want to remove by use more/less product. However, I never found it to irritate my drier areas even when I used a little too much product. It spreads with water incredibly well and makes this product very versatile. My daily routine: Brickell Clarifying Gel Face wash, a witch hazel toner, Brickell Daily Essential Face Moisturizer. Three times a week I use another brand's facial scrub only because I prefer the scent and form factor (mint/eucalyptus in a squeeze bottle). I have used the Brickell scrub and it is excellent. I have combination/oily skin and this face wash did a ton to even out my skin tone. All of Brickell's products are excellent, but this face wash and the Daily Essential moisturizer are the ones that really "do it" for me.Patrick B.

I have oily skin. Seems no matter what I would do, after just a few hours into the day, my face would begin to get a shine to it and half way through the day it would feel dirty. This was from all the oils that my face would produce throughout the day. I e tried many different face washes, and the only ones that worked also dried my skin out way too much. I’d end up with dry spots on my face. I first tried this wash in one of the sample kits(highly recommend those), and now use it every day. Follow it up with the balancing toner, and I’m all set.Scott C.

I now alternate between this face wash and the charcoal one. They're both so unique and perfect in certain ways, so I decided I'd just move back and forth. The clarifying gel has an immediately noticeable sweet smell (reminds me of honey). Goes on smoothly, and I only need to use a tiny amount for my whole face because it spreads so nicely. So this last bottle lasted me a few months of DAILY use. Leaves my skin really soft and has prevented the drying out that used to happen every year in the winter.Raymond A.

I am a long time Clinique fan and was so excited when I saw this product. I bought it for my husband and it has resolved his oily skin issues, amongst other things. I have noticed decreased pore size, and his skin is less irritated than it used to be.Sarahh9

I've always had an oily complexion and most cheaper facial scrubs clean well, but leave my face quite oily about 30 minutes after a shower. So I thought I'd spend a little extra and get the Clinique for Men Face Wash Oily Skin Formula. It took about a week, but my skin is definitely less oily after each nightly shower. I feel that the product still cleans my skin well, but doesn't result in an oily outburst in the hours after. I still have and I guess i always will have an oily complexion, but the clinique oil control fave wash definiely helps control it. I will continue to buy this product as the extra cost is worth it.Dash75

I've been using this system for a couple weeks now and I love it! Really is great for my skin and works wonderfully! With this system, I finally have my acne fully under control!Joe B.

VERY DISAPPOINTED. this is my first ever review on anything on online. I used to get 1 or 2 break out every once in a while. After reading some great reviews on other products, I wanted to give it a try. Didn't expect such worse outcome. It's my 3rd week using this acne control system (using all of 'em), every week I get couple new breakouts, made my skin worst everMarco R.

I used to get breakout every once in a while, so I wanted to give it a try, as soon as I started using this, it gives me pimple, I thought I should try couple weeks to see the actual results, but unfortunately I have more new pimples and it left scars. Very disappointedRajwan K.
