What skincare products do you use? (lemdro.id)

Looking specifically for men but I’m open to all opinions. I’ve been doing some experimenting over the last 2 and a bit years, trying to find what works best for me. I’d love to get some opinions on what has worked for others.

stuff I’ve tried:

L'Oréal Men Expert (no complaints)
Bull Dog (not the biggest fan)
Neutrogena (no complaints either)
SkinCeuticals (borrowed from my partner who got some as a gift)

I’m in Europe if it helps

I usually recommend the cerave / cetaphil stuff, especially if your skin is harder to take care of.

Otherwise I refer to the CDA list to double check if it's recommended. It covers the following

Fragrance-free or unscented

Gentle on skin to avoid skin irritation

Do not contain common allergens

Do not clog pores

Vouching for Cerave too, got a liter of their moisturizer here, does no leave my skin oily and feels great.

I also use La Roche-Posay exfoliant and anti-sebum cream to combat my forever acne (actually seems like one of the only things that work for me).

I work construction and live in an area with high winds pretty regularly (always getting blasted by dirt). I use the CeraVe face wash and moisturizer. It's great and really helped my face.

Cerave's great for eczema!

I got cerave as a face lotion, my husband uses it maybe more than I do.
