The Grooming Drops Defining 2025

GQ South Africa

|

November 2025

2025 is serving up grooming drops that double as self-care investments. From standout scents and skin-tech serums to next-level shavers, this year's drops turn your bathroom shelf into a trophy cabinet

- Anele Geqiwe

1. DERMALOGICA Neurotouch Symmetry Serum

Where skincare crosses over into tech. Packed with peptides and neuroactive ingredients, it helps improve facial symmetry (yes, really) and combats fine lines. In 2025, serums aren't just about hydration - they're about science in a bottle.

2. Valentino Born In Roma Uomo

Extradoses Parfum

If Valentino's original Born in Roma Uomo was your evening go-to, Extradose turns the volume up. It's richer, moodier and unapologetically seductive.

3. Skoon. FRUITFUL RADIANCE Renewal Night Liquid Exfoliant

Reliable, unshakable and still the bakkie you'd trust when the road disappears into the horizon
