20 Best Facial Scrub For Men (2023 Updated)

I have used a few scrubs. This is one of the better ones. I scrub and then let it sit for a few moments to feel it working.

This scrub is an excellent product a foundational item for mens skin care programs and a cornerstone of Cliniques lineup. Clinique established a long time ago that exfoliation was at the heart of its programs to basic skin health.

Does anyone else remember the cellophane tape test at store counters The worldfamous 3Step includes a liquid exfoliating lotion clarifying for women and scruffing for men and all skin concerns are addressed after skin is properly cleansed, exfoliated toned, and moisturized.

After that, issues related to shaving, wrinkles, firmness, dark spots, and more can be addressed now that the world of Clinique has smartly expanded to include a full roster of efficient and targeted performers.

Face Scrub is ideal for men. Of the various scrubbing products that Clinique offers it can say its the most course it has the roughest scrubbing particles. This is extremely helpful for men, as most men have skin that is stronger than womens and also most men shave their face.

The extra grit that the product provides does an excellent job of removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores. That results in smoother, healthier, less blemished if thats your concern and youngerlooking skin.

Whats more, it perks up whiskers and frees them of any muck that accumulates on a mans face. For me, this makes shaving a breeze. And for a guy who shaves his head too, using the product as a head scrub leads to smoother sailing all around the scalp.

Use Face Scrub as often as you need, being mindful that it is removing those dead cells. Its basic and useful enough to include it with among the most basic items in your daily kit. Dont try other scrubs.

Buy this one and be done.

The mens face scrub has been my ABSOLUTE favorite Clinique product that I’ve used RELIGIOUSLY for many, many years. It’s the only cleanser/scrub that keeps my skin clear from minor, hormonal acne breakouts AND leaves my skin feeing SO soft, fresh, and tingly.

The scrub particles have always been VERY FINE and DENSELY PACKED. I prefer it to the “non-mens” scrub (though I’ve heard they’re the same) and find it superior to the 7 Day Scrub. Even though it’s a “mens” product, it’s always been gentle enough for my skin.

It contained some salicylic acid for acne but not as much as products specifically for acne. Plus just the right amount of menthol makes my skin feel fresh & tingly. **UNFORTUNATELY, after unpacking and using this scrub from my recent order.

I was SO disappointed & upset to find that my fav product has been reformulated SO drastically that it’s now UNUSABLE. Honestly, I don’t know how it could be usable to any face-even men’s- not just mine.

Those very fine, densely packed scrub particles have been replaced by what feels like gravel. That fresh, tingly feeling is completely gone. And the icing on the cake: after ONE use of this new formulation.

I had little tiny red dots all over my face (like petechiae) because it was SO ROUGH. Also unfortunate is how difficult it is to reach a human at Clinique to process a refund or exchange. Emails go unanswered indefinitely, and the “open” hours for customer service are not compatible with my schedule.

Bottom line: do NOT use this new formula face scrub.

I am sad to say that this is the first Kiehl’s product to let me down. The idea behind the wash is great, but it is most certainly lacking the results a person with an oily face might expect. The first time I tried the face wash — during my morning shower — my face was immediately oily as though I had just come inside on a hot day.

I thought this was potentially an effect of the product working, but it only worsened throughout the day at work. I gave it a few more tries, that night and subsequent days, but my forehead remained more oily than before.

In addition, the texture of the gel is almost glue-like. It was terribly sticky and took quite a while to massage into the skin, and just as long to wash off. This is the first product to which I have given a negative review, and will be returning the wash to the Kiehl’s store soon.

For those with an oily face, consider a sample before purchasing or avoid altogether. I am going back to the superior Origins Zero Oil face wash.

Excellent face wash. Gently scrubs the oil and dirt away without over drying. Smells nice. Only knock is that it’s a little hard to rinse off. Otherwise, I love it. Been using it for years.

I originally bought this for my husband. After hearing how much he liked it I decided I needed to try it for myself. I’m so glad I did! One, it smells AMAZING. Two, I love the slight tingle. Three, the ingredient that makes it a scrub is fine which allows for a really deep all over clean.

I have relatively oily skin that is prone to breakouts. This does not dry my face out but does leave it perfecly cleansed and exfoliated. 10 out of 10 for me!!.

A face scrub has been part of my cleansing routine for years, and this counts as one of my two favourites. Yes, it is grainy and some will find mildly abrasive. Personally, I love it. It works. You can always moderate the scrub sensation by the amount of product you soon and by how lightly or heavily you scrub with your hands.

For me, this is nothing but a treat. I love the fresh, clean and cooling sensation afterwards.

First, I am not male. I like to exfoliate my face twice a week. I found an exfoliator I love from a popular brand available on Sephora and on their own swanky women’s web site. The problem is the price.

I just don’t think everything has to cost so much money to be effective. My husband has used this brand for years. He doesn’t use the exfoliator. I ordered it and I think it’s really effective. It is definitely a rough sort of scrub, not for those looking for a gentle scrub.

But I use it and apply gently and my skin is so soft. It smells faintly of mint and is refreshing. It is white and my face feels clean after I use it. My pores look better as well.

Before I start my review, I’ve decided to copy and past how Kiehl’s typically responds to poor reviews with a response per sentence, so they don’t have to respond to mine. I’ll save you time so maybe you can utilize that extra time to so corporate can contemplate how to make their product how it used to be, without the plastic beads.

“Hi there! We are so sorry to hear that the Facial Fuel Energizing Scrub did not leave you with the results in which you were expecting. ” We were expecting ONLY the little plastic beads to change to something more environmental friendly due to the new mandates.

Not to change the whole product so Kiehl’s makes more profit over quality. Back to their comment, “We understand how frustrating that can be and appreciate you sharing some personal feedback with us”; if you truly cared about your dedicated consumers who been purchasing your products for decades, the company would’ve already changed the product back to how it actually worked from the current scrub on the shelves.

“as we will be sharing this with the rest of our team. We hope you continue to try our products in the future!” This comment just shows they don’t care about their dedicated consumers. If these comments over the past four years have been shared and the product hadn’t changed.

It’s that simple. I will continue to purchase the energizer moisturizer until they decide to change that as well. By the way, don’t purchase the energizer with SPF, it’s very greasy and feels nothing like the original energizer moisturizer cream.

My spouse continues to use it, but I can not. Again, as many other consumers have complained, I am one more. My face felt revived and awaken after using this scrub and it truly exfoliated with my pores appearing smaller.

I exfoliated with this product after each shave (about three times a week). Now, when I use this product, there’s no difference. I would be better off using something found at the local drugstore. The reason why It’s taking me this long to write a review about this product is because when it was announced they were changing their scrub, I went around and purchased what was on the shelves whenever I traveled at airports and other cities throughout the country.

This is a top notch product that I always want to have on hand. It’s not so tough that I can’t use it back to back days, but it also does a phenomenal job of getting rid of dead skin that flakes off through my beard.

The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is that the formula seems to change fairly often. A size of the large tube can last me a year and when I go to re-order it again there’s always something that’s just a little different the last couple years.

It has more of a sand quality now which is so heavy it doesn’t actually go down the drain. It’s minor because the results are still great but I think something to be aware of if you’re considering this product.

Kiehl’s is one of if not the best facial scrub I have used. The granularity (if that’s a word) is even and abundant. My face afterwards demonstrates how effective the scrub is. The grit and grime, etc.

, is effectively removed. My skin feels clean, refreshed, invigorated. I know this sounds like a commercial. Love the product. I have been a Kiehl’s customer for over fifty years. That’s the truth and my endorsement is my attendance over the years.

I just got into using charcoal related face wash and body products lately and I decided to grab the Everymanjack one when I was getting more the other day because I like the brand. Compared to others, the texture is smooth and slightly liquidy but not too drippy or messy.

The scent is the only downside to it, but honestly I justify it given the commitment to natural products and the organic nature. After using it a couple times you notice the effect on your face. It clears it up entirely without feeling any stinging or anything.

Was honestly impressed. Make sure you’re drinking enough water and washing after the gym and in the morning and youll see a huge difference. Pretty happy with the purchase.

This is great for anyone with combination skin or anyone whose skin responds well to salicylic acid. Biggest downside to this is the tube dispenses way too much at a time. A little can go a long way with this stuff and compared to a very similar product in a different type of container like the Yes To Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Facial Cleanser, it doesn’t end up lasting as long.

I’ve noticed this with pretty much all EMJ products. Their packaging tends to dispense way too much product per use comparitively.

I am a female with sensitive skin, and I purchase this product for my husband. Surprise! I have use it more than him and can’t stop buying it. The product comes out of the bottle fast with it’s loose consistency but a lot goes such a long way.

It is very gentle on the skin and suds up very nicely. The best thing about the face wash is washing it off your face. Oh my word your face feel so clean and smooth. No residue, dryness or itchy feel.

Men, my husband loves this produce too. It has truly helped with reducing the ingrown hairs in his beard and leaves it feeling so soft.

This re-formulated version of Razor Defense soap is awful. As noted in some other recent reviews, the product now has a prominent and unpleasant scent. More important, the soap is now much, much thicker.

It feels as though you are washing with thick goopy sunblock, with a small quantity of scrub particles mixed in. Even though I used the smallest possible amount, trying to rinse this off is a major project and once you think you’ve got it rinsed off it still feels like you have a layer of oily sunblock on your face.

This is a completely different experience compared to the original version of this product. Did they do any consumer testing of this new version? It’s hard to believe they did– this is just terrible in every respect.

If you liked the original version of this product I think it’s highly unlikely you’ll be happy with this new version. No more Razor Defense for me– I’m looking for a new product. I wish I could give this ZERO stars.

My boyfriend used the Neutrogena Men Razor Defense Face Scrub for years, recently, they moved it out of the shelf at all supermarkets and drug stores and introduced a bunch of other facial scrubs that had nothing in common with the original.

I went online and ordered a bunch of the original razor defense scrubs, thinking that I’ll be buying what he had been using for years. But unfortunately, to my total disappointment, my boyfriend noticed that Neutrogena had completely changed the formula and that the scrub has an effeminate if not an androgynous scent, as if it was made for women and not for men.

For many years I have been using Razor Defense Shave Creme + After Shave + Moisturizing Lotion and been completely satisfied. I have sensitive skin, especially on my neck, so Nuetrogena is the only product line that I can comfortably use.

Other brands have irritants like fragrances and dyes, and feel like a high schooler’s product. The Razor Defense suit has a fantastic scent, and is smooth like silk. I recently picked up the Face Scrub, and while I will echo what others have said that I wish it smelled as good as the other products, it is very effective.

Personally I don’t smell any scent, really. But I use it in the shower and it softens my coarse beard hair, exfoliates, and raises the hairs as well. I shave right after getting out and my shave is even closer after adding this face scrub.

My Wife recently managed to convince me to invest in Branded products for skincare and ditch my Ayurvedic product. Reluctantly I agreed. I managed to purchase the trial pack of those teeeny tiny miniatures which one could of received for free as samples from the local retailers and in all honestly was really impressed with the product feel.

This product foams easy. It washes well and even rises with ease. I was super impressed with how easily it foams and cleanses. you are left with a great feeling post wash. Really refreshing.

I bought it last month and tried the product for 2 weeks. The little samples are much more efficient than the big tube of a product. I will not buy again. The delivery was fast, the marketing and packaging is spectacular! The box is so beautiful! the presentation was great! Last year event in Vancouver I received a sample of the scrab for men.

I used it once at it worked so well: the skin was purified and felt smooth after I used it once. The big tube of scrab didn’t work the same way even after a week of usage. All samples of the products are great.

I like the pore corrector cream.

I have used the scrub before with great results, and the active wash with great results. I alternated them and was very happy. I was hoping for similar results with this product but what I got was way too much foam for very little exfoliant.

A grain here and there does not do much. Also this is the first product from the Clarins Mens line that has left my skin feeling dry, ripped from any type of moisture. That’s why I like Clarins compared to other brands, they make my face feel fresh, clean and ready.

This product made me think if its doing more harm than good. I have oily skin, so I can only imagine what it does to normal skin as the product says it’s for normal. I’ll continue with the face wash and look somewere else for the exfoliant.

I have been using Clarins products for 10 years now. and look 10 years younger. Please don’t change things if they are working. So many products have been dissapearing and changed for products that I have found not to be the same, and far from better.

Just my 2 cents.

I used to use this every time I did a clean shave and immediately after my face was amazing for days. I got this weird super dry are of skin where the top of my mask would be that just wouldn’t go away (not eczema), so I tried numerous lotions like aloe, some weird stuff my mom gets, whatever.

Then I was like wait a minute – I’ll try this stuff and just shave clean since that’s what I usually do when I use it. The dry skin on my face literally turned immediately back to normal after. I don’t know what they put in this stuff but sweet lord I might just start using it as body soap.

I’ll pay a thousand dollars for this stuff. Dove I’m telling you now if you discontinue it I’m suing for causing physical and emotional distress. If y’all wanna contact me with the name of the guy who created this I’ll send him a fat bottle of wine or something.

Wowza. I finally switched my face scrub to this and my face feels so soft & clean. It also totally tightened up my pores! There’s a slight fragrance but it’s really good & not super noticeable. I have really sensitive skin and totally recommend this!.

I use this scrub daily in the shower. I was amazed at how easily a little bit lathers up and I was able to cover my whole face and neck with just a little bit. I typically have dry and fairly sensitive skin, but leave the shower with my face feeling completely moisturized and smooth.

There are tiny beads in the scrub, but it doesn’t feel like sandpaper like some other washes and scrubs do, just right. I follow this up with a toner and then the Dove SPF daily moisturizer and have been happy with the results.

This is definitely my favorite of the series though. I’ve tried the Men+Care lotions, soaps, and body washes, but this is the most essential for me.

The product is great, my problem is with the package. The last 3 tubes have all had the exact same issue. The piece on the underside of the cap that plugs the hole in the tube when you close it has broken after 1 or 2 uses, thus creating a mess when you store the tube in the normal manner.

I end up losing approximately 1/3 of the product. At this point I’m ready to look around for something else.

The first time I bought Bulldog shave gel, I bought the unscented, sensitive skin formula and liked it, but then tried a couple of different brands which I didn’t like as well. When I decided to buy Bulldog brand again, I couldn’t find the formula I previously used on Grove’s website.

I figured there couldn’t be THAT much difference between the formulas and bought this one, the original. I’m glad I did because I really like this shave gel even better than the first one I used. It smells great, and my razor easily glides through the gel for a nice, close shave.

I personally prefer gel because I have never experienced irritation or ingrown hairs with it as I have from foam or lotion based shaving products. I highly recommend it.

I bought the product with some of the BullDog shaving blades. It is a nice comfortable shave with the product. My gripe with it is that I read on the back there were no added synthetic fragrances added to the product.

Since I am sensitive to those I decided to give it a try. The fragrance from the product is exceptionally strong, and while it may be a ‘natural’ fragrance like aloe or something, it was just too much for me.

If they made a truly fragrance free version of this product I would likely buy it as otherwise this seems to work well with their blades. Nice comfortable shave.

I am 77 and have used almost every type of shave product on the market, this one far exceeds any of them! It makes for a very smooth shave, is easy to apply ( and you don’t need much ), does not accumulate in the razor, and rinses off without any effort.

In addition, the bamboo handle razor is superior to any other razor I have used to date. I only discovered Bulldog’s products 3 or 4 months ago. one of the most rewarding finds in men’s grooming products I have ever encountered.

Well done!.

The pores on my nose were “Big Daddies” until I started using Every Man Jack’s Face Wash with Activated Charcoal. It is a deep pore cleanser with salicylic acid. This stuff reduced the “Big Daddies” to “Little Babies” in no time.

It is like reverse aging. I almost feel sorry for them. Not really! I love this stuff!.

Purchased this product for my teenage son. We had tried several other products and found this one off recommendation. And he loves it, very simple and easy process for cleaning his skin. The product doesn’t over dry or irritate his skin.

Prior to use he had some blackheads, mild acne, and very oily skin. He has been using it for over 2 months and has cleaner skin. We now have a subscription so that he doesn’t run out. This product is affordable.

What I’ve found is a lot of Targets do not have it in stock.

My husband has been using this for years. He’s tried many different ones but this is by far best he has used. It’s a foaming cleansing scrub that deeply cleans skin to unclog pore. It helps remove his dead skin and trapped facial hair.

He uses it every couple of days and it makes his skin feel smooth and refreshed afterwards.

What a fantastic product. I have tried a few Nivea products but this is definitely a staple. Where to start. The smell, it has the typical Nivea smell which epitomises cleanliness, it just smells clean.

The scrub works very well without being abrasive. Even over fresh sunburn. The celluloid beads are small enough to scrub but not too big to stick to your skin when rinsing. I’ve tested the scrub on myself after a day in sun, with lotion on, then the obvious layer of sweat then grass from strimming and it worked perfectly.

Clear fresh skin in less than 30 seconds, I did shower afterwards though. If you’re new to men’s skin care or face washes then I’d highly recommend this product.

Nivea Men Protect & Care Exfoliating Face Scrub. Having used the Nivea Face Scrub, I feel that my face is more cleaner and i have less black heads and oily skin after using the Nivea Face Scrub. It really helps to clean my pores deeply and its so easy to use , you feel the effects after the first wash or two.

I plan to purchase Nivea Men Exfoliating Face Scrub when my current product is near empty. Overall a great product for men who want to look their best have nice clear , clean and healthy skin. #Nivea #HomeTesterClub I would recommend Nivea Men Protect & Care Exfoliating Face Scrub as it leaves my face looking clean fresh and deeply cleansed and helps with getting rid of black heads and my face looks and feels much better using this product.

I have sensitive skin so I was hesitate to use this face scrub. However it did not disappoint. I definitely felt the exfoliation. Just be careful to not overuse and also have a routine. I’d also suggest making sure to gently rub the product in because it can be rough.

My mother-in-law gave me a sample of the Bulldog face wash and I was hooked. I had to go out and buy it. This stuff is awesome. It smells great and leaves my face super clean and free of oil all day.

It contains witch hazel, willow bark, and juniper and never contains artificial colors, synthetic fragrances, or ingredients from animal sources which is awesome. All of Bulldog’s products are built for men, which I like, and contain natural ingredients.

I definitely recommend this face wash to any man (or woman) who wants a great natural face wash.

Thank you Thank you Thank you, My husband loves this stuff! He is in the trade business so he comes home looking rough somedays. I know his skin is exposed to things we can’t even see so I tried to find him something to make sure he scrubs and gets those out of his pores.

Certain scrubs/cleansers he either didn’t like the smell, they made his skin feel “tight” or he just flat out didn’t like them. I bought this thinking here we go, let’s try another. What do you ya know, it worked.

He loves the smell, the softness of his face after he uses it and all. So it seems to be great for an everyday deep clean!! Thank you, #Biore for putting an end to our search!.

I bought this for my husband. He likes it. It is a simple cleanser from a well known brand (even though I have never seen this specific one for sale in the US) I am training my husband to start a simple skincare routine and there is something reassuring for him to recognize a brand lol Korean skincare is awesome but routine people might find it wild to start using products with a weird writing on them haha.

OK if you work outside this is a must. Actually it’s a must have. It’s very effective in cleansing the skin and removing skin cells. It helps shrink pores. The best part it’s not pricey. I love this product.

I use it every other day or when I am extremely sweaty and dirty.

I Read Many Great reviews about this product while looking for a similar product (also an algae-based facial cleanser), which was dis-continued. Although skeptical at first, especially being well-informed, having my own product line of facial moisturizers & spritz toners, & seeking a Paraben-Free Cleanser, I Must say that I was VERY Satisfied!!! The Only criticism that I would have, having my own line of products, is that it contains SLS, which is a foaming agent.

All in all, I would give this product a 10 Star. GREAT Product, Pleasant Smell, Quality Ingredients, Paraben-Free, & Thoroughly, Yet Gently Cleanses the Skin!!! Bottom Line, EXCELLENT Product!!!!.

This is such a delicious cleanser! It smells wonderfully amazing and seems to really invigorate my skin. It is heavily fragranced and may be irritating to some sensitive skin types. I feel as though this product really cleanse my skin without drying out my skin.

Highly recommend!.

I overall liked using this facial scrub! I think that the scent was subtle and nice and the exfoliant in it were bigger particles so it was a more gentle scrub. The only problem I had was with the packaging and because of the bigger particles in it the top would occasionally get clogged!.

My husband tried this and wasn’t a huge fan. He’s got very sensitive skin and this stuff made his break out completely. So keep that in mind if you’ve got sensitive skin too. Its on the more expensive side but could be worth it if you’ve got a normal skin type.

I’ve tried no 7 products myself and have loved them.

I dont use this- My Husband does. He said he is very pleased, it does “wake you up” and it has improved his skin. He said “it’s made it clearer, firmer, and more ready to take on the day”. It looks glowy, and supple to me, better- just improved.

I would definitely recommend this to other men, I think men far to often ignore their skin.

Light weight, no harsh scent and delivers exactly what it promises! Great for sensitive skin or acne prone areas. Highly recommend and repurchased several times over. I’ve even gifted it to family! This is a must try product!.
