Baseline Bundle
EVERY INGREDIENT HAS A JOB. What's inside. What it does. Why it matters.
KEYSTONE Antioxidant Defense Moisturizer
THD ASCORBATE Stable Vitamin C
What It Is A stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C.
What It Does Neutralizes free radicals from UV and environmental exposure. Supports collagen synthesis and reduces oxidative damage over time.
Why We Chose It Standard Vitamin C degrades fast and irritates skin. THD Ascorbate penetrates deeper, stays stable, and works without the sting.
RESVERATROL Plant Antioxidant
What It Is A polyphenol antioxidant found in plant skins and seeds.
What It Does Amplifies Vitamin C activity and defends against oxidative stress at the cellular level.
Why We Chose It Works synergistically with THD Ascorbate — the combination is significantly more effective than either ingredient alone under field conditions.
CoQ10 Coenzyme Q10
What It Is A naturally occurring antioxidant produced by every cell in the body.
What It Does Supports cellular energy production in the skin and neutralizes oxidative damage at the mitochondrial level.
Why We Chose It Production declines with age and environmental stress — exactly the conditions our customers operate in. Topical CoQ10 replenishes what exposure depletes.
HYALURONIC ACID HA
What It Is A naturally occurring humectant found in connective tissue.
What It Does Draws moisture into the skin and holds it there under low-humidity and high-output conditions.
Why We Chose It Dehydration is the first thing that breaks down skin performance under exposure. HA addresses it at the source without adding weight or grease.
JOJOBA OIL Simmondsia Chinensis
What It Is A liquid wax ester structurally similar to the skin's natural sebum.
What It Does Seals the moisture barrier without clogging pores. Absorbs fast and leaves no residue.
Why We Chose It Most occlusive oils feel heavy under load. Jojoba behaves like skin — it locks in hydration while staying completely non-greasy.
HEADWATER Performance Enzyme Cleanser
PAPAIN Papaya Enzyme
What It Is A proteolytic enzyme derived from papaya.
What It Does Breaks down the protein bonds holding dead skin cells to the surface, clearing them without physical friction or abrasion.
Why We Chose It Mechanical exfoliation damages skin under stress. Enzymatic action does the same job without the irritation — cleaner results, zero inflammation risk.
BROMELAIN Pineapple Enzyme
What It Is A proteolytic enzyme complex extracted from pineapple stem.
What It Does Works alongside Papain to break down dead skin, sweat residue, and environmental debris. Also has natural anti-inflammatory properties.
Why We Chose It The Papain + Bromelain combination creates a broader enzymatic action than either ingredient alone. More complete clearance, faster reset.
ALOE VERA Aloe Barbadensis
What It Is A gel-forming plant extract with documented soothing and hydrating properties.
What It Does Calms irritation and delivers immediate hydration post-cleanse, offsetting the potential dryness of enzyme activity.
Why We Chose It Enzymatic cleansers can leave skin feeling stripped. Aloe counterbalances that — the skin finishes clean and comfortable, not tight.
ALLANTOIN
What It Is A naturally occurring compound found in plants including comfrey root.
What It Does Promotes skin cell renewal, soothes irritation, and supports barrier recovery after exposure to sweat, heat, and environmental stressors.
Why We Chose It The skin after a hard day needs to recover, not just get clean. Allantoin accelerates that recovery process so the barrier is ready for the next round.

FAQ

Why use both instead of just one?

Headwater clears sweat, grit and buildup. Keystone reinforces your barrier and defends against daily environmental stress. Together, they reset and protect, so your skin stays steady instead of reacting.

Is this enough for a full routine?

For most men. yes. Cleanse. Defend. Move on. Add sunscreen during the day if you're in direct sunlight.

What order do I use them in?

Cleanse with Headwater first. Apply Keystone to dry skin afterwards. Two steps. Done.

How long will the Baseline last me?

Used daily, most customers get 6 weeks of use per bottle. A little goes a long way. For subscriptions, every 45 days is a good starting point. You can change your subscription frequency anytime.

Who is the Baseline best for?

Work outside? It's for you.
Train hard? It's for you.

Do you often find your skin exposed to the elements?
Covered in mud, dust, saltwater or cut by the wind at the summit?
We built this for you.

Exfoliating face wash for men

My husband does martial arts on a gross mat five days a week with a bunch of other sweaty people. He doesn’t like most facial cleansers as they don’t feel like they clean enough and he’s prone to rashes and whatnot, so he uses a bar soap. He gets these bumps on his cheeks that aren’t pimples; just little bumps that occasionally have some redness around them.He says he likes the feel of this face wash and while he initially felt like it wasn’t cleaning well enough, his skin is looking better and more smooth, so it’s definitely doing something. He says it doesn’t smell too strong and he’s going to stop using the bar soap on his face now that he has this.This is honestly expensive for such a small bottle, but it’s a fantastic product for sweaty men.

Gentle, yet does a great job cleansing!

My husband has been really impressed with this cleanser! It leaves his skin feeling incredibly clean. The formula is gentle enough for daily use, yet it does a great job removing dirt, and he says it leaves his face feeling fresh and smooth.The packaging is sleek, and looks nice as well!

Feels nice

I've been struggling with some redness on my face for some time. I don't know whether it's razor burn or what, but no matter what I've tried, nothing seems to have worked. From pre-shave balm, to various aftershave, face wash, etc. hydrocortisone, etc. nothing has worked. I've never heard of Outbound Apothecary, but heard about them on some social media videos and decided to give it a try.It comes in the little black box as shown. I admit, I'd totally even forgotten this was something, and I'd ordered another health care product and was a little confused when I received this. The packaging looks nice, and, I wanted to try to unscrew it to see how it smelled. Not the easiest thing. To dispense, you push down on the top, and it pops up and allows you to have the clear gel come out. Note there is a little pull tab thing you have to take off that has perforations before you're able to do so.The instructions say to lather for about 20-30 seconds. The next day, after receiving, I decided to use it in the shower. The instructions say to use after a workout, a long day, etc. I'd actually been out mowing the lawn and doing some other yard work, so kinda did a "workout" of sorts in my mind. The gel lathers up pretty nicely in the shower, and felt good on my face.The biggest surprise for me, after merely a few days, the redness on my face has started to lessen. I've not seen my skin like this on my cheeks in a long time. Like I said, no matter what I've tried, from different razors to after shave, face washes, etc. nothing seemed to help. I don't know what this has to make any difference, but I've been extremely thrilled with the results so far. My skin feels the nicest it has in a long time. Keep up the good work Outbound Apothercary!

Fantastic moisturizer

I got this moisturizer for my husband and he loves it! It’s lightweight and doesn’t leave behind any sticky or greasy residue. The scent is light and yummy! It does a great job moisturizing his face after a long day outside working or just as an everyday moisturizer. He has pretty sensitive skin, too, and this product doesn’t cause any sort of irritation after applying. Although it is a little on the pricey side, it’s definitely worth it for the quality of the product! A little bit goes a long way as well, so this 1.7oz bottle should last for quite a while. Bonus points for being on the cleaner side as far as ingredients go! We’ll definitely be getting more once this bottle finally runs out!

Men's Face Moisturizer

I was hoping my husband would like this after shaving but it was a no go for him (he didn't care for the scent) but that's okay with me as I might use it (I like the scent). The scent I pick up on the most is the rosemary, I don't really notice the rest. I won't use it on my face but chest and arms. It's not greasy and applies nicely but the only reason for the 4 stars is both of us thought it felt drying (not horribly so just a tad).

Great moisturizer!

I’m not sure what I was expecting with this but I’m pleasantly surprised with it!It did take a couple of pumps to get it going, but that’s the reasoning with the specific component it’s in. So don’t give up if it’s not pumping!It does have a light herbal scent which I’m really loving! Can’t really pinpoint it.It does hydrate really nicely, as in my face doesn’t feel dry after using, but I’m not left looking greasy. It also absorbs really quickly into the skin!I’m very impressed

Quality face wash

So far I’m pretty happy with this face wash. It lathers well without getting too soapy and it easily rinses off. I think the consistency is just right. The scent is pretty neutral, just a nice clean smell. I’ve used it a handful of times now and am pretty well pleased. It does a good job cleaning and not drying out my skin. If you’re used to a scrub or something that cleanses with grit this isn’t it, but it’s a good milder face wash. The price is the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars. It does have good ingredients, but still seems a bit pricey for the size bottle.

fresh feeling face wash that actually works

i have been using this face cleanser in my daily routine and it has been pretty solid. it leaves my skin feeling clean without making my face feel dry or tight. i like that it helps clear out the dirt and oil after a long day. the texture feels nice and it is easy to use in the shower. my face feels smoother and a little fresher after using it. the scent is chill and not too strong which i like. it has become an easy part of my morning routine and i keep reaching for it. definitely a nice upgrade from basic face washes i have tried before.

my daily go to face moisturizer for keeping skin fresh

i have been using this face lotion for a while and it has been pretty solid. it goes on smooth, soaks in fast, and does not leave my face feeling greasy or sticky. i like using it after washing my face because it helps keep my skin feeling soft and fresh. the texture is light and easy to wear during the day. it has a clean feel and works well with my routine. i usually forget i even have it on, which is a big plus. my skin feels better, less dry, and more balanced after using it.

Made in the US, Cruelty-Free

Outbound Apothecary Keystone Mens Face Moisturizer | Daily Face Moisturizer for Men with Resveratrol, CoQ10, Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid | Barrier Defense, Fast-Absorbing, Non-Greasy Men's Face Lotion:I ordered this moisturizer for my husband. This came nicely packaged; it would even be suitable as a gift. This has a pump to get the product out, and it worked well with no issues.I really appreciate that this is cruelty-free and made in the U.S. I do wish that the advertisement had listed all the ingredients for those of us with skin sensitivities and allergies.My husband enjoyed this moisturizer. It works well and is beard-safe. The current price is $42, which is a little pricey but worth it if you're looking for a quality men's moisturizer.

I have only used off the shelf products for my skin care and never had any real significant results. I bought these products together and only use them every other day or after a long working day outside. These products used together are a game changer, truly great products. My wife really likes the scent as well so that's a plus.
