Aging male skin: the best anti-aging skincare products for men

Sure, you’re a modern man: you work out and you look after your health. And those good habits go a long way towards healthy-looking skin. But do you have an equally high-performance skincare routine to maintain that youthful complexion? While you may already be stealing your partner’s anti-aging products, perhaps it’s time for some of your own. Read on to discover more about the aging process of men’s skin and what men’s anti-aging skincare products you could be using to fight those face wrinkles and other signs of age.

Why should men use men’s products?

Due to higher levels of testosterone, men’s skin is oilier than women’s. They also have larger pores, and thicker skin, which first seems like nothing but good news when it comes to firmness and the fight against wrinkles. However, the collagen content of male skin starts to decrease earlier than for women, which can mean the start of wrinkles and sagging skin as early as 25 years old. And that capacity to secrete sebum can mean pores are blocked more easily, which means blemishes and acne.

Because of these different needs, men should give their skin a fighting chance at good health by using skincare products specially formulated for them. Men’s anti-aging products – like men’s serum – that have a higher level of active ingredients that can penetrate their thicker skin, that can treat skin sensitized by shaving – essentially, products that tackle the specific needs of male skin.

What are the signs of aging for men’s skin?

The aging signs for male skin are similar to those for women’s – sagging, visible pores, wrinkles and fine lines – to name a few. Like women, men can do a lot to prevent and reduce the signs of aging by using a face-serum for men, as well as other men’s anti-aging products. And it goes without saying that the earlier you start with a targeted anti-aging routine, the better chance your skin has of delaying the appearance of age. Men who start their anti-aging skincare routine at around age 25 have an excellent chance of protecting their skin and delaying the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin and visible pores.

What are the best ingredients in anti-aging skincare for men?

While men’s skincare often uses similar anti-aging ingredients to women’s, they are used in different strengths and formulations to reflect men’s different needs. One of the most effective anti-aging ingredients around is Pro-Retinol. Pro-Retinol in a cleanser or a retinol anti-aging serum can improve texture, tone, fine lines and the appearance of deep wrinkles or dark spots.

Restructuring Pro-xylane™ stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), molecules that hold moisture and support skin’s collagen network. This is good news for maintaining elasticity and firmness as men’s collagen production decreases. It also softens the appearance of face wrinkles – another plus for men whose skin ages in a more visible way than women’s, especially on the forehead and around the eye contour.

Collagen peptide fractions let the skin know that it should produce more collagen, helping contribute to firmer, more youthful-looking skin. They also improve skin’s texture and reinforce the skin barrier – making them ideal for inclusion in a men’s anti-aging serum too.

Why is Force Supreme Blue Serum [LP-XR] well-suited to men searching for anti-aging benefits?

All three of these anti-aging skincare champions – Pro-Retinol, Pro-Xylane and Collagen peptide fractions – have come together in the newly reformulated Force Supreme Blue Serum [LP-XR]. A clue to the missing ingredient of this super potent men’s serum is in the name: the LP stands for Life Plankton^TM. Biotherm’s bio-scientists have discovered that regenerating Life Plankton^TM, Biotherm’s nature-based ingredient, actually increases the potency of these anti-aging champions several times over. The result is a rejuvenating serum with unprecedented effectiveness against the aging of male skin.

Lightweight, fast-absorbing, and non-sticky on the skin, this latest formulation of Force Supreme Blue Serum has high approval rates of over 90% from men across all 10 signs of aging: firmness, elasticity, tightness, contour definition, wrinkles, fine lines, tone, skin strength, complexion and refined texture. But there’s no need to take their word for it, as it has proven clinical efficacy too. With an increase of 20% in firmness, 22% in elasticity and 20% in defined contours it’s a real anti-age winner for men, as they see their collagen production decline earlier than women. It also acts against face wrinkles, with a decrease in the appearance of wrinkles of 22% and of fine lines of 35%.

Your advanced men’s anti-aging skincare routine:

• Step 1.

  Force Supreme Instant Smoothing and Exfoliating Cleanser
  Any men’s anti-aging routine should start with a cleanser formulated for male skin. This twice-daily cleanser is made with exfoliating micro-particles and Blue Algae, to instantly smooth skin’s surface, and cedar bud extract to deeply yet gently cleanse.

• Step 2.

  Force Supreme Life Peel Essence
  An advanced water facial essence, with multiple benefits driven by the healing power of 5% Life Plankton™. Why use an essence when you’ve just cleansed your face? Because it gently and deeply removes any residue, as well as smoothing and softening skin, reducing visible pores, and preparing your skin for a potent men’s anti-wrinkle serum.
  Apply the facial essence morning and evening onto cleansed skin, alone or before your cream.

• Step 3.

  Force Supreme Blue Serum [LP-XR]
  This anti-wrinkle serum for men's skin works to visibly reduce face wrinkles over a month. A retinol anti-aging serum, it also contains Pro-xylane and collagen peptides to repair visible signs of aging including wrinkles, fine lines, and lack of firmness. When should you use it? Twice a day, after your cleanser or essence, and before your moisturizer or sunblock.

So, while eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise are excellent habits to adopt in the fight against men’s aging skin, they alone won’t do the job. A targeted men’s anti-aging routine, with men’s skincare products like a powerful rejuvenating serum, is the final pillar of an approach to maintaining a youthful appearance well into middle age.
