So should men use face serums? Why only serums are limited to women? Essentially not. As a dermatologist today I really want you to understand the difference first between a man and a woman's skin. Fundamentally and Anatomically it's the same. There is no difference in a man or a woman's skin. There are subtle changes that we notice and one is that the skin is more thicker because there's more collagen in a man's skin in comparison to a woman and the second thing is there is 10 times more hormone called testosterone. Now testosterone is the hormone that reduces oil so this hormone causes excess oil secretion which is why in men's skin we do not notice too much of dryness as well as we notice a lot of acne or block pores in men. So these are the two main changes that we see in men's skin other than that everything remains the same. So the next question you ask me is that why are there products for men and women and why are they separate? That is nothing but a marketing gimmick. You notice that men products have a different aesthetics, has a different fragrance, a different style it's just to lure men but dermatologically and medically skin care is gender neutral. A face serum that a woman uses a man can also use. The only thing that men need to understand and realize is to pick up ingredients and serums which actually benefit their skin by understanding their skin type as well as their lifestyle. For example if you know that you're going to go on a bike for long hours it's important that you moisturize your skin, use a thicker moisturizer and use a sunscreen regularly. Second thing you have to remember is that when you use these serums, pick up the ones that are more potent because a men's range is generally more limited. So what you can do is use a face serum at night which is potent you get retinols you get alpha and beta hydroxy acids which work beautifully on thicker and oily skin. At night is when the repair process begins. So when you're using a face serum first thing to remember is wash your face with water dab it dry. Let it be moist and then apply your face serum with a little bit of gentle massage. Do not forget your neck and your ears. Use your serums which are retinol based only at night but the ones which contain antioxidants like Vitamin E, squalane, resveratrol, Vitamin C twice a day. Do not forget your sunscreen and follow a simple but effective skincare routine. So men you can use all the products that women use. Pick up the one that is right for your skin type and your skin concern.
