The demand for topical products capable of preventing aging or delivering cosmetic improvement to the male skin is growing. Companies are marketing products that are labeled "for men." Nevertheless, there is no consensus on which properties these products should possess. This article aims to develop a rational approach to men's cosmeceuticals based on anatomic and physiologic features of the male skin without neglecting behavioral idiosyncrasies when relevant. A review of the literature for skin gender singularities was used to determine the needs of male skin and subsequently to postulate how cosmeceuticals could fulfill these needs. Cosmeceutical ingredients capable of reversing sun-induced alteration are of particular benefit for men. Adapting cosmetic treatment to male grooming routines increases compliance. Shaving presents an opportunity to deliver cosmeceuticals for men. The marketing of skin care products for men is evolving and becoming seemingly complex; further research is warranted.
对能够预防衰老或改善男性皮肤外观的外用产品的需求正在不断增长。各公司正在推销标有“男士专用”的产品。然而，对于这些产品应具备哪些特性，目前尚无共识。本文旨在基于男性皮肤的解剖学和生理学特征，制定一种合理的男士药妆品研发方法，同时在相关情况下不忽视行为特性。通过回顾有关皮肤性别差异的文献来确定男性皮肤的需求，进而推测药妆品如何满足这些需求。能够逆转阳光引起的变化的药妆成分对男性尤其有益。使美容治疗适应男性的日常护理习惯可提高依从性。剃须为提供男士药妆品提供了契机。男士护肤品的市场正在不断发展，且似乎变得日益复杂；有必要进行进一步研究。
