In reality, Brotege is a state of mind, but as a company, Brotege’s mission is to create simple and effective men’s products without the cringe. The company was born out of the need to find an affordable all-in-one solution for guys who don’t want to become skincare experts just to keep their faces from looking worn out. Our first product has everything a dude needs to keep that face looking fresh:

• A daily moisturizer with vitamins and minerals to keep that ugly mug from drying out (but with no weird scents and no greasy residue).
• SPF 15 to block out the sun (might be overkill if you’re the kind of dude that’s out till 4 and sleeps till noon, but better safe than sorry).
• Retinol - a Vitamin A-derived key ingredient clinically proven to fight signs of aging.

That’s a roger, my dude!

But for really sensitive skin: if sunscreen usually irritates you, Brotege might not be the best fit. If you experience any irritation while using it, please, for the love of god, STOP and reach out to us for a full refund at bros@brotege.com.

Each tube lasts about a month—unless you're doing weird things with it that we don't want to know about.

Apply every morning (or whenever you rise from your slumber). Use more often if you're out in the sun a lot. Remember: once-a-day Brotege keeps Leatherface away!

Even though our marketing is ridiculous, we're dead serious about making your face look sick (like slay sick, not deathly sick). We've spent the past 3 years developing one of the best, most versatile, and most affordable men's face care products out there. Packed with essential vitamins & minerals, you will feel the difference instantly or your money back. The cornerstones of our daily moisturizer are SPF-15 (essential to protect your face from sun damage) and Retinol (an anti aging ingredient which is scientifically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles). We are totally paraben free, fragrance free, and free of any unnecessary serums that would make your face feel greasy.

We want to get you the best product at the cheapest possible price, so our shipping is always capped at $5 bucks for orders in the US. And any orders over $50 bucks get free shipping. We have bundle options at our checkout for further discounts and free shipping. (pssst - If you missed the Founder's Club and want the best deal, get on the 3-month supply subscription - you'll get $30% off AND free shipping.)

The face cream itself was developed, formulated, and produced right here in the good ol' US of A. Some of our packaging materials were made overseas and shipped here for assembly.

Bro — of course! Our goal is to build a community around our subscribers and make it easy to get what you need delivered every month, but we’re not the mafia—you can leave whenever you want. Just remember: if you’re in the Founders Club, once you cancel, you can’t get the 50% off pricing again (okay, that part is a bit like the mafia).

If you’re unhappy for any reason, reach out to us at bros@brotege.com for a full refund. We’re a small, independent company up against the big dogs, and taking care of our supporters—especially the early ones—is our priority. You have one year from the purchase date to request a refund. Just send back the partially used tube (to avoid scammers), but we obviously can't take back fully-used tubes . . . wise-ass.

See the full story below, but I just wanted to make something that me & my bros would use, and there was nothing out there that was simple, affordable and spoke to us. I feel like our "demo" is often overlooked by bigger corporations, and I was inspired by other independent companies who just paved their own way - so I said fuck it - who needs savings anyway.

Yes! Part of the reason we chose a metal tube is because of the impact of plastics on the environment (the other part is that it looks sick af and it feels good to squeeze the shit out of it). The tube is 100% recyclable. Unfortunately, for now, we couldn’t source an alternative for the plastic cap, but that’s something we wanna make happen in the future.

So glad you asked - a portion of all our profits will go to help support animal shelters and dog rescues. We will keep you posted on what we do there.

The idea that retinol can’t be used during the day is a myth, it’s perfectly safe as long as it’s paired with SPF. Higher SPF always provides more protection, but as you go higher, the product starts to feel heavier. (If you’re going to be in the sun all day, it’s better to reapply sunscreen every two hours regardless of the SPF). Our goal in making Brotege was to create an easy-to-use daily moisturizer that would protect your skin, fight against aging, and that would be light-weight enough that you wouldn’t even feel it. In order to accomplish that, we had to achieve the perfect balance of retinol, sunscreen, and the viscosity of the formula. Obviously skincare pros would opt to have a stand-alone prescription-grade retinol serum, a separate sunscreen, and a separate moisturizer. But Brotege was made for people who are either too busy, too overwhelmed, or too cash-strapped to deal with a multi-step routine - for bros, not pros! We created a product that would be affordable, simple, yet highly effective, and we guarantee you will love it or your money back. 

We keep the retinol percentage low so it's suitable for daily use without causing irritation. Sometimes there can be too much of a good thing, and we don't want our bros with flaky skin.

No animals (or bros) were harmed in the making of Brotege! Brotege is cruelty free certified by Leaping Bunny. There are also no animal-derived ingredients in Brotege, and we're in the process of being certified by vegan.org. 

We’re fast as hell - Brotege ships in a day, and delivery takes around 3-4 days after that, depending on location. Shipping’s $5 (free on orders over $50), so you can get that fresh face fast and affordable.

Right now, we’re US only, but international shipping is coming soon. Sign up for our mailing list , and we’ll let you know as soon as we’re shipping beyond the border!

We’re frequently asked if Brotege is just for dudes. Our reply is simple: BRO IS A STATE OF MIND. 

Our marketing is obviously geared towards guys, as not only are there many less products available to them, but their education and appetite for personal hygiene is so alarmingly low that we felt morally obligated to help them. We knew that the efficacy of our face moisturizer would appeal to women, and we hoped that many of them would subscribe to Brotege on behalf of their deadbeat lesser halves, but frankly, we were surprised by how many women fell in love with the product and started using it themselves.
