Skincare Routine
So my skincare routine is as below and has worked fairly well. Just wanted to share/see what you all are doing.
Morning:
- Face Wash / Sunscreen / Moisturizer
- Green Tea / Caffeine serum (game changer for dark skin around eyes / bags)
Night:
- Niacinamide Face Wash
- Retinol serum 4-5x a week
- Lactic acid serum for exfoliating 1x a week
- Peptide Serum 2x a week (see below / has been a game changer)
- Snail mucin + moisturizer after the serums every night
That's pretty much it. I use benzoyl peroxide over night if I need spot treatment for acne. I also just try to drink a ton of water / green tea daily and do cardio a few times a week alongside my workouts
Someone else can post the Bateman routine. I just wash with cool water in the morning and moisturize + apply sunscreen. At night I'll use a cleanser and exfoliate twice a week. I use retinol nightly and use SK-II after I shave ~every other day. Other thing that helped me was switching to a safety razor which I always thought seemed so try-hard but it helped get rid of razor burn completely for me.
Agree - Sunscreen is proven to be very good for moisturising
How did you come up with it ? Any resource particularly helpful advice for the different products ?
Tbh my ex girlfriend was into it and I started using her stuff. The stuff below is the way I think about it, these are basically the foundations of a good skincare routine IMO.
Daily moisturizing/sunscreen protection
Gentle daily high quality face wash to clean the oil/dirt from your skin
Some mix of brightening/nourishing skincare serums most of the week
1x exfoliant per week
Hydration/Exercise is obvious
Lol my ex girlfriend also put me on my skincare routine. Thank god woman get into this type of thing so I don't have to do any research.
Morning: Facial Cleanser, Moisturizer
Evening: Facial Cleanser, Moisturizer, Anti-Redness night cream (I get naturally red skin)
Honestly it's simple but effective...my skin feels great and my pores are clean and my redness has gone down substantially
Wouldn’t recommend doing nia. at night, switch it out for a La Roche posay cleanser and get an nia. serum for the day. See if you can tolerate prescription grade Tretinoin instead of retinol serum at night, absolute gamechanger. Love the snail mucin!
Is Tretinoin just super strong retinol / vitamin A? I just looked it up and it seems to be 20x the strength - sounds a little scary but can imagine that being super effective. My skin is super used to retinol now given I've been using it on the regular for months
Yeah, otc retinol is converted to essentially tretinoin which lowers it’s effectiveness and makes it comparably weaker. So as tretinoin needs no conversion, it’s way stronger which can be tough in the beginning if ur skin isn’t used to the amount/strength. But if ur already a regular retinol user, it shouldn’t be that much of a problem. You should do it once per week initially and then gradually increase frequency of use. It’s insanely effective and is the most effective anti-aging tool apart from maybe botox. Just keep in mind: Never mix 2 retinol products, it’s either Tretinoin or Retinol. And always wear sunscreen, ideally spf 50
Cleanser --> Toner --> Moisturiser
Works every time
What does toner do for you? Never used it
Genetics, skincare routine discipline, and diet. The latter 2 you have control and direction over. The former, not so much. If you're upset with your genetics , go to a dermatologist than getting angry on the internet
Facial cleanser every day (morning and night when I get back from work). Vitman C serum (I found it worked better for dark eyes than the more expensive eye creams) and sunscreen (50+ SPF) every day. Retinol most nights, liquid exfoliant once or twice a week.

That’s a solid men’s skincare routine — well-balanced with actives and hydration. The mix of retinol, niacinamide, and peptides covers all bases for repair and anti-aging. Consistency and hydration definitely make a big difference! Adding a gentle exfoliator once in a while can also help keep the skin smooth and clear.
