Washes off dirt, sweat and oil without stripping. Sixty seconds, morning and night.

If he’s never done skincare, four products is three too many. This is the smallest routine that actually works.
The two that do the most work. Add the scrub and the SPF later if you want them.

Locks the hydration back in. Stops the tight, flaky feeling after a shower or a shave.
Wet skin, lather in your hands, massage the face, rinse. Moisturiser while the skin is still damp.
Same again to get the day off. This is the one that matters if you only do it once.
Two products, two minutes. Reviewers who had never used anything before are the ones who stick with this pack.
Both full size. The cleanser runs out first because you use it twice a day — subscription handles that without you thinking about it.
Nothing exotic. The things that are actually proven to do the job.
Controls oil and calms redness.
Deep hydration that holds all day.
Antioxidant cover against daily damage.
Nourishes and softens without the grease.
The cleanser also carries green tea extract and glycerin so it cleans without stripping. The moisturiser runs Tasmanian kelp alongside the avocado oil. Full INCI for each product sits on its own page .
“The Essential Pair is the easiest form of skincare for a guy — just wash and moisturise. Can’t mess it up and definitely shows results.”
“Great product for someone who never uses face products. I now use the pair every day and have really noticed the difference.”
“Never felt cleaner. My skin is pretty dry after a shower so with the moisturiser it makes my skin feel amazing”

For most blokes, yes — and it’s a lot better than a four-step routine you abandon in a fortnight. Add the Grub Scrub when you want the pores done properly, and an SPF if you’re outside.
The moisturiser at night, if you’re already washing your face with something. But the cleanser is what stops the day building up in the first place.
The cleanser goes first because it’s twice a day. Reviewers reorder it on its own well before the moisturiser runs out.
No. Stripped skin makes more oil to compensate. This one is lightweight and the niacinamide is there to keep the oil down.
Yes. One reviewer specifically says it rubs through a beard without leaving visible globs.
Yes. A lot of this pack is bought by mums for sons. Nothing in it is prescription strength.
Grub Scrub for blackheads and texture, Sun Gear’d SPF50 if you work outside. Together that’s the Ultimate Starter Kit.
Yep. The granules settle, so give it a quick shake before every use to mix the scrub particles through evenly.
It’s clean and fresh rather than perfumed. Reviewers describe it as not smelling like their partner’s stuff, which is the point.
Charcoal and caviar lime, two or three times a week.
Broad spectrum SPF50 that still lets you make vitamin D..
Silicone buffer that makes your cleanser work harder.
Same job for your back and chest. The most common add-on.
