If a sliver-sized soap bar and a residue-covered shampoo bottle defines your entire hygiene regimen, it’s time to clean up your act, so to speak. Priority on men’s hygiene products often falls to the wayside; both by the companies making them and the guys who should be buying them. L’Oreal has designed a line of products exclusively for men — here are TMG’s top five to get you through your standard morning routine.

3-in-1 Energizing Hair and Body Wash

We all have those mornings. You hit the snooze button one too many times, and wake up to realize you only have 20 minutes to get to work. Instead of fumbling half-asleep for three separate bottles, L’Oreal has combined your shampoo, conditioner and body wash into one package. The 3-in-1 Energizing Hair and Body Wash will leave your hair squeaky clean and your skin hydrated and smelling fresh. As a body wash, it would be nice to see 3-in-1 lather up a little more, but it gets the job done. The time you save using 3-in-1 could very well mean the difference between making the subway and missing it.

Oil Controller Cleanser

Your skin constantly produces natural oils that tend to build up over the course of the day. L’Oreal’s Oil Controller Cleanser helps keep your skin from looking too shiny as the day carries on. Combined with exfoliating micro-beads, it will also keep your skin clean and your pores unclogged. While advertised as a moisturizing facial scrub, people with sensitive skin may notice a little tightness in the forehead and upper cheek areas, but for the most part, Oil Controller will leave you feeling crisp and refreshed.

Hydra-Energetic Ice Cold Eye Roller

For the days where you’ve been burning the candle at both ends, L’Oreal has the Hydra-Energetic Eye Roller. Whether you’ve been pulling an all-nighter of working or an all-nighter of celebrating, the eye roller will eliminate that dark and puffy look that comes with that kind of lifestyle. The massaging roller will keep your eyes looking awake and alert.

Comfort Max Anti-Irritation Shave Foam

I’ve always been wary of aerosol, quick-lather shaving foams. I find they rarely moisturize the skin enough to make for a comfortable shaving experience. That said, Comfort Max is better than most. My razor didn’t glide across the skin as easily as it does when using my bottle of shaving cream, but it still got the job done with no irritation. Comfort Max is alcohol free, too, so it’s easier on the skin – both going on and coming off.

Hydra Sensitive After-Shave Balm

One of L’Oreal’s newer products, the Hydra Sensitive balm complements the Comfort Max shave foam. It doesn’t burn like a lot of other after-shave balms — if anything, it’s more of an after-shave moisturizer. It’ll leave your freshly shaven skin feeling soft and smooth without an overpowering scent.
