Most Nourishing: King C Gillette Beard & Face Wash

Not only is the formula primed for nourishing beard hair with its argan, coconut, and an avocado oil-blend base, but it’ll also remove dirt, oil, and other impurities from the skin beneath. As with everything Gillette does, it’s a superbly efficient product that doubles down as an effective face wash even if you’re clean-shaven—and, thanks to its conditioning abilities, will lessen the amount of beard oil needed post-use. Applied in the morning, the menthol will refresh your face as you go, then leave your facial hair with a masculine mix of sage, cedarwood, cardamom, and sandalwood.

Best for Short Beards: Men Rock Awakening Sicilian Lime And Caffeine Beard Soap

Men Rock

Awakening Beard Wash, Zesty Sicilian Lime & Caffeine Scent

Infused with the signature Sicilian lime scent that runs throughout the Men Rock range, this beard shampoo builds to a significant but gentle lather that doesn’t dry the skin. It’s power-packed with caffeine to help restructure damaged and wiry facial hair, as well as energizing the skin that lies beneath. A great all-rounder that can be freely used on a daily basis, it is better for shorter-length facial hairstyles than ones that require extra taming.
