Cardon vs. Lumin: Who Wins the Men’s Skincare Game?
I’ve never been the kind of guy who puts a ton of thought into a skincare routine, but I haven’t been getting the best sleep lately. Between stress from work and my dog whining in the wee hours of the morning, my eyes were looking rough. Every day before I left for work, I’d catch sight of those dark circles in the mirror and cringe.
I knew it was time for a skincare overhaul. I did a little bit of research and came across two leading men’s skincare brands with glowing reviews that promised streamlined routines and high-performing products: Cardon and Lumin. I know brands make a lot of big claims that turn out to be false, but I was intrigued, so I gave both brands a try.
Here’s what I discovered:
If you want to see changes in a short amount of time with a clinically proven product…Cardon
I’ve never used an eye roller before, but after trying Dark Circle Eye Rescue, I can’t imagine NOT using one—it’s really soothing and so simple to use. The roller itself is pretty unique, too: it’s made with three stainless steel balls that glide easily over my skin, and leave a nice cooling sensation behind.
The Dark Circle Eye Rescue uses 2% Haloxyl and has been clinically proven to reduce the appearance of dark eye circles and puffiness. Even in the short period of time I’ve been using it my eyes have started to look brighter and feel much more hydrated.
On the other hand, Lumin’s Dark Circle Defense Balm uses a pump feature to dispense the product. I found it hard to control the exact amount of balm that came out each time, and personally found the process of having to lightly tap under my eyes tedious. I liked how with Cardon, a simple swipe was all I needed. While the caffeine in Lumin’s product did de-puff my eyes, I didn’t see much of a difference in the darkness of my bags.
For serious savings on an entire high-quality skincare routine…Cardon
Having to get ready for work early in the morning doesn’t leave a lot of time for personal care, but the Dark Circle Eye Rescue was so easy to use that I decided to take a look at Cardon’s other offerings, too.
Turns out, I can seriously hone in on my concerns with their Anti-Aging Skincare Set. Even better? Their Black Friday deal is extended through the weekend and you can get 50% off ALL set subscriptions.
If you’re still on the fence, you can get their Bestsellers Trial Set for the same price as one Dark Circle Eye Rescue — but you get three other products for free. I love that Cardon lets you test their products before committing to a set regimen.
I checked out Lumin’s bundle options as well, but noticed heftier prices ranging from $40.50 – $87.20 and full-sized products only. Plus, while Cardon offers free shipping on all subscription orders, Lumin only offers free shipping with orders over $75.
For a hassle-free and convenient ordering experience…it’s a tie
Gone are the days when I had to carve out time to visit a physical store, navigate through rows of products, and then face the overwhelming task of choosing the right skincare items. Both Lumin and Cardon offer subscriptions to ship products straight to your door, making the process of ordering and replenishing skincare products hassle-free and efficient.
Confused on where to start? Both brands have an easy skincare quiz on their website to help you craft a routine based on your specific concerns.
My ultimate winner…Cardon
With their extended Black Friday deal, there’s no excuse NOT to invest in a quality skincare routine today…it’s never been easier.
It’s a no-brainer for me to use Cardon. It’s effective, affordable, and simple to use every day—even for someone who never believed skincare could make a real difference before.
If you’re looking for an easy solution to reducing the appearance of dark circles and under eye puffiness while transforming your skin along the way, take a look at Cardon. Don’t miss out on huge savings with their massive Black Friday sale — it ends this weekend!
