To improve patient care and outcomes, leading dermatologists offered their recommendations on the top men’s cosmetics. Consideration must be given to:
• FaceTime for Men
Skin Is In
"Because men typically use whatever skin care products are lying around and tend not to think about their skin unless there is a problem, more damage occurs to their skin. Skin Is In’s FaceTime for Men kit is specifically formulated for men. The products are made in the United States from the highest-quality ingredients available on the market and are free of fragrances, dyes, parabens, petrochemicals, and comedogenic and allergy-causing irritants.”—Tina S. Alster, MD, Washington, DC
