Men’s skincare created in a barbershop that is so good some has bought out
Slick Gorilla’s clinically-tested men’s skincare set sold out quickly, but customers can still buy products separately and save 15% using a special code
The men’s skincare sector continues to develop, with additional brands expanding beyond styling products to provide comprehensive daily regimens. One of the newest brands to embrace this transformation is Slick Gorilla, the barbershop-originated label recognised for its popular hair products, which has recently unveiled its inaugural dedicated skincare collection.
One of its clinically-proven sets became so sought-after it disappeared from shelves rapidly, highlighting the increasing appetite for uncomplicated skincare designed to integrate seamlessly into a daily regime. Whilst the complete package has sold out, the separate products remain purchasable individually, enabling the routine to be assembled step-by-step.
Shoppers can also secure 15% off when they apply the code ‘REACH15’ on the brand’s new full-priced Skin range items. Central to the collection is the Daily Wash and Lightweight Moisturiser Set for £16.95 reduced from £26.85.
This particular product is crafted to provide an effortless, minimal-effort regime that thoroughly cleanses pores, eliminates daily accumulation and softly exfoliates whilst preserving moisture. The formula is claimed to work towards balancing oil, diminishing shine and calming irritation without weightiness or scent, making it appropriate for regular use across various skin types, including delicate skin.
The Hydra-Boost Under Eye Patches are also on offer for £6.95, reduced to £5.91 with the code, which concentrate on revitalising weary-looking skin with rapid-acting moisture that assists in smoothing fine lines and illuminating the under eye region, whilst staying fragrance and alcohol-free for comfort.
The Daily Wash and Lightweight Moisturiser Set is available from Slick Gorilla

This one is designed to deliver a simple, low effort routine that deeply cleans pores, removes daily build-up and gently exfoliates while maintaining hydration
The Blemish Patches, which contain 36 in a pack for £6.95, or £5.91 with the code, are available as well, reports the Mirror. They utilise hydrocolloid technology to extract impurities and shield spots from additional irritation, backed by soothing ingredients such as Centella Asiatica.
Then there’s the Super Serum for £14.95, reduced to £12.71 with the code, which functions as a multi-purpose treatment, created to tackle oiliness, dryness, uneven tone and early signs of ageing in one lightweight application. Engineered for swift absorption, it moisturises and assists in refining texture whilst enhancing overall skin clarity over time, the brand claims.
Final touches, such as the Mint Lip Balm for £5.95, contribute to daily upkeep, providing lightweight moisture with a refreshing sensation. It seeks to ‘hydrate, soften, and protect lips from dryness’, the site states.
If this isn’t suitable for everyone, Boots alternatively stocks the No7 Men’s Skincare Regime for £59.95. Worth £117.70 when purchased individually, this includes six different products, featuring a face wash, face scrub, eye cream, day moisturiser, serum and a night moisturiser.
LookFantastic then stocks the Clinique For Men Daily Hydration Skincare Set for £35 on the site, which provides a trio of everyday skincare essentials, crafted specifically for men. This collection features the Clinique For Men Anti-Age Moisturiser (100ml), Clinique For Men Face Scrub (30ml) and the Clinique For Men Charcoal Face Wash (50ml).
Since the range is fresh there’s only one review of the lip balm thus far, with the customer commenting: “Really great Smells fresh and leaves my lips hydrated.”
Nevertheless, Slick Gorilla boasts excellent ratings on Trustpilot with a 4.5 score. One customer commented: “Slick Gorilla is a brilliant company.”
Another remarked: “Very easy company to deal with, great product and smooth transaction.”
One individual deducted a star and mentioned as part of a lengthier review: “I haven’t yet received the items almost a month on.”
Generally, though, most customers were satisfied. Someone else noted: “Great product, does exactly what it says on the bottle and smells amazing.”
