20 Best Skin Tightening Cream For Men (Feb 2023 Update)

I was hesitant to purchase this moisturizer because of the reviews. There was a good sale so I decided to try it. And I was very pleasantly satisfied with it. Some reviews said it was greasy. I didn’t find that at all. I have very balanced skin, and I only have to use a few dabs on my T zone. The bigger jar lasted me months. Kept me very dewy and happy. I recommend this moisturizer to men. Could only be improved by adding SPFJoe Y

I started using the moisturizer after buying a set that included it and the eye cream. I really like it, and I came back today to buy a new jar since I'm near the end. I'm really surprised to see reviews complaining about texture and residue. Maybe people are applying too much? You do not need to apply very much to smooth it out across your skin. My skin is very soft and looks great. My skin is slightly oily on my face, a bit dry on my neck, and the cream works well across all of it. I'll wash my face in the shower, then apply the moisturizer about 10 minutes after I've finished showering. The routine works for me, I'm kind of curious how people with bad experiences are applying it.Johnny in MCO

This was for my husband, who basically does not really believe in skincare or what it can do, but the difference in his skin after using this for a week or so was pretty visible even to him! The cream does not contribute to oiliness and does keep moisture in whole day. The lines on his face appeared to be less visible and the skin tone improved. I couldn't resist and tried it a couple of times on my own skin and, to be honest, I liked it more than some of my own skincare! It does feel very refreshing on the skin, but not as much as the Facial Fuel, I would say. Overall a total winner. My husband doesn't know, but he's getting this for Christmas – again!tomasaves

L'oreal Paris knocks this one out of the park with a wonderful, yet competitively priced moisturizer for men. I use it twice a day after a using a face wash lotion in both the morning and evenings (Nivea Moisturizer Face Wash) and despite it be only 50 ml (which is the usual amount for moisturizers in this price range), a pea drop twice a day will last you about 2-3 months. You will only ever need to use a pea drop size. The product applies very well and after a few minutes, you won't be able to feel it on your skin, but you'll know its working. It does last quite awhile and has a very manly scent that's not overpowering. It will make your skin quite moist and soft. I highly recommend this product.miguel.p

I received this #freeproduct to try and review from L’Oreal and Topbox and was quite surprised with the cream. I actually started to look forward to putting this cream in each day- it has a great natural smell and is not oily. It has great moisturizing qualities and truly feels like it firms your skin. My only complaint is it’s a rather small container so it doesn’t last very long and when you love a cream this much you always want moreGregd

I received the Vita Lift Total Anti-Aging product to try ( #freeproduct ) but there was no link to write the review on the pages that corresponded with that specific product, so I am writing it here. I was pleasantly surprised by the results. I am low-maintenance and don't like the feeling of anything left on my face. Also, I am not particularly concerned about wrinkles, but I am sure the moisture this product provides will help prevent that, especially during the harsh winter months (this would have great to receive a few weeks ago). The scent was also not bad, though I could have lived without it.Ellamay

I got my most recent purchase of anti-aging cream for free. I've gone through a few of these little bottles & I do love how it feels on my face. Why (I think) I got this one for free was, every bottle I get shows a different list of ingredients then what the website says. I messaged them to let them know. Apparently I keep getting the old batch & not the new one. So, they sent me a new one but it was the same ingredients as the old batch. I just assumed I would get one that actually has the newest, updated version of this anti-aging cream. So, for now I give it 4 stars until I can get an updated bottle. However, like I said, I do like the cream so far with many of it's natural ingredients & I know my skin is looking pretty health for my age. So, hopefully next time I'll get the updated version that is supposed to be more natural & therefore, even more healthy.Joseph W.

I’ve been using this cream for about a week now and it seems great, no scent and great texture for night time. By morning you can tell it’s had a positive effect. I’ll be ordering more, along with the daytime equivalent. My only gripe preventing 5 stars is the packaging, the plastic container just feels cheap especially compared to competitors solutions in the same price range. I use the Brickell shampoo and conditioner and am considering other products now too, and it is consistent so far that I always like the products themselves but feel the packaging is a bit of a let down sometimes cheap feeling, or just hard to get the product out of like the conditioner … it’s a somewhat minor point but one I do notice each time I use Brickell’s products.Jesson A.

At 45 I finally decided that maybe I should be trying to take better care of my skin, so I just randomly started with Brickell when I got a promo code from them via email. I had absolutely no expectations that these products would really do anything, and I figured I was probably throwing money away. Well, 18 months later, I can honestly say that I think these products have done a good job. There's no actual "anti-aging" product: that just doesn't exist. And for the first few months, I wasn't using the products very consistently, so I didn't notice much of a difference. But about a year ago I started to get into the habit of using the night serum and anti aging cream every night, and after about 90 days, I definitely noticed a difference. The lines on my forehead really did seem less noticeable, and the rest of my face felt smoother and just more healthy. So I doubled down and started using the face moisturizer/day serum as well, and I liked those even more !! I'm now reordering for the SECOND time ! I think my big objection at first was how "expensive" this stuff was. But I didn't realize how little you use each day. The Anti-Aging Cream lasts about 6-8 months, so the cost is really trivial when you think about it. As a guy, I just didn't realize how little you use at a time: I figured I'd be reordering every month, but that's not even close to the reality. So….if you're looking to up your skin care game, I think this is a really good way to go. And their customer service has been excellent, too. Good luck !Mike

Somehow it gave more acnes. Texture is so heavy, it felt so oily after applying. Not sure to recommend, it didn’t work for my husband.Plum29

Does not leave a sticky residue, skin is moisturized after usage. Size of the product is just nice and love the packaging. Would recommend this if you have oily skin as well because it gets absorbed very quickly.iHerb Customer

I have been using the LOral Paris skin care products for approximately 32 years, due to their excellent prestige, quality control and scents; from my personal point of view such items have fulfilled very satisfactorily with the objective for which they were acquired.garco.com1931_6

Since the Neutrogena Healthy Skin anti-wrinkle cream w/SPF15 w/retinols was discontinued, I have been on a quest to find something similar. The anti-wrinkle cream had a great consistency and scent (smelled slightly of sun-screen). I tried this Healthy Skin firming cream. But it was very different. It felt greasy and I did not like the scent at all. I thought I would just keep it and apply it on my legs but the scent is strong and I can smell it throughout the day.Laina

this is my husbands account, so first off i am a female, i’ve had some issues with wrinkles mostly caused by smoking, but recently i got a chemical burn which caused my face to look more wrinkled and saggy, for both issues i’ve been using retinol, vitamin c, hydroxy acids etc religiously! with little to no change! this is by far my favourite product with the most noticeable results! immediately you’re face looks dewy and healthy, wrinkles are less defined, and in the long term i’ve noticed less wrinkles, less acne scars, my face looks much healthier! and it doesn’t ball like many of my other lotions, it works well with make up, and also I found it as a miracle product for eczema! i’ve tried exzema lotions, steroid prescriptions, NOTHING worked! i have big dry patches/sores on my ankles and top of foot, it’s sore and itchy and dark brown and never heals, i started using hylauronic serum first, then rub this in after, and although it hasn’t completely healed it’s the best it’s been, all the redness is gone, the swelling; the dark brown spots faded, and it’s not as pronounced and dry and itchy and sore. So some people may have bad reviews because this personally doesn’t work for them for some reason, i think it’s one of the best products out there especially for the price range. I also love the feeling of it, and the smell, and a bonus it has spf. just don’t put it on your under eyes or crows feet, i find it (can) sting a little, but it really burns my eyes and makes my eyes watery, that’s my only issue, but not biggie to use a cream specifically for the eye areathomas.s

I've been a loyal user of the Healthy Skin with Retinol and Multi-Vitamins for years. It was always in a pump and looked identical to the packaging of this particular product. However, this is something very different and toxic to my skin. After a few days wearing this, my face has broken out in to a rash and burns. My skin hasn't looked this bad since I was a teenager fighting acne. Apparently, the old product.I used that was in a pump is now in a tube…but at this point I'm scared to try anything since my skin is such a mess. So sad considering I've been such a loyal Neutrogena user for over 20 years. Please change up the packaging on this so others aren't affected like I was.koiblonde74

I really like this product; however, a word of caution, it's only for those that truly need a strong anti-aging moisturizer as it's very thick. I cut this down with a bit of the HA booster that I got a (very generous) sample of, and that really seems to do the trick. I'll probably get the daily essential moisturizer for the warmer weather, as that's also a great product. Heck, I might just order that right now, since I'm already here. Anyway, it has done what it claims thus far and I definitely recommend it for anyone that's in need of a strong daytime anti-aging product.Matt K.

After I purchased the Anti Aging Nightcream and really liking it, I went ahead and ordered the sample kit. I really liked the eye cream and Anti Aging Daycream so I ordered those as well. The Day Cream I received in the sample kit was really nice and the texture was that of a mousse almost. Very nice smell as well. However the full size one I received is like a completely different product. The smell is nothing like the sample and very chemically and the texture is that of a normal face cream but it leaves my skin really oily which the sample did not do.Christopher C.

I love the way this product works. It smooths out the lines and small wrinkles and makes my skin look more youthful. I've had many compliments on how good I look since using it. At my recent 45th class reunion, 4 days after my 63rd birthday, I had many classmates remark how terrific I look. I had one send me a message, saying I was the handsomest and youngest looking man there. Quite a compliment, as I've had a lot of health issues and been dealing with anxiety. I do have some questions about it though. I ordered the unscented, but it has a strong scent, that when you first put it on almost smells like chocolate. Then it ort of has a plant type smell. I read the ingredients and realized there is a lot of geranium in it. Is this what is causing the scent, and is it a necessary ingredient to the function of the product? I have an allergy to geraniums, and find myself waking with asthma. It's not severe, but noticeable. I have had a few other people with allergies say they didn't like some scent I was wearing, and one told me, " If you plan on ever getting into my car again, you'll have to wash that scent off, as I was having trouble breathing." I told them I wasn't wearing a scent, but then realized it had to be the cream. A lot of people suffer from allergies, especially up North in Maine, where we have loads of pollen. I believe more people would enjoy this product if it was without the geranium ingredients. As the end of Summer approaches and Autumn begins, with hay fever, I may have to stop using my product, as this will enhance my allergy discomfort.Patrick G.

I initially put this in my shopping cart intending to give it to my boyfriend, but when I looked at the ingredients I realized I’d use it as well! My boyfriend and I both love it, and we’ve seen some wonderful improvements in our skin since we began using this around 3 weeks ago. I have a pretty extensive nighttime routine, and this fits in perfectly. It does contain retinol, but it’s safe to use around the eye area per the instructions, and hasn’t caused any retinol uglies (peeling, purging etc.) for either of us. Our skin has been plumper, less congested, even toned, bright, and smooth! It’s a great price point and wonderful for both men and women- I’m not one to care about packaging so long as the product delivers and doesn’t smell like axe. I’ve used a plethora of retinol’s (I try them for at least six months before I stop using them) from Shani Darden’s to the Ordinary’s with no visible positive results and simply irritable skin; this one has been my holy grail- it works for me and my beau, and I’m so happy about it.elle.n

I don't speak for all men, but my husband holding a 2 oz tube trying to squeeze out an appropriate amount, without wasting expensive product… it's a bit silly and funny, and it's also a waste of money. Make this in a larger size, make it with a pump so amount is "pre-dosed", and increase the value… because my guys don't care about their skin enough to pay $30 plus for 2 oz of skincare. I'm serious. He thinks this is ridiculous. But, if it's super quick, easy, no fuss and minimal expense, he'll use it right after he brushes his teeth.ebgc

I've been using this product on any Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from the occasional deep zits. After just less than week, one major spot on my chin has been slowly turning over and healing (usually it takes much longer). I'm actually quite impressed and can't wait to see what it will do for the next few months! I've also been applying this cream under my eyes. I'm 23 so I don't have many aging signs but it's never too late to start. I haven't noticed anything yet but we'll see how well this product workS when I hit my 30s. *Since the Women's Resist Serum was sold out, customer service recommended I purchase this product which has essentially the same ingredients.PolskaBlondynka

This cream is very suitable for men to use, not too greasy and very easy to be absorbed by your skin. I have been using this for a few month, can definitely see the positive results, actually have received quiet a few comments from my very close friends on my skin improvement. It looks a little bit expensive, but because you only need to use it at night for repair reason, therefore it can last about 3 months per bottle, it is like $30 a month or $1 per day.XIAOJING S

Have been using this product for 15 years. Have significantly less wrinkles around my eyes compared to my contemporaries.K.

You can't go wrong with biotherm homme. This cream will make your skin look great. Reduce fine lines made my skin look and feel great. My dermatologist asked what I was using to have such good skin. I would recommend this product to any man in their 30s up. One of the few brands that has a line for men and is good.j.

L'oreal Paris knocks this one out of the park with a wonderful, yet competitively priced moisturizer for men. I use it twice a day after a using a face wash lotion in both the morning and evenings (Nivea Moisturizer Face Wash) and despite it be only 50 ml (which is the usual amount for moisturizers in this price range), a pea drop twice a day will last you about 2-3 months. You will only ever need to use a pea drop size. The product applies very well and after a few minutes, you won't be able to feel it on your skin, but you'll know its working. It does last quite awhile and has a very manly scent that's not overpowering. It will make your skin quite moist and soft. I highly recommend this product.miguel.p

I especially use this after shaving because it cools the burn. My wife loves the smell of it too. I've tried almost everything on the market and this, in my accurate opinion, is the best stuff. It is SPF15, hides lines and wrinkles, smells great; just a small dab will cover your whole face and neck. It is about the same price as I used to get it in the store, but now I can only find it online.jcczika2011

My husband really liked using this to keep his newly wrinkles to go away and keep them away. This was a first time using it. The packaging was very appealing. I bought this at Target. He liked the product! The only room for imporvement is the smell.rachel.g

I have only been using this product for approx 1 month and I notice that my skin feels better versus my prior regimen (Mens Neutrogena product). It seems that I will have more than enough of the anti aging and eye cream to go past the advertised 60 day supply. I can't really tell with the serum products. I feel I'm not being too conservative with using the products in the morning and evening and just putting enough on. I guess we'll see. Overall I feel it is worth it so far.Rodney .

I know it's men's skincare but I wanted to try it anyway . I actually really enjoyed using them ! Men's skincare targets the same thing that women's skincare does. Everything absorbed beautifully and was very hydrating and moisturizing. Nothing felt heavy or oily and there was no film or residues left. The vitamin C didn't irritate my skin or anything , it attacked those dark spots and started fading them out. The cleanser was awesome , it got deep Into the pores without drying or stripping me out. I will definitely try more men's skincare in the futuresheila.t

I have written you before regarding the ongoing deterioration in your customer service and your new (and unsatisfactory) products. Nothing has changed. I have received unsatisfactory answers from your "customer service" team. Now, with this last purchase, I think unfortunately I'm done with Brickell. Which is sad, because some of your products (the daily moisturizer, the evening anti-aging routine) are excellent. But considering the high cost, and the frankly lousy customer service, I'm pretty much done. A recap of multiple previous conversations – this has been a steady deterioration in customer service and sometimes, product quality, over the past 18 months or so. All of these issues are known to your people, if you care to follow up: 1. A series of mislabeled products! I received packets of "daily serum" that were NOT the scented daily serum at all – they were some sort of brown unscented product (?) which had clearly been mislabeled. I also received packets of the eye cream that were not the white, thick unscented product I've used, but some sort of runny beige oddly scented product. I threw them away. Clearly the quality control was lacking that order. 2. The sunscreen daily moisturizer was a bad product. Unlike your regular daily moisturizer which I loved, it didn't absorb well at all. It is a thick oddly shiny white paste reminiscent of the old zinc oxide sunscreens lifeguards used at the beach 40 years ago. It also hardens in the dispenser, meaning that when you use it you get a handful of gritty flakes on top of the product! When I mentioned this to customer service I got a ridiculous reply of "well its a fully natural product unlike other sunscreens" – NO, that's not a satisfactory answer. I didn't buy "other sunscreens" I bought a Brickell product – it was LOUSY – and I didn't receive anything but a self-satisfied email. No refund offer, no replacement…just a "well we think its a good product". 3. Finally, the lack of samples with my last order. Again, the fact that you decided to stop your sample program without warning is questionable. That the website continues to offer samples when you don't give them is dishonest. And your customer service regarding this issue – two emails to me saying "Yah, its too bad we stopped giving out samples" with again, no discount or complimentary product – was exceptionally poor. You are following a pattern of a company that has lost interest in its customers and products, and is headed to extinction. It is too bad because I was a loyal customer.Philip P.

Similar to other posts, my wife has seen some improvement in my forehead lines so I will continue usage. It does have a fairly strong, almost glue-like smell, but it does not linger. I use this with clean break moisturizer at night. I have tried usage after shaving and it does tingle a bit but it is not overbearing. I do recommend easing into the product before using 2x a day or after shaving. It did sting the first few tries.Benjamin

Hello JB welcome to my boyfriends life. This is fantastic as he wears this at night as he's so against any daytime moisturizer (unless sunscreen when he golfs) this is extremely light and he wakes with baby soft skin that he loves to show off and his face is non greasy without the tacky left over texture… Really actually no texture except baby smooth skin so I bought his more for him to travel with. Well I ran out of my stuff (prescription acne medication) the one day and I have oily acne prone skin and was going to work and def needed my daily treatment under my makeup I grabbed this and used it for the glycolic acid. Well let me tell you what. This is better than my prescription stuff my skin was FLAWLESS after my 12 hour shift!!!! No blotting, no oil whatsoever!!!! Who would have thought?! So maybe just maybe we'll be sharing this (with or without my prima Donna boyfriends approval haha)rachelouhoo

Pros: Decent size for the price Works really well to fade dark marks left from acne Works okay at helping prevent acne formation (I have really horrible hormonal acne) Cons: Too greasy for my oily skin Feels heavy and takes forever to really sink in Conclusion: Was great as an introduction to glycolic acid. It's a bit strong if you've never used glycolic acid before, so use a little and build up your tolerance. Or start with something more mild. As a night treatment this is okay but if you have oily skin it's probably not going to work for you under makeup.mrl117

Easy to use, nice and creamy, absorbs quickly and long lasting. Being unscented is a bonus as I'm using on my son with autism as well as myself.iHerb Customer

I highly recommend this if you are doing any kind of losing weight program! I had a gastric bypass and I found this to use to help my skin not sag it has been a miracle to me me my skin is firming up as I loss weight I have lost almost 100 lbs and I only have saggy skin on my inner thighs up high and my upper arm my butt is even getting firmer I buy a bottle once a month it's a little pricey but if you really want to work on firming your skin you will buy thisjulia.c

I received my package and I had just got home, so I decided to use it right away. When I got out of the shower my wife immediately noticed that my skin was softer and smelling good. I recommend this package to any make who wants to smell fresh and eliminate the rough, dry skin. I will definitely reorder this soon!Colin P.

The age defy lotion and eye cream are already making a significant difference in my face. Wrinkles are reduced and puffiness around the eyes is reducing as well. So far, so good.Marc W.

EMJ has become my “go-to” brand for anything important to face and body care products. I love how they work and how they smell. Not over the top like some products. This bundle is the deal of the year. I honestly don’t know how they are making any money off this. But it could be that it’s about giving guys a risk-free opportunity to try out a group of products that will pull you in! The only reason I didn’t give this five stars is that like other sunscreen products, I don’t enjoy the thickness. I understand it has to be like that to work — and this does work — but there is something about sunscreen that does cause me to get a blemish or two, which now that I’m at an age where I don’t really deal with acne, it’s a bummer to think that anytime I want to use sunscreen, that is something I have to accept. The eye cream, face conditioner and body soap alone are worth the price of admission. Those are all 5-star. The sunscreen stick is actually a really smart way to apply this product. I highly recommend this special bundle. You never know how long it will be available at this price, so jump on it now!!Matt S.

This stuff really worked, no kidding. My friend purchased, I applied it on my decolletage at 10am yesterday morning (throat area had some beginnings of crepe skin, not super prevalent, but definitely there). 10am yesterday morning. And by that evening at 6pm I noticed the crepe skin was GONE! Not lessened, GONE. I was amazed. Nothing I have ever tried before worked. Again i am 54 yr old woman, applied just on front of my throat.Happy with Results

Used for years…can't always find on shelf when I go to city. Great to have shipped right to my door with no extra shipping costs.Pat W.

Kiehls Will be definitely a must-have in your skincare routine. It makes me feel fresh and renewed. I totally.recommend it for all those who NEED to look young and fresh everyday and everynight. You have to be constant in order to see the results you expect.gabriel.c

I love the company and many of their other products, but I do not like this specific product. Being a type of “gel”, the feeling of it almost seemed it had a water-based consistency. But what really did it was the subtle scent that it left once applied. A mixture of the feeling and scent, it will prevent me from purchasing and recommending. However, there are many other great products from Kiehl’s.Almango

The best non oily moisturiser I have ever come across. HAve been using Kiehl products since last 10 months now and have become a huge fan of them. The product components are og highest quality and suitable for my sensitive skin. Would always recommend them to evern man.Sash

After receiving I was going to return as seal was broken on tub but kept it and been using it once a day for a week now and my friends noticed a difference in my skin and I definitely do it might seem expensive but when you add up all the other stuff I have tried and nothing worked like this one it really has made a difference to my skin it less wrinkly and now smooth would recommend :).. ( I even wore no make up when out other day and felt comfortable as I said less wrinkles 😉 cannot wait to see what the next month brings 🙂paigetony1986

I reached the period of covid in May when we could remove masks and was dumbstruck by how much my mouth had fallen apart. Wrinkles and lines. I discovered Strivectin and began a strong regimen of care. My face is back to pre covid if not better! And no fillers or lasers. I am gradually trying other facets of the product line and am extremely pleased.Sharon E.

Based on all the positive reviews I thought to give this a chance. But sadly I was not happy with it. I'd like to know from others if maybe it took time for it to work. I bought it the first week of January and it is now the 30th. I used it twice a day for a month now. I still have some left and plan to finish the jar. Does it take more time for it to kick in? First of all, I think the majority of the reviews here are for the NECK cream, not THIS FACE cream. That needs to be corrected here. Because the title of the jar says tightening and I didn't feel any kind of tightening at all! I do love the feel of the product. It is like putting butter on my face. Not oily or greasy and dries up really quick, which is perfect for makeup. I was really hoping to see a difference in my wrinkles between my eyes and my nose and mouth but it is just not that much worth it considering the price of $95. So if others have used this face cream, does it take more time?? Because I would invest in another jar if that's the case. I have used products that take longer to work but for the price, I'd hate to try another jar and still get nothing. I'm 46 years old and I'm not a smoker.CoachJacki

I've been using Strivectin neck cream since it first became available, so when I first noticed the tell tale age changes in my face, I turned to Strivectin Tightening and Sculpting face cream. I have occasionally tried different retinol creams and sculpting creams but I always come back to Strivectin. With daily use my skin is moist, soft and still almost completely wrinkle free. I am often mistaken for 15-20 years younger than my age. I am 63.Leslie R.

Lo recomiendo mucho, me sirve porque yo tengo mucha celulitis y me encanta el resultado, llevo usándolo más de un año y son impresionantes los cambios para tu pielmarlen.h

I have been using this for years on and off. I usually use it during summer months for swim suit season! Keeps my legs looking so toned and skin is silky smooth. Of course always use with your workout routine. The scent is very nice and I have not had issues with my sensitive skin.❤️darlyn.v

I have been a faithful user of Clarins products for a long time, so I thought I'll give this eye balm as a gift to my husband, and he absolutely loved it. He usually does not use creams, but this balm helped him get rid of the fine lines and white skin around his eyes due to the cold and he was very pleased. So this balm is a new must-have for him 🙂MayaCh

Great product…if you are actually able to use it. I am displeased with my most recent purchase of this product. Pump action container will not dispense product, and the unique design of it does not allow sealed cap/top to be unscrewed/removed so there isn't a way to get to the product…unacceptable!! This stuff is fairly expensive and I expect quality and functionality in the product as well as the packaging. I like to keep an extra or two on hand, and Home Essentials Direct will not allow return because they say we are outside of the return/refund window. So now I guess I'll have an nice pretty container to look at with my dry wrinkled face…thanks people!H.E.D.C.

I love this product!!! It's got a great texture and doesn't leave any residue. I used it every day for a few weeks and saw amazing results. I continue to use it 3 to 4 times a weeks for continued results.sidney.s
