If you’re like most guys, your daily grooming ritual is an efficient one. Your vanity is not overflowing with products; it contains only the essentials. Among those essentials, we hope, is a good facial moisturizer. It’ll not only soothe your skin after shaving, but if it contains SPF, it’ll keep that handsome mug of yours handsome for years to come. (If you’re not yet handsome, you will likely need a more expensive, more imaginary cream to help you.) Here, the best things to put on your face this summer.
Jack Black Double-Duty Face Moisturizer with Blue Algae Extract and Sea Parsley
SPF 20
Jack Black produces an incredibly light, scent-free cream, complete with SPF 20, anti-oxidants and vitamins A, C and E. US $26/98 mL (price has been corrected)
Baxter of California Super Shape
SPF 15
Baxter may feel a bit like high-grade sunscreen when initially applied, but in fact, the aloe vera leaf juice-fueled cream is absorbed quickly and completely. US $18/120 mL
Lubriderm Daily Moisture
SPF 15
Lubriderm is a dermatologist’s staple, and at $11 a bottle, it’s a moisturizer for the masses. $11/480 mL
Bread & Butter Daily Face Moisturizer
SPF 15
Canada’s Bread & Butter makes an interesting proposition: Order your facial moisturizer, face wash and lip balm as a package by annual subscription, and they’ll deliver it to your doorstep, sans alcohol, scent – or hassles. Kit, $85/year
Anthony Logistics for Men Oil Free SPF 15
SPF 15
Chamomile and aloe vera extract soothe your face, while glycerin holds the moisture in. It’s ultra-efficient, so a tiny bottle might last for months. US $31/74 mL

You misquoted the Jack Black product.
$22/236 ml is for the “Works well With…” recommendation of their shave lather product.
The Face moisturizer you’re recommending is in fact $26/98 ml
i swear by AVEDA Tourmaline Charged Protecing Lotion
SPF 15 Oil-Free
75 ml (about 50$)
have tried all the others and it is the best (for me)
only negative is the pump dispenser leaves about 10 to 20% of the product in the container and you have to stand on your head to get the last bit out….at that price you dont leave it in.
O.K. Gentlemen if you want comfortable skin & visible results RE9 Advanced for Men is the best anti-aging line out there! Exfolitating wash, shave gel, post-shave balm and facial moisturizer with SPF 20. Bonus – vegan certified and all for $140.! How do I know? My athlete , just turned 50 yr. old husband never looked so good!
That first image gave me a fright, screwed my face up straight away. Men really should use moisturizers with SPF in, they make such a differnce.
