    What would be the best moisteuriser for men to use for someone who has sensitive skin, not majorly stubbly, wants skin to look fresh. So many different ones such as l';oreal, nivea etc not sure which one to choose.

    Seconded. Also bit of exercise to open the pours and vitamin e capsules can help.

    I've used E45 in the past!

    The Nivea for men one is fairly good I find.

    Post-shower my skin goes super dry whether I use soap, shower gel, dove or any of those. I'm fairly sure it'd happen if all I used was water. The Nivea for Men moisturiser works very well for me. Keep an eye on special deals and stock upp, it's not the cheapest stuff :)

    Look for your skin type, not whether it's for men or women! Most have very light fragrances, if at all. No one will know you're wearing a "women's" moisturiser!

    But, in saying that, my dad uses Clinique and Clarins for men and is very happy with them. I got my brother some bits from The Body Shop recently and he really likes them. Best thing to do is go into a store and just ask the staff. They know best!

    This nivea moisturiser is the one previous posters have mentioned I'm fairly certain - here's a pic so you know what you're looking for.

    It's about €7 but it can last a long while I find and it's well worth it.

    I'd also recommend using this stuff twice daily - very good to clear up skin

    Never heard of it - how much is it for a 50ml bottle??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 250 ✭✭Funky G


    Using Boots botanic intensive moisturiser spf12

    Think its about €8 for a 75ml bottle.

    Boots normally do 3 for 2 on the majority of mens ranges every few weeks so i stock up.

    I found the nivea to be a bit greasy imo.

    Ideally I would use Clinique For Men M Lotion, however I can't really afford it at the moment!
    So instead I use Nivea For Men Sensitive Moisturiser (it's not cheap either, but waaay cheaper than Clinique products). As other people have mentioned, look out for deals on the Nivea For Men products. I think Dunnes has a 3-for-2 deal on at the moment.

    I have not tried a lot I will admit but most that I have normally end up being greasy, Loreal was the first one I have tried that is not greasy at all so have stuck with that since.

    Eucerin Replenishing Face Cream, i suffer with sensitive/dry skin and this stuff clears up it and makes it manageable superbly
    Would recommend it highly.

    Ive tried alot of different moisturizers, nivea and loreal are very good but recently I've been using Aldi's 'lacura Q10 day cream' and Q10 eye cream.

    It costs €2 a jar/tube and is better than any of the above mentioned products. I'd recommend giving them a go, €2 you cant go wrong...

    L'OREAL works for me especially after 'gentleman's gardening'

    +1 I'm using the lacura Aqua complete from aldi and find it great.use it after shaving also and find it better than anything I've used before.

    I use the Nivea Sensitive one on my forehead as it is prone to be dry while i use the L'Oreal Pure And Matte on the rest of my face as my nose and around my mouth tend to be quite oily and prone to spots.

    I've recently discovered the Liz Earle mens range and find it pretty good for shaving cream and aftershave balm.

    Pricey to have it shipped from their UK online store but there's a shop (Wilde & Greene) on Milltown rd., D6 which carry the range.
