In the endless scroll of products available on Amazon, you can find some of the best men’s grooming products, bar none — there are those that will clear your skin, perfect your beard, keep your aura fresh, and trim or thicken your hair — you just have to know what you’re looking for.
Below, I’ve pulled together a dozen of my favorite grooming products of all time, all of which all happen to be available on Amazon right now. From beard trimmers to fragrances, many of these products have been featured as best-in-class options for their categories in other stories I’ve written for Forbes. They’ll round out your grooming regimen from every angle, ensuring you look and feel your best.
The Best Beard and Body Trimmer
Philips Norelco Multigroom All-in-One Trimmer Series 9000
When the pandemic hit, there was a mad dash to buy up all the beard trimmers and hair clippers, which created a steep demand and high prices. Luckily, the chaos has settled, and you can have your pick amongst the best beard and body trimmers now — and not just from the ones that are available on any particular day.
One of those devices every man should own is a multi-grooming trimmer, like Philips Norelco’s 25-piece kit. Swap out the heads to detail your beard and mustache, to safely snip at stray eyebrows, to zap errant nose hairs, or to mow down any stubble. It handles any and all clean-ups, and best of all, it carries a 6-hour charge on a single hour of plug-in time.
The Best Razor in the Game
GilletteLabs Heated Razor Starter Kit
One of the few genuine shaving innovations of late, GilletteLabs’ launched its heated razor last year to the applause of grooming enthusiasts everywhere. This thing heats up for a shave that feels like a hot towel barbershop shearing. It holds juice for six shaves in a single charge, and the box comes with 10 refill blades—with refills easy to buy on Amazon, too. Since the onset of razor replenishment programs, brands have struggled to do anything new and interesting with shaving—and finally, we have it with this top-shelf device.
The Best Lightweight Night Cream
Erno Laszlo Phelityl Night Cream, 1.7 Fl Oz
Featured in my story on the best men’s moisturizers, this night cream by Erno Laszlo is nice and light, in contrast to many nighttime moisturizers which tend to be thick and heavy feeling. It’s packed with complexion-balancing birch and clove oils, which helps clear and calm your skin. It also works well with all skin types, leaving you with a firmer, brighter complexion come morning.
The Best Complexion-Clearing Product
Grown Alchemist Enzyme Facial Exfoliant
Here’s one wish I have for male readers: That more of you would use chemical exfoliants to keep your skin smooth and clear. Products like Grown Alchemist’s enzyme exfoliant work like a mini peel, to lift dead surface cells. This promotes smoothness and prevents pores from clogging (due to trapped cells and debris inside the pores, being dissolved and buffed away by the peel product). Wear it for 10 minutes, once or twice a week before bed. Rinse it away, follow with a hearty bedtime hydrator, and you’ll wake up with refreshed skin, plus bright, youthful complexion.
The Best Classic Fragrance
Calvin Klein Eternity for Men Eau de Parfum
You can buy dozens of excellent colognes from Amazon’s Premium Beauty store, but Calvin Klein’s Eternity for Men EDP — which we featured as one of the best men’s colognes for gifting — is my favorite among the many greats. Notes of suede, vetiver, sage, apple, cypress and geranium give it a rounded (but grounded) earthy body.
It’s a fougère scent, which means it has a fern-like sensation, both sweet and woody. If you’re going to by a cologne without smelling it first, here is one you can rely on—and because it’s an Eau de Parfum (instead of an Eau de Toilette), it has a high concentration of perfume oils, meaning it’s got a bit more pronunciation than any EDT counterpart.
A Top-of-the-Line Pair of Clippers
Andis Master Cordless Clipper
Featured in my story on the best hair clippers for men, according to a master barber, this sleek cordless pair is the Holy Grail when it comes to hair clippers. With a sleek aluminum body and powerful motor, this device works well for any hair type. According to master barber Julien Howard: “The adjustable blade handle is perfect for precise fading or getting that five o’clock shadow just right. The [10-oz.] weight reflects the power.”
The Best Premium Men’s Soap
Claus Porto Musgo Real Men’s Body Soap, Classic Scent
Portuguese soap maker Claus Porto is one of the industry’s most beloved (and most beautiful!) brands, known as much for its packaging as for its soothing, nourishing body care products. The brand’s Musgo Real label is dedicated to men, offering soaps, shave creams, aftershaves and more.
My favorite of the Musgo Real scents is classic, for a quintessential barbershop finish. You can shop the entire assortment in their Amazon shop, or give yourself a simple brand introduction with this hand and body soap, which is doubly restorative (both physically and on the senses).
The Best Hi-Tech Toothbrush
Oral-B Pro 7000 SmartSeries Toothbrush
Not only is Oral-B’s rechargeable toothbrush one of the most powerful and effective in the biz, but it holds its mighty charge for 24 hours of runtime. It has all the necessities in an electric brush, like timers and 3D oscillation, but it also has six brushing modes: Daily Clean, Gum Care, Sensitive, Whitening, Deep Clean and Tongue Cleaner. It’s also Bluetooth-compatible and enabled with Amazon Dash Replenishment to reorder replacement brush heads whenever you require.
The Best On-The-Go Face Wash
Ursa Major Essential Face Wipes
Ursa Major is one of the best skincare brands with an earth- and consumer-friendly ethos. Its products pack both powerful and soothing ingredients. These face wipes — which are individually wrapped and ideal for packing in your gym bag, carry-on, or tote bag — are among my favorites for their cleansing, hydrating, smoothing and soothing abilities. If you invest in the brand’s entire assortment, available in their Amazon shop, it’s like taking the express train to healthy youthful skin.
The Best Hair Regrowth Treatment
Rogaine Extra Strength 5% Minoxidil Topical Solution
If your hair is thinning on the crown or growing thinner than usual (in density or in shaft diameter), then you’re a likely candidate for minoxidil. Rogaine is the original patent owner on the foams and drops, which open up blood vessels and increase nutrient delivery to hair follicles. This helps regrow hair that you’ve recently lost, and thickens existing shafts (though it cannot regrow any hair lost to recession at the lobes).
This three-month supply is a 1-2x daily application, mess-free, and irritation-free solution. Two things to note, however: It’s important to notify your board-certified doctor that you’re starting minoxidil, although very few people experience side effects. It doesn’t require a prescription, but its results should be noted and monitored — which will take up to three to six months to show.
It’s also worth mentioning that starting minoxidil can trigger existing hairs to re-start their growth phase. So for the first month or so, you’ll notice a little bit extra hair shedding than usual. This is minor, but also normal and expected, as hairs will grow back thicker and fuller in the months to come.
The Most Under-Appreciated Beard Growth and Skincare Device
JJ Ellie Derma Roller Microneedling Kit
Here’s a device that makes perfect sense on paper, but is still underused by men and women alike. Derma rollers, like JJ Ellie’s, are covered in hundreds of tiny needles — 540 0.25 mm titanium needles, in this case. They’re so small that you don’t even notice the miniature punctures they make when you roll the device across your skin. However, these tiny punctures promote collagen growth, which will make skin firmer and increase elasticity and tone.
When used across beards, they can encourage dormant follicles to spurt hairs (though they can’t magically make hair grow where it was never intended). Use this roller after a shower and follow up with your serums and moisturizers. (You can also apply a couple drops of minoxidil, from the previous Rogaine mention, across the beard area each morning or night. After a few months, you may notice some extra sprouts.)
A Not-So-Obvious Skin Savior
Everlasting Comfort Humidifier with Essential Oil Tray
You’d never think of a humidifier as a grooming product, but it’s one of the most best investments for your skin, particularly if you use air conditioners in the hot summer, or to counter bone-dry winters. Your skin suffers when the air lacks moisture; it can become dry, dull and splotchy, and more prone to breakouts. (This is also why your skin often looks its best in the hot, humid summers—because the air is so packed with moisture.)
So, while it might feel amazing to sleep in a cold room, it’s also important to pump hydration back into the air, and Everlasting Comfort’s humidifier is one Amazon’s best-sellers (and I can speak firsthand to its excellence).
