The men's grooming industry is rapidly expanding, with brands increasingly offering comprehensive daily skincare routines alongside traditional styling products. Slick Gorilla, a barbershop-born brand famous for its viral hair products, has recently entered this market with its first dedicated skincare line.
High Demand Leads to Quick Sell-Out
One of Slick Gorilla's clinically-tested skincare sets proved exceptionally popular, selling out shortly after launch. This reflects a growing consumer appetite for straightforward, effective skincare solutions that integrate seamlessly into everyday routines. Although the complete bundle is no longer available, the individual products remain in stock, allowing customers to assemble their skincare regimen piece by piece.
Discount Opportunity for New Range
Shoppers can take advantage of a 15% discount on the brand's new full-priced Skin range by using the promotional code 'REACH15'. The core offering is the Daily Wash and Lightweight Moisturiser Set, now priced at £16.95, reduced from £26.85. This set is designed to provide a simple, low-effort routine that deeply cleanses pores, removes daily build-up, and gently exfoliates while maintaining skin hydration.
The formulation aims to balance oil production, reduce shine, and soothe irritation without heaviness or fragrance, making it suitable for daily use across various skin types, including sensitive skin.
Additional Products in the Line
The skincare range includes several other items available for purchase separately:
- Hydra-Boost Under Eye Patches: Priced at £6.95, or £5.91 with the discount code, these patches focus on refreshing tired-looking skin with fast-acting hydration to smooth fine lines and brighten the under-eye area. They are fragrance-free and alcohol-free for comfort.
- Blemish Patches: A pack of 36 is available for £6.95, or £5.91 with the code. These patches utilise hydrocolloid technology to draw out impurities and protect spots from further irritation, incorporating calming ingredients like Centella Asiatica.
- Super Serum: Costing £14.95, or £12.71 with the code, this multi-tasking serum is formulated to address oiliness, dryness, uneven tone, and early signs of ageing in one lightweight application. It is designed for quick absorption, hydrating the skin and refining texture while improving overall clarity over time.
- Mint Lip Balm: Priced at £5.95, this finishing touch delivers lightweight moisture with a fresh feel, aiming to hydrate, soften, and protect lips from dryness.
Alternative Skincare Options
For those seeking different options, other retailers offer men's skincare sets:
- Boots features the No7 Men's Skincare Regime for £59.95, which includes six products such as a face wash, scrub, eye cream, day moisturiser, serum, and night moisturiser, with a combined value of £117.70 if purchased separately.
- LookFantastic offers the Clinique For Men Daily Hydration Skincare Set for £35, comprising a trio of daily essentials: an anti-age moisturiser, face scrub, and charcoal face wash, specifically designed for men.
Customer Feedback and Ratings
As the Slick Gorilla skincare range is new, there is currently only one review for the lip balm, which praises its fresh scent and hydrating properties. However, the brand maintains a strong reputation on Trustpilot with a 4.5-star rating. Positive reviews highlight Slick Gorilla as a brilliant company with great products and smooth transactions.
While most feedback is favourable, one customer noted a delay in receiving items, indicating a minor issue with delivery times. Overall, the brand is well-regarded for delivering effective, pleasant-smelling products that meet consumer expectations.
