Meet Louis from Clear for Men

“My name is Louis, I’m 24 and I talk very openly about my mental health journey.”

“I’ve always taken solace in my self-care routine because it not only grounds me, but it reminds me to take a moment for myself. When I look good, I feel more confident in myself. My self-care routine got me thinking… Life is 100mph, but when do we take five minutes for ourselves? Clear For Men was born around this insight; a skincare brand for men, with a mission to break the stigma around male mental health, one bottle at a time.”

Problem we solve

We want to educate men on the importance of self-care and show them that it’s not weak to express vulnerability, Men’s self-care and wellbeing is often overlooked by the beauty industry, so we want to level the playing field by creating a skincare brand that cares, gives back and leads the way to becoming a 100% sustainable brand.

Our solution

A skincare brand that aims to educate and inform on the importance of men’s self care through the act of skincare rituals and moments to ‘take five’. Single-use plastic is an evergrowing concern in the cosmetic industry, so Clear for Men uses an innovative solution that means our packaging is created out of waste biomass. With 64% of consumers preferring sustainable packaging, this switch will be a revolutionary way to differentiate Clear For Men.
