Looking specifically for men but I’m open to all opinions. I’ve been doing some experimenting over the last 2 and a bit years, trying to find what works best for me. I’d love to get some opinions on what has worked for others.

stuff I’ve tried:

L'Oréal Men Expert (no complaints)
Bull Dog (not the biggest fan)
Neutrogena (no complaints either)
SkinCeuticals (borrowed from my partner who got some as a gift)

I’m in Europe if it helps

Even soap and water (or hot water) is bad if you do it too often, doing every day is bad for the body, as it removes the natural protection your skin produces and NEEDS, and you don't need the skin care products unless it is for some issues you have on your skin (medical reason). Those products often creates more issues with your skin. We should always visit an expert on skin care with studies and stop following random people.

Most of the marketing about skin protection is bs.

And sunscreen is also probably better for said protection than some special bs shite.

And yeah medical reasons is a whole different thing entirely.

But we are talking about skincare in general, right? Sunscreen is good to protect your skin from sun and very recommendable, but the OP isn't asking sunscreen, he is asking for general products and what I have seen on internet, there is a lot of abuse of those products and misinformation, that's why I would go to an expert to know the best for your skin, as every skin is different.
