6 Skincare Tips For Men
From the green chemists, natural formulators, and skincare pros at Caldera + Lab.
How to Look and Feel Your Best
At 40, 50, 60 And Beyond
How to Look and Feel Your Best At 40, 50, 60 And Beyond
1. Use a pH-balanced cleanser.
Skin gets drier as we age (source), but many cleansers are formulated for oily teenage skin. A pH-balanced cleanser is gentle on the skin's acid mantle, which means no overdrying.
2. It’s all about the basics.
Sure, additional products can bring increased benefits, but by far the 3 most important skincare steps are:
1. Clean it morning and night.
2. Protect it with SPF.
3. Nourish your skin with products that support its natural renewal cycle
(this would be your moisturizer and serum).
3. Use a nutrient-dense serum before bed.
The most potent serums work on all skin types - balancing for oily skin and nourishing for dry skin. With regular use, crows feet, forehead and frown lines will be less visible, your skin will look firmer, and always feel comfortable to touch. Never oily.
4. Be skeptical of words like “natural” or “high quality”.
We’re scientists so when someone tells us their product is “100% natural” we immediately ask for proof. If a skincare company doesn’t provide 3rd party verification, clinical studies and dermatological reviews, be (very) careful.
5. Choose brands that customize and test their own formulas.
It’s a dirty little skincare industry secret that many brands are using the same ingredient formula. The packaging looks different, but the contents are identical to a dozen others. Choose skincare brands that have invested in crafting one-of-a-kind formulas through extensive R&D to address specific skin concerns.
6. When it comes to skincare, nature needs science.
Rubbing natural ingredients straight onto your skin might sound enticing, but turning wild botanicals (leaves, blossoms, seeds, stems) into a substance that your skin can absorb requires science. There are highly technical extraction methods, complex emulsifications and controlled infusion processes, for example.
Look for brands with chemists on staff, who make each batch in a pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing facility - not an old bathtub or in the back of a Volkswagen.
Living well should include best-in-class skincare.
We developed The Good because men deserve the same exceptional skincare options that women have.
Men shouldn’t be forced to use products formulated for the pimples of their teenage years, lug around a complicated 12-step skincare regimen, or settle for mediocrity.
Our co-founder, Jared Pobre started Caldera to give men plant-based and scientifically-crafted skincare that delivers clinically-verified results. (Science details are below.)

After becoming a father for the first time, our co-founder, Jared Pobre moved his family to the mountains. But the high-altitude weather took a toll on his skin.
Jared’s wife Stacy, was already using several natural high performance and clinically-verified skincare products, but Jared couldn’t find similar quality products for men.
Dry dull-looking skin doesn’t have to be a reality that men just accept any longer. And skincare products that deliver visible results can also be healthy and ethically made - the women’s skincare industry has proven that.
Jared and Stacy created Caldera + Lab because men deserve natural high calibre skincare solutions, and as Jared says, “Taking care of yourself is masculine. We’re providers and caregivers, so it makes sense that we need to take care of ourselves, too.”
