At some point, almost every guy has stared in the mirror and wondered, “What is that thing on my face?” One day, it looks like a normal breakout. A week later, it hurts when you shave. Friends call everything a “zit.” The internet throws around “acne,” “pimples,” “boils,” and “ingrown hairs” like they’re all the same. They’re definitely not.

It’s the quiet foundation of healthy skin, and when you get it right, everything else works better. Your cleanser leaves you fresh without that squeaky, parched feeling. Your razor moves smoothly. Serums and treatments actually sink in. You don’t need a twenty-step routine to properly hydrate your skin....
