Most men wash their head with whatever's in the shower. Body wash, shampoo, a bar of soap. It gets the sweat off, but it also strips the skin, and a stripped scalp is the one that ends up dry, flaky or overly oily by the afternoon.

The Skull Gel Cleanser is made for exposed scalp skin. A lightweight gel that lifts oil, sweat and daily buildup while leaving the skin's moisture where it belongs.

For every bald head, every day. Whether you shave, clip or are naturally bald, this is where the routine starts.

Rated 5/5 by Bald Guys

Customers praised this gel cleanser for its effective cleansing and fresh feel. Shoppers said it "lathers up" well with "a small amount goes a long way" and leaves skin feeling "silky and clean." The natural masculine scent received positive feedback. Works excellently after exfoliating and preps skin for shaving.

I started losing my hair when I turned 40

I started losing my hair when I turned 40. Over the years I’ve just had number one haircut . It was after I noticed the Bareskull advert I decided to shave off the little hair I had and start using the product of Bareskull . It’s great . Easy to apply and my wife loves it. I’m using the Skull Matt moisturiser and Skull Gel

We're so glad to hear that it's been working well for you and that your wife loves it too!

Make the switch

I made the decision to go bald 6 months ago.
I noticed my hair line was thinning and wasn’t terrible but under heat, sweat and beaches it became more and more noticeable.
I made the decision to shave it off but looked online at ways to help whether it be moisturizer or skin care products.

This stuff and skincare routine has been a game changer for me.
The amount of compliments I’ve gotten is insane.

Truly do yourself a favour and get on this.

Thanks so much for sharing your journey, Giles! 🙌
Making the call to go bald takes confidence, and it’s awesome to hear how much of a game changer the routine has been for you. Compliments are always the best proof it’s working 😎. We’re stoked to have played a part in helping you feel even more confident in your skin. Appreciate the support, mate – you’re rocking the look!

Great Scrub

Best charcoal scrub for a man if your wife will leave you any!

Thanks for the awesome review Herman!

No more shine!!

Have been trialling different moisturisers for years in the hopes of finding one that doesn't leave my head looking shiny. After the first use I can finally say I've found one! It smells amazing and a little goes a long way which is great value for money. I'll be a regular customer for sure!

Finally a product that works!

I have been shaving my head for close to 10 years now and finally found a product that does what it says it does. Every item in the kit smells great and doesn't leave my head looking like an oil field when I'm finished which is a first! Customer service has been nothing short of amazing with quick postage and a personalised message inside the box. Will definitely be a repeat customer!

Great products, excellent customer service

I ordered products for my hubby & they arrived in good time for Christmas... Along with a little note from the business owners who obviously back their products. Can't wait for him to try them out!

Awesome!

Used these two products to shave and moisturise my face this morning, couldn’t be happier with the results. Shaving cream felt nicer than most products sold at the supermarket and the after shave lotion was amazing, better than any I’ve ever tried so far.

Best shave ever!

Shaving used to be a painful task and only performed every second day at best. Now that I have switched to using The Bare Skull Co.'s modern shaving cream I can shave daily without getting an inflamed neck and face.

Light moisturiser with a lovely scent.

I originally purchased the matte moisturiser for my husband, however I have taken it hostage. This is a nice and light moisturiser with a lovely scent. It goes on quickly without leaving a heavy or sticky feeling. With a natural matte finish, the skin is left looking soft and my skin doesn't go oily for hours. It lasts for ages too - a little goes a long way. Also, I love that it’s Australian made and contains no toxins.

Bare skulls the best

I have found all their products amazing however my favourite is the bare skull charcoal scrub is the absolute best. Any dry skin ist somehow gets rid of and feels great. I would definitely recommend this product.

Best fresh feeling ever

I only use an electric razor as it shaves me heaps of time but I never thought of using products before. Now I have used these I can't go back. I might ever try a wet shave next time.
