MONROE LONDON | MEN'S SIMPLIFIED SKINCARE
Shareable, democratic, inclusive, diverse, simplified skincare is what their website suggests. What I understand from that is that the brand Monroe London is a men’s grooming company that is inclusive for all people and every skin colour.
Sounds great but how can one skincare range be fully inclusive of all genders, all skin types, skin age and skin colour, I wondered? Take the two obvious skin types which is oily skin and dry skin, I wonder how one product can truly work equally as well on both? So I’ve got a few of their products to try out.
MONROE LONDON Cleanse & Shave Solution 100ml, £39
Refreshing, low-lather skin cleanser and shaving lotion in-one. Features a cocktail of active plant ingredients including clarifying peppermint, antibacterial and calming bergamot, antiseptic mandarin, skin softening glycerine and antioxidant, reparative vitamins C and E.
MONROE LONDON Exfoliator & Pore Minimiser 60ml, £39
A combo of granular and enzymatic exfoliators including glycolic acid work to smooth, refine and deep-clean pores while anti free radical scavenging vitamins A, B and E protect and reduce environmental damage. Chamomile soothes and calms sensitivity. Skin is left soft and clarified with pores minimised.
MONROE LONDON Glycolic Serum 7% 150ml, £39
Non-abrasive exfoliation using the enzymatic powers of glycolic acid to reveal fresh, glowy skin. Buffered with soothing calendula, anti-bacterial tea tree, antioxidant vitamin E and hydrating hyaluronic acid for comprehensive care.
I’ll be trialling these products over the coming weeks, so if you have any comments or questions, please leave a comment below on the Disqus comments section below.
