- Higher sebum secretion levels that contribute to oilier skin and make skin prone to clogged pores, breakouts and the onset of ageing signs. Their sebum secretion levels typically start increasing from their 30s and continue to do so throughout their lifespan.
- Significantly lower skin hydration and hence, their skin tends to be less moisturized.
- Significantly duller skin tone. This is caused by coarser facial hair and environmental pollutants like UV rays.
- The study also revealed that men tend to have a rougher skin texture caused by daily facial shaving.

Based on SK-II’s holistic skin tracking study spanning a decade, SK-II scientists have also successfully mapped out the properties of skin to identify the visible components that define skin’s ideal state at any age. By combining these new findings with the insights on men’s skin, SK-II has unearthed the five critical dimensions that affect the vibrancy and clarity of men’s skin: Texture Refinement, Firmness Power, Wrinkle Resilience, Spot Control, Radiance Enhancement.

 

 

Tackling the visible and invisible

 

Visible dirt such as dust and sebum and invisible ones such as bacteria can build up on the skin surface, clogging pores. This slows down the skin renewal process and ultimately results in multiple skin problems such as oiliness, dullness, uneven tone, spots, fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.

Working into a rich lather, the SK-II MEN Moisturizing Cleanser deeply cleanses skin and pores by thoroughly removing every trace of dirt – both the visible and invisible.

It also removes blackheads and whiteheads that cause skin to break out.
