Strive Skincare

Strive is a New York-based skincare company dedicated to helping men look, feel, and perform their best through science-backed formulations. We create high-performance products like moisturizers, serums, face washes, and scrubs that use proven concentrations of active ingredients such as niacinamide, peptides, and retinaldehyde. Unlike many brands that rely on trendy, unproven extracts or minimal amounts of actives, we prioritize what works - backed by published research - and use just that.

Founded & formulated by chemist Angel Olavarria after years of frustration with men’s products that overpromised and underdelivered, Strive was born out of a mission to make effective skincare approachable and straightforward. We know that men want to look confident, attractive, and healthy without needing a complicated routine. That’s why we focus on streamlined formulas that tackle common concerns like dull skin, dark circles, breakouts, and early signs of aging, all while being gentle enough for daily use.
