Most bald men figure out the routine by trial and error. They buy the Cleanser, the Scrub, and the Moisturiser separately, then realise they need all three anyway.
The Hero Kit skips the guesswork.
- Skull Gel Cleanser - daily cleanse that removes oil and buildup without stripping the skin
- Skull Charcoal Scrub - used on shave days to clear dead skin and prep the scalp for the blade
- Skull Matte Moisturiser - 72-hour hydration with zero shine, used every day after cleansing
This is the foundation of the Skull Matte Control System. On non-shave days, the Cleanser and Moisturiser handle everything. On shave days, you add the Scrub first, then cleanse, then moisturise after the blade.
For the man who takes his head seriously.
Not in a vain way. In a "I've stopped tolerating dry, flaky, shiny skin and I'm doing something about it" way. The Hero Kit is the starting point for anyone who wants to actually look after their scalp, not just run soap over it and hope for the best.

Why It Works
Daily Cleanse, Zero Residue
The Skull Gel Cleanser removes oil, buildup, and daily grime without stripping the skin. Your scalp feels clean not tight, not dry.
Exfoliation That Actually Works
Walnut shell and activated charcoal in the Charcoal Scrub clear dead skin and unclog pores on shave days, so your scalp stays clear and the blade glides cleaner.
72-Hour Hydration, No Shine
The Matte Moisturiser locks in moisture all day without the greasy finish. Regu-Seb helps balance oil so your head looks sharp, not slick.
Built for the Routine You Already Have
Cleanser and Moisturiser every day. Add the Scrub on shave days. Three products, one system, no guesswork.
What to Expect
- A scalp that's clean, clear, and hydrated every single day
- Less flaking, less dryness, and noticeably healthier-looking skin
- A matte finish that lasts, no midday shine, no greasy residue
- A shave-day prep that actually sets the blade up for a smoother run
- The three products that form the foundation of every good bald head care routine
What's Included
Step 1: Prime
Skull Charcoal Scrub
Use this first. The walnut shell particles physically buff away dead skin cells while activated charcoal draws out oil and buildup. Peppermint and caffeine stimulate the scalp and improve circulation. Rinse clean, then follow with the cleanser.
Skull Gel Cleanser
A lightweight gel that lifts residue, excess oil, and any remaining scrub without leaving your scalp tight or dry. The final rinse before moisturising. Your scalp should feel clean, not stripped.
Step 2: Lock In
Skull Matte Moisturiser
Apply a small amount, warm it in your palms, and work it across your scalp in circular motions. The formula absorbs fast, leaves no greasy residue, and delivers up to 72 hours of hydration. Suitable for your face as well. One product, head to toe.
How to Use
Every day:
- Apply the Gel Cleanser, massage, rinse, pat dry
- Apply the Matte Moisturiser, warm in palms, work across scalp in circular motions
On shave days, add Step 1:
Start with the Charcoal Scrub before cleansing, massage in circular motions, rinse, then follow with the Cleanser and Moisturiser as normal
Want the complete system? Add the Modern Skull Shave Cream and Skull Aftershave Lotion.

Rated 5/5 by Bald Guys
Purchased and delivered within a few days. Very happy with the cleanser, I also bought the scrub which is also excellent!
I will be back for more
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

Thank you for choosing The Bare Skull Co.
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! 🙌

Skull Matte Moisturiser
Recently purchased the scrub, aftershave and moisturizer and loving it so far, definitely going to be a regular customer
Great product. Leaves your face totally refreshed and it smells great
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!
An amazing scrub that helps prepare for shaving. Smells awesome and a little goes a long way which is great value for money.
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!
Bought this as a Xmas present for my husband. He has never been one to take care of his skin after shaving etc. After only one use he can see and feel a huge difference., Smells gorgeous too. Thank you bare skull for such great products!!
Amazing moisturizer and smells fantastic!! Will definitely be ordering this again
My hubby really pleased with this purchase will definitely be ordering again, thank you bare skull
I have just used this Shave Cream ( for my face).
It is the most luxurious ( so my partner says),feel ever.
You and your partner, won't be disappointed.
Love it.
Antonio.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I always worry about a shiny head with moisturiser but this is the first one I have tried that helps to keep the shine away.
I only use an electric razor and this made my head feel amazing and cooled my scalped immediately.
Loved the feel as it lathers up in your hands, way better than any other product I have ever used. this is definitely a favourite and smells so fresh. My partner couldn't get enough of it.
Never used a scrub before, wow what a huge difference. My head looks and feels amazing. love the smell too.
The perfect way to finish my shaving experience. Light smell which is perfect not to compete with my cologne
Made my skin feel soft to touch, the ingredients are premium and it does show. No razor burn or irritation which I have had with other products before
Didn’t think I would need it after the exfoliator but it further cleaned the pores and primed the head.

FAQs
Will the Matte Moisturiser make my head shiny?
No. It's formulated to help balance oil and leave a matte finish, not a glossy one.
Can I use these products on my face as well?
Yes. All three are safe for facial skin, though the kit is optimised for the scalp.
How long will each product last?
The Matte Moisturiser lasts approximately 2–3 months with daily use. The Charcoal Scrub and Gel Cleanser are similarly proportioned for regular use.
Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. The formulas are gentle enough for all skin types. Patch testing is recommended if you have a history of reactions to skincare.
What if I also shave my head?
Add the Modern Skull Shave Cream and Skull Aftershave Lotion to complete the full five-step system.
What's your returns policy?
30-day money-back guarantee, but it requires consistent daily use for the full 30 days. Skincare takes time to work. Give it the full run before you judge it.
