Today I would like to share with you my favourites for skincare. To be honest, I don’t use many brands and I like to stick to always to the same products (specially if they work!).
A few months ago, I received the CELLULAR FOR MEN collection from La Colline and since then I still use it.
For who don’t know the brand, they are based in the Valais Sion, at the heart of a Swiss research network for biotechnology, La Colline benefits from numerous technological innovations in cell therapy. With its luxurious collections for sophisticated skin care, La Colline is fully committed to excellent quality and effectiveness.
I was very happy to receive the CELLULAR FOR MEN, their men’s anti-aging line, which offers innovative and complementary skincare products developed specifically to help men recover impeccable, youthful-looking skin, brimming with energy.
Cellular Cleansing & Exfoliating Gel
This fresh gel was designed as a 2-in-1 product to cleanse, detoxify and supply the skin with new oxygen, and it adapts perfectly to the requirements the skin. This cleansing gel is pleasant to rub in and easy to wash off and leaves you feeling fresh without the skin feeling tight or dry.
Cellular Revitalizing Care Cellular
This multifunctional treatment brings a real freshness kick to tired skin thanks to its three-fold effect on the moisture supply, the signs of tiredness and the fine lines and wrinkles. This care offers an immediate freshness experience without leaving a greasy film.
Cellular Total Eye Care
The delicate eye contours, which all strains (tiredness, stress, age) can be seen, require special care to increase the look and give them their radiance again. This gel combats sagging skin and fatigue around the eyes.
Triple Metal Serum
This face and eye serum for men smoothes and firms the skin. Highly concentrated in active ingredients, it gives the skin a fresh and radiant appearance and reduces dark circles and bags under the eyes.
I use the products on daily basis and I can tell they are very efficient and make my skin look amazing!

Why skincare for men is different
Men’s skin is not completely different from women’s skin, but there are a few points that many men’s skincare lines take into account:
- Shaving. Daily or regular shaving can irritate the skin, so products for men often focus on soothing and refreshing.
- Texture. Many men prefer light gels and fluids that absorb quickly and don’t leave a greasy finish.
- Simplicity. A short routine of three or four products is easier to stick to than a long list of steps.
The CELLULAR FOR MEN line follows this logic, with a cleanser, a daily care, an eye product and a serum that can be combined into a simple routine.
How to build a simple routine with this line
If you are new to skincare, this is a common order to use products like these:
Morning
- Cleanse with the Cellular Cleansing & Exfoliating Gel. Massage it gently onto damp skin and rinse with lukewarm water.
- Apply the serum. A small amount of the Triple Metal Serum is enough for the face and eye area.
- Eye care. Tap a small amount of the Cellular Total Eye Care around the eye contour with your ring finger, without rubbing.
- Moisturise with the Cellular Revitalizing Care.
- Sun protection. Finish with a sunscreen if your moisturiser does not include SPF. This is one of the most effective steps to slow down visible skin ageing.
Evening
- Cleanse to remove dirt, sweat and pollution from the day.
- Apply serum, eye care and moisturiser as in the morning.
A few general tips:
- Apply products from the lightest to the richest texture. Serums go before creams.
- Use exfoliating products with care. If your skin feels irritated, reduce how often you use them.
- Be patient. Skin needs a few weeks of regular use before you can judge results.
- Patch test any new product on a small area of skin first, especially if your skin is sensitive.
