Men's Skincare FAQ | PAURUSH
Men's skincare, minus the nonsense. Your questions, answered
PAURUSH is a premium men's skincare brand: clean, cruelty-free formulas in a simple 3-step routine: wash, hydrate, recover. Sold at paurushskin.com and on Amazon.
What is PAURUSH?
PAURUSH is a men's skincare brand sold in the United States at paurushskin.com and on Amazon. The name is Sanskrit (पौरुष) for strength of character: the discipline to do small things well, every day. The whole catalog is three products designed as one 3-minute routine: Charcoal Face Wash ($14.99, 100 ml), Moisturizer Face Cream ($14.99, 50 ml) and Under Eye Gel ($19.99, 30 ml). PAURUSH the skincare brand is not affiliated with any similarly named supplement or wellness product.
What is the best skincare routine for men?
Three things done well, every day: wash, hydrate and protect from the sun. With PAURUSH it takes about three minutes. Wash with the Charcoal Face Wash, hydrate with the Moisturizer Face Cream, then pat the Under Eye Gel under each eye to recover. In the morning, finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. We don't make a sunscreen yet, so use one you like. Our moisturizer layers cleanly under it.
Do I need sunscreen with PAURUSH?
Yes, every morning. Dermatologists recommend a broad-spectrum, water-resistant SPF 30 or higher every day, and none of our three products contains SPF. We would rather tell you that than let you assume otherwise. Apply sunscreen last, after the moisturizer. Skip it at night.
Is charcoal face wash good for oily skin?
Yes. PAURUSH Charcoal Face Wash (100 ml) is made for oily, combination and normal skin. Activated charcoal with salicylic and glycolic acid lifts excess oil and keeps pores clear, while aloe vera and green tea keep skin calm instead of stripped. Massage onto wet skin for 30 to 60 seconds, then rinse. It should leave your face clean, never tight.
Will PAURUSH work for dry or sensitive skin?
Usually, with a little care. The face wash contains salicylic and glycolic acid, which can dry out very dry or reactive skin. If that's you, start with once a day in the evening and always follow with the moisturizer. The Moisturizer Face Cream puts hydration back without a greasy film, so use it after every wash. Patch-test any new product on your jaw for a day first. If it doesn't work for you, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers it.
Do men actually need moisturizer?
Yes. Washing removes oil. Moisturizer puts hydration back, so skin doesn't feel tight or overproduce oil to compensate. PAURUSH Moisturizer Face Cream (50 ml) is a lightweight cream with niacinamide, vitamin E, aloe vera and cucumber. It absorbs fast with no greasy film and works after shaving. A dime-sized amount covers your face.
What helps dark circles under men's eyes?
Look for niacinamide to brighten the look of dark circles, a gentle vitamin A such as retinyl palmitate (pro-retinol) to support skin renewal, and a light oil like grapeseed for moisture. PAURUSH Under Eye Gel (30 ml) combines all three in a cooling gel cream. Puffiness can look better within minutes. Dark circles and fine lines take 3 to 4 weeks of twice-daily use. It won't rewrite your genetics, and we won't pretend it does. Sleep, water and daily SPF do the rest.
Does PAURUSH contain fragrance?
No. We don't add fragrance, parfum or scent of any kind to any PAURUSH product. The complete ingredient list is published on every product page, so you can check for yourself.
Is PAURUSH cruelty-free? What's in it?
Yes. No parabens, no sulfates, no silicones, no added fragrance, and no testing on animals, by us or our suppliers. The complete ingredient list (INCI) is published on every product page, so you can check every ingredient yourself.
How long does each PAURUSH product last?
About two months each with twice-daily use: the 100 ml Charcoal Face Wash, the 50 ml Moisturizer Face Cream and the 30 ml Under Eye Gel. The Daily Duo and The Complete Routine each cover roughly two months of their routine.
How much does PAURUSH cost per day?
The Complete Routine (face wash, moisturizer and under eye gel) is $39.98 and lasts about two months, roughly $0.67 a day. The Daily Duo (face wash and moisturizer) is $26.98, about $0.45 a day. Bought separately, the three products total $49.97.
Which should I start with: The Daily Duo or The Complete Routine?
Start with The Daily Duo ($26.98) if you want the essentials: wash, then hydrate. If you do nothing else, do these two. Choose The Complete Routine ($39.98) if tired-looking eyes, dark circles or puffiness bother you too. Both cost less than buying the products separately.
Can I use PAURUSH after shaving?
Yes. Apply the Moisturizer Face Cream after shaving; aloe vera helps calm post-shave skin. Wash before you shave, not after, and keep the face wash off freshly nicked skin, since its salicylic and glycolic acid can sting.
Where can I buy PAURUSH?
At paurushskin.com with free U.S. shipping, or on Amazon through the PAURUSH brand store. The Daily Duo and The Complete Routine offer the best price per product.
What is the shipping and return policy?
Free U.S. shipping on every order, a 30-day money-back guarantee and free returns. If it doesn't earn its place on your shelf, send it back, on us.
How long until I see results?
Skin feels cleaner and less tight in the first week. Visible changes, like less shine, brighter-looking under-eyes and a more even tone, typically show after 2 to 4 weeks of twice-daily use. No miracle claims: skincare works the way strength works, gradually, then noticeably.
Where do PAURUSH reviews come from?
Our first reviews came from the Amazon Vine program, where reviewers receive a free product in exchange for an honest opinion. Every Vine review is labeled as one on our site. Reviews from paying customers are added as they come in.
What does "Paurush" mean?
Paurush (पौरुष) is Sanskrit for strength of character: the discipline to do the small things daily. Strength, applied daily.
