Men’s Health Named MARLOWE. the Best Overall Skincare Brand for Men

Men’s Health named MARLOWE. the Best Overall Skincare Brand for Men in The 10 Best Skincare Brands for Men in 2026, According to a Grooming Editor, written by Sean Zucker and published August 7, 2026.

What Men’s Health said

Zucker tests skincare for a living, and for this piece he and his fellow Men’s Health editors ranked the ten brands they trust most. MARLOWE. took the top spot. His reasoning: the brand never overthinks skincare. The products are simple and effective, the creams are smooth and long-lasting without feeling heavy, and the soaps clean deeply with a strong lather. He also called out the natural ingredients, the absence of parabens and phthalates, and the recycled packaging, including soap wrappers made from 100 percent recycled material.

Two products got a specific mention. The No. 102 Scrub Soap Bars, for their moisturizing formula built on green tea, shea butter and olive oil, their scents, and lathers that make a scrub bar last for weeks. And the No. 128 Daily Face Lotion SPF 50, which he said he would choose if he had to wear one facial moisturizer for the rest of his life: in his words, one of the most nourishing and non-irritating moisturizers he has used, “SPF or not.”

Why it matters

Most men don’t want to become skincare experts. They want something that works, doesn’t take ten minutes, and doesn’t require a chemistry degree to read the label. That is the whole idea behind MARLOWE.: hardworking formulas, a no-nonsense routine, and a number on every product so you know what order to use it in. Read more on our About page.

Where to start

Men’s Health picked our face products individually; the Daily Face Essentials Skincare Set packages them together: a cleanser, the Daily Face Lotion SPF 50 and the No. 127 Eye Cream. If you’d rather build your own, the men’s skincare routine guide shows what goes where.
