The Best Men’s Moisturizers of 2025
Tested. Ranked. Approved by the Henkey’s Editors.
The difference between good skin and great skin usually comes down to one thing: consistency. And consistency starts with hydration which is more than just a splash of cold water before a meeting. Moisturizer = Hydration.
We tested every moisturizer in the Henkey’s lineup the way we’d test a new routine: daily use, honest notes, no shortcuts. We judged texture, absorption, key actives, and whether our faces looked like we’d actually slept. Some formulas specialize in barrier repair, others in oil control or environmental defense, but all cleared The Henkey’s Standard: confidence in quality, performance, and zero fluff.
Expert Insight: “A moisturizer isn’t just a finishing step, it’s your skin’s insurance policy,” says in-house esthetician Alex Bruzzese. “We looked at hydration longevity, ingredient integrity, and how well each formula supports the skin barrier day after day.”
The result: seven standouts that hydrate, protect, and help you look like you have your life together (even on days you don’t).

Best All-Around
Blu Atlas | Hydrating Face Moisturizer
A balanced formula that nails hydration, nourishment, and brightening in one go. Seaweed extract and vitamin C energize dull skin while mango seed butter locks in moisture without heaviness.
Expert Insight: “This performs across seasons and skin types. Emollients strengthen the barrier while antioxidants quietly support long-term repair.”
Editor’s Note: The one bottle that plays nice with almost every routine.

Best for Dry Skin
Jackfir | The Classic Daily Facial Moisturizer
Dry skin relief that doesn’t feel greasy. Squalane, moringa seed oil, and snow-mushroom polysaccharides pull moisture deep into the skin while fortifying against cold air and office heat alike.
Expert Insight: “Hydration with structure. Botanical oils mimic the skin’s own lipids to restore elasticity instead of sitting on top.”
Editor’s Note: Softens rough patches fast; steady, all-day comfort.

Best for Acne-Prone Skin
PrettyBoy | Revival Moisturizer V2
Feather-light moisture centered on niacinamide and four types of hyaluronic acid. Brightens, calms, and keeps oil in check without clogging pores — ideal for breakout-prone skin.
Expert Insight: “Niacinamide regulates sebum and redness while multi-weight hyaluronic acids maintain hydration balance.”
Editor’s Note: Clear skin without compromise. This moisturizer proves moisture and acne control can coexist.

Best for Oily Skin
Heath | Oil Control Moisturizer
Lightweight and mattifying with lemon myrtle extract and salicylic acid to reduce shine and help prevent breakouts. Tapioca starch absorbs excess oil while skin stays hydrated underneath.
Expert Insight: “This one is engineered for balance. Hydration alongside gentle micro-exfoliation to keep pores clear.”
Editor’s Note: Passes the mid-day mirror test. No blotting paper required.

Best Night Moisturizer
Comune | Revitalize Overnight Mask
Rich, adaptogenic recovery powered by reishi mushroom, astragalus root, and squalane. Rebuilds the skin barrier overnight and boosts radiance by morning.
Expert Insight: “Mushrooms and peptides improve resilience while emollients seal in moisture for consistent barrier support.”
Editor’s Note: Called a "mask" it's just a rich moisturizer that does the heavy lifting while you're asleep.

Best With SPF
Cardon | Daily SPF + Moisturizer
Daily defense done right. Cactus extract and niacinamide soothe and hydrate while broad-spectrum SPF 30 shields against UV damage. No chalky cast, no mid-day shine.
Expert Insight: “SPF should never feel like work. Hydration and protection in one step encourages daily use.”
Editor’s Note: The easiest habit upgrade of the year.
