Brickell Men's Products Daily Advanced Face Care Routine I, Gel Facial Cleanser Wash, Face Scrub, Facial Moisturizer Lotion, Natural and Organic Men's Skin Care Gift Set, Scented

I was extremely upset when Dermalogica stopped selling the mens branded stuff I used. The main product was the daily defense moisturizer. I tried everything from Jack Black, to Lab Series, and then Kiehls. I didnt like any of those.On a whim(and caught by a FB ad) I did some research on this brand. Seemed like it got pretty good reviews so what could hurt?Upon receiving the product, I really liked the packaging. I also felt that for the price I was used to paying, this was fair and in the same ballpark. Also, none of my product was spoiled or in bad shape.I never used to clean my face at night, only in the morning during the shower. This product helped me start a new routine at night.The gel facial cleanser smells good(all the products smell good to me actually) and I can feel it gets rid of whatever gunk was on my face before it. Never really thought about what I left on my face at night, but now I dont have to worry about it. Since Im not used to washing my face at night, Im not really sure how long Im supposed to leave the cleanser on my face. When I wash my face in the shower, I usually put the cleanser on and then do my hair or wash the rest of my body, then I wash it all off at one time. I think Ive been trying to wait a minute or so before washing this gel off, at least I can feel a difference after its washed. One thing to note, when Im washing my face, I can feel how smooth it is from the moisturizer I use in the morning(more on that below).After the cleansing, I actually use their night cream(not included in this package). As with most items when it comes to personal care, a little goes a long way. I probably use a drop of everything the size of two peas. My face is still a little damp(I just blot off the previously washed face water) when I apply this and it spreads nicely and evenly. I got the unscented version but it still has the faintest amount of smell. Not that its bad, just that my nose notices everything. This product, unlike the face moisturizer lotion(mentioned below) is exactly like it states, a cream. However, it goes on quick and doesnt leave any greasiness on my face or hands. Nothing to wipe off.Only thing I will note is that since using this product, I have had consistent, almost nightmarish dreams every night. Maybe Im susceptible to chemicals on my face or something, but these are really crazy and vivid. Now, dont get me wrong, I actually really like them and need to start writing them down. I am kind of twisted in the mind though...Back to the product. I use the face scrub only twice a week as its pretty strong as an exfoliater. I use some of my dermalogica the rest of the days. The face scrub has a nice minty smell to it but does have those microbeads. This is why it exfoliates so well. The actual sauce(Im using that word) the microbeads are in feels more like an astringent than the gel facial cleanser I use at night. Anyway, my face feels super clean after this one as it should.Lastly we have the face moisturizer. This was actually the product I was shopping for in the first place but got sucked into the whole package(not mad at that). It is definitely the most liquid like of all the products I had tried as a moisturizer. Unfortunately, it does not have any SPF in it, which is what I liked most about the daily defense, but alas, I must move on. As with all the Brickell products, you should shake everything before you use it. This is the only one that I have an issue with, every, time. Make sure you have the spout near your hand after you shook it because if you dont, it shoots across the sink. Maybe shaking this one pressurizes it but it literally shoots out. Also it shoots out way more than you want to use, so I end up sucking it back into the container. Long story short, this moisturizer goes on smooth and disappears quickly. Theres nothing left on my fingers or hands to wipe off, no greasiness at all. My face never gets dry and I havent broken out from it. Only thing I notice is that my forehead maybe gets a little shiney more often, but then again we have had some heatwaves here lately so it could be that.All in all, I will continue to use these products and stay with this brand. Hopefully they continue everything and I can keep on with my regimen.

While the price may seem shocking, Brickell claims that these products can last about a month to a month and a half. Which is pretty cheap on a day to day rate! I decided to switch over to Brickell after I had a quarter-life crisis about my hair and skin and wanted to pursue an ongoing youthful look.The face wash leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean without making it feel oily or heavy. It lathers up well although I must say that it takes a bit longer than expected to wash off. But a few extra seconds won't do any damage. My only complaint is that when it arrived, the seal wasn't on too well. But considering everything came wrapped in a box, I'm not concerned.I've used the scrub once and I think it helped. I have a considerable amount of blackheads on my nose that are annoying to look at and tempting to squeeze. Once I used this scrub, I noticed a cleaner nose and my skin did not feel irritated at all. Rather, it felt minty and refreshed. I do recommend using the recommended amount. It may not feel like enough to cover the face but trust me, it does. 3Finally, the moisturizer. Although Brickell recommends using a dime sized amount; I think less can be used. But this lotion left my face feeling oily at first but then left my skin feeling nice and smooth.I definitely would like to purchase more of Brickell's products in the future. I'm glad that they use natural and organic products to bring quality care to my body!

My wife always used lotions and such on her face. I had oily skin and pretty much ignored this. After Mother nature (and a divorce!) caught up with me, I started paying attention to my face.There are three parts to the kit.The first part is the face wash. I have used other face washes, including plain soap but they leave my face feeling too dried out. Brickell's facewash cleans well without drying out your face. I use it twice a day. I love this facewash!The second part of the kit is the face scrub. I use it once a week although twice is recommended. Its meant to remove dead skin. I think its just OK but its probably more because my face does not need it. I prefer the charcoal facemask twice a week for my oily skin. But not reviewing that here.The third part of the skin is the Essential Face Moisturizer. Has a fresh, light smell. A little dab takes care of your face, and it is pretty amazing. Also, does not feel oily afterwards. And did I mention that this stuff is made for men's skin and not women's skin? I used it every day and night...until I switched to another one of their products for nighttime. Highly recommended!Their products are a bit pricey, but not if you compare to the stuff our women buy!Our faces are one of the first things that show our age...why shouldn't we want to slow that down a bit?Totally worth it!

I’m turning 30 soon and trying to take better care of myself. One aspect of that is improving my face care routine. I came across this brand mentioned in GQ and found out that they will send you a sample pack of pretty much every product in their line for just the cost of shipping. Figured that was worth it so I got that although I was primarily only interested in only the moisturizer and the face scrub.After using the samples I immediately purchased this routine kit as all three of the products worked well for me. So far it has been a couple weeks of regularly using these products and I can see a difference! My skintone is much more even now with fewer blemishes.For those concerned about price: If you are only comparing the cost with the size of the product it would seem as though they are overpriced however I will say that the recommened usage every day is quite small. A dime sized amount would do in most cases. When factoring that in, I think the value for this is fair.I like the packaging and the fact that everything is harmonious. Really simple routine to follow and if you’re like me you’ll see improvement.
