Nivea for Men Moisturizing Face Wash with Menthol and Vitamin E, 5 Ounce

Bah! Real men don't use skin care products, right? I mean, who wants to smell like they spent the afternoon in a French brothel?

Well, after my skin broke out for no apparent reason, a female friend suggested that I try a glycerin-based facial cleanser. I figured what the heck, what did I have to loose? I decided to give it a try.
