The best men's moisturiser in Australia.

The Questions, asked most

Men's moisturiser, answered.

Do men actually need a different moisturiser to women?

Not really. The active ingredients that drive results — hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide, peptides — work the same on male and female skin. The differences in men's products are mostly cosmetic: lighter textures, masculine fragrance, packaging that signals to the male buyer. If you find a unisex product that suits your skin, there's no reason to switch to a men's-line product.

What's the best men's moisturiser at Coles or Woolworths?

Bulldog Original Moisturiser at $14. The most consistently well-tolerated, fairly-priced men's moisturiser in the supermarket beauty aisle. CeraVe Facial Moisturising Lotion AM is also widely stocked and outperforms most premium men's products at $22.

Is Frasé Skin actually worth the premium price?

Yes, in our testing. The active concentrations are clinically meaningful (most premium men's moisturisers use marketing-grade active concentrations), and at AU$34.99 the Daily Moisturiser undercuts most of the premium tier. It scored 9.2/10 in our eight-week testing — the highest product score in the men's moisturiser category.

Should I use a separate eye cream and face moisturiser?

Optional. The eye area benefits from caffeine-based depuffing serums (The Ordinary Caffeine Solution at $13 is the standard) but a standard face moisturiser applied gently around the eye area is sufficient for most men. Buy a separate eye product only if you have a specific concern — depuffing, dark circles, or fine lines around the eyes.

Is Two Dudes a good men's moisturiser?

Mid-tier. The Glow scored Two Dudes 5.5/10 across the brand's range and the Day Cream specifically at 6/10. Competent and well-tolerated, but not exceptional in the affordable-natural category. Bulldog at a lower price performs better; Frasé Skin at a similar price tier outperforms it clearly. Read the full Two Dudes review.
