Kiehl's Father's Day Gift Guide – Top Skincare Gifts for Men
Let’s face it, a lot of dads are impossible to buy for – particularly when they’re adamant that they don’t need anything for Father’s Day. This year, the solution might be as simple as giving him something he’d never think to buy for himself: skincare.
Men’s skin tends to be more prone to excess oil, enlarged pores, and clogged hair follicles, so it’s important to keep the skin balanced with adequate hydration and regular cleansing. Skincare presents for dad, then, will give him the perfect nudge for an area of self-care that he’s probably neglecting.
Stumped for Father’s Day gift ideas? We’ve assembled some fool-proof skincare gifts for dad to take the guesswork out of your shopping this September.
Father’s Day gift ideas
We’ve broken down our Father’s Day gift guide into five essential categories.
- Facial cleansers: The foundation of any skincare routine, cleansers remove dirt, oil, and impurities that build up on the skin.
- Moisturisers: A must-have product to keep hydration levels in check.
- Anti-ageing serums: Our hero serums for anti-ageing concerns like fine lines and sagging skin.
- Body care: Body washes and moisturisers that cleanse and nourish skin.
- Shaving products: Brushless shaving creams that provide a smoother, closer, more comfortable shave.
Whether you’re building a skincare routine from scratch or expanding his selection of products, there’s a men’s skincare gift for every dad.

Facial cleanser gifts for dad
Throughout the day, the skin can accumulate a buildup of impurities, including sweat, dirt, sebum, environmental pollutants, and other debris. Without proper cleansing, this can exacerbate skin concerns like clogged pores, dullness, excess oil, and blemishes. So, if your dad has no skincare routine to speak of, a facial cleanser is the perfect place to start.
- Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser: Designed for normal, sensitive, and oily skin, this gentle foaming cleanser thoroughly removes impurities while respecting the skin’s natural moisture levels.
- Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash: This refreshing gel face wash is formulated specifically for men’s skin: effectively removing debris, dirt, and oil. Caffeine, menthol, and vitamin E combine to energise and refresh the skin.
Moisturiser gifts for dad
Along with cleanser, moisturiser is a must-have skincare present for dad.
Moisturising products help fortify the skin’s protective lipid layer – the skin moisture barrier – and prevent water loss in the skin. Browse our top moisturiser gifts for dad below.
- Facial Fuel Energizing Moisture Treatment for Men: Uniquely formulated for men’s skin, this moisturiser is infused with vitamin C, vitamin E, and caffeine to boost the skin’s vitality and resilience. Consider this your dad’s daily reviver of dull, tired, and dehydrated skin.
- Ultra Facial Cream: Harnessing the benefits of squalane and glycerin, this lightweight moisturiser is ideal for all skin types – including sensitive. Imparting up to 24 hours of hydration, the Ultra Facial Cream helps soften and smooth dry skin while protecting the skin moisture barrier.
Anti-ageing gifts for dad
Even if your dad is a skincare novice, it’s never too late to build an anti-ageing skincare routine. And we’ve got the ideal men’s skincare gift for dad: the Age Defender collection. This range has been developed for men’s ageing skin, working to rejuvenate and smooth the complexion.
- Age Defender Power Serum: Designed for morning and nighttime use, this fast-absorbing anti-wrinkle serum helps visibly firm the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
- Age Defender Cream Moisturizer: This moisturiser is specifically formulated for men’s thicker, coarser skin. Enriched with caffeine, capryloyl salicylic acid, and linseed extract, the Age Defender Cream Moisturizer works to diminish visible ageing concerns and gently exfoliate rough skin.
Shaving gifts for dad
Gifts for dad don’t always have to reinvent the wheel – shaving products are a classic Father’s Day gift for a reason. This year, give the gift of a close, comfortable shave with Kiehl’s most iconic shaving formulas.

Body care gifts for dad
If you’ve got facial skincare covered this Father’s Day, consider one of Kiehl’s body care formulas for your next present for dad.
Men naturally have thicker, rougher skin than women, so a body wash and moisturiser can offer some much-needed nourishment from head to toe.
- Body Fuel Wash: Formulated with an energising blend of menthol, caffeine, vitamin E, vitamin C, and zinc, this all-in-one hair and body wash gently removes excess oil, sweat, and impurities for a whole-body clean – and an invigorating start to any day.
- Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream: An all-over body cleanse demands a hydrating follow-up, and the Ultra Body Mega Moisture Squalane Cream is up to the task. Enriched with squalane and pro-ceramides, this nourishing body cream locks in moisture on the skin surface, maintaining hydration for up to three days.
