To improve patient care and outcomes, leading dermatologists offered their recommendations on men’s products. Consideration must be given to:
- bareMinerals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen
Bare Escentuals Beauty, Inc
“I recommend this product to my male patients when they are not wearing a hat. It protects the scalp from UV damage without a heavy greasy finish.”—Shari Lipner, MD, PhD, New York, New York
- Ducray Alopexy 5% For Men
Pierre Fabre Laboratories
“This dermatologist-dispensed product for men addresses chronic hair loss as well as thinning hair. It contains an optimal level of minoxidil 5% in an elegant unscented formulation and is designed to spray on smoothly and evenly.”—Jeannette Graf, MD, Great Neck, New York
- Facial Fuel Energizing Scrub
Kiehl’s
“This product is great for oily skin and enlarged pores. The particles in the product allow one to get a deep-clean feeling.”—Gary Goldenberg, MD, New York, New York
- Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50
SkinCeuticals
“For men I like to keep things simple. I recommend what I use with the single most important thing being daily sun protection. SkinCeuticals Physical Matte UV Defense SPF 50 is my favorite and I use it after I shave. It goes on smoothly and has a natural tint along with a high SPF.”—Jerome Potozkin, MD, Danville, California
- Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream
Kiehl’s
“I recommend this product for men with frequent irritation from shaving. This cream-based product helps to provide a close shave without as much irritation from other gel-based products. A small amount goes a long way!”—Anthony M. Rossi, MD, New York, New York
