The Results Are In: The Best Moisturizers For Men That Won’t Feel Greasy

Many moisturizers play double duty, with brightening, exfoliating, or oil-balancing actives alongside rich hydrators. Specific treatments, of course, are up to you and your skin type, but “many of the actives, like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide, retinol, and hydroxy acids, are equally effective in men and women,” says Zeichner. 

Although, men generally have more terminal hairs (thick, strong hairs; opposite of vellus, peach-fuzz hairs), so they may prefer ingredients on the exfoliating and/or calming side to target concerns like facial ingrowns.
