FAQ

Find answers to all your questions about your specific needs and L’Oréal Paris products

What is the difference between men and women skin?

The characteristics of male skin are conditioned by the production of a hormone: testosterone. Men's skin is about 20-25% thicker than women's and has a tougher texture. It contains more collagen, which makes the skin look firmer, tighter, and more resistant to aging. Men's skin produces 2X more sebum than women's skin. Therefore, men are more prone to acne and less prone to dry skin. Moreover, daily shaving causes irritations, cuts, and razor burn. Beyond all these differences, men's and women's skin face the same problems: sensitivity, aging, exposure to stress, UV and other external aggressors.

Why using men products for men skin?

No, men's skin care is not a marketing invention! Male skin is different from women's (see previous question). Thicker, it needs heavy-hitting products that can penetrate the skin to do their job. Richer in collagen and protected by hair, it ages more slowly than women's skin, but daily shaving can irritate it and the hair follicles can become infected in the event of ingrown hairs. It is therefore essential to pamper the skin with quality shaving products. Finally, those who prefer to grow a beard will appreciate, as much as those who like to kiss them, oils which make the hair silky, comfortable and perfumed...

What are L’Oréal Men Expert values?

Men Expert has made men's health and well-being its main concern. The brand has partnered with the Movember Foundation, the only NGO dedicated to men's health operating on a global scale. In addition to supporting extensive awareness and prevention campaigns, Men Expert helps fund medical research programs dedicated to men.

How can I keep my skin healthy?

Just as female skin, male skin needs a tailored skin care routine to look and feel healthy. Moisturizers, anti-ageing skincare, sunscreens should be used daily as well as quality shaving and hygiene products. The Skin Genius digital tool can help you to find the skin routine that matches your specific needs.

Are L’Oréal Paris Men Expert Products safe?

100% of our formulas pass through a rigorous safety process before going to market. Our scientific teams, including dermatologists, toxicologists, pharmacists, chemists, and doctors make early prediction of any potential undesirable effects of raw materials and formulation. Once sold on the market, our products are still monitored. As an example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have studied potential impacts that mask wearing could have on the tolerability of our skin care products.

Are L’Oréal Paris Men Expert products tested on animals?

Since 1989, L’Oréal no longer tests any of its products or any of its ingredient on animals, anywhere in the world. Nor does L’Oréal delegate this task to others. L'Oréal was the first brand, more than 40 years ago, to develop a synthetic human skin that allows the evaluation of different ingredients and products. This innovative technology has been made available to governments, organizations, and other companies to eliminate the need for animal testing. Other techniques, such as imaging, molecular modeling, artificial intelligence, and toxicology expert systems are used to evaluate the performance of our formulas.

What’s the difference between a moisturizer and a serum?

Serums are lightweight formulations based on targeted active ingredients that penetrate deeply into the skin while moisturizers are thicker formula that remains on skin’s surface to create a physical barrier that lock in moisture. Both can be enriched in specific active ingredients to tackle one or several concerns (anti-aging, acne, dark spots…). It is recommended to use both every day, applying the serum first and then the moisturizer.

What are the basic skincare rules to follow?

Nothing too complicated!
1. Gently cleanse your skin, in the morning and right before bed, with a cleanser and warm water.
2. If you shave, pick quality shaving products and shave in the direction of your hair growth.
3. Moisturize twice a day to restore the natural protective barrier of your skin.
4. Apply sunscreen once in the morning (and of course, every two hours if you expose yourself or practice sports in the sun).

How to identify the best routine for my skin type?

Our Skin Genius digital tool has been specifically designed for this. Using artificial intelligence and a database of clinically graded images of people across different ages, races/ethnicities, and skin tones, it precisely defines the specific needs of your skin and recommends a suitable routine. A simple selfie and it’s done!

How long does it take to see results on my skin?

Formulated with high-performance active ingredients, Men Expert products have immediate visible results on hydration and comfort. The anti-aging effect can be observed after a few weeks of use.
