CARDON Daily Skincare Set for Men | Face Moisturizer with SPF 30 & Clay Face Wash | Best Gift for Men

I have been using this for about a year now. It does a great job cleaning and moisturizing my face and neck. Has a pleasant light citrus scent. Comes at a good price

Just started using this so I can’t speak yet on the results. Easy to use. Is easily absorbed. Doesn’t feel oily or greasy. So far I recommend it.

Not right for my skin. Pores on my nose and face, where product applied, regularly getting clogged pores and breakouts. I’m a 53 year old man, where clogs and breakouts have been rare. Skin cleared up once I discontinued the product.

I sent this set to my college aged son to try out. He hasn't been using the moisturizer much since he has a favorite moisturizer he currently uses, but when he came home from break we noticed his skin was remarkably clearer than it was 2 months ago. We asked him what he was doing (he has acne medication but doesn't use it) and he said he was just using this clay cleanser and moisturizing afterwards. He has sensitive, acne prone skin. If he uses a cleanser that is too strong, it gets dry and flakey. I immediately came here to get another tube of cleanser for him, but Amazon only carries the sets. We may either buy another set or have to look elsewhere to see if we can get the cleanser only. He like that this cleanser cleans his skin but doesn't leave it feeling tight or overly dry. Especially since it's winter currently (and he's outside walking from class to class) this is really important for him.

The Cardon Purifying Clay Cleanser isn't clay colored just in case you wondered, it's actually a white slightly thick cream. Maybe similar to a facial mosturizer texture to it I guess. Wasn't anticipating how highly concentrated it was so have to laugh the first time I squeezed a fair size amount into my hand like I generally do. I was rubbing it on my face and it just lathers like crazy I had lather everywhere. Have to make a mental note next time I guess. I was VERY impressed with it. It has a pleasant light, refreshing, or invigorating fragrance. I won't even try to tell you what exactly it smells like but it makes washing my face a pleasant experience. Rinsed off easily and my face felt clean and fresh no film of something left behind or the flip side where your skin is squeeky tight feeling and uncomfortable. After showering and standing in front of the mirror I grabbed the bottle of SPF+ Moisturizer. According to the Cardon store page when I clicked on the product it contains cactus extract and chia seed oil to provide all-day hydration. Holding the "trial size" looking bottle I wondered how many applications were even inside no way to tell other than the 1.25 ounces listed on the bottle, yes I did say 1.25 oz. Directions state to apply liberally so you see what I'm getting at. It absorbs decent enough if applied when your pores are open and skin is still damp from showering. But I will say though when I tap my finger tips on the skin it feels slightly tacky or not completely absorbed that I can tell I have something on my skin. It's like hold on don't touch my face it hasn't finished drying yet lol. It isn't enough that it makes me disappointed by it's performance. I was conflicted how many stars to give being it's a set and not one individual product. I love the cleanser, the smell, it's super concentrated, lathers up amazingly well, and leaves my face feeling clean and smooth. The SPF+ Moisturizer does absorb quickly and hydrates my skin. While I liked it the moisturizer this IS the full sized version 1.25 oz like I mentioned earlier. I definitely can't see it lasting more than a 2 maybe 3 weeks, if you're lucky, and are using daily. That's the major downside because it means I'd be paying an arm and a leg cumulative cost speaking to have the moisturizer as a part of my daily routine. I can just as easily find a suitable substitute that works as well for a lot less and will last way longer. The cleanser on the other hand being a little goes a very long way I could justify the cost spent on it. So I gave the overall rating of 4 stars. Would have been 5 if the moisturizer came in a larger size for the same price they are asking on their store page. Final thought. I won't deny the Cardon Skincare Set would make a great gift idea for man on his birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day even. He'll enjoy it but when he goes searching to purchase it again, he's more likely not going to dish out the cash and keep his money in his wallet instead. Just my opinion.
