How PrettyBoy Is Built for Men: 3 Reasons to Ditch Generic Skincare Products

How PrettyBoy Is Built for Men: 3 Reasons to Ditch Generic Skincare Products

If you’ve taken a stroll down your local skincare aisle over the past few years, you’ve probably notice a bunch of new products specifically targeted toward dudes. (We wanted to name names, but our lawyer advised us against that).

The men’s skincare industry is worth a whopping $13 billion. But the best-selling “male” skincare brands aren’t the best-performing—far from it.

The truth is that these corporate conglomerates don’t give a sh*t what guys want or need. The only thing that gets them out of bed in the morning is maximizing profits for investors and executives. The easiest way to do that is by telling guys they need a whole countertop full of products, slap on some “bro” branding, and force it onto your Instagram feed.

But guys have unique skin and unique needs. That’s why we launched PrettyBoy and built skincare products based on survey data from men on what they actually wanted.

Looking for a reason to make the switch? We’ve got three.

1. We Consolidate Your Whole Skincare Routine Into One Bottle

We don’t have time for a 10-step skincare routine every day, and we’ll take a wild guess you don’t either. That’s why we chose multi-functional ingredients to consolidate the amount of stuff you need in your bathroom and save cash in the process.

Revival, our men’s face moisturizer, combines the benefits of four products into one simple formula:

  1. Moisturizer
  2. Aftershave
  3. Eye stick
  4. Wrinkle cream

Buying all that stuff separately can cost up to $200 or more. But for the price of a few drinks, Revival unlocks a smooth, fresh-feelin’ complexion.

2. Guys Have Greasier Faces, So We Made a Lightweight Moisturizer

Face feeling greasier than the bottom of a bag of fries? Blame Mother Nature. Men are scientifically proven to have oiler skin than women. The last thing you need is a thick, oil-based moisturizer that turns your moneymaker into a slip n slide. But you also can’t skip moisturizing altogether, otherwise your skin compensates by churning out even more oil.

We solved that paradox with Revival: a lightweight, gel-based, oil-free moisturizer. This stuff blends in fast AF (we’re talking a few seconds) so you’re not walking around with any sus residue all over your face.

3. Every Ingredient Targets a Male Skin Concern

Instead of making a random formula and convincing guys to buy it, we figured out what guys’ top skin concerns were and working with dermatologists to develop solutions specifically tailored to them.

Let’s break down some of the most common skin issues dudes deal with and how PrettyBoy handles them.
