Best Men's Products at Sephora
It’s Raining Men’s Products at Sephora — and These Get the Best Marks From Shoppers
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
While we're definitely not here to say that only one gender can use certain beauty products — and we're certainly not here for the pink tax — we decided to take a peek into which items were earning top marks from male shoppers and which things found when searching the section marked "men" got the most stars. (Spoiler: several of these reviewers came out and said they were women before explaining why they love the product, so it's not just us.)
There are products for shaving (that could help with waxing side effects, too) along with multitasking options that combine two — or three! — separate things into one, helping anyone who wants to reduce the total number of bottles, jars, and tubes stocked in a bathroom.
Check out the top-rated products we located in the men's category at Sephora from skin care to hair care below.
Jack Black Industrial Strength Hand Healer
For anyone who works with their hands, from carpenters to doctors, this Jack Black Industrial Strength Hand Healer ($15-$46) takes excellent care of palms and fingers in need of some extra moisture. The conditioning lotion doesn't dry with a noticeable residue . . . but that doesn't mean the active ingredients like eucalyptus and vitamin E aren't working hard to soothe chapped skin and tough calluses all the while.
The Art of Shaving The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave
The Art of Shaving The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave - Sandalwood ($95) is a top-rated set that includes four items to help get the closest shave. There's the softening preshave oil, protective shaving cream, refreshing aftershave balm, and a shaving brush, too. And, for those frequent flyers, there's also an equally popular set in TSA-approved sizes with The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave Carry-On - Sandalwood ($60) that's ready to hit the road.
Ralph Lauren Polo Black Deodorant
For deodorant that's definitely not ordinary, there's this top-rated Ralph Lauren Polo Black Deodorant ($23). It offers a similar scent to the cologne of the same name with a blend of patchouli noir, mango, and woodsy armoise.
The Art of Shaving Beard Wash - Peppermint Essential Oil
Both The Art of Shaving Beard Wash ($15) and Beard Conditioner ($15) feature invigorating peppermint essential oil to cool and soothe skin with a minty scent. The wash lathers up to remove dirt and oil from a beard, and many reviewers also note how soft it makes hair afterwards. The conditioner also softens, plus adds shine and hydration as well.
Anthony Shave Cream
Whether it's being used on facial hair or on other parts of the body, this Anthony Shave Cream ($20) gets top reviews at Sephora. The dense cream softens hair for an extra-close shave with hops to relax the skin and natural antiseptics of eucalyptus and rosemary to cool any redness, too.
Shaveworks The Cool Fix
Also popular at Sephora is this Shaveworks The Cool Fix gel ($12-$26). The soothing aftershave targets the ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and razor burn that can appear after shaving (or waxing, too). Its boerhavia root extract soothes redness, and there are familiar exfoliating acids from skincare routines— like glycolic and salicylic — inside as well.
Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25
There are nearly 3,000 reviews and 70,000 loves for this Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 ($8). Coming in five varieties (like black tea and blackberry or grapefruit and ginger), the hydrating lip treatments help heal chapped lips with shea butter and avocado oil. Plus, each additionally packs vitamins and antioxidants to protect against damage by free radicals.
Kiehl’s Since 1851 "Ultimate Man" Body Scrub Soap
The oat bran, oat kernel, and pumice in this top-rated Kiehl's Since 1851 "Ultimate Man" Body Scrub Soap ($15) easily exfoliates dead skin cells off the surface to throughly cleanse skin. As a bonus, using it can also reduce roughness and calluses on elbows and heels to leave skin softer and smoother at the same time it gets clean.
Bumble and Bumble Seaweed Shampoo
The Bumble and Bumble Seaweed Shampoo ($25-$60) comes in a regular size or a jumbo one that can serve a whole household. It's a mild-yet-moisturizing cleanser that features marine extracts like seaweed, spirulina, and kelp to nourish hair down to the roots.
Anthony Invigorating Rush Hair + Body Wash
This Anthony Invigorating Rush Hair + Body Wash ($56) gets skin and hair clean but adds in panthenol and wheat protein to moisturize, too. There's also a woodsy scent because of other working ingredients (that don't just smell nice): Canadian balsam to reduce inflammation and anti-inflammatory eucalyptus for cooling.
Jack Black All-Over Wash For Face, Hair and Body
For anyone who can't be bothered with separate products to clean hair, face, and body, well, this Jack Black All-Over Wash For Face, Hair and Body ($21-$50) takes care of all three . . . and is popular with other Sephora shoppers. It gets rid of sweat, dirt, and oil without stripping skin or drying out hair so it can truly be a one-stop shop for the shower.
Jack Black Nourishing Hair and Scalp Conditioner
The Jack Black Nourishing Hair and Scalp Conditioner ($22) is a top-rated product that reduces itchiness, dryness, and flakiness on the scalp (thanks to tea tree oil). The conditioner also works to soften and detangle hair with panthenol to add shine and biotin to limit frizz at the same time — and makes a great follow-up for an all-in-one shampoo and body wash.
Tom Ford Fucking Fabulous All Over Body Spray
We're not sure if the Tom Ford Fucking Fabulous All Over Body Spray ($92) is popular (in part) due to the sassy name, but surely the fragrance — which combines sage, almond, vanilla, lavender, and amber — can't hurt either. Sephora reviewers note that this spray's scent is less intense (in a good way) than the eau de parfum . . . but it's got the same rich leather at the heart of it, so whoever's wearing it still smells f*cking fabulous.
Bumble and Bumble Bb. Sumoclay
The top-rated Bumble and Bumble Bb. sumoclay ($29) creates texture in both short and long looks. It's very moldable so hair can be reshaped as needed, and styles finish matte with lasting hold, too.
Bumble and Bumble Tonic Lotion
Inspired by the elixirs of old-school barbers, the top-rated Bumble and Bumble Tonic Lotion ($26) features tea tree oil to soothe scalps and detangle hair. It also primes hair for other products like lotions, gels, and clays, adding manageability to styles that follow.
Kiehl’s Since 1851 Age Defender Dual-Action Exfoliating Cleanser
The top-rated Kiehl's Since 1851 Age Defender Dual-Action Exfoliating Cleanser ($28) can be used as a cleanser or a mask. Its Moroccan lava clay removes surface dirt and exfoliates when used as a face wash but, when left on for five minutes or so, dead skin cells will be broken down and skin is left smoother after it's rinsed off.
Peter Thomas Roth FIRMx Peeling Gel
Another popular option with Sephora shoppers is this Peter Thomas Roth FIRMx Peeling Gel ($48-$89). It uses fruit enzymes of pineapple and pomegranate to exfoliate, unclog pores, and deeply clean dirt and other impurities. There's also hyaluronic acid and glycerin to hydrate skin at the same time.
Anthony Astringent Toner Pads
Just a sweep of one of these Anthony Astringent Toner Pads ($28) can work to refine pores as a combination of alcohol and witch hazel take action. The formula clarifies and purifies skin with aloe and citrus-mint essential oils to calm it, too.
Clinique For Men Broad Spectrum SPF 21 Moisturizer
While it's important for everyone to wear sunscreen every day, adding SPF into a moisturizer makes it quicker to do so with just one step . . . especially for people who like to use a minimal number of total products. The Clinique For Men Broad Spectrum SPF 21 Moisturizer ($30) hydrates while also protecting against UV rays, and Sephora reviewers are all about it.
Jack Black Oil-Free Sun Guard Sunscreen Water Resistant SPF 45
For sun protection on an entire body, this Jack Black Oil-Free Sun Guard Sunscreen Water Resistant SPF 45 ($21) is well-regarded by other Sephora shoppers who rave about how water- and sweat-resistant it is. The lightweight lotion packs UVA and UVB absorbers like zinc oxide alongside soothing calendula flower, and reviewers also note that it's nongreasy with no white cast on skin either.
Clinique For Men Anti-Age Eye Cream
It's safe to say that no one really wants bags or dark circles under their eyes, right? Well, this Clinique For Men Anti-Age Eye Cream ($33) tackles problem puffiness and fine lines with shea butter and green tea and leaves the delicate under-eye skin brighter and more hydrated.
Versace Eros
One of the top-rated colognes at Sephora is this Versace Eros ($30-$118), named for the Greek god of love (later called Cupid by the Romans). Its vibrant scent includes mint, lemon zest, and mossy notes, and the fragrance comes in 10 ml all the way up to 200 ml sizes for just trying it out . . . or if you already love-love it.
