Anthony Skincare Essentials for Men, but Women Love it Too!

Press Sample (Affiliated Links)

I love discovering unisex products that my husband and I both love to use, but I really love discovering products made for men that I also love using. This is how I feel about the wonderful quality skincare products from Anthony, formerly known as Anthony Logistics for Men, since they offer highly effective products that are a joy to use. 

Anthony's commitment to men's health is far more than skin deep, and as a result of this interest they donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of every product to Prostate Cancer Research. Having lost my father to this dreaded disease, I am grateful that Anthony has taken such a proactive role in helping fund research for a cure.

According to Anthony,

We care about health and put our money where our mouth is. Prostate cancer is a health concern for all men. In fact, 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Anthony and Action donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of all products to support prostate cancer research. In addition to our support of Prostate Cancer Research, a percentage of our proceeds from the Shaveworks brand will be donated to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

1) Glycolic Facial Cleanser: This is a very effective non-foaming cleanser that removes dead skin cells, thoroughly cleanses and exfoliates, and leaves skin remarkably soft and smooth. 


According to Anthony,

This non-foaming, Paraben free Glycolic Facial Cleanser from Anthony skincare contains just right amount of Glycolic Acid to deep clean delicate facial skin without stripping it. It also gently exfoliates preventing and clearing any breakouts. 

This cleanser is the only way to go for a close, clean shave as it helps lift beard hair when used prior to a shaving routine.

Cleansing is the first step to ensure a closer, more comfortable shave. Glycolic Acid is a well-known anti-aging ingredient that brightens and retexturizes skin. It is present in this formula at 4.9%. 

Directions: "Apply a small amount to wet hands. Work into a lather and massage gently over face and neck. Rinse thoroughly. Use AM and PM."

Attributes of Key Ingredients: 
  • Glycolic Acid at 4.9% removes surface impurities. 
  • Calendula, Chamomile and Aloe Vera nourish and soothe. 
  • Vitamins A, C and E nourish and protect.

Overall Assessment: Anthony makes wonderful high quality products that are highly effective as well as very pleasant to use. It may be targeted to men, but many women love using the products as well. It also means a great deal to me that Anthony is so committed to men's health issues that they donate a portion of all sales to Prostate Cancer Research. This is definitely a brand worth your consideration.

  2. It's so nice to see products created for men - it's not like they have magical skin that can't use a single thing!

  3. I love seeing skincare lines for men. My husband is really into the Paula's Choice line.

    1. Me too! That's so cool that he's into Paula's Choice! My husband pretty much uses whatever I put in the shower and the vanity for him, but he really likes the Anthony products a lot.

  4. My boyfriend currently uses a mix of Jack Black and Kiehls. I've been wanting to get him into some of the Anthony products as they are geared a little more towards anti-aging and they are for men, so there's that (it not feeling "girly") and all. Thanks for this overview, Helen!

    1. My pleasure, Kimmy! My husband uses a couple of things from Jack Black, Kiehl's and now Anthony. I highly recommend the Anthony line– as would my husband. I keep dipping into the cleanser and leaving it on as a mask while I shower to let the enzymes chomp away at the dead skin cells, and it works like a charm! It definitely doesn't feel girly or fussy at all, and I suspect that you will dip into his stash if you get this for him!

    2. It's definitely worth trying, and that cleanser is pretty heavenly! :-)

    1. Hi Kristin, I highly recommend it! My husband isn't at all fussy about skincare products, but these are super solid products that do just what they are supposed to do! If you decide to get him any of the products then definitely grab that cleanser! I have been using it as a mask in the shower, and just leaving it on for a few minutes to let all of the enzymes dissolve my edad skin cells, and let me just tell you it is AWESOME!!!!!

  6. Oooh, these sound great- the glycolic cleanser sounds especially great for the guy who won't exfoliate (but really should!) Not that I know anyone like that... :D

    1. It's a really great line, Bailey! I have been dipping into the glycol cleanser myself because it is so effective. I left it in the shower for my husband, and I'm pretty sure that I use it even more than he does! This is definitely worth looking into for him!

  7. I would love my husband to brand out of Neutrogena and Clinique but he's quite hard-headed, ugh!

    1. Try what I do and just start putting new things in the shower for him to try. Sometimes it takes a little coaxing on my part, but it does seems to work!

  8. i do love to support brands that give back. a percentage of every sale is definitely a generous commitment!

    one question, does your husband use wakeup call after shaving? was wondering if the high alcohol content bothered the skin after shaving.

    1. I completely agree with you! It makes me feel really good about the company and their commitment to men's health!

      He has only used it at night, but not because he was avoiding using it after shaving in the AM. He is very inconsistent in his use of moisturizers in the morning, but seems to remember when he is winding down in the evening. I just asked him bout it and he said that he would try it in the morning after shaving– so will report back after he does it!

  9. What an awesome brand, both in products and in their mission. Thanks for introducing me to them!
