Show of hands if you want a simple and effective skincare routine.
You must go through the Cardon skincare review.
Cardon was founded in 2019 by two young, like-minded ladies (Narae Chung & Jacqueline Oak), who saw an opportunity to step into the men’s grooming routine. With the best ingredients and friendly formulas, these two founders started to offer simple yet effective men’s skincare products at an affordable price.
Cardon’s first achievement was the daily SPF + Moisturizer that turned out to be an oasis in the desert for dry-skinned men. Since its inception, it has been and still is in the trend. We will discuss the product in detail in a while.
Besides, the cleanser and beard mask are the other two skincare products that won Askmen’s Grooming Awards. All the products are manufactured in South Korea – the largest skincare hub.
The only ingredient that is consistent so far in Cardon’s journey is the Cactus. What looks prickly from the outside has tons of skin-related benefits internally. Cactus extract is known for enhancing dull skin, moisturizing dry skin, preventing visible signs of aging, and maintaining excess oil production.
So let’s unbox and know what, when, and how you can use different skincare products.

Cardon Purifying Clay Cleanser
What it does: Absorbs pollutants and prevents acne outbreaks
Though Cardon SPF moisturizer is in demand, it still lags behind a purifying clay cleanser.
You might have experienced acne or acne scars, which happen due to excess oil production. Another reason is enlarged pores that might clog up due to excess sebum oil.
These are some of the reasons that are beyond your control, and you will need a skincare product to combat these issues.
The cactus-based skincare product by Cardon is one of its kind. It is packed with the finest ingredients:
- Kaolin Clay
- Bentonite Clay
- Moroccan Lava Clay
- Centella Asiatica
- Cica (Tiger Grass)
All three clays together absorb external impurities, leaving your skin clean and without a greasy residue.
Besides, the Cica (quite a cool name) manages to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and soothe irritated skin.
Lastly, Centella Asiatica treats your acne-prone skin and enhances its appearance.
All the skin care products including this purifying clay cleanser are silicone-free, paraben-free, sulphate-free, reef-safe, and cruelty-free.
Besides, the face cleanser smells great and feels cool when applied. Additionally, it makes your skin soft and supple post-application.
How to use it?

Cardon Daily SPF + Moisturizer
What it does: Prevents from sun damage and combat dryness
Cardon’s first and still trending SPF moisturizer is what you must have in your grooming kit. It is even recommended by dermatologists since it has multiple benefits.
The moisturizer with the broad-spectrum SPF 30 keeps the fine lines and wrinkles at bay. Besides, the SPF 30 moisturizer decreases the chance of skin cancer.
Since sunscreens are of two types, this one by Cardon is lightweight and thinner than zinc-based sunscreens. The water-based formula makes the texture thinner and easier to work with without leaving a white residue. Apart from being thinner, it is even quicker when it comes to absorbing into the skin.
So no matter if the weather forecast calls out for a sunny day, you can still go out freely after applying this SPF moisturizer.
All that contributed to making this SPF 30 moisturizer trending, popular, and most importantly effective are the active ingredients:
- Cactus Extract: Soothes skin
- Turmeric: Brightens dull skin
- Avobenzone: Restricts the sun rays
- Homosalate: Prevents visible signs of aging
- Octyl Salicylate: Absorbs UVB rays
- Chia Seed Oil: Restores skin’s barrier
Now that you know what it includes and how it benefits you- let’s know how to use sunscreen.
How to use it?
Firstly, it is advisable to use the SPF moisturizer without skipping, even if you are not going out in the sun.
The SPF moisturizer comes in a soft, squeeze bottle. You are required to squeeze a nickel-sized amount in your hands.
Spread across your hands and cover your face and neck.
If you are planning to go out in the sun, apply it 15 minutes before stepping out. You must keep on reapplying every two hours if you are a hard worker working directly under the sun. This way, you not only save your skin from scorching heat but also improve its appearance.
