Blokes can use anything girls can. Just because you are not neccessarily as clever, witty, emotionally in touch or as fully rounded as us girls, you are still biologically the same 
OK seriously, as a bloke, you could possibly start off with a stronger % as your skin is likely to be thicker than a woman's. I think you want at least 10%, so you could go for any of the brands like SC, cellular, vivier etc. psf do one with hyaluronic acid which may be good as you may not need to use a moisturiser over the top as your skin is slightly oily. I use the cellular skin one as does carekate who has very oily skin (I have dry), so that may be a goer. Do not use the diannayvonne one, made by (I think) professional formulations, It turns very quick  |

For oily skin you might want to try Skinceuticals. It is a little drying. Although some members with oily skin have had good results from Cellular Skin RX, and this one is very reasonably priced!  |

| You'll want to use a good moisturizer after you use the Serum 10. But wait 3-5 minutes after you apply the Serum 10 to apply the moisturizer. Skinceuticals Hydrating B5 Gel is wonderful & I would highly recommend you use it in conjuntion with the Serum 10. Skinceuticals also makes a Serum 20 & a Serum 15 you may want to consider. |

If you want moisture, your could try B5 serum after the c serum. You NEED some sunscreen! |

Not necessarily!!!! As you can tell by my signature, I'm a gen-u-ine greaseball (although somewhat more under control thanks to Decleor Ylang Ylang oil and Vit-C serum), and I don't use any moisturizer -- ever! My skin makes enough moisture of it's own. I just cleanse, swipe some of my homemade ACV Super Toner over my face, apply my (homemade) Vit-C serum, wait 5-10 minutes, then apply the aforementioned Y-Y oil, wait another few minutes for that to absorb, then apply my Decleor Hydra-Matt Regulating Fluid. I supposed the latter could be considered a moisturizer, but...I still feel that if you've got really oily skin that you don't necessarily need to apply a moisturizer after a Vit-C serum.
Just my 2¢....

Yes, you could do that!! Maybe the Avene Spray sunscreen that Rosebud uses would be good! I think she said it was light feeling! |
