Lab Series eye-cream

Daily Rescue Energizing Eye Treatment

A remarkably clean-formula eye treatment — fragrance-free, alcohol-free, oil-free, silicone-free — that packs caffeine, Argireline, green tea, and hyaluronic acid into a lightweight gel-cream. It does exactly what a men's eye product should: brighten, depuff, and hydrate without any fuss or heaviness.

Lab Series moisturizer

Daily Rescue Energizing Face Lotion

The quiet overachiever of men's moisturizers — 4-5% niacinamide, dual peptides, resveratrol, caffeine, and probiotics packed into a lightweight lotion that absorbs in seconds. It does the work of multiple products while feeling like you put on nothing at all.

Lab Series Anti-Age Max LS Power V Lifting Cream in dark jar Men's Anti-Aging Powerhouse
Lab Series moisturizer

Anti-Age Max LS Power V Lifting Cream

One of the most ingredient-dense men's anti-aging creams on the market — triple peptides, niacinamide, ergothioneine, caffeine, and a sprawling botanical antioxidant network deliver genuine multi-pathway anti-aging in a no-nonsense format. At ~5, the value-for-complexity ratio is strong.

Lab Series All-In-One Multi-Action Face Wash in dark squeeze tube Men's Grooming Workhorse
Lab Series cleanser

All-In-One Multi-Action Face Wash

A smart, no-fuss dual-action cleanser that combines micro-silica physical exfoliation with acetyl glucosamine chemical exfoliation to deliver genuinely smoother, cleaner skin — exactly the kind of efficient, multi-tasking product that men's skincare should be.

Lab Series Age Rescue Water-Charged Gel Cream in a dark glass jar with screw-top lid Men's Anti-Aging Workhorse
Lab Series moisturizer

Rescue Water Gel Cream

A genuinely impressive ingredient list wrapped in a texture that men actually enjoy using — the Rescue Water Gel Cream packs more actives into one jar than most men's products attempt across an entire lineup, though the premium price and unnecessary fragrance keep it from perfection.

Lab Series Urban Blue Detox Clay Mask in a dark squeeze tube Men's Pore-Clearing Essential
Lab Series mask

Urban Blue Detox Clay Mask

A refreshingly thoughtful clay mask that does what most competitors forget — it purifies without punishing. The triple-clay and charcoal combination clears pores effectively while the smart inclusion of hydrating ingredients keeps skin comfortable, all in a fragrance-free formula that respects post-shave sensitivity.

Lab Series Daily Rescue Water Lotion in translucent bottle Men's Hydration First Step
Lab Series toner

Daily Rescue Water Lotion

A smart toner-treatment hybrid that puts 4% niacinamide, resveratrol, hyaluronic acid, and caffeine into a weightless water format — perfect for oily-skinned men who want active ingredients without any heaviness. The denatured alcohol content means dry and sensitive skin should look elsewhere.

Lab Series MAX LS Age-Less Power V Lifting Cream in a premium dark jar Premium Men's Anti-Aging
Lab Series moisturizer

Skincare for Men MAX LS Age-Less Power V Lifting Cream

Lab Series' most technically ambitious product delivers a genuinely sophisticated peptide and antioxidant complex wrapped in a luxurious cream — but temper your expectations on the 'lifting' claims, because no jar of cream can defy gravity, no matter how many peptides it contains.

Lab Series Pro LS All-in-One Face Treatment gel-cream moisturizer in a charcoal squeeze tube Men's Grooming Staple
Lab Series moisturizer

Pro LS All-in-One Face Treatment

A reliable multi-tasker for men who want hydration, oil control, and a touch of anti-aging in one tube — but the fragrance and modest ingredient depth make it a better convenience pick than a performance powerhouse.

Lab Series Oil Control Daily Moisturizer white tube with green accent Oil Control MVP
Lab Series moisturizer

Oil Control Daily Moisturizer

A genuinely smart oil-control moisturizer that tackles shine from multiple angles rather than just slapping clay on your face and calling it a day. The salicylic acid and zinc PCA combination provides real, sustained sebum management, though the fragrance and alcohol make it a less-than-ideal choice for reactive skin.

Lab Series Daily Moisture Defense Lotion SPF 15 white tube packaging Men's Grooming Staple
Lab Series spf-moisturizer

Daily Moisture Defense Lotion SPF 15

A legacy men's SPF moisturizer with a surprisingly thoughtful antioxidant formula, but the SPF 15 ceiling feels like a relic of a bygone era. Great texture and barrier support for daily desk-bound protection, but you'll want something stronger for anything beyond a commute.

Lab Series Rescue Water Lotion hydrating toner in a tall dark bottle Hydrating Prep Step
Lab Series toner

Rescue Water Lotion

A smart adaptation of the Asian hydrating toner concept for men's routines, delivering genuine brightening results from its 4% niacinamide core — but the alcohol denat. and witch hazel inclusion creates a contradiction between its hydrating promise and its irritation potential.
