Do Men Really Need Different Skincare Products? A Dermatologist Explains

Do men really need different skincare products, or is “strong enough for men” mostly marketing?

In this video, board certified dermatologist Dr. Dray breaks down the real science behind men’s skin. You will learn how men’s skin differs biologically from women’s skin, what those differences actually mean for skincare, and why most gendered skincare marketing does not line up with dermatologic evidence.

Dr. Dray explains how hormones like testosterone affect skin thickness, oil production, and collagen, why men tend to have more hormonally stable skin over time, and how shaving and hair bearing skin create the biggest practical skincare differences for men.

This video also covers why men do not actually need stronger skincare products, how product vehicle matters more than gender labels, and how to build a simple dermatologist approved skincare routine that actually works.

This is an evidence based discussion focused on skin type, tolerance, and real world use, not marketing claims.
