There’s nothing more appealing in our opinion than a product that really capitalises on the idea of ‘work smarter, not harder’. In other words, a multi-purpose formula that targets a variety of needs is our kind of jam.

And while we’re asking the men in our lives to reserve the 3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner and body wash for the gym bag or as a travel essential, there are a number of overachieving grooming products that deserve a look in too.

Here are seven multi-tasking products he’ll love.

Dermalist AllSerum Skin Perfector

Does the world of serums leave you feeling mystified? Then stress no more because this does-it-all serum takes the guesswork out of skin care layering. Boasting 15 active ingredients (including several peptides, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, squalane and vitamin E – just to name a few) this hard worker tackles fine lines and wrinkles, redness, inflammation, dark spots, pigmentation, breakouts, free radical damage and the minimisation of pores – all while hydrating, nourishing and boosting radiance in the skin. Damn.

Redken Brews 3 In 1 Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Wash

3-in-1 co-washes are a great pick for the gym bag or whenever you’re travelling light. This pick utilises crafted malt to strengthen, nourish and condition hair and soften skin. The fresh and spicy scent certainly doesn’t hurt either.

Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
