    I don't know if you specifically need a male moisturiser, unless maybe for your face after shaving? I can't give much advice on that but I get a Dove Hydrating moisturising for my boyfriend and he says he likes it because it dries in quickly.
    As for body, depends on you skin type I think but a good non perfumed, all round good moisturiser I think you can't go wrong with E45 lotion, also in boots

    Is it for day it night? I'd really recommend something with spf if it's for day time, makes a big difference. I think something like nivea q10 for oily skin would be good, it's light but moisturising (i have dry skin) and it has spf 15.
    I really don't know if you do need to go for a male specific moisturizer? Sorry i can't recommend any

    I've become a huge fan of using Proraso Pre and Post Shave cream after shaving. It's excellent at stopping razor burn, ingrown hairs and irritation.

    About 15 minutes after applying that I use Kiehl's Facial Fuel. It's non-oily and doesn't need to be reapplied during the day. Really evens skin tone as well.

    Before bed I apply Lab Series Overnight Renewal Serum. It's fantastic.

    A lot of male moisturizers are about marketing, essentially it is the same stuff as the womens version but aimed at men. My brother (OH won't touch the stuff, barely get him to use suncream in the blistering heat) uses Nivea. He used to use the male version until he bought the wrong one (womens) and he hasn't changed back because he finds it doesn't have a smell like the mens. He shaves and has hot showers everyday (sometimes twice per day) and has great skin. Defo get one with an SPF, most will have something around factor 15.

    Agree with lorebringer - womens nivea is better

    My husband uses Aveeno and Bulldog, finds them both great.
