Action Solutions For Men - new skincare line - pics, swatches & review on 5 items from the line!

Hello, Beautiful!

There is a new men's skincare line that recently launched: Action Solutions For Men. I had my male product testers try most of the line, which includes a cleanser, face scrub, shave cream, pre-shave oil, and after shave repair (there is also a Hair, Face & Body Wash, plus a Lip Action balm but didn't have those to try out at the time). With the holidays coming up soon, now is a great time to look into gifts for the man in your life - significant other, best friend, brother, father, etc. Anthony Logistics for Men developed the Action Solutions For Men product line, so you know it's backed by a great company - but the Action Solutions For Men is a more affordable line with price points averaging about $12 to $14. Check out their review on each product, plus all the product info, after the pics!

A winning workout for your face. A refreshing combination of rose hip oil, echinacea, and calendula cleanse, moisturize and calm all in one easy action. A select white tea complex improves lipid production and works as a powerful antioxidant.

This cleanser has a nice creamy silky gel texture. It smells good too - like orange creamsicle! As for how it works, my male product testers thought it was a nice face cleanser that did a good job with no complaints. They noted you didn't need to use a whole lot to get the job done, so the price point wasn't bad.  They would recommend.


Action Solutions For Men

A gentle exfoliator that scrubs away dead skin cells, lifts beard hairs and releases trapped ingrown hairs. Removes dull, dry flaky skin. Lifts beard hairs and releases trapped ingrown hairs for a close shave.

This face scrub has a fine grit texture with a bright orange color. It has a  scent that was hard to describe - it was similar to the cleanser, but not so much orange creamsicle as much as just orange and something else.

It's not the most intense face scrub out there, but did enough to make their skin soft after use. Because it's not a harsh scrub, you could use this a few times a week or even daily if needed. Both my male product testers felt it was good and was happy enough with it that they'd recommend - although one of my male product testers did note that for the price point they're not sure they'd repurchase all the time because of how quickly they went through it (he used it daily - and probably used more than needed).



Action Solutions For Men
Pre-Shave Oil
 

 



Action Solutions For Men Pre-Shave Oil Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $13.00 (2 fl oz full size). Available on the Action Solutions For Men website, at Drugstore.com, Duane Reade stores, and coming soon to Kohls, and everywhere else Action Solutions For Men products are sold.

Preparation is the name of the game. This blend of peppermint, rosemary, macadamia, and olive oils helps to soften the beard and works to guard the skin giving you a close and comfortable shaving experience. Hydrates and softens beard. Prepares and protects skin during shaving while helping to prevent razor burn.

This has a silky oil texture and smells a bit like peppermint. Only one of my male product testers tried this one out and unfortunately didn't find it to be anything amazing but it wasn't awful either. It was just an average, good product. He didn't feel it really prepared his skin/beard hair in any way, compared to shaving without it. He does have very coarse hair, so maybe if you don't have as coarse hair this would be more effective.

Action Solutions For Men
Shave Cream

A seriously close shave. The richest, thickest cream that helps make your stubble soft and your razor glide. With vitamins B5, A, E, C and aloe to help your skin feel out of this world. Promotes a smooth close shave. Makes razor glide - not drag - over the skin. Rinses off razor easily.

This shave cream has a whipped creamy texture and a light scent - but it was hard for me to describe the scent. I wrote down a faint smell of peppermint, but I had a question mark next to it which means I couldn't fully decide on what the scent was lol.

Both my male product testers really liked this shave cream. They had no complaints and would definitely recommend!

Action Solutions For Men
After-Shave Repair
 




Action Solutions For Men After-Shave Repair Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $15.00 (3 oz full size). Available on the Action Solutions For Men website, at Drugstore.com, Duane Reade stores, and coming soon to Kohls, and everywhere else Action Solutions For Men products are sold.
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Kisses

No need to get irritated! Cool it. This greaseless, quickly absorbed emulsion moisturizes, soothes, and calms razor burn. Instantly soothes skin after shaving. Cools on contact. Reduces minor razor burn and redness while restoring skin's moisture.

This after-shave repair has a thick, creamy gel texture that has practically no scent at all. Feels cooling and refreshing when you apply, and does a good job at reducing redness. Both my male product testers were happy with this product and would recommend. On a side note, doesn't my one swatch look like a hand giving a thumbs up?
