Stop Wasting Money on Skincare Products (That Don't Actually Work)

Think of a skincare brand. I’ve probably tried it. From mainstays like Clearasil and Cerave to fancy DTC start ups like Lumin and Tiege Hanley, to department store favorites like Khiels and Jack Black, I’ve tried them all.
And to be honest, I like a lot of these brands. In fact, I’m currently using a Tiger Hanley face wash, Jack Black deodorant and Geologie moisturizer. But I’m not loyal to any one brand, or even any one product. You see, I’ve learned one important lesson over the years, something that helped transform my skin AND changed the way I shop for skincare products.
It’s something most people don’t consider, and it’s definitely something that marketers don’t really want you to think about. That lesson is that, when it comes to finding skincare products that actually make you look better, it’s not about the brand or the product or the supposed benefits.

🧍🏻My Sizes
I'm 5'6" with shoes on and about 125 lbs after dinner. I have a 35" chest; I usually wear XS tops and 28x28 pants (or 28x30 cuffed).
My best suit jacket size is 34 Short, but even 34S needs alterations (mostly shortening of the sleeves and jacket), so my best-fitting suits are custom.

@Ghostridedrio

This is why I watch Brock, unlike any other men's health/ men's style KZbinrs he doesn't shamelessly advertise a product like the others, you see it in his content he actually cares and gives advice that most of us can attempt to try immediately, he gives information base on his experience that's why his content is still great.

@theartstraveler

A video with useful, objective information that is not a commercial, a painful, cringeworthy paid sponsorship shill. With retinol be patient. Stick with it. Active ingredients.

@NY_Prodigy

I’ve been on adapalene for a while and like you said it’s a game changer. I’ve tried other retinoids and anything more then 1% breaks me out immediately. Seeing what your skin can take is a big part of it

@audaciousifti

Needed this a lot, thanks for pointing out the active ingredients

@IMAInteriors

Oh Wow... I used Differin Gel when I was a teenager to clear up my acne and that changed my life. I never considered it as a retinol treatment. Up to this day I still use it if I have an occasional blemish... but what really makes my skin look good (and I turned 40 now) is a clean-smooth face. I got a laser treatment on my face years ago and now I don´t have to shave at all.

Thank you, Brock, for cutting through all the baloney. I’m an older (68) short (5’ 5”) guy who started watching your channel several years ago for style advice. You’re right about all the “natural” ingredients. There is certainly nothing wrong with them, but are they effective? So I did some research and learned what actually works. I follow a skin care regimen utilizing salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, and retinol containing products. People tell me I look younger than my actual age. I like that.

Thank you Dr. McGoff

@rejeskie

Thank you so much Brock. More of this type of content please

@andrewlee4082

Great overview, especially knowing about active ingredients.

@helgasonb

Excellent video, thank you!

@edjonatchick

Great information, thanks for posting. Another analogy would be name brand versus generic medicine.

@imperfectmammal2566

You never fail to deliver brock!

@Dayz3O6

This is massive info, thank you.

@jlogans5433

This was incredibly useful Brock. Thanks! ❤

@adrianboutsias2437

Hi Brock, great video! Just wanted to offer one piece of info as a Doc, retinoids as a whole are considered to be 'teratogenic', that is, dangerous for a developing baby - even when applied topically (i.e as a cream). As such, all pregnant women (and women of a child-bearing age) must avoid using these products. I know that most of your audience is men, but I thought mentioning it prudent. Otherwise, awesome stuff as usual!

@vjwatchandkicks

Great video. Been on retinoid for years now and it really does wonders!

@Evanspar

"I still get the occasional blemish," he says as he points toward nothing. I've been on adapalene for the past couple months and am excited to get to the point when my skin is clear enough to notice such tiny imperfections. Great video.

@thangviet2826

Thank you for the advice. After watching your video, I switched to using 0.1% Adapalene twice a week. Also, like you suggested, I focused more on the active ingredients rather than the brand names. I added 10% niacinamide serum and 20% azelaic acid from more affordable brands. In the morning I use Vitamin C. Surprisingly, my total cost is only around $10-15 per month but my skin is smoother and acne-free - so much cheaper than before when I just listened to the marketing about product benefits without understanding the key active ingredients. Thank you so much for all the great tips 🥰
