Every Man Jack is a super affordable, easy to find skin care line for men. The product line includes all you need for skin, body and hair care. Some of these products include soap (body bar), body wash, shampoo, deodorant, hair styling products, sun protection, face scrubs, shave cream. (FAQ: Can Men use Women's Skin Care Products?)

Every Man Jack is a budget, drugstore-priced skin care line and most products are priced at $8 or under except for the kits, which are currently priced at $15. You can find Every Man Jack products in stores such as Target, Hy Vee, Whole Foods and Fred Meyer.

Every Man Jack: Post-Shave Face Lotion - Description and Directions

The directions on this post-shave face lotion read, "Apply to skin every morning and night. And always after shaving." It also says, "This light, non-greasy formula will deeply hydrate and help heal dry or razor irritated skin. All without blocking pores. Suitable for all skin types."

Simply stated, this is a daily moisturizer. Sure, you should moisturize after you shave, but tying it to shaving is a bit confusing. Perhaps the "post-shave" is for the men who think they are buying a shaving lotion? Regardless, this daily moisturizer comes in fragrance-free, signature mint and sun protection. The product comes in a 4.2 ounce tube and is currently priced at $6.

Every Man Jack: Post-Shave Face Lotion - Review

Things We Love:

  • Price: We noted this in our review of Every Man Jack's Shave Cream and Pre-Shave Face Scrub but we have to note it here, too. When you look at the Every Man Jack products, they look like a pricy men's line similar to the higher priced Jack Black product line. But instead of being under $50, these products are all under $10.
  • Fragrance-Free or Lightly Scented: Again, as noted in the Shave Cream, the Signature Mint is just lightly scented. It smells wonderful and because it's staying on your skin, a subtle scent sticks around for quite some time. It is not heavy at all. But if you have a cologne that you like to wear, the fragrance-free is perfect for you.
  • Free of the Controversial Ingredients: Free of parabens, phthalates, dyes, sodium lauryl sulfate. Also, not tested on animals.
  • Light Hydration: If you have oily, combination or normal skin, this moisturizer will likely be enough for your skin. Dry skin might need a more hydrating moisturizer.
  • Soaks in Very Quickly: This is a product that you will love using. The moisturizer does its job quickly and soaks into your skin without leaving a greasy feeling left behind.

What We Don't Love

We believe that the addition of SPF to our daily moisturizers shouldn't be optional. And with Every Man Jack, if you want the SPF lotion, you have to skip the signature mint scent. We think there should be two options, Fragrance-Free SPF and Signature Mint SPF. A night time moisturizer without SPF is great, but for daily moisturizing, please choose the SPF lotion.

Every Man Jack: Post-Shave Face Lotion - Final Thoughts

We do think that it should have SPF in every bottle, not just the one specifically called Sun Protection. We think that many men might think that is a sunscreen and not choose it for a daily moisturizer. That said, the non-greasy formula and the amazing price point are big bonus points for Every Man Jack Face Lotion.
