In short, you do need a face cream for men. Because testosterone causes the sebaceous glands to produce oil, most men have oilier skin than women. Men also have thicker skin and produce more collagen (a protein in the human body that decreases as we age and, therefore, causes wrinkles and sagging skin). Skincare is a universal concern, but there are some unique characteristics of male skin that may require different active ingredients and formulations.
While many of your favorite skincare products can be shared, there are some clear differences that require products tailored to your routine.
