Whether you’re jetting off to Ibiza, Bali or just escaping to your friend’s Palm Springs pool, there’s one universal truth: your skincare routine shouldn’t take a vacation just because you are. But if you’ve ever had a TSA agent toss your favorite face cream into the bin of no-fly products, you know how tricky it can be to keep your skincare game strong on the go. That’s where Grimoire New York steps in.
The queer-owned brand has cracked the code on luxury skincare for men—with TSA-approved sizes, multitasking formulas, and packaging that actually looks good. Whether your post-flight face needs a glow-up or you’re battling beach burn, Grimoire has your back (and your T-zone).
All of Grimoire’s products are under 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters), which means they’re carry-on compliant and won’t get confiscated by an agent at security. Just toss them in your clear quart-sized bag, zip it up, and keep it moving. Your skin deserves to fly first class, even if you’re in Zone 5.
And it’s not just about vanity (though, let’s be honest, that’s part of it). Travel throws your skin into chaos—airplane air sucks out moisture, travel stress can trigger breakouts, and hotel tap water? Don’t even get us started. Grimoire’s travel-friendly skincare products are formulated for real life—sweaty nights, sun-drenched days, hangovers, hookups, and hotel towels that feel like sandpaper.

Jet Lagged, Not Washed Out: Nightmare Away Face Cream
Late nights, early flights, questionable Airbnbs—you deserve a travel-friendly product that works overtime. Nightmare Away is a hydrating face cream that reboots your skin while you sleep (or try to). With lavender, shea butter, and micro super greens, this lightweight moisturizer fights dryness, fatigue, and irritation.
Throw it on before bed, or after a long-haul flight, and wake up looking more rested than you are. It’s like a face mask and a weighted blanket had a TSA-friendly baby.
Beach, Please: Beach Guise Face Serum
Every man knows the sun giveth (hot photos) and taketh away (moisture, dignity). Enter Beach Guise, a cooling after-sun serum. Formulated with chamomile, gotu kola, and anti-fatigue microgreens, it soothes, hydrates, and helps repair post-sun skin without clogging your pores or wrecking your tan. Plus, it fits in your carry-on. So if you’re planning a beach trip, a desert rave, or just forgot SPF, this is your rescue plan in a sleek little tube.
Red-Eye Recovery: Eye Roll Eye Serum
Eye bags bigger than your luggage? Eye Roll is a caffeinated eye serum for men that de-puffs, brightens, and smooths the look of tired eyes. One pump, and you’ll look like you got a full eight hours—even if you were up all night making new friends at the hotel bar.
Skin Hangover Cure: Vanity Monday Face Serum
Grimoire gets it—vacation skin isn’t always vacation fresh. Whether you’re hungover, over it, or both, Vanity Monday revives dull, stressed-out skin with a glow-boosting blend of sea buckthorn, wild indigo, and fatigue-fighting micro super greens. Use it in the morning for a refreshed, “didn’t just party all weekend” look—or at night to reset your skin before tomorrow’s selfies. This travel-friendly serum for men packs power without the bulk and works as hard as your Instagram filter.
