By Aaron Kok - published
Let’s face it, we’re all busy with our lives and not many people have the luxury of spending more than a few minutes each morning on their grooming and skincare. “Massage gently for 10 minutes, and then complete these three other steps”? Who has the time?
If you’re reading this and vigorously nodding, we hear you, bro. For the time-strapped and the can’t-be-fussed, here’s a solution: get a skincare product that does more than one thing. Here, we round up eight of our favourite multitaskers to get you going each morning.

The Best Multitasking Grooming Products For Men
1. Hydrate + Protect: Relief Sun Aqua-Fresh Rice + B5 SPF50+ PA++++, $28.95, Beauty of Joseon at Watsons
A sunscreen that doesn’t feel like sunscreen? Yes, please. This lightweight K-beauty favourite hydrates with rice extract and vitamin B5, while offering SPF50+ protection—no white cast, no greasy aftermath. Perfect for oily or combination skin in Singapore’s humidity.
2. Cleanse + Clarify: Coconut Clay Cleansing Foam, $16.90, Tocobo at Shopee Mall
You know those nights when you want a deep clean but have zero patience? This is your answer. Just lather and rinse, and let the pink clay do the heavy lifting as it draws out impurities without stripping your skin. Bonus: it smells like a beach holiday.
3. Firm + Lift + Hydrate: Multi Peptides & GF Advanced Lifting Serum, $255, Allies of Skin
We love, love, love this skincare hero from Allies Of Skin, and for good reason.
Each bottle is formulated with a 9 percent Lifting Peptide Complex that helps plump and smoothen skin, thereby reducing signs of ageing or fatigue. There’s also MSM, which is short for Dimethyl Sulfone that targets premature ageing and promotes better skin elasticity and youthfulness. Having used this daily, I find this product’s formulation also works as a moisturiser if you have oily/combination skin.
4. Renew + Firm: Micro-Dose Anti-Aging Retinol Serum with Ceramides and Peptide, $115, Kiehl’s
Retinol is one of the only skincare ingredients backed by science to prevent photo-ageing through long term use, but it also holds a bad reputation. For the longest time, a retinol cream was something reserved exclusively for someone experiencing acne. The truth is, we can all benefit from using it. Sure, it deals with reducing acne flare ups, but it also works on reducing fine lines and wrinkles and pigmentation. It’s a fountain of youth by any other name.
Kiehl’s has a great retinol-based serum that meets your retinol needs, and it’s formulated for daily use without having to worry about angry skin. Furthermore, it’s bumped up with ceramides and peptides to plump up and firm skin, so you get a more youthful-looking mien.

5. Cleanse + Lift: Pro-Collagen Rose Cleansing Balm, $105, Elemis
Part cleanser, part spa treatment, this cult balm melts into skin to remove grime, makeup, and stress. Massage it in, or leave it on for 10 minutes as a facial mask when your skin needs extra love. The rose scent? Chef’s kiss.
6. Glow + Firm + Moisturise: Radiance Renewal Mask, $60, Paula’s Choice
If mornings are a rush-and-go type of situation for you, perhaps a nighttime routine might be better for you. Here’s a star buy: a mask that you can leave on overnight to wake up to brighter skin that’s hydrated and nourished. The texture is thin enough to be absorbed quickly, and this leave-on mask helps smoothen out fine lines whilst delivering a deeply-penetrating dose of hydration that will give you a refreshed glow the next morning.
7. Tighten + Refresh + Protect: N°1 De Chanel Revitalizing Serum-In-Mist, $135, Chanel
We love a facial mist for many reasons. Firstly, it’s a go-everywhere skincare companion that you can take with you to work, to the gym, or your errands run. All it takes is a couple of spritzes and you automatically look and feel fresher. Formulated from red camellia, the mist targets the appearance of wrinkles and pores, diminishing these whilst improving skin elasticity. Plus, this facial mist also helps to protect your skin against environmental pollutants and smells amazing while doing so.

8. Even + Protect: Watermelon Glow Dew Balm SPF 30, $49, Glow Recipe at Sephora
Sun protection is something everyone needs, and that includes you too, guys.
This best-selling sunscreen stick means that there’s less mess, and you can carry it everywhere with you. Each stick gives you dewier-looking skin without the hassle of white cast, and you can always reapply it anytime you need more protection from the relentless sun. Furthermore, it’s formulated with niacinamide so it brightens and evens skin tone over time, so that saves you the step of needing a serum.
